The Community of Inquiry Framework Applied in the 3D Virtual Language Learning Environments: A Narrative Review

Abstract

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, developed by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2000), has been used to define the core elements of a collaborative constructivist learning environment needed to build and maintain a purposeful learning community, in online and blended learning contexts. Several researchers have used, analyzed and studied the CoI framework extensively in many ways since it was developed. Virtual worlds, immersive 3D online environments, have attracted significant interest by researchers in a variety of fields. Researchers in the field of language education have also benefitted and utilized VWs due to their pedagogical opportunities, potential to foster collaborative constructivist learning, so on. This study presents the current status and trend of application of CoI framework in three-dimensional virtual language learning environments (3D VLLEs). In this study, a systematic analysis of studies related to CoI framework applied in 3D VLLEs was carried out. In this context, a search was conducted in ten electronic databases and yielded limited number of studies: three research articles and one thesis. The studies were analyzed by inductive content analysis and the findings were presented descriptively. In addition, potential research suggestions for researchers were provided based on existing studies.
