Core Concepts of Collaborative Inquiry

3) Choose one possible solution, and try it!

This step may need to be repeated several times and more solutions (step 2) may need to be generated and tried before the ideal solution is found.

**Remember, each proposed solution is just a solution prototype and only time will tell if the solution is right for the problem.

Repeat this step until you have found the best solution for your problem.

Try a solution

4) Reflect on the results and ask, "How can we make it better?" (Metacognition)

Is a new solution needed or can we make adjustments to this solution to make it fit?

Collect and classify any data collected and reflect on the usefulness of this information.

Does everyone on the inquiry team agree that the solution has been reached? (Consensus)

What is missing?

How could we do even better in solving the problem?

Did this solution generate the desired results?

5) Examine what is happening now

Celebrate your successes and identify the next problem to solve.

Does everyone on inquiry team agree that solution is effective?

Is everyone satisfied with the results?

What needs to be done to maintain results?

Is this solution working?

Have we chosen the best solution?

2) Generate possible solutions

Research/conduct surveys/gather information necessary for carrying out these solutions

Be Creative

There is no wrong solution, just better or more effective

Use domain knowledge

**Does your team possess enough collective domain knowledge?

If not, you will need to: Consult experts, research, carry out surveys, etc. in order to gain more domain knowledge to apply to your inquiry process.

All members contribute in brainstorm (collaboration)

Judge the usefulness of solution

Listen

Share

Draw on past experience

1) Identify a problem

**ARE YOU ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT PROBLEM AT ALL?

If the Problem is not clear, the solution will be more difficult to come by and will have to be investigated as solutions are proposed.

Does everyone see the problem as being the same?
