Theory of Knowledge
| TOK |
051 IB THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (Grades 11-12) Theory of Knowledge is required for IB diploma candidates. The core questions probed throughout the course are, “What do I (we) know? and “How do I (we) know?” The course begins with an examination of belief and knowledge. Perception, emotion, language, and reason are taught as Ways of Knowing (I.B. terminology). The course then focuses on the following Areas of Knowledge (I.B. terminology): mathematics, science, natural sciences, history, art and ethics. The purpose of TOK in the IB program is to provide students an opportunity to reflect upon their own learning and knowledge rather than to receive formal, academic instruction in classical epistemology. Prerequisite: IB Diploma candidate or teacher recommendation |
