It is said that a network becomes aninteractive educational community when knowledge networks begin to define specific goals andvisions are shared by its members in face to face and virtual spaces (learning environment).When (a) discussion topics are about their experiences and have a consistent and concerted way,(b) work is managed and promoted to enable innovation, and (c) project development is focusedon a specific topic responding to didactic and pedagogical needs, it is said that the networkbecomes an interactive educational community.

And because inquiry instruction calls uponteachers to adopt the view that “the class is the arena for…exploration of students’ participation,knowledge, and reason” (Hammer, 2005; p. 503), it fosters an educational environment in whichstudent reasoning can be laid bare through debate, discussion, and collective exploration.Creating such a learning community within the classroom is important, because as Beatty et al(2006) have observed, “Telling students what to think is notoriously ineffective; eliciting theirthinking, confronting it with alternatives, and seeking resolution works better.”The focus of this paper will lean more toward the inquiry instruction
