The Green School (Bali)


1.2 Curriculum

The Green School (Bali) is a private and international


pre-kindergarten to high school located along the Ayung
River [1] near Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.[2] The schools
ecologically-sustainable design and focus on sustainability education for young students have been widely
reported,[3][4] although the school has also been criticised
for its steep fees and lack of Indonesian students.[5]

The school reportedly prepares students to be stewards


of the environment, teaching them to be critical and creative thinkers, who champion the sustainability of the
world and the environment.[6]

The curriculum has changed since its inception. Despite initial intentions to oer a British curriculum, including IGCSEs, and oer the International Baccalaureate by 2012,[14] Green School failed to achieve IB accreditation. In 2014, the structure is the Three Frame
Day which includes the Integral Frame, the Instructional
Frame, and the Experiential Frame. Subjects include English, mathematics and science, including ecology, the

scholarships.
The school was founded by John and Cynthia Hardy in
September 2008 with 98 students.[5] The Hardys reportedly conceived of Green School in 2006 after reading
Alan Wagstas Three Springs concept document for an
educational village community,[6] but have also attributed
the inspiration to the Al Gore documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.[5]

The Green School Board of Directors changes regularly,


although the founders are always involved. In 2012, the

pooling.[8]
1.4 Awards
The campus is designed around the principles of an organic permaculture system,[7] and the students cultivate
an organic garden as part of their learning activities.[7]
Buildings are constructed primarily from renewable resources including bamboo, local grass, and traditional
mud walls.[7] The campus has been reported as an example of the large-scale building potential of bamboo
architecture,[9][10] especially The Heart of the School,
a 60-meter long[10] stilt-structure constructed with 2500
bamboo poles.[11] The school also utilizes renewable
building materials for some of its other needs,[12] although senior students are required to use laptops.[13]

Green School was awarded the 2012 Greenest School on


Earth award by the Center for Green Schools at the U.S.
Green Building Council.[16][17] The school was a nalist
for the 2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.[1][18]

the documentary was a critical and box-oce success,
winning two Academy Awards for Best Documentary
Feature and Best Original Song.[4] The lm grossed $24
million in the U.S. and $26 million in the foreign box
oce, becoming the tenth highest grossing documentary
lm to date in the United States.[5]

Following this, Gore shares anecdotes that inspired his


interest in the issue, including his college education with
early climate expert Roger Revelle at Harvard University, his sisters death from lung cancer and his young
sons near-fatal car accident. Gore recalls a story from
his grade-school years, where a fellow student asked his
geography teacher about continental drift; in response,
the teacher called the concept the most ridiculous thing
[he'd] ever heard. Gore ties this conclusion to the assumption that the Earth is so big, we can't possibly have
any lasting, harmful impact on the Earths environment.
For comic eect, Gore uses a clip from the Futurama
episode "Crimes of the Hot" to describe the greenhouse
eect. Gore refers to his loss to George W. Bush in the
2000 United States presidential election as a hard blow
yet one which subsequently brought into clear focus, the
mission [he] had been pursuing for all these years.

The idea to document his eorts came from producer


Laurie David who saw his presentation at a town-hall
meeting on global warming which coincided with the
opening of The Day After Tomorrow. Laurie David was
so inspired by Gores slide show that she, with producer
Lawrence Bender, met with Guggenheim to adapt the
presentation into a lm.

Since the lms release, An Inconvenient Truth has


been credited for raising international public awareness
of climate change and reenergizing the environmental
movement. The documentary has also been included in
science curricula in schools around the world, which has Throughout the movie, Gore discusses the scientic opinion on climate change, as well as the present and future

Gores book of the same title was published concurrently
with the theatrical release of the documentary. The
book contains additional information, scientic analysis, and Gores commentary on the issues presented in
the documentary.[12][13] A 2007 documentary entitled An
Update with Former Vice President Al Gore features Gore
discussing additional information that came to light after the lm was completed, such as Hurricane Katrina,
coral reef depletion, glacial earthquake activity on the
Greenland ice sheet, wildres, and trapped methane gas
release associated with permafrost melting.[14]

rapidly, and fears that the exemptions would lead to further trade imbalances and oshoring arrangement with
those countries.[21][22]
Gore also supported the funding of the controversial, and
much-delayed satellite called Triana, which would have
provided an image of the Earth 24 hours a day, over the
internet and would have acted as a barometer measuring
the process of global warming.[23] During his 2000 presidential campaign, Gore ran, in part, on a pledge to ratify
the Kyoto Protocol.[24]

The slide show

I had never seen it before, and I was oored.


