Paper Abstract:
|
Online inquiry learning is popular nowadays. Since students can reach a lot of information through internet too easily, many of them unconsciously put very few efforts to analyze and integrate information which they navigate on the web. Thus learning through the web inquiry often causes problems of lacking efficiency and learning effects. Some scholars propose that metacognition is important during the process of online inquiry learning, because the ability of metacognition is helpful to analysis, integration and application of information. This study developed an Online Inquiry Metacognition Scaffolding (OIMS) module to scaffold learners metacognitive process while they are working on online inquiry learning projects. In order to evaluate the scaffolding quality and ease of use, the usability evaluation was administrated in this research. |
