Cooperative inquiry

Cooperative inquiry is like playing a game with your friends where you all have different things to see and do, but you agree to work together to discover something new.

Imagine you and your friends are on a treasure hunt, and each of you has different clues that can help you find where the treasure is hidden. You could all run off on your own and try to solve the clues individually, but chances are you won’t find the treasure very quickly.

That’s where cooperative inquiry comes in. Instead of running off on your own, you all agree to work together to share your clues and brainstorm ideas about where the treasure could be. By working together, you have a better chance of finding the treasure faster, and it’s more fun because you’re sharing the adventure with your friends.

Cooperative inquiry is like that. Instead of playing a game or hunting for treasure, you and a group of people agree to work together to learn something new about a particular topic. Each person in the group has their own ideas and experiences that they can share, and by working together, everyone can learn more than they would have on their own. It’s a great way to learn and discover new things while enjoying the company of others.
