Co-operative Inquiry

Back to Glossary

What this means…

Co-operative Inquiry is a way of doing research that changes people as they do it and doesn’t just inform them.

It is a form of cutting edge research that involves participants in the design and experience of the research.

A Co-operative Inquiry will usually follow six to eight cycles of research before the inquiry members begin to distil their conclusions and decide whether to express their findings in permanent form.
