Abstract :

A new model of the Internet support of the project instruction is called the WebQuest. The term of the WebQuest means an expedition supported by information which can be searched on web pages, i.e. “Web discovery expedition“. The WebQuest method offers the project oriented instruction with the use of current and authentic materials which are available on the Internet, autonomous and cooperative learning, team and associate work, assignments for students, work in the field of bibliographic search, etc. In the article there are also presented our proposals of projects for science and technical subject instruction: “Are You Cold? Warm Yourself!“ about chemical warmers, “Car of the Future!“ about fuel cells and “Superabsorbents – amazing polymers!“ about absorption.

Keywords :

WebQuest, Science and Technical Teacher Education, Internet, Project Instruction
