With the ever-growing pervasiveness of the Internet, teachers’ use of Web-based resources is increasing. Although much is now known about undergraduate students’ search behaviors for Web-based resources, little research has focused on search behaviors of pre-service educators. This study examined the Web searching strategies of pre-service teachers when searching for online science resources and examined the factors that influenced resource selection. Pre-service teacher search behaviors were found to be generally inefficient and lacking in complexity. Furthermore, an analysis of the participant selected resources showed that pre-service teachers preferred resources that were highly modifiable, despite the limited availability of such resources online. Suggestions for improving the design and organization of online educational resources and pre-service teacher search skills are discussed.

随着Internet的日益普及，教师对基于Web的资源的使用正在增加。尽管现在对于大学生对基于Web资源的搜索行为了解很多，但是很少有研究集中在职前教育者的搜索行为。本研究研究了职前教师在搜索在线科学资源时的网络搜索策略，并研究了影响资源选择的因素。发现职前教师的搜寻行为通常效率低下并且缺乏复杂性。此外，对参与者选择的资源的分析表明，尽管在线上此类资源的可用性有限，但岗前教师更喜欢高度可修改的资源。
