=TOK Home Page= Welcome to TOK, the Theory of Knowledge.

At the end of the course, we Riverstone TOK teachers hope we will have achieved these goals together - that you will be able to: think more clearly, argue more effectively, identify and explain what you think and why you think it, feel more secure, but much less arrogant or defensive about your opinions, understand better and enjoy more the opinions of others, be more aware and intrigued, but less unnerved by the "not yet known" and "the unknowable" things in life.

The IB TOK Guide expresses the TOK objectives this way: "Having followed the TOK course students should be able to: IBO Diploma Programme Theory of Knowledge Guide 2006

 * 2) generate questions, explanations, conjectures, hypotheses, alternative ideas and possible solutions in response to knowledge issues concerning areas of knowledge (math, natural sciences, human sciences, history, literature, music, art, and ethics), ways of knowing (sense perception, language, reason and emotion) and students’ own experience as learners
 * 3) demonstrate an understanding of different perspectives on knowledge issues
 * 4) draw links and make effective comparisons between different approaches to knowledge issues that derive from areas of knowledge, ways of knowing, theoretical positions and cultural values

 * 6) formulate and communicate ideas clearly with due regard for accuracy and academic honesty"
