Book Review: Strategies for Classroom Inquiry

Abstract

Introduction- This is a publication which first and foremost marries historical context, relevant educational theory and practice, with a sensitive understanding of how thinking can be developed within its appropriate cultural milieux today. Intelligent reading by Wilks of the difficulties which face emergent teacher candidates highlight the starting point for those of us who are convinced of the value of all forms of verbal interaction but know the pitfalls of potential conflict in the classroom, in the staffroom, in the community at large. It is necessary to learn to be a participant in a Community of Enquiry.
