This Teacher Support Pack is designed to assist you in the teaching of Unit 6, Knowledge and language. It includes 17 lessons. The unit starts with an investigation of the general knowledge questions about language (which may be used as a tool of thinking and a tool of communication), and then these ideas are applied to all five areas of knowledge (Natural Sciences, Human Sciences, Mathematics, History, the Arts).

This Teacher Support Pack is designed to assist you in the teaching of Unit 5, Knowledge and understanding. It includes 19 lessons. The focus in this unit is on three areas of knowledge: Natural Sciences, Human Sciences and the Arts. They are all investigated in comparison and through the overarching concept of “understanding”.

This Teacher Support Pack is designed to assist you in the teaching of Unit 4, Bias in shared knowledge. It includes 22 lessons.

Like all themantic materials, this eBook chapter "Bias in Personal Knowledge" from our new TOK textbook is based on addressing real world problems and issues that are meaningful and relevant for students.

Our brand new textbook for TOK's new syllabus is organized around key knowledge concepts. Each lesson covers one concept. If you use 100 lessons from this book, you will have covered 100 concepts. These are all knowledge concepts that form the foundation of critical thinking in TOK: bias, justification, understanding, evidence, doubt and many others. These knowledge concepts naturally become building blocks of higher-order thinking skills.

Areas of knowledge are all addressed throughout the course and in comparison rather than separately. Instead of teaching 10 hours of Natural Sciences followed by 10 hours of History (and so on), we teach, for example, the concept of bias and look at how bias takes different forms in different areas of knowledge. Such organization of the course is much more holistic and more in line with the IB recommendations. 

The IB-recommended themes are integrated with areas of knowledge. Instead of teaching the themes “Knowledge and language” and “Knowledge and technology” separately from the rest of the course, you will be teaching areas of knowledge through these themes. 

Such organization makes the course holistic and allows you to overcome the artificial division of knowledge into themes, areas of knowledge and so on. With this in mind, we still cover all the aspects of the knowledge framework in every lesson.
