IB Theory of Knowledge Ms. Bauer INTRODUCTION TO THE WAYS OF KNOWING

MOVE TO THE WOK… That you feel is MOST IMPORTANT. That you think is YOUR PRIMARY WAY OF KNOWING. That you think is YOUR LEAST UTILIZED WAY OF KNOWING. That you are MOST INTRIGUED TO ANALYZE IN TOK.

“A complex psychological state that involves three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response” (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2007) Do emotions help or harm our reasoning? When is emotion a reliable way of knowing? “Reason allows us to go beyond the immediate experience of our senses. It is closely linked to logic—the deducing of valid conclusions from given starting points or premises. Human reasoning can also be inferential in nature, allowing conclusions to be drawn that cannot be strictly deduced from their premises” (IB TOK Guide 24) When is reason insufficient as a way of knowing? WHAT ARE THE “WAYS OF KNOWING”? ReasonEmotion

“The mental faculty which allows people to learn and use complex communication systems” AND those communication systems themselves (IB TOK Guide 23) How does language shape knowledge? How are metaphors used in the construction, acquisition, and sharing of knowledge? “The process by which we can gain knowledge about the outside world” through the physical senses (IB TOK Guide 24) How can we know if sense perception is reliable? Do we directly perceive our world, or do our interpretations construct our world? WHAT ARE THE “WAYS OF KNOWING”? Sense PerceptionLanguage

“The capacity to form a mental representation of something without the stimulus of sense perception” (IB TOK Guide 25) What is the role of imagination in producing knowledge about the real world? Can imagination reveal truth if it is not grounded in reality? “Immediate cognition, or knowledge which is immediately evident without prior inference, evidence, or justification” (IB TOK Guide 26) When should we trust our intuition? Is it possible to “know” before you learn? WHAT ARE THE “WAYS OF KNOWING”? IntuitionImagination

“A commitment to a particular interpretation of experience and reality” (IB TOK Guide 25) What is the relationship between faith and reason? Is faith necessary to hold knowledge? “How we retain information and how past events and experiences are reconstructed” (IB TOK Guide 26) What is the role of memory in constructing personal knowledge? Is memory a reliable tool to reconstruct the past? WHAT ARE THE “WAYS OF KNOWING”? MemoryFaith

SILENT DISCUSSION You will be given a writing prompt. Write a paragraph in response to the writing prompt. The prompt will ask for your personal opinion. Back it up with evidence, either from your life, or from the book. Move one desk in front of you and read the response of that student. Respond to that student’s paragraph in writing. Move one more desk in front of you and read both responses on the page. Respond again in writing. Repeat once more. Repeat the process with a new writing prompt.
