WebQuests for Reflection and Conceptual Change: Variations on a Popular Model for Guided Inquiry.
Young, David L.; Wilson, Brent G.
WebQuests have become a popular form of guided inquiry using Web resources. The goal of WebQuests is to help students think and reason at higher levels,and use information to solve problems. This paper presents modifications to the WebQuest model drawing on primarily on schema theory. It is believed that these changes will further enhance student reflection and deepen conceptual change through the use of WebQuest activities in the classroom. The revised model is illustrated in a makeover of a sample WebQuest. Includes two figures. (Contains 12 references.) (Author)
