THE CHALLENGE PHASE OF A WEBQUEST

The task focuses learners on what they are going to do - specifically, the culminating performance or product that drives all of the learning activities. Here we need to describe succinctly and clearly what the end result of the learners' activities will be.


 Does the activity get students’ Attention? Is it Relevant to their needs, interests, or motives? Does the task inspire learners’ Confidence in achieving success? Finally, would completing the activity leave students with a sense of Satisfaction in their accomplishment? The best way to address attention and relevance is to choose a topic that students find compelling and then create an authentic learning task related to it. 

I have learnt that the challenge phase is very vital and should be thought of carefully, for if it is missed then the learners might miss the essence of the topic.

 When I look at my Introduction and challenge phase yes, I have made a step but still I have to do more to catch my learners attention.

So teachers of the 21st we need to plan tasks that drives the learners to think critically and be able to come up with final products that will reflect authentic learning.
