  3. Communities of Inquiry Community of Inquiry theory understands knowledge as communally constructed and emergent, proceeding through the interaction of critical and creative thinking Kennedy, 1996

  4. American Pragmatism • William James (1675-1749) • Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) • John Dewey (1859-1952) • Jane Adams (1860-1935)

  5. American Pragmatism andTheory of Inquiry They all believed that ideas are not “out there” waiting to be discovered, but are tools - like forks and knives and microchips - that people devise to cope with the world in which they find themselves. They believed that the ideas are not produced by the individuals - that ideas are social. Louis Menand, 2001

  6. The Cycle of Inquiry

  7. Communities of Inquiry A group (a social setting) of individuals who use dialogue (interaction among participants) to search out the problematic borders of a puzzling concept (inquiry as philosophical) Turgeon, 1998

  8. Community Inquiry Labs A place where members of a community come together to develop shared capacity and work on common problems. "Community" = support for collaborative activity and for creating knowledge that is connected to people's values, history, and lived experiences. "Inquiry" = support for open-ended, democratic, participatory engagement. "Laboratory" = a space and resources to bring theory and action together in an experimental and critical manner. A CIL is most importantly a concept…

  9. Community Inquiry Labs • Web-based suite of Open Source software tools to support collaboration and communication (e.g., bulletin board, document uploading, calendar, inquiry units) • People create CILs (websites) on their own, to support their activities within and among groups • Inquiry units = lesson plans, action plans, meeting minutes, research reports, journals, policy statements, etc.

  16. Welcoming Attitude Toward Change: Active Participation Every individual must be consulted in such a way, actively not passively, that he himself becomes a part of the process of authority. Dewey, Democracy & Education

  17. Welcoming Attitude Toward Change: Active Participation Using inquiry and the internet in LIS 391: Inquiry Units for student research http://www.inquiry.uiuc.edu/bin/unit_search.cgi?command=search&search=liasp3 CILs for group communication, collaboration, content management http://www.inquiry.uiuc.edu/cil/

  18. CI Track: Perceptions of Students “Learning is not linear; the inquiry cycle allows me to perfect my work, and allow others to input.” “I think the inquiry cycle is in general the learning cycle for me.To have the structure lets you feel through the part of the process you are currently in, and enable the focus of attention to the part of the cycle.”

  19. CI Track: Perceptions of Students “…In addition, the CIL allows for distant people to come together around the shared interest of a topic.Also, the CIL encourages the involvement by allowing for different interpretation of the information and its evolution by the members of the CIL.”
