The Teaching Process

The teaching sequence consists of presenting the conceptual framework and the qualitative strategy in a combined manner. During the teaching process several selected situations, illustrated as comic drawings (see Fig. 2), are analyzed several times. Each time the students carry out an analysis corresponding to the conceptual level that they have reached until they are able to perform the complete analysis and to employ all the concepts learned in the program (a spiral analysis).
