Oxford IB Diploma Programme: Theory of Knowledge Course Companion (2020 Edition)

The 2020 Edition of the TOK Course Companion provides a sophisticated yet accessible framework for the most recent IB curriculum changes. Authored by experts Eileen Dombrowski, Lena Rotenberg, and Mimi Bick, this edition moves away from the older "Ways of Knowing" model to the new syllabus structure centered on Themes (Knowledge and the Knower, Technology, Language, Politics, Religion, and Indigenous Societies) and Areas of Knowledge.

This book is designed to help students navigate the complexities of information in the 21st century. It emphasizes the "Knowledge Framework"—scope, perspectives, methods and tools, and ethics—to help students evaluate how knowledge is produced and used. With its focus on real-world "Knowledge Questions," it prepares students for the new assessment tasks, specifically the TOK Exhibition and the TOK Essay, ensuring they can articulate their thoughts with clarity and academic rigor.
