Education and Information Technologies Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The current research aims to establish several theoretical frameworks and educational implications for a new web-based learning model “SOSE”. Additionally, it also aims to compare and contrast the new model to a well-known web-based learning model, WebQuest, which was developed by Dodge of San Diego State University (1995b). WebQuest is a web-based learning model that is derived from Web 1.0 to help students to learn. However, with today’s advances in internet-based learning and the evolution from Web 2.0 to Web 5.0 applications, which have been widely adopted, new web-based learning models are necessary. Learning in a sheltered online scaffolding environment (SOSE) consists of three main stages: a preparation stage including task exploration and information collection; a data refinement stage including refining data and extracting evidence and findings; and a cooperation and publishment stage including decision-making, final agreement and publishing. The theoretical bases of the suggested model basically rely on six main educational theories and approaches: web-based learning, constructivist theory, scaffolding strategies, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, discovery learning, problem-based learning and active learning.
