Students On The Web
A project by students at Aalborg
University - Master in ICT and Learning
Semester:
2. term
Year:
2005
This is one of the projects for the Master in ICT and learning.
The Online Master Programme in ICT and Learning is a web based 2-year part-time
education
that is offered by Aalborg University
in cooperation with Aarhus
University, Copenhagen Business School, The
Danish University of Education, and
Roskilde University, in order
to develop new learning forms to master all degrees of
“the learning society” and life-long education.
The
Project
The research involves
students from three different
years in a Danish primary school.
Students solving problems by searching the web are
observed in order to obtain an insight in their conceptions of the web and of
Google. The data are analysed and some conclusions are reached in three fields:
reading ability, conceptions of the Wide World Web and ability
to perform full text search on the web. From the evidence offered it appears
that qualified teaching in full text search and
alternative reading methods is needed and that this teaching must be introduced
in years 3-5.
The
project report (111 p.) was available in Danish only through the Digital Project Library.
The authors are Lisbet Kühn and Gitte Søgaard.
