What is TOK? Why TOK?

What is TOK?

TOK is theory of knowledge. It's how we know why we know things. The study of learning and why we have reason. It's testing our minds to think beyond what we've been told and what we've read and learned. To try and find our own ways of knowing and our own reasoning for why we think the things we do. 

Why TOK?

Because its a way to challenge us to find out why we know the things we've come to know and understand. It's a good course that's outside the normal academic structure and is good for students to understand why they have the thoughts and ideas they have. TOK is important in understanding the world.
