Co-construction of Question-led Inquiries

Abstract

The global scenario for education and human discourse is changing rapidly. Recognising these dynamics of change, particularly the ‘wicked’ problems confronting humanity, this paper represents work-in-progress associated with articulating a question-led process for inquiry that has wide application across the gamut of human experience. The elements within it are explored and contextualized into a coherent process. At the same time, important caveats are raised to avoid misrepresenting or overclaiming the value of question-led processes for inquiry. The implications for co-construction and dialogical interaction are considerable.
