ABSTRACT

The framework of inquiry community theory provides a unique perspective, method and tool for online learning and blended learning research. Based on this, this paper first introduces the origin and connotation of inquiry community theory, then reviews the researches under the framework of inquiry community theory at home and abroad in recent years, and divides the researches under the framework into four categories, which are the researches focusing on the framework itself and the three components of the framework, aiming to provide reference for the researches under the framework. It is concluded that since the research under the framework of inquiry community was put forward at the beginning of the 21st century, more and more scholars have paid attention to this field, but there are still some problems such as insufficient research depth and insufficient local verification methods of domestic research.

KEYWORDS
