本研究旨在探讨教师对互联网环境的认识论信念、网络搜索策略和搜索结果之间的关联。本研究样本包括台湾63所1至9年级学校的105名教师。结果表明，与具有较不先进信念的教师相比，对于互联网环境具有更先进认识论信念的教师可以利用更复杂的网络搜索策略（即更少的不相关信息选择）来过滤和组织信息。此外，认识论信仰的复杂性与开放式问题的搜索结果呈正相关。因此，有关互联网环境的认识论信念在网络学习中发挥着重要作用。
This study aimed to explore the correlates among teachers' epistemological beliefs concerning Internet environments, their web search strategies and search outcomes. The sample of this study included 105 teachers from 63 grades 1 to 9 schools in Taiwan. The results show that the teachers with more advanced epistemological beliefs concerning Internet environments could utilize more sophisticated web search strategies (i.e. less irrelevant information-selecting) to filter and organize the information than those with less advanced beliefs. Also, the sophistication of epistemological beliefs was positively correlated to the search outcomes for open-ended questions. Hence, epistemological beliefs concerning Internet environments play an important role in web-based learning.
