| What are the essential parts of a WebQuest?
To achieve its efficacy and purpose, WebQuests should contain at least the following parts, which are outlined by Bernie Dodge as critical components in a WebQuest [7, 2]. 1. An introduction. The purpose of the Introduction section of a WebQuest is two fold: first, it's to orient the learner as to what is coming. Secondly, it should raise some interest in the learner through a variety of means. It can do this by making the topic seem relevant to the learner's past experience; relevant to the learner's future goals; attractive, visually interesting; important because of its global implications; urgent, because of the need for a timely solution; fun, because the learner will be playing a role or making something. When projects are related to students’ interests, past experience, or future goals, they are inherently interesting and exciting. For the example of an Introduction visit the WebQuest Creative Problem Solving designed for ESL students at http://php.indiana.edu/~fpawan/creativestudent.html 2. A task is a formal description of what students will have accomplished by the end of the WebQuest. Developing this task - or the main research question -is the most difficult and creative aspect of creating a WebQuest. Students can be asked to publish their findings on a Web site, collaborate in an online research initiative with another site or institution, or create a multimedia presentation on a particular aspect of their research. A well designed task is doable, interesting and elicits thinking in learners that goes beyond rote comprehension. A good example of the Task is given in the Searching for China WebQuest at http://www.kn.pacbell.com/ wired/China/ChinaQuest.html#Task. жүктеу/скачать 9,12 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