As soon as the evenings program concluded,
I asked him to let me present his full brieng
to leaders and friends in New York and Los
Angeles. I would do all the organizing if he
would commit to the dates. Gores presentation was the most powerful and clear explanation of global warming I had ever seen. And it
became my mission to get everyone I knew to
see it too.

Inspired, David assembled a team, including producer


Lawrence Bender and former president of eBay Jerey
Skoll, who met with Gore about the possibility of making the slide show into a movie. It took some convincing.
The slide show, she says, was his baby, and he felt proprietary about it and it was hard for him to let go.[26]
David said the box oce returns weren't important to her.
None of us are going to make a dime. What is at stake,
she says, is, you know, the planet.[26]
David and Bender later met with director Davis Guggenheim, to have him direct the lm adaptation of his slide
show. Guggenheim, who was skeptical at rst, later saw
the presentation for himself, stating that he was blown
away, and left after an hour and a half thinking that
global warming [was] the most important issue...I had no
idea how youd make a lm out of it, but I wanted to try,
he said.[28]
In 2004 Gore enlisted Duarte Design to condense and update his material and add video and animation.[29] As designer Ted Boda described the work: As a designer for
the presentation, Keynote was the rst choice to help create such an engaging presentation.
Initially reluctant of the lm adaptation, Gore said after
he and the crew were into the production of the movie,
the director, Guggenheim, earned his trust.[30]

Gore presents his global warming slide show at the University of


Miami.

After his defeat in the 2000 presidential election by


George W. Bush, Gore returned his focus to the topic. He
edited and adapted a slide show he had compiled years
earlier, and began featuring the slide show in presentations on global warming across the U.S. and around the
world. At the time of the lm, Gore estimated he had
shown the presentation more than one thousand times.[25]
Producer David saw Gores slide show in New York City
at a global warming town-hall meeting after the May 27,
2004 premiere of The Day After Tomorrow.[26] Gore was
one of several panelists and he showed a ten-minute version of his slide show. [27]

I had seen enough to gain a tremendous


respect for his skill and sensitivity. And he
said that one of the huge dierences between
a live stage performance and a movie is that
when you're in the same room with a live person whos on stage speaking even if its me
theres an element of dramatic tension and human connection that keeps your attention. And
in a movie, that element is just not present. He
explained to me that you have to create that element on screen, by supplying a narrative thread
that allows the audience to make a connection
with one or more characters. He said, You've
got to be that character. So we talked about it,
and as I say, by then he had earned such a high
level of trust from me that he convinced me.

The lms thesis is that global warming is real, potentially
catastrophic, and human-caused. Gore presents specic
data that supports the thesis, including:

The majority of the movie exhibits Gore delivering his


lecture to an audience at a relatively small theater in Los
Angeles. Gores presentation was delivered on a 70-foot
digital screen that Bender commissioned specically for
the movie.[31]

A study by researchers at the Physics Institute at the


University of Bern and the European Project for Ice
Coring in Antarctica presenting data from Antarctic ice cores showing carbon dioxide concentrations
higher than at any time during the past 650,000
years.[33]

While the bulk of the lm was shot on 4:4:4 HDCAM, according to director Guggenheim, a vast array of dierent
lm formats were used: Theres 35mm and 16mm. A lot
of the stu on the farm I just shot myself on 8mm lm.
We used four Sony F950 HDCAMs for the presentation.
We shot three dierent kinds of prosumer HD, both 30
and 24. Theres MiniDV, theres 3200 black-and-white
stills, theres digital stills, some of them emailed on the
day they were taken from as far o as Greenland. There
was three or four dierent types of animation. One of
the animators is from New Zealand and emailed me his
work. Theres JPEG stu.[32]
Guggenheim says while it would've been a lot easier to use
one format, it would not have had the same impact. Each
format has its own feel and texture and touch. For the
storytelling of what Gores memory was like of growing
up on the farm, some of this 8mm stu that I shot is very
impressionistic. And for some of his memories of his
sons accident, these grainy black-and-white stills... have
a feel that contrasted very beautifully with the crisp hidef HD that we shot. Every format was used to its best
potential. Some of the footage of Katrina has this blownout video, where the chroma is just blasted, and it looks
real muddy, but that too has its own kind of powerful,
impactful feeling.[32]

