“…This research theme was investigated at the ITD by starting from a critical analysis of current pedagogical practices on web use. Then a proposal for teacher training on the pedagogical use of the web was formulated and validated in various courses (Ferraris & Caviglia, 2006). The main idea behind such work was the consideration of the double role played by technology: on one hand it is the context where factors and skills that influence the effectiveness of the information problem solving process can be explored, and on the other hand, it is the learning environment itself which stimulates and develops such competencies.…”

Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the field of educational technology is characterized by approaches, models and methodologies that derive from a number of different disciplines. Consequently, to understand how the different approaches have been concretely applied to the design, practical implementation and analysis of learning environments integrating technology, it is necessary to refer to some overarching notions through which it is possible to link theoretical reflections and the pedagogical and technical considerations that one has to face when designing or analysing learning environments integrating technology. In this paper two notions will be considered in particular: that of perspectives and that of the didactical functionalities of an ICT-based tool. The idea is to use these two notions as conceptual complementary lenses: the notion of perspectives can help to better connect the educational technology field with related areas and concepts; the notion of didactical functionalities, in the framework of each perspective, can help to highlight relevant issues and research questions. The aim is to sketch a framework to support the understanding of research studies in the field of educational technology at the school level and, in particular, to situate, as examples, specific projects carried out at the Institute for Educational Technology (ITD) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR).

“…A model of the online information problem solving process, and of the skills involved, was then outlined. Such a model was designed by examining sessions of web use by different subjects engaged in the solution of a common information problem (Ferraris & Caviglia, 2008).…”

This empirical study consists in an investigation of the effects, on the development of Information Problem Solving (IPS) skills, of a long-term embedded, structured and supported instruction in Secondary Education. Forty secondary students of 7 th and 8 th grades (13 to 15 years old) participated in the two-year IPS instruction designed in this study. Twenty of them participated in the IPS instruction, and the remaining twenty were the control group. All the students were pre-and post-tested in their regular classrooms, and their IPS process and performance were logged by means of screen capture software, to warrant their ecological validity. The IPS constituent skills, the web search sub-skills and the answers given by each participant were analyzed. The main findings of our study suggested that experimental students showed a more expert pattern than the control students regarding the constituent skill 'defining the problem' and the following two web search sub-skills: 'search terms' typed in a search engine, and 'selected results' from a SERP. In addition, scores of task performance were statistically better in experimental students than in control group students. The paper contributes to the discussion of how well-designed and well-embedded scaffolds could be designed in instructional programs in order to guarantee the development and efficiency of the students' IPS skills by using net information better and participating fully in the global knowledge society.
