- Nowadays strategies to research the World Wide Web have to be developed because the Internet, which provides a huge amount of unstructured documents, has become one of the most important resources for the 21st century. In order to be able to recommend ways to improve an Internet platform called “education highway” various retrieval strategies of teachers and students, and how these strategies are influenced by search tools, are investigated. Two different approaches were taken. An electronic questionnaire was sent to both, all types of high schools and to secondary modern school to discover what teachers expect from an electronic educational platform provided at the Internet. In a second investigation ten students and ten teachers were watched while they were answering eight questions using search engines, graphical search engines and directories. During the process retrieval strategies in conjunction with different search tools were identified. The outcomes were used to formulate advices to improve search tools offered by the education highway. The study concludes that most students and teachers know how to handle a search engine, whereas they do not often use directories. However, some were able to find the answers faster in a directory than in a search engine. Particularly students and teachers who are technical oriented are good at using the graphical search engine whereas people without technological knowledge have problems to operating this type of search engine. The expectations of teachers as well as the retrieval strategies were closely examined and recommendations were made for the electronic platform “education highway”.