A 2004 survey, by Naomi Oreskes of 928 peerreviewed scientic articles on global climate change
published between 1993 and 2003. The survey, published as an editorial in the journal Science, found
that every article either supported the human-caused
global warming consensus or did not comment on
it.[34] Gore also presented a 2004 study by Max and
Jules Boyko showing 53% of articles that appeared
in major US newspapers over a fourteen-year period
gave roughly equal attention to scientists who expressed views that global warming was caused by humans as they did to global warming skeptics (many
of them funded by carbon-based industry interests),
creating a false balance.[35]
The Associated Press contacted more than 100 climate
researchers and questioned them about the lms veracity.
All 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie said that
Gore accurately conveyed the science, with few errors.[36]

William H. Schlesinger, dean of the Nicholas School of
Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University said
"[Gore] got all the important material and got it right.
Robert Corell, chairman of the Arctic Climate Impact
Assessment was also impressed. I sat there and I'm
amazed at how thorough and accurate. After the presentation I said, 'Al, I'm absolutely blown away. Theres a lot
of details you could get wrong.'...I could nd no error.[36]
Michael Shermer, scientic author and founder of The
Skeptics Society, wrote in Scientic American that Gores
slide show shocked me out of my doubting stance.[37]
Eric Steig, a climate scientist writing on RealClimate,
lauded the lms science as remarkably up to date, with
reference to some of the very latest research.[38] Ted
Scambos, lead scientist from the National Snow and Ice
Data Center, said the lm does an excellent job of outlining the science behind global warming and the challenges
society faces in the coming century because of it.[39]
One concern among scientists in the lm was the connection between hurricanes and global warming, which remains contentious in the science community. Gore cited
ve recent scientic studies to support his view.[36] I
thought the use of imagery from Hurricane Katrina was
inappropriate and unnecessary in this regard, as there are
plenty of disturbing impacts associated with global warming for which there is much greater scientic consensus,
said Brian Soden, professor of meteorology and oceanography at the University of Miami.[36] Gavin Schmidt, climate modeler for NASA, thought Gore appropriately addressed the issue.[40] Gore talked about 2005 and 2004
being very strong seasons, and if you weren't paying attention, you could be left with the impression that there was a
direct cause and eect, but he was very careful to not say
theres a direct correlation, Schmidt said.[40] There is a
dierence between saying 'we are condent that they will
increase' and 'we are condent that they have increased
due to this eect,'" added Steig. Never in the movie
does he say: 'This particular event is caused by global
warming.'"[40]

EPICA and Vostok ice cores display the relationship between temperature and level of CO2 for the last 650,000 years.

