“All men desire to know.” ~ Aristotle
In this spirit, Knowledge and Inquiry (KI) is a subject that focuses on the nature of knowledge and its construction in areas such as the sciences, the social sciences, mathematics and aesthetics. In the course of KI, students will acquire an awareness of the ethical dimensions of knowledge construction, develop critical thinking skills, a capacity for independent learning and the ability to communicate clearly and convincingly.
KI emphasises learner-centredness, negotiated learning and spiral progression. The syllabus hinges on the principle that the learning must meet the needs and abilities of the students and they are given opportunities to confront new information and experiences in the search for meaning. Teachers and students are encouraged to work together to decide the areas of exploration. Finally, the syllabus explores and applies concepts and process skills at increasing levels of difficulty.
H2 Knowledge & Inquiry (KI) must be offered as part of a 4H2 subject combination.
Students would have to pass a selection test and interview to offer H2 KI.
To expose them to a range of perspectives, our students participate in talks held by various institutions, including NUS and NTU. In addition, guest speakers are regularly invited to hold seminars on selected topics.
