Theory of Knowledge in DP
Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is part of the core of the IB Diploma Programme. At DISK, the TOK course begins at the beginning of Grade 11.
TOK is centered around the question “How do we know?” Students are taught to examine knowledge through critical thinking and analysis of the Ways of Knowing in the unique Areas of Knowledge. By the end of the course, students should be proficient in formulating arguments and analyzing knowledge claims. The central features of the TOK course are critical analysis questions called Knowledge Questions.
The final TOK grade is determined out of 60 points, converted to an A-E grade. The 60 points are composed of a 40 point final essay (graded externally), and a 20 point oral presentation (graded internally).