CHAPTER 3. AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH


Gores use of long ice core records of CO2 and temperature (from oxygen isotope measurements) in Antarctic ice cores to illustrate the correlation between the two
drew some scrutiny; Schmidt, Steig and Michael E. Mann
back up Gores data. Gore stated that the greenhouse
gas levels and temperature changes over ice age signals
had a complex relationship but that they 't'. Both of
these statements are true, said Schmidt and Mann.[41]
The complexity though is actually quite fascinating...a
full understanding of why CO2 changes in precisely the
pattern that it does during ice ages is elusive, but among
the most plausible explanations is that increased received
solar radiation in the southern hemisphere due to changes
in Earths orbital geometry warms the southern ocean,
releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, which then leads to
further warming through an enhanced greenhouse effect. Gores terse explanation of course does not mention such complexities, but the crux of his pointthat the
observed long-term relationship between CO2 and temperature in Antarctica supports our understanding of the
warming impact of increased CO2 concentrationsis correct. Moreover, our knowledge of why CO2 is changing
now (fossil fuel burning) is solid. We also know that CO2
is a greenhouse gas, and that the carbon cycle feedback is
positive (increasing temperatures lead to increasing CO2
and CH4 ), implying that future changes in CO2 will be
larger than we might anticipate.[41] Gore is careful not
to state what the temperature/CO2 scaling is, said Steig.
He is making a qualitative point, which is entirely accurate. The fact is that it would be dicult or impossible to explain past changes in temperature during the ice
age cycles without CO2 changes. In that sense, the ice
core CO2 -temperature correlation remains an appropriate demonstration of the inuence of CO2 on climate.[38]
Steig disputed Gores statement that you can visibly see
the eect that the United States Clean Air Act has had on
ice cores in Antarctica. One can neither see, nor even
detect using sensitive chemical methods any evidence in
Antarctica of the Clean Air Act, he said, but did note
that they are clearly recorded in ice core records from
Greenland.[42] Despite these aws, Steig said that the
lm got the fundamental science right and the minor factual errors did not undermine the main message of the
lm,[42] adding "An Inconvenient Truth rests on a solid
scientic foundation.[42]
Lonnie Thompson, Earth Science professor at Ohio State
University, whose work on retreating glaciers was featured in the lm, was pleased with how his research was
presented. Its so hard given the breadth of this topic to
be factually correct, and make sure you don't lose your audience, Thompson said. As scientists, we publish our
papers in Science and Nature, but very few people read
those. Heres another way to get this message out. To
me, its an excellent overview for an introductory class at
a university. What are the issues and what are the possible
consequences of not doing anything about those changes?
To me, it has tremendous value. It will reach people that

Following the lm, Gore founded The Climate Reality Project in 2006 which trained 1,000 activists to give
Gores presentation in their communities. Presently, the
group has 3,500 presenters worldwide.[101]

An additional initiative was launched in 2010, called

that The entire global scientic community has a consensus on the question that human beings are responsible for global warming and he [Bush] has today again expressed personal doubt that that is true. White House

judge only took issue with just a handful. And of that
handful, we have the studies to back those pieces up.[131]

Further information: Dimmock v Secretary of State for

Education and Skills
In May 2007, Stewart Dimmocka lorry (HGV) driver,
school governor from Kent, England, and member of
a right-wing group called the New Partychallenged
the UK Governments distribution of the lm in a lawsuit, Dimmock v Secretary of State for Education and
Skills with help from political ally and New Party founder
Viscount Monckton.[120][121] The plaintis sought an
injunction preventing the screening of the lm in English
schools, arguing that schools are legally forbidden to promote partisan political views and, when dealing with political issues, are required to provide a balanced presentation of opposing views.
On 10 October 2007, Mr Justice Burton, after explaining
that the requirement for a balanced presentation does not
warrant that equal weight be given to alternative views of
a mainstream view, ruled that it was clear that the lm was
substantially founded upon scientic research and fact, albeit that the science is used, in the hands of a talented
politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political program.[122] The judge
ruled that An Inconvenient Truth contained nine scientic
errors and thus must be accompanied by an explanation of
those errors before being shown to school children. The
judge said that showing the lm without the explanations
of error would be a violation of education laws.[123]
The judge concluded I have no doubt that Dr Stott, the
Defendants expert, is right when he says that: 'Al Gores
presentation of the causes and likely eects of climate
change in the lm was broadly accurate.'" On the basis of
testimony from Robert M. Carter and the arguments put
forth by the claimants lawyers, the judge also pointed to
nine errors, i.e. statements the truth of which he did not
rule on, but that he found to depart from the mainstream
scientic positions on global warming.[124][125][126] He
also found that some of these departures from the mainstream arose in the context of alarmism and exaggeration
in support of political theses.[127][128] Since the government had already accepted to amend the guidance notes
to address these along with other points in a fashion that
the judge found satisfactory, no order was made on the
application.
Each side declared victory. Government Minister of
Children, Young People and Families, Kevin Brennan
stated: We have updated the accompanying guidance,
as requested by the judge to make it clearer for teachers as to the stated Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change position on a number of scientic points raised
in the lm.[129] Plainti Dimmock complained that no
amount of turgid guidance could change his view that the
lm was unsuitable for the classroom.[130] A spokesman
for Gore said: Of the thousands of facts in the lm, the

