Sorry, there isn’t any here, but here is a few picking from a review of webquest literature
Allan and steel, the quest for deeper learning. 2007 BJET
This is a close look at the knowledge pooling activity what takes place as one of the standard parts of webquests.
Introduction – pooling – roles – task – where to look – getting together – share and review
Yes webquests are said to be the constructivist nivarna, but they could equally promote surface learning and knowledge reproduction. To stop this, try a what do you know section at the beginning, to get the learners to pool and plan the activity, and can act as a bench mark to the learning.
Conclusions
There is evidence of synthesis and higher order thinking in the results. But it’s a fine line, careful thought is needed
Webquests can they improve critical thinking – 2002 Kimberly et al computers in schools
Compare webquests with weinstein’s 2002 critical thinking framework
Conclusion
Yes it can but design is important
