To explore students’ use of Web 2.0 tools and their perceptions of using Web 2.0 as a personal learning environment (PLE), quantitative surveys (n = 113) and interviews (n = 12) were conducted. In the survey, we identified that students already have familiarity with using Web 2.0 tools, as well as a positive attitude toward using Web 2.0 for learning. However, in the interview, students referenced challenges with using Web 2.0 in their PLE. The results imply that there are gaps between students’ perceived comfort and familiarity with using Web 2.0 tools and their readiness to be an active and successful designer for Web 2.0-based PLEs. This research also identified that there may be other factors influencing students’ building PLEs with Web 2.0 tools including the knowledge of different tools, the abilities of identifying learning objectives and learning styles, access to the tools, motivation, and knowing how to locate the correct information through students’ interviews.

职前教师在Web 2.0上作为个人学习环境的Web 2.0体验和看法

为了探索学生对Web 2.0工具的使用以及他们对使用Web 2.0作为个人学习环境（PLE）的看法，进行了定量调查（n = 113）和访谈（n = 12）。在调查中，我们发现学生已经熟悉使用Web 2.0工具，并对使用Web 2.0进行学习持积极态度。但是，在访谈中，学生提到了在PLE中使用Web 2.0的挑战。结果表明，在学生对使用Web 2.0工具的舒适感和熟悉程度与他们成为积极和成功的基于Web 2.0的PLE的设计师之间存在差距。这项研究还发现，可能还有其他因素会影响学生使用Web 2.0工具构建PLE，包括不同工具的知识，