In the United States

In the United States, 50,000 free copies of An Inconvenient Truth were oered to the National Science Teachers
Association (NSTA), which declined to take them. Producer David provided an email correspondence from the
NSTA detailing that their reasoning was that the DVDs
would place unnecessary risk upon the [NSTA] capital campaign, especially certain targeted supporters, and
that they saw little, if any, benet to NSTA or its members in accepting the free DVDs.[132] A Washington Post
editorial called the decision Science a la Joe Camel", citing for example that the NSTA had received $6 million
since 1996 from Exxon Mobil, which had a representative
on the organizations corporate board.[133] In public, the
NSTA argued that distributing this lm to its members
would have been contrary to a long-standing NSTA policy
against distributing unsolicited materials to its members.
The NSTA also said that they had oered several other
options for distributing the lm but ultimately "[it] appears that these alternative distribution mechanisms were
unsatisfactory.[134] David has said that NSTA Executive
Director Gerry Wheeler promised in a telephone conversation to explore alternatives with NSTAs board for advertising the lm but she had not yet received an alternative oer at the time of NSTAs public claim. She also
said that she rejected their subsequent oers because they
were nothing more than oers to sell their commercially
available member mailing list and advertising space in
their magazine and newsletter, which are available to anyone. She noted that in the past, NSTA had shipped out
20,000 copies of a 10-part video produced by Wheeler
with funding provided by ConocoPhillips in 2003. NSTA
indicated that they retained editorial control over the content, which David questioned based on the point of view
portrayed in the global warming section of the video.[135]
The American Association for the Advancement of Science publication ScienceNOW published an assessment
discussing both sides of the NSTA decision in which it
was reported that David says NSTAs imprimatur [i.e.
endorsement or sanction] was essential and that buying a
mailing list is a nonstarter. 'You don't want to send out a
cold letter, and it costs a lot of money,' she says. 'There
are a thousand reasons why that wouldn't work.'"[136]
In January 2007, the Federal Way (Washington State)
School Board voted to require an approval by the principal and the superintendent for teachers to show the lm
to students and that the teachers must include the presentation of an approved opposing view.[137] The moratorium was repealed, at a meeting on January 23, after a
predominantly negative community reaction.[138] Shortly
thereafter, the school board in Yakima, Washington, calling the lm a controversial issue, prevented the Environmental Club of Eisenhower High School from showing

it, pending review by the school board, teachers, principal, and parents.[139] It lifted the stay a month later, upon
the approval by a review panel.[140]

In New Zealand

Former ACT New Zealand Member of Parliament


Muriel Newman led a petition to have New Zealand
schoolchildren be protected from political indoctrination
by putting provisions that resembled those in the UK to
the Education Act. The petition was in response to concerned parents talked with Newman after An Inconvenient Truth was shown in schools in 2007. The parents
were worried that teachers were not pointing out supposed inaccuracies in the lm and were not explaining
diering viewpoints.[141]

3.8 Music
An Inconvenient Truth was scored by Michael Brook with
an accompanying theme song played during the end credits by Melissa Etheridge. Brook explained that he wanted
to bring out the emotion expressed in the lm: "...in Inconvenient Truth, theres a lot of information and its kind
of a lecture, in a way, and very well organized and very
well presented, but its a lot to absorb. And the director,
Guggenheim, wanted to have sort of give people a little break every once in a while and say, okay, you don't
have to absorb this information, you can just sort of
and it was more the personal side of Al Gores life or how
it connected to the theme of the lm. And thats when
theres music.[143]

In 2010, the Wealth dynamics system was supplemented
with the Wealth Spectrum levels, which divides each prole into nine levels. It was also modied into the Talent

Health Service (NHS) to General Mills.

6.5 Organization
The IB is a not-for-prot educational foundation. The
IB maintains its Foundation Oce in Geneva, Switzerland. The Assessment Centre is located in Cardi, Wales
and the curriculum centre moved in 2011 to The Hague,
Netherlands. Three Global Centres have been opened:
Bethesda Maryland, United States, Singapore and The
Hague, Netherlands.

