Webquest

''A Webquest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet'', quoted Dodge, 1995. Webquest is usually group-oriented activity which enables the learners to acquire knowledge that others have with the assistance of WWW. Learning by doing is an essential role of effective learning.

In a diagram of Webquest:

LEARNING INPUT---->TRANSFORMATION---->OUTCOME


Learning input is the piece sorted out after surfing. Or, it is simply a research. To criticize, to elaborate, and to form new new concepts is the time to create transformation. The finalized data is now the outcome.

Webquest is very helpful in the teaching-learning process because it promotes fast acquisition of the subject matter. The learners become the constructors of knowledge. It initiates scaffolding technique to current thinking and practice higher levels of understanding. This technique assists the learners to comprehend the lesson abruptly.

Yes! It strikes a big impact as an educational assistant of our country. It helps for easy integration of subject courses that encompasses mastery of the four macro-skills (listening, speaking, writing and reading) and values formation which act as significant factors for the betterment of our nation.
