The Community of Inquiry as a Basis for Knowledge and Learning: The Case of History.

Seixas, Peter

American Educational Research Journal, v30 n2 p305-24 Sum 1993

Using the discipline of history as a case study, the scholarly community of inquiry is compared with the community of inquiry in the classroom. The teacher's role in negotiating knowledge of each is discussed. The more teachers are integrated into the scholarly community, the better they will interpret it. (SLD)
