Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 休閒產業經營學系碩士班 === 100 === WebQuest is a new teaching strategy, and it has been widely adopted in the teaching practices in our country. The aim of the study is to research many design elements in the Internet learning activities, and proffer each design principle in order that it can be used as the reference for the lesson plan designers and teachers in the future; meanwhile, according to the priorities, it also can be used as the reference for the local teaching assessment personnel. This study, according to the three indicators, "A Rubric for Evaluating WebQuest(Dodge, 2001)", "The learning Power of WebQuest(March, 2004)" and "WebQuest Centre of Excellence Project(The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2006)", has been classified and analyzed with the word and sentence meanings step by step. The Delphi Method was employed in this study to collect the opinions of the academic experts, and the focus group seminar was held to incorporate the application skills of the hands-on award-winning teaching plan designers, and the qualitative content of the feedback was compiled at the same time. The design principles have been integrated into two main systems(social system and technical system) and four evaluation levels(social, psychological, environmental and technical levels). This study has discovered that in the importance aspect, most design principles are "extremely important" and "quite important." Through the collection of the experts' opinions and seminar discussions, the experts all reckon that it is necessary many indicators exist, with no critical values, so we can induce that the experts are of high consensus. There is a systematic framework on the development of the questionnaire and the conclusions. In the feedback of the experts' qualitative opinions, the easily misleading words or sentences have been discussed several times and adjusted to the narrative suitable for the local lesson plan designers. Eventually the design indicators have been developed, and revised to be the design principles that are worth implementation. There are totally 22 ultimate indicators, listed according to their importance and priorities, so that we can fully understand the four main evaluation items, "the multiple interactive levels among teachers and learners", "each member's and teacher's roles, rights and responsibilities in teaching activities", "the websites functions for external use", and "the basic functionality of the teaching websites", to reflect the design quality of the lesson plans as the reference for the future quality assessment indicators, as the means of the follow-up research designs, as the implementation direction for the follow-up research, as the research development that needs to be further explored and is worth conducting, and also as the reference direction for the local teaching assessment personnel.
