Project-based learning encourages meaningful learning through student-directed activity by formulating questions for investigation, designing proposals, collecting and analyzing data, and creating products of their understanding. However, teachers and instructors discover that the products are quite often alike due to students’ tendency of viewing the information retrieved as “answers” to questions. In other words, students are engaged in information-seeking activities instead of evidence-based activities, which was the essential purpose of an Internet-infused learning environment. Our goal is to describe realistically what high school students in Taiwan do with the “data” and “information” and what difficulties do they have in their first encounters with primary data. Possible causes of these difficulties are addressed.
