Theoretical Foundations and Epistemological Insights of the Community of Inquiry

Abstract

This chapter discusses the epistemological assumptions and theoretical foundations of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. Specifically, it addresses the central concepts of community, collaboration, constructivism, inquiry, discourse, metacognition, co-regulation, and motivation. The primary goal is to reinforce the CoI’s theoretical coherence and enhance its practical utility in providing direction to the study and practice of e-learning in a range of education contexts.
