Tugas Call season 7 (Teaching Integrated Skills)

1. What is a WEBQUEST?

It is an inquiry-based and internet -mediated activity. This activity is firstly introduced by Bernie Dodge at the San Diego univeristy in 1995. In a web quest activities students are provided with problems to solve and links to webpages where they can read and find answers for the provided problems. At the end of the activities, students are then required to make conclusion addressing the provided problems. The conclusion can be written, in the formof papers, posters, or other form of presentations. 

A Webquest usually has a generic structure. It usually contains:

• Introduction
  • The introduction is a means of providing the students with background information that is intended to be a springboard for them to begin the process of inquiry] 
• Task 
  • In most cases, a single question is posed that requires students to analyze a vast array of information.
• Process 
  • In this section, the teacher leads the student through the task. The teacher offers advice on how to manage time, collect data, and provides strategies for working in group situations. 
• Information/Resources  
  • Students are provided with tools (usually web sites), or leads to tools that can help them complete the task. In order for this to be valuable, a teacher must thoroughly review each source. 
•  Evaluation
  • The outcome for Web Quests is usually a product, in most cases, in
  • form of a written/oral report or multimedia presentation. 
• Conclusions
  • Effective Web Quests have a built in mechanism for student reflections. To receive feedback, you can survey your students about their experience, or have the students send you an e-mail sharing their thoughts.
