Theory of Knowledge The Essentials ISBN: 9781921917080

Michael Woolman Author and experienced TOK teacher and teacher trainer, Michael Woolman presents a practical understanding of the IB Theory of Knowledge Programme. Designed and written for students unfamiliar with TOK, Michael examines basic Theory of Knowledge concepts and their relationships and presents them simply and precisely. He links the understanding of the concepts, not only with the material in the IB TOK Curriculum Guide, but also with the relationships between the concepts implicit, but not always clearly stated, in the prescribed examinations titles. The key concept of Knowledge Issues and its role, underscored in the subject Examiner’s Annual report, in the IB Theory of Knowledge programme and assessment, is thoroughly explained. The IB TOK Curriculum Guide poses many questions. With this clear and direct text students and their teachers can feel confident they can find the answers to the questions in the Guide. They can also approach the end of course assessment, both the Essay and the Presentation, with confidence. This short but powerful book is essential reading for all Diploma Students.
