Περιέχει το πλήρες κείμενο ; In Project-based learning, students perform learning process by preparing a project in a chosen subject. The basic steps in this process are; determining the target question, determining the main aims of the study, forming the teams, determining the properties and presentation type of the result report, forming the working agenda, determining the control points and evaluation criteria. According to the working agenda, team collect data, organize them and prepare a presentation report. In the study; the students attend the 5th class of Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education , Department of Chemistry Education and were requested to prepare related with a chosen subject in the science education curriculum as well as evaluate the knowledge and data that they collected online. Students prepared 12 projects in groups of 3. After the Project presentation completed, the advantages of online data collection was discussed. After this, in the evaluation stage, an "Online Searching Questionnaire in Project-Based Learning" was used. The questionnaire consists of questions such as: Did you use search engine tools when you were searching the Internet about Project-based learning? Did you use scientific databases when you searched on the internet?; Did you use the government websites? Did you use personal web-sites, when you ….?After the evaluations, it was observed that computer-assisted applications in the Project-based learning model made students fully prepare for high level projects. The project achievement points of the students were above 90%.

Purpose. Computer use, Internet access, and online searching for health information were assessed toward enhancing Internet use for health promotion. Design. Cross-sectional random digit dial landline phone survey. Setting. Eight zip codes that comprised Central Harlem/Hamilton Heights and East Harlem in New York City. Subjects. Adults 18 years and older (N = 646). Measures. Demographic characteristics, computer use, Internet access, and online searching for health information. Analysis. Frequencies for categorical variables and means and standard deviations for continuous variables were calculated and compared with analogous findings reported in national surveys from similar time periods. Results. Among Harlem adults, ever computer use and current Internet use were 77% and 52%, respectively. High-speed home Internet connections were somewhat lower for Harlem adults than for U.S. adults overall (43% vs. 68%). Current Internet users in Harlem were more likely to be younger, white vs. black or Hispanic, better educated, and in better self-reported health than non-current users (p < .01). Of those who reported searching online for health information, 74% sought information on medical problems and thought that information found on the Internet affected the way they eat (47%) or exercise (44%). Conclusions. Many Harlem adults currently use the Internet to search for health information. High-speed connections and culturally relevant materials may facilitate health information searching for underserved groups. (Am J Health Promot 2011;25[5]:325-333.)
