These sites arenot widely known among average surfers, even though the information available is 400 to 550times larger than the information on the “surface” 4. In addition, 7.3 million pages are addedevery day to the total Web.Subject Gateways: Evolution and AdaptationThe first generations of subject gateways were an evolutionary or adaptive response to what wasperceived in the mid 1990’s as the growing dysfunction or anarchy of the Web. One commentatorwriting at the time termed the Web a “chaotic repository for the collective output of the world’sdigital printing presses

how the system outcome data are collected and analyzed. Section 5 providesconcluding remarks.2. Overview of classroom teaching and learningThe most common learning environment in schools is the scenario of one instructor/teacher (T)and many students (S) in classroom. The teacher teaches in a predominantly one-waycommunication fashion and, due to time and spatial constraints of the classroom, students learnpassively. Although this may be a most economic way of education in a large educationalsystem, it is not short of problems - lack of motivation, apathy, disinterest, inattention, andfrustration abound in both teacher and students. Many teachers blame the students and manystudents feel that they have learned nothing at all and fall ‘through

This method excludesimportant factors that are part of situated learning—i.e., learning in real classrooms—where students define their own conditions of learning, set personal goals, and applylearning strategies on an individual basis. A contribution of the research here is that itcommunicates a sense of how student s use software implemented in a real course.

Itappears that TCCU established a pattern to prepare industrial arts/industrial education teachereducators, supervisors, and leaders with technical skills and knowledge in selected industrial areas aswoodworking, metalworking, mechanical drafting, and printing. During the early years of thetwentieth century scholars in these technical areas pursued their graduate degrees other programsareas since industrial education specialization was not available at that time [8]. In the late 1920's, thefirst acknowledged dissertation regarding industrial arts was produced.
