14 Module title: : Introduction to Climate Education There are at least two distinct levels at which a WebQuest can be organized: Short-term WebQuest - aims to acquire and integrate knowledge. At the end of the implementation of such a project in a short period of time, the student accumulates a significant amount of new information and proceeds to understand them in depth. This type lasts for 1-3 hours of the course. Long-term WebQuest - aims to expand and structure knowledge. After completing a long-term WebQuest, the student processes the information accessed in depth, by processing it and transforming it to a certain extent. Finally, the student demonstrates the knowledge of the learned material by creating a product, for which he expects an online or offline reaction from others. This type lasts between a week and a month. Long-term WebQuests follow at least two aspects: what thought process is needed to solve the tasks and what form they will take once they are solved. The stages of elaborating a WebQuest project The elaboration of a WebQuest project (Creating WebQuests) must go through the following steps: introduction, task, information sources, process, evaluation, conclusions (WebQuest). 1. The introduction describes the context of action, the essential information and a motivational support in which the necessary premises are created for the employment and impetus of the students in the learning process. It is often in the form of a scenario, in which it is done: introduction to the topic, motivating readers and the central question. 2. The workload is the essential part of a WebQuest. This provides a purpose and an orientation of the student’s activities, while laying the foundations of the promoter’s curricular intentions. In fact, one of the purposes of the WebQuest technique is for students to complete a task (homework) using the information available on the Internet. There are a number of tasks that can be successfully completed using a WebQuest. The task formally describes what students need to accumulate at the end of the WebQuest and consists of: • solving a problem or a mystery; • formulating and arguing a position; • designing and creating a product; • analysis of the complexity of an aspect of reality; • reflection on the person; • creating summaries, summaries; • creating persuasive messages or advertisements, journalistic products; • creative activity; • any activity whose solution involves the processing and transformation of information accumulated by students.
