ResumoThis paper presents Matthew Lipman's critique of traditional pedagogy as seen in his work Thinking in Education (2003).Lipman points out that traditional pedagogy does not foster reflective thinking.This paper also discusses the historical development of the practice of community of inquiry in the Philippines from the time it was introduced by Zosimo Lee in 1996 to Manila Public Schools, and in 2012 to the teachers of Ayala Foundation, Inc. Teacher Training Institute.This article claims that Lipman's critique of traditional pedagogy mirrors the situation of Philippine classrooms.The author further argues that it is for this reason that the practice of community of inquiry still cannot be fully implemented in the country.