24
The organisation is divided into three regional centres:
IB Africa, Europe and Middle East (IBAEM), administered from The Hague; IB Americas (IBA), administered from Bethesda and Buenos Aires, Argentina; and IB
Asia-Pacic (IBAP), administered from Singapore.[20]
Sub-regional associations are groups formed by and for
IB school practitioners to assist IB schools, teachers and
students in their communitiesfrom implementing IB
programmes to providing a forum for dialogue.[21] There
are currently fty-six (56) sub-regional associations, including:
fteen (15) in the IB Africa, Europe and Middle East
(IBAEM) region;[22]
thirty-six (36) in the IB Americas (IBA) region; [23]
and
ve in the IB Asia Pacic (IBAP) region.[24]
In 2003, the IB established the IB Fund, incorporated in
the United States, for the purpose of enhancing fundraising and keeping funds raised separate from operational
funds.[25] In 2004, the IB approved a strategic plan to
ensure that programmes and services are of the highest
quality and to provide access to people who are socioeconomically disadvantaged.[26] In 2010 the strategic
plan was updated after substantial consultation. The vision for the next 5 years was to more consciously establish the IB as a leader in international education and the
Board outlined a vision and four strategic goals with key
strategic objective.[27]
Access remains fundamental to the mission of the IB and
a variety of initiatives and projects are helping to take it
forward in Ecuador, Poland, Romania, Czech republic,
South Africa, Kazakhstan, Spain, Malaysia, and Japan[28]
The United States has the largest number of IB programmes (1,665 out of 4,502) oered in both private and
public schools.[29]
The IB has consultative status as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) at United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and has
collaborative relationships with the Council of Europe
and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie
(OIF).[30]

6.6 Governance
The IB governance is composed of an IB Board of Governors and six committees (access and advancement,
audit, education, nance, human resources and governance). The Board of Governors appoints the Director
general, sets the strategic direction of the organisation,
adopts a mission statement, makes policy, oversees the
IBs nancial management, and ensures autonomy and integrity of the IB Diploma Programme examinations and

CHAPTER 6. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE


other student assessment. The structure of its dierent committees are based on respect, representation and
collaboration.[31]
The Board of Governors can comprise between 15 and
25 members. Members are elected by the Board on the
recommendation of the governance committee, and from
nominations presented from the Heads Council, Regional
Councils and the Board. To encourage diversity of gender, culture and geography, there are only three ex ocio
positions: Director general (non-voting), the chair of the
Examining Board and the chair of the Heads Council.[32]

6.7 Reception
The IB Diploma Programme was described as a rigorous, o-the-shelf curriculum recognized by universities
around the world when it was featured in the December
18, 2006, edition of Time titled How to bring our schools
out of the 20th Century.[34] The IBDP was also featured
in the summer 2002 edition of American Educator, where
Robert Rothman described it as a good example of an effective, instructionally sound, exam-based system.[35] In
2006, as part of the American Competitiveness Initiative
(ACI),[36] President George W. Bush and Education Secretary Margaret Spellings presented a plan for the expansion of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate mathematics and science courses, with the goal
of increasing the number of AP and IB teachers and the
number of students taking AP and IB exams, as well as
tripling the number of students passing those exams.[36]
Howard Gardner, a professor of educational psychology
at Harvard University, said that the IBDP curriculum is
less parochial than most American eorts and helps
students think critically, synthesize knowledge, reect
on their own thought processes and get their feet wet in
interdisciplinary thinking.[37]
In 2006 government ministers in the United Kingdom
provided funding so that every local authority in England could have at least one centre oering sixth-formers
the chance to do the IB.[38] In 2008, due to the devaluing
of the A-Levels and an increase in the number of students
taking the IB exams, then-Childrens Secretary Ed Balls
abandoned a agship Tony Blair pledge to allow children
in all areas to study IB. Fears of a two-tier education
system further dividing education between the rich and
the poor emerged as the growth in IB is driven by private
schools and sixth-form colleges.[39]
In the United States the IBDP has been labeled Marxist, foreign, globalist, and anti-American. These accusations resulted in a 2006 attempt to eliminate it from
a public school in Pittsburgh, PA.[40][41] Some schools
in the United States have eliminated the IBDP due to
budgetary reasons and low student participation.[42][43]
In Utah in 2008, funding for the IBDP was reduced
from $300,000 to $100,000 after State Senator Margaret

