Burning Questions
At what age are students able to successfully and effectively use Collaborative Inquiry? At what age should students be taught collaborative inquiry?
Is there an assessment to inquire about whether or not a collaborative inquiry is needed?
When should it be decided that the initial inquiry is inconclusive (or not enough) and further outside inquiry is needed?
Are there times when Inquiry would be more effective without collaboration?

Ill Structured Problems
Possessed multiple criteria for evaluating solutions, so there is uncertainty about which concepts, rules, and principles are necessary for the solutions and how they are organized.
Possess multiple solutions, solution paths, or no solutions at all.
Possesses problem elements that are unknown or not known with any degree of confidence
Well-Structured Problems
Have knowable, comprehensible solutions where the relationship between decision choices an all problems states is known or probabilistic.
Require the application of a limited number of regulard and well-structured rules and principles that are organized in predictive and prescriptive ways.
Present all elements of the problem to the learners.
