Collaborative Inquiry in Practice: Action, Reflection, and Making Meaning

by John N. Bray, Linda L. Smith

Collaborative Inquiry in Practice is an invitation and guide for people interested in pursuing a more imaginative and holistic approach to human inquiry. The reader is guided step-by-step through the theory and practice of collaborative inquiry: the key ideas from pragmatism and phenomenological traditions; the relationship of collaborative inquiry with other action-oriented methods of inquiry; the conduct of collaborative inquiry, from forming a group to constructing knowledge

The authors demonstrate how effective collaborative inquiry demystifies research and makes learning more accessible. The guidance provided is equally relevant to professional and academic settings.
