Abstract

This paper describes the adoption of WebQuest project in IT integration course in Faculty of Education, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Teachers' beliefs indicate their willingness to adopt this new teaching behaviour and are regarded as significant factors to the implementation of the innovation. The aim of the study is to identify what beliefs a sample of student teachers holds about WebQuest. Findings show that student teachers have positive beliefs on WebQuest in teaching and learning. However, they consider that the process of designing and constructing a WebQuest is time-consuming and that heavy teaching workload discourages the use of WebQuest in the classroom.
