This month saw the G11 (Year 1 DP) students share with the ISA Science City community, the work they have been developing for the Theory of Knowledge Exhibition. Students were tasked with choosing a prompt, three real world objects, and then exploring the knowledge issues related to those objects. Through the Exhibition, the graduating class of 2023 shared their work with Secondary teachers and students, engaging in thoughtful conversation about their findings and the nature of Knowledge in general.

本月，G11(国际文凭大学预科项目DP第一学年)的学生在知识理论展(TOK Exhibition)中向全爱莎科学城社区分享了他们的研究成果。本次知识理论成果展，学生通过将研究主题与三个现实世界中的对象相联系，探究抽象概念与现实中的理论联系。作为未来学校的首届毕业生，学生在成果展中，根据其在调研过程中的发现以及对理论知识的归纳，向受邀前来的教师和学生深入分析、论证了个人观点。

What constraints are there on the pursuit of knowledge?

人类对知识的追求有什么限制？

“I was particularly drawn to the prompt because of its exploration of the pursuit of knowledge, rather than communication or the accumulation of knowledge.”

“我第一眼看到这个研究主题的时候就被它吸引，因为它探讨了对知识的追求，而不是对知识的交流与积累。”

“I have always believed knowledge grounded in personal experience is also subject to bias from the experience itself.”

“我一直认为以个人经验为基础的知识也会受到来自经验本身偏见的影响。”

What is the relationship between personal

experience and knowledge?

个人经验和知识之间的关系是怎样的？

“Throughout my life experience I am a hands-on learner and I feel that experiential learning is of a much greater value than direct instruction.”

“从小到大，我自认是一个动手能力很强的学习者，在我看来体验式学习要比直接传授获得的知识更有价值。”

“I found this prompt intriguing because often in our pursuit of knowledge, we lose sight of our own cultural identity.”

“我发现这个研究主题很耐人寻味，因为在我们追求知识的过程中，我们往往会忽略自己的文化背景。”

What is the relationship between knowledge and culture?

知识和文化之间的关系是怎样的？

“This prompt is interesting to me because before coming to an IB school I studied at Chinese public school, and I found the two experiences and approaches to learning to be quite different.”

“这个提示对我来说很有意思，因为在来到IB学校之前，我在中国的公立学校学习，我发现这两种经验和学习方法是完全不同的。”

“This prompt discusses the problems and difficulties that one encounters as they attempt to acquire or more precisely communicate knowledge.”

“这个研究主题将针对个体在试图获得，或者更准确来说——交流知识时遇到的问题和困难进行分析。”

Theory of Knowledge provides the DP students with an opportunity to question the very nature of the knowledge they are receiving, and in doing so, develop a more nuanced, thoughtful understanding of the content studied in all subject areas.

知识理论让DP(国际文凭大学预科项目)学生能够辩证思考他们所获得的知识的本质。在研究和论证过程中，学生将对全学科领域的知识内容产生更细致与全面的理解。
