TOK
The Theory of Knowledge invites the curiosity of students to examine the distinct forms that knowledge takes, the process through which it has been disseminated and produced, the people involved in these processes and their roles, as well as the students own shifting relationship to knowledge. Students will also understand and examine the significant role knowledge plays in shaping narratives and decisions that affect individuals and groups. Theory of knowledge equips students with the critical thinking tools to be able to deconstruct claims, assumptions, ideas, and belief systems in all areas of Knowledge such as ,but not limited to, Natural Sciences, Human Sciences, History, Religion, Politics and Arts. The Theory of Knowledge is a course mainly developed using Western Paradigm and Perspectives. So our TOK instructor complements the students’ journey and quest about knowledge , its nature and its tools through the infusion of Islamic Philosophy of Knowledge and paradigm to create a balanced approach to the concept of knowledge.
