Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss collaborative interactions in inquiry learning. We begin by first defining three aspects of collaborative inquiry learning: it is (1) problem- and goal-driven, (2) characterized by social processes and interaction that support meaning-making, and (3) scaffolded by cultural and material resources. We then highlight challenges that instructors may face when trying to support collaborative inquiry. To address these challenges, we provide some recommendations for regulating group processes and co-construction of knowledge across different disciplines. Finally, we provide some exemplars of collaborative inquiry learning, ranging from Group Investigation, Problem-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, Knowledge Building, and Knowledge Community and Inquiry. Ultimately, we argue that collaborative inquiry skills are essential for both learning and engagement.
