以思辨將生活與知識結合：
2021 台北市奎山學校 DP 知識論課程成果展
今日(2021年6月11日) 學校舉行中英知識論課程之成果展。知識論課程之學生展覽為IB DP課程重要的學習活動之一，其旨在培養學生批判思考、反思、與研究的能力。透過知識論課程，學生不僅學到知識，認識知識的本質，同時也能夠更了解自己與他人觀點之差異。
在今天的活動中，教授中、英知識論的老師們分別開設網路直播，各請班上四位同學在網路上與大家分享她們對議題的觀點與學習成果。同時也邀請知識論課程專家老師與相關領域之教師參與分享與提問。
過程中，學生們落落大方分享自己的學習成果也跟與會老師們進行深度對談。從學生跟老師間的互相問答不僅能夠激盪出討論知識的火花，也展現了師生間的默契與信任。此外，學生發表的內容處處展現了其邏輯思維與辯證能力。每位優秀的分享者均能從當初選題的動機與目的，到由表及裡地描述自己的觀察與研究成果，最後以自身的反思或回答觀眾提問作結。透過這樣深刻的學習歷程與成果展現，相信學生均能養成IB學習者的美好特質，也體現了老師跟學校對學生的用心。
Course That Weaves Life and Knowledge Together: 2021 Theory of Knowledge Exhibition at Taipei Kuei Shan School
June 11, 2021
Taipei Kuei Shan School held a live Theory of Knowledge (also known as TOK) Exhibition online today. TOK exhibition is one of the significant learning activities of IB DP Program. The purpose of the course is to cultivate students’ critical thinking, inquiry and reflection abilities. Through TOK course, students not only acquire knowledge but also understand the nature of knowledge. Most importantly, they can compare and contrast their perspectives with others’.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition was held online for the first time. With the help of live broadcast, four students from both Chinese and English TOK courses shared their perspectives on certain issues and their learning outcomes with everyone. The instructors of the courses, TOK experts, and teachers of related fields were all invited to participate in this inspiring event to have further discussion with the students and also shared their valuable insights with the audience.
The lively interactions between students and teachers clearly demonstrated students’ passion for the course and their strong bonds with teachers. Moreover, students’ performance manifested their logical and critical thinking abilities. Each one of them introduced their works from their motivation of choosing their knowledge questions to the details of their research findings. They also ended their presentations with their learning reflections or their replies to the audience’s questions. It goes without saying that the long and fruitful learning process can help students develop their IB learner attributes. It’s definitely also a wonderful way to get inspired in a Friday afternoon with a group of great minds.
