<p>My school doesn't have an ib program, but I've done some research on it. One of the classes that I found interesting was the theory of knowledge class. If any of you are in that class, can you tell me a little bit about it, or pm me some links or resources?</p>
<p>im a junior in TOK this year. so far we have basically learned about different ways of knowing and the areas of knowledge. I have struggled in that class a lot becasue i am a concrete thinker and it is very open ended and helps me think out of the box which isnt something i always do so the class has been helpful in that way! we also look at a bunch of knowledge issues which i like. theyre basically just things that are controversial around the country or world! i hope that helped some</p>
<p>I’m a senior and I’ve completed the TOK course. Its purpose is to teach students how to handle types of knowledge. The most important concepts, I believe, are the emphasis on being critical to knowledge and respecting different ways of knowing (ie. religion, art, mathemetics, human sciences). I enjoyed the course a lot.</p>
<p>Buy “Theory of Knowledge” by Nicholas Alchin. It’s the textbook that my TOK teacher used- she only has 1 copy, so she would photocopy packets out of it. Even though it’s technically a textbook, it is absolutely fantastic, entertaining, and even mind-opening to read. Every single chapter in it will probably blow your mind.</p>
