Welcome to our Web site!
Last updated: 10 October 2000.
We are a group of educational practitioners and university-based researchers committed to promoting inquiry as a key mode of learning and teaching at all levels in education. As an action research community with shared values and purposes, we aim to foster the collaborative construction of knowledge and the development of understanding about topics that are both individually and socially significant.
Supported initially by a grant from the Spencer Foundation, we have strong ties with OISE/UT (Toronto, Canada) where some of us teach or pursue graduate studies. We cover a wide range of educational interests at all levels - grade 1 to university - and we consider ourselves both teachers and learners. Some of us have been working together for many years, some have joined our community more recently, and we are certainly looking forward to welcoming new members in the future. We meet as a group on a monthly basis to share our inquiries, we collaborate on publications and conference presentations, and we maintain strong connections through our e-mail network.
We have recently received a further grant from the Spencer Foundation, awarded to the DICEP group as a whole, that will enable us to continue our collaborative inquiries.
We invite you to visit with each one of us individually by clicking on our names; we have also attached a list of papers that you might want to read and perhaps share your comments with us through e-mail.
If you live in the Metro Toronto region and would like to find out more about joining DICEP, please contact Zoe Donoahue
