Preferred term

cooperative inquiry  

Definition

  • This form of participatory qualitative research arose out of criticisms of traditional research practices in which the researcher is in control of all aspects of the inquiry and the subjects or participants as data sources merely provide information. In cooperative inquiry, the relationship between researchers and subjects/participants is bilateral and they work together as coresearchers and cosubjects designing, managing, and drawing conclusions from the research.
