For most of TOK is just part of most happening “Tik Tok”
For those across the world who study IB board diploma programme its quite different
TOK: Theory of Knowledge
Out of 45 Points it just a 3 pointer but like basketball 3 pointer means lot of satisfaction
Though in terms of weightage of marks is just 6.666% only but I believe its gist of subject.
Boards across the world have evolved lot in past 20 yrs.
Initially
- Theory
- Theory + oral
- Theory + oral+ practical
- Theory +oral+ practical + MCQ
- Theory + oral+ practical + MCQ+ TOK
The necessity of learning to knowledge to its practical application has evolved the test pattern
The latest addition by IB board is “TOK”
I believe in present world where most of social media information are fake, manipulated, distorted without proper authentication TOK is must
Most of us just say anything like political leaders just to say whether its logical , relevant or supported by truth
TOK is like taking at least two steps backward to find history of what we have said
For example, other day I was having discussion in family on RAM MANDIR TEMPLE in Ayodhya and supreme court judgment
Now logically we do not have any scientific proof till date about Lord Ram existence there is still grey area between Myth and History
Land mark Judgment by Supreme court was not about existence of Lord Ram
But about was there any old structure on which mosque was built
During excavation of Ayodhya site lot of pottery, clay utensil, stone manuscript was found which by scientifically carbon dating proved to way older than mosque
So if I stand by Supreme court judgement its because I have knowledge in form of evidence which supported judgement
My TOK says there was temple which was older than mosque and I have enough evidence to support my TOK
TOK is quite interesting thing it helps one to deep dive in subject or topic
It take to logical or calculated statement with support of something which can be accepted in public domain of intelligent people
Its not necessary once TOK is always correct, we all interpret results we may be right we may be wrong but at least we have our point of view with some logic.
Science keep on correcting itself, whatever we know today with logical proof will be proved wrong in future because still we have lot and lot to learned
We still have to wrong many- many times to be correct
I believe we are still very -very wrong scientifically till we find
Single universal laws which can be applied to both Cell & celestial bodies
Till then keep once “TOK”….TikTok
