WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF TOK?

Theory of knowledge is the ‘flagship course’ of the Diploma not only because it is unique, but also because it draws together all the knowledge that is learned in other courses, and questions the validity of what we think we know. Amongst other things, it seeks to do the following:
  • To help students to discover the richness of knowledge, and to realize how empowering knowledge can be.
  • To examine how knowledge is built up, examined, and evaluated by individuals and societies.
  • To reflect on how we learn – both inside and outside school – and to make links between the academic disciplines and our thoughts, feelings and actions.
  • To reinforce the idea that there are many different ways of thinking and perspectives, and assumptions we have because of our cultural and individual positions may obscure the way we see the world.
  • To suggest some of the responsibilities that may come with knowledge.
But how does TOK propose to do all these high-minded things? That can be figured out from the structure of the course, and its part in the IB diploma programme. TOK doesn’t have a clear curriculum like other subjects. The reason for that is simple: there is no checklist of things you have to know for the end of course exam, because there is no end of course exam. Instead, you’ll write a wide-ranging essay, and design a presentation, that both draw on ideas that you’ve built up during the two years of the course.

ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES
It is expected that by the end of the TOK course, students will be able to:
  • identify and analyse the various kinds of justifications used to support knowledge claims ​
  • formulate, evaluate and attempt to answer knowledge questions
  • examine how academic disciplines/areas of knowledge generate and shape knowledge
  • understand the roles played by ways of knowing in the construction of shared and personal knowledge
  • explore links between knowledge claims, knowledge questions, ways of knowing and areas of knowledge
  • demonstrate an awareness and understanding of different perspectives and be able to relate these to one’s own perspective
  • explore a real-life situation from a TOK perspective in the presentation.
