| Abstract | WebQuests are a pedagogical strategy that promotes a guided but autonomous investigation and research on the Internet by students. It is a methodology focused on cooperative and collaborative learning which intends that students take responsibility, both for their own learning process and for their peers, developing their skills of information selection, analysis and synthesis and, thus, promoting the shared construction of knowledge. A case study was developed in how a WebQuest can contribute to improving the ability to search for information, if its resolution develops the work done. The collection of data was made by using an initial questionnaire to determine the level of digital literacy of students, by filling in observation grids during the investigation and, at the end of the research, a second questionnaire was applied to gauge students' opinions about the task proposed in the learning underpinned by this teaching strategy. The findings of this study prove that this WebQuest developed cooperative and collaborative natured skills in students, promoting a constructivist learning. This study also shows that WebQuests encourage students to get in touch or to be in contact with technologies and with information research in different sites, in the classroom, enabling them with new and essential literacies to be successful in the information society in which we are integrated. |
