“Inquiry ... requires more than simply
answering questions or getting a right
answer. It espouses investigation,
exploration, search, quest, research,
pursuit, and study. It is enhanced
by involvement with a community
of learners, each learning from the
other in social interaction.”
(Kuklthau, Maniotes &
Caspari, 2007, p. 2)
