Webquest x Webexercises: an Analysis of Productions of the Institutional Scholarships Program of Teaching Initiation (PIBID) Trainees Using Bloom Digital Taxonomy

Abstract:

WebQuest is a didactic activity that uses any technological artifact with internet access to solve a task that requires analysis, synthesis, evaluation and judgment, which are higher order cognitive skills. However, recent studies show that most authors fail in exactly this component, because they create easy tasks in exercise sheet format, called WebExercises. The aim of this research was to analyze the tasks of the WebQuests created by two groups of Chemistry's students of the Institutional Program for Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) of a State university of Paraná, using the Bloom Digital Taxonomy as theoretical reference, to identification of the learning cognitive domain levels reached by these tasks. The results indicated that the WQ tasks produced by students did not reach the taxonomic levels of highest thinking ability, hence were classified as WebExercises
