*Units of Study are used to cover the IB TOK standards, available on Managebac and by request. It is very unlikely that every unit will be covered.

Following completion of the final assessments, students will not be required to come to TOK, and will use that time to study for the IB exams.

UNITS of STUDY


I. Review of TOK

Review of the TOK Course, Essay, and Presentation

Brief explanations of the 8 Ways of Knowing: Sense Perception,

Memory, Reason, Language, Emotion, Faith, Imagination, and

Intuition.

Brief explanation of the 8 Areas of Knowledge: the Arts, Ethics,

History, Human Sciences, Natural Sciences, Mathematics,

Indigenous Knowledge, Religious Knowledge

Personal Knowledge

II. The Human Sciences AOK Depth Study

Studying Human Beings: challenges and appropriate methods

Cultural Anthropology

Psychology

Economics

III. Language WOK Depth Study

What is language?

Is Language a uniquely human tool?

Is language shared or personal knowledge?

Grade: 12 Year Plan: IB Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Year 2

p2

Do things exist outside of language, or does language create

things (linguistic determinism)

IV. History AOK Depth Study What is History: the study of the recorded past, helps make

sense of the present, knowledge shared by group to help

produce a sense of common heritage, preparing for the future.

How do we learn History: narrative style appropriate for the

purpose of understanding the past, designed for understanding

possibly at an emotional level rather than strict objective

disinterest, use of contemporary documents as fixed points of

historical theory, historical theory being constructed out of the

available evidence by reason and imagination.

Problems with History: issues of selection and interpretation of

source material, issues of reliability of first-hand accounts—

memory and observation are affected by interests and

expectation, traditional history (human action/intentional) vs.

big history, demographics and geography, and post-modernism.

VI. The Arts AOK Depth Study

What are “the arts?”

Critical Judgment, Informed Opinions, and Emotion /

Objectivity vs. Subjectivity

Development and Tradition

Ethics in Art and Propaganda

VII. Final Assessments
