WebQest What is?
Webquest model was developed by Bernie Dodge in 1995 who defined it as a research-oriented activity where all or most of the information used comes from resources on the Web.
What are its elements?
- Introduction.
- Task.
- Process.
- Resources.
- Evaluation.
- Conclusion.
key design aspects:
- The task should involve information processing. That is, a WebQuest is not a simple "Treasure Hunt" where students can find answers to questions given, but involves a process of investigation and processing of information obtained.
- WebQuests are group activities and roles. Thus, within each group, each student takes a role different from their peers so as to develop a cooperative in which the contribution of each part is crucial.
Summarizing the previous two: The final task involves a cooperative activity so as to develop higher cognitive processes in nature (analysis, synthesis, evaluation, etc..) - The task must be motivating and correspond with any activity that a given context would be real, for example, a doctor taking a decision, a politician who offers solutions, a council of students, parents and profs to analyze a problem, etc. (Therefore, avoid asking them to do a simple job and expose them as mere students to the class.)
- assessment proposed in matrix form it is described as concretely and clearly as possible the aspects to be evaluated and in what way and assigned values \u200b\u200b(better allocate 4 values) on a scale depending on the degree of compliance objectives. (Pérez Torres, I. 2006).
