Resumo

This study compared the designs of a traditional style WebQuest and a Web 2.0 style WebQuest in terms of their effectiveness as a teaching tool. The sample included 104 university sophomore students. Students were randomly assigned to two groups, with one group using the traditional style WebQuest and the other used the Web 2.0 style WebQuest. Data were collected (a) using a test developed by the author and (b) by conducting unstructured interviews. The results showed that the mean score of the students using the Web 2.0 style WebQuest was significantly higher than the traditional style WebQuest group on a test measuring the understanding of the WebQuest content. Furthermore, interview results indicated that while students from both groups enjoyed the activity, the responses from the Web 2.0 style group were more positive.
