Abstract: The use of computers and the Internet by students has increased rapidly in recent years. Teachers ask what types of learning experiences can be facilitated by using the Internet in their classroom. This study investigates the use of the World Wide Web (WWW) as a research tool in promoting self-directed learning in a group of 7th grade students. Performance and attitude questionnaires are used to determine the effectiveness of the WWW in assisting the students with the construction of knowledge on ozone and ascertain positive/negative effects on their learning, including motivation for independent learning.
