!IB Core Components:Creativity, Action, Service!Extended Essay!Theory of Knowledge
The Extended Essay!The extended essay is an independent, self-directed piece of research, culminating in a4,000-word paper. As a required component, it provides:!!practical preparation for the kinds of undergraduate research required at tertiary level!an opportunity for students to engage in an in-depth study of a topic of interest within achosen subject.!!Emphasis is placed on the research process:!!formulating an appropriate research question!engaging in a personal exploration of the topic!communicating ideas!developing an argument.!!Participation in this process develops the capacity to:!!!analyse!synthesize, and!evaluate knowledge.!Students are supported throughout the process with advice and guidance from asupervisor (usually a teacher at the school).
Theory of KnowledgeThe theory of knowledge (TOK) requirement is central to the educational philosophy of the Diploma Programme.!!It offers students and their teachers the opportunity to:!!reflect critically on diverse ways of knowing and on areas of knowledge!consider the role and nature of knowledge in their own culture, in the cultures of others and in the wider world.!!In addition, it prompts students to:!!be aware of themselves as thinkers, encouraging them to become more acquainted with the complexity ofknowledge recognize the need to act responsibly in an increasingly interconnected but uncertain world.!!As a thoughtful and purposeful inquiry into different ways of knowing, and into different kinds of knowledge, TOKis composed almost entirely of questions. The most central of these is "How do we know?"!!It is a stated aim of TOK that students should become aware of the interpretative nature of knowledge, includingpersonal ideological biases, regardless of whether, ultimately, these biases are retained, revised or rejected.!!TOK also has an important role to play in providing coherence for the student as it transcends and links academicsubject areas, thus demonstrating the ways in which they can apply their knowledge with greater awareness andcredibility.
