Thinking Collaboratively: Learning in a Community of Inquiry
Description :
Thinking Collaboratively is a theoretical and practical guide to
thinking and learning in deep and meaningful ways within purposeful
communities of inquiry. Critical thinking has long been recognized as
an important educational goal but, until now, has largely been

conceived and operationalized as an individual attitude and ability.
Increasingly, however, a more relevant and complete cognitive
construct has been emerging: thinking collaboratively. Thinking
collaboratively is the means to inquire, test, and apply new
understandings, and to make sense of the information that
bombards us continuously. In short, thinking collaboratively is
required to flourish in our highly connected world and, in this book
based on more than a decade of research, Garrison provides an
essential introduction to this vital concept.
