Theory of Knowledge (TOK) allows students to think critically about what they know. Students explore the role of language, emotion, perception, and reason in the acquisition of knowledge. The relationship between the knower (you) and knowledge and information is explored.
Theory of Knowledge students also explore and reflect upon the six areas of knowledge: History, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Human Sciences, Arts and Esthetics, and Ethics. Students also consider the role of knowledge in several cultures.
Theory of Knowledge also prompts students to be aware of their thinking and recognize the need to act responsibly in an uncertain world.
Theory of Knowledge is assessed through a presentation and a 1600 word essay. Both of these components are internally marked and externally assessed by IB. For more information on Theory of Knowledge visit the IBO website.
