Conceptual Learning
The PYP encourages students to use the eight key concepts:
Form: What is it like?
Function: How does it work?
Change: How is it changing?
Causation: Why is it like this?
Connection: How is it connected to other things?
Perspective: What are the points-of-view?
Responsibility: What is our responsibility?
By focusing on these key concepts and other related concepts (such as citizenship, culture, adaptation) students develop higher order thinking skills and better questioning techniques.
