first proposed by John Heron in 1971 and later expanded with
Peter Reason. The major idea of cooperative inquiry is to
“research ‘with’ rather than ‘on’ people.” It emphasizes that
all active participants are fully involved in research decisions
as co-researchers. Cooperative inquiry creates a research cycle
among four different types of knowledge: propositional knowing
(as in contemporary science), practical knowing (the knowledge
that comes with actually doing what you propose), experiential
knowing (the feedback we get in real time about our interaction
with the larger world) and presentational knowing (the artistic
rehearsal process through which we craft new practices). The
research process iterates these four stages at each cycle with
deepening experience and knowledge of the initial proposition,
or of new propositions,
