Journal/Book: Manage Learning. 1999; 30: 2455 Teller Rd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA. Sage Publications Inc. 207-226.

Abstract: Co-operative inquiry is a radically participative form of inquiry in which all those involved are both co-researchers and co-subjects. The methodology of co-operative inquiry is set out in a 'Layperson's Guide' which might be used to introduce the method to a new group. This is followed by a reflection on the learning process of an inquiry group, particularly the process of research cycling, the importance of the peer group, and the paradoxical self-reflexive quality of attention. Finally, co-operative inquiry is compared with other action approaches.
