Self-knowledge Tasks

  • Use this when the goal of the WebQuest is greater understanding of oneself

 

Tips

A well crafted self-knowledge task will compel the learner to answer questions about themselves that have no short answers. Such tasks could be developed around:

  • long term goals;
  • ethical and moral issues;
  • self-improvement;
  • art appreciation;
  • personal responses to literature.

 

Examples

  • One excellent example is provided by What Will I Be When I Get Big? which walks students through a progression of web-based resources as they analyze their goals and strengths and develop a career plan.
  • In Career Carnival learners go through similar self-analysis before researching and preparing for a career day.
