近日，2023 TOK（认识论）成果展在广州外国语学校内顺利举行。在展览中，同学们展现对不同的知识领域的议题的发散性思考，发现学科之间的联系和知识的本质，锻炼批判性思考和多角度看待事物的能力。

从问题设定到物件选择，从展板制作到现场讲演，高二IB的同学们在每一个环节都付出了诸多努力，力求完美地呈现探究结果。

在展览现场，同学们向家长、老师和同学们讲解探究结果，而家长、老师和同学们观展时也给出自己的见解和建议。这不仅锻炼同学们表达和沟通的能力，也帮助同学们对自己的探究有了更加深刻和全面的理解。

在本次TOK成果展中，广州外国语学校IBDP课程的同学们展现了对“知识”本身的深入的思考和有效的分析，丰富多彩的现场视觉化呈现更展示了同学们无穷的创意和潜力。希望同学们再接再厉，积极主动地开展探索和思考，取得更多的探究成果。

TOK并不特指某个领域的具体知识，而是一种思维训练。换言之，TOK不要求学习语文、数学、英语、科学、艺术等知识性科目里的内容，而要求学生反思他们从知识性科目中以及日常生活中学到的知识。学生们最终需要成果展（占分比33%）和论文（占分比67%）。每个学生需要创作包含三件物品的展览，并创作一篇基于展览主题的评论。

作为高中生，学生在课堂上积累了大量的学科知识，课堂外也在不断接收各种资讯、信仰和观点，却少有机会思考这些知识背后的种种问题。比如：人类所掌握的知识是怎么来的，从哪里来的？我们能在多大程度上倚赖这些知识？

TOK则引导学生站到一个更高的视角，去审视人类永无止境获取知识的过程，去探讨人类发现知识、交流知识、验证知识的方法，去了解各种认知陷阱和偏见，认识现有各学科知识结构的形成和要素，鼓励学生重新审视学过的基础学科知识，培养学生探索世界的好奇心、严谨的逻辑思维和批判性思维。

通过TOK课程的学习，学生将达到以下目标：

养成勤于对自我认知进行反思的习惯；

树立辩证看待各种知识的观念，意识到知识普遍存在的局限性和不确定性，并学会对其进行合理的分析和评估；

学生需要深刻认识到价值观，责任意识和道德考量在知识构建、学习和应用中的意义；

学生将跨出自我狭窄的立足点，从多个外部视角审视问题，开放思维，胸纳百川。这种能力便是当今全球化背景下的生存之道——跨文化意识；

通过不同领域的知识在范畴、应用、概念、构建方式和学习方法上的横向对比，帮助学生有意识地建立跨学科的联系。有助于加深高中阶段学生的思维，从被动接收知识到主动创造知识，为未来站上更高的学术平台打下坚实基础。

由此可见，TOK对学习者提出的核心素养要求正是顶尖大学所青睐的，亦是立足于信息全面爆炸、科技迅猛发展的当今社会的必备特质。

Recently, the 2023 IB TOK (Theory of Knowledge) Exhibition was successfully held at Guangzhou Foreign Language School. During the exhibition, students demonstrated their divergent thinking on various topics from different knowledge domains, discovering connections between disciplines and the essence of knowledge. They honed their critical thinking skills and the ability to perceive things from multiple perspectives.

From choosing IA prompt to selecting objects, from display board creation to on-site presentations, the G11 IB students put in tremendous effort in every step in order to present their research findings perfectly.

At the exhibition, students explained their research results to parents, teachers, and fellow students, while they, in turn, provided their insights and suggestions. This not only improved the students' abilities to express themselves and communicate effectively but also helped them gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of their research.

In this TOK exhibition, students from Guangzhou Foreign Language School ISA Wenhua IB Diploma Programme showcased their profound reflections and effective analysis of "knowledge" itself. The vibrant visual presentations on-site demonstrated the students' boundless creativity and potential. We hope that they will continue to strive for excellence, actively engage in exploration and critical thinking, and achieve even more research outcomes.

TOK is a course that is fundamentally about critical thinking and inquiry into the process of knowing rather than about learning a specific body of knowledge. In other words, TOK does not require students to learn the content of knowledge-based subjects such as language, mathematics, English, science, or arts, but rather to reflect on the knowledge they acquire from these subjects and their daily lives. Students are assessed based on their exhibition (33% of the grade) and essay (67% of the grade). Each student is required to create an exhibition comprising three objects and write a commentary based on the exhibition's theme.

As high school students, they have accumulated a large amount of subject knowledge in the classroom, and they are constantly receiving various information, beliefs, and opinions outside the classroom, but they rarely have the opportunity to think about the various issues behind the knowledge. For example, how and where does the knowledge that human beings master come from? How far can we rely on the knowledge?

TOK guides students to see from a higher perspective, to examine the endless process of human beings acquiring knowledge, to explore the methods human beings use to discover knowledge, communicate knowledge, and verify knowledge, to understand various cognitive traps and prejudices, and to recognize the structural formation and elements of existing knowledge, to encourage students to re-examine the basic subject knowledge they have learned, cultivate their curiosity to explore the world, and develop their rigorous logical thinking and critical thinking.

Through the study in TOK, students achieve the following:

Develop the habit of diligently reflecting on self-cognition;

Establish a dialectical view of all kinds of knowledge, be aware of the limitations and uncertainties of knowledge, and learn to analyse and evaluate them reasonably;

Deeply understand the significance of values, sense of responsibility and moral considerations in the construction, learning and application of knowledge;

Step out of their own narrow foothold, examine issues from multiple external perspectives, open their minds, and be open-minded. This ability is the way to survive in the context of globalization today - cross-cultural awareness;

Through the horizontal comparison of the scope, application, concept, construction method and learning method of knowledge in different fields, it helps students to consciously establish interdisciplinary connections. It helps the high school students to deepen their thinking, to actively create knowledge instead of just passively receiving knowledge, laying a solid foundation for a higher academic platform in their future.

The key competence required by TOK of learners is favoured by top universities, and it is also an essential quality today with the explosion of information and the rapid development of science and technology.
