Exploration in Ways and Rationales of Designing A Desirable Webquest

摘要

Web Quest is an advanced tool which could provide the significant scaffolding to support instructors through incorporating learning objects within systematic designs of learning activities. The focus of this article is to explore how a Webquest is designed reasonably and what rationales are implied in such a design through a case study of Webquest design for a group of ESL/EFL learners in Grade 12. The result indicates that a Webquest which is guided by the principles of constructivist problem solving, social interaction and scaffolding learning can be regarded as a desirable Webquest.
