Subject: process part 2

A brief summary just to start discussions:


I understand WebQuests are an online collaborative learning process, where students have to do researches mainly in the net, scaffolding, interacting with the other members of their groups and being oriented by the teacher in order to reach the goal of fulfilling the tasks proposed.

It’s main theoretical foundations lay in these areas:

- motivation: sts must be challenged so that they feel motivated for engaging in the tasks that will lead to learning.
-authenticity and meaninfulness: learning must be ``alive``, sts must care about what they are doing.
- critical and creative thinking, and questioning: that meet the HOTS: higher order thinking skills.
- constructivism philosophy: involves questioning, exploring and reflecting; learners must construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world.
-cooperative learning: sts work in small groups in order to complete meaningful tasks such as solving problems or creating something.
-Differentiation: different resources must be provided in order to meet different needs and interests of the students; i.e. audio, video and texts.
