Communities of Enquiry

Key outcomes Future plans

Features of this style of working

Focus on logical and critical thinking; participants enquire, build hypotheses, consider consequences etc

Dialogue and thinking should be rigorous and disciplined using criteria and thus self-correction

The creation of the community links to the Freirean notion of participatory democracy

The demand and need for the activity

The success of the pedagogic model

The fusion of theory and practice

Key outcomes

Students particularly valued – the quality of the experience and the range of discussionTutors particularly valued – the use of reflective methodologies