6.9. SEE ALSO


Dayton objected to the program, stating, First, I have
never espoused eliminating IB ...I don't want to create
'world citizens nearly as much as I want to help cultivate
American citizens who function well in the world.[44][45]
But not everyone agrees and Mayor Rahm Emanuel of
Chicago believes IB needs to be an option for students in
Chicago Public Schools.[46] Elizabeth Brackett reports on
the IB in Chicago.[47] The City of Miami Beach Commission entered into an education compact with Miami-Dade
County Public Schools with one of the initiatives of the
compact to implement the IB program throughout Miami
Beach feeder schools.[48]
In other parts of the world IB programs has been well
received. In 2013 The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan and the
IB announced a plan that will expand the opportunities
for Japanese students to complete the IB curriculum in
Japanese.[49] In Malaysia a project has been developed in
response to interest expressed by the Malaysia Ministry
of Education (MoE) in working with the IB to implement the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) in select
secondary state schools.[50] The Abu Dhabi Education
Council (ADEC) signed an agreement with the IB in efforts to widen the options oered for parents and to meet
the dierent needs of students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). [51] In April 2014 The King Faisal Foundation in Saudi Arabia and the IB signed a memorandum
of understanding to develop IB programs, including the
IBDP, in up to 40 primary and secondary schools, with
the goal of developing these schools as centres of excellence as IB World Schools.[52] Internationally the IB continues to be recognised as innovative. In 2014 The World
Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) announced the
IB Career-related Certicate as a nalist for their annual
WISE Awards.[53]

6.8 Allegations of plagiarism


After Jerey Beard, a past director-general of International Baccalaureate, gave a talk on Education for a Better World on 5 August 2010 at the Chautauqua Institution in New York State, the institution issued a statement
the next day in which it expressed genuine disappointment with the talk, noting that it drew heavily upon
and quoted extensively from a speech given earlier in the
year by Sir Ken Robinson, while adding that he neglected to cite his source or reveal the quotations for what
they were.[54] Ken Robinson is a renowned British educationist who lives in the United States. Through an IB
spokesperson, Beard admitted that he could have been
more explicit about the sources and authors that inspired
him for the content of this speech.[54] In a letter sent to
heads of schools that oer the IB curricula, he described
this as an unfortunate incident due to an oversight.[55]
In an apparently unrelated development, the Times Educational Supplement revealed on 8 October 2010, that

25
signicant portions of one of IBs marking guides for
the IB Diploma Programme was lifted wholesale from
unattributed websites, including Wikipedia.[56] In a letter
to schools, IB director-general Beard wrote: We have
and always will take immediate and appropriate action
when we discover any violation of our policies or standards. The examiner responsible for the plagiarism resigned from the examination board ve weeks after the
issue came to light.[57]

includes the island of Bali and a few smaller neighbouring
islands, notably Nusa Penida. It is located at the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, between Java to
the west and Lombok to the east. Its capital of Denpasar
is located at the southern part of the island.

In ancient Bali, nine Hindu sects existed, namely Pasupata, Bhairawa, Siwa Shidanta, Waisnawa, Bodha,
Brahma, Resi, Sora and Ganapatya. Each sect revered
a specic deity as its personal Godhead.[13]

With a population of 3,890,757 in the 2010 census,[5] and


currently 4,225,000 as at January 2014,[6] the island is
home to most of Indonesias Hindu minority. According
to the 2010 Census, 84.5% of Balis population adhered
to Balinese Hinduism,[4] 12% to Islam, and most of the
remainder followed Christianity.

Balinese culture was strongly inuenced by Indian, Chinese, and particularly Hindu culture, beginning around
the 1st century AD. The name Bali dwipa (Bali island)
has been discovered from various inscriptions, including
the Blanjong pillar inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD and mentioning Walidwipa. It was
during this time that the people developed their complex
irrigation system subak to grow rice in wet-eld cultivation. Some religious and cultural traditions still practised
today can be traced to this period.

Bali is the largest tourist destination in the country


and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting,
leather, metalworking, and music. Since the late 20th
century, the province has had a rise in tourism.

The Dutch mounted large naval and ground assaults at
the Sanur region in 1906 and were met by the thousands of members of the royal family and their followers
who fought against the superior Dutch force in a suicidal puputan defensive assault rather than face the humiliation of surrender.[16] Despite Dutch demands for surrender, an estimated 200 Balinese marched to their death
against the invaders.[18] In the Dutch intervention in Bali,
a similar massacre occurred in the face of a Dutch assault in Klungkung. Afterward the Dutch governors exercised administrative control over the island, but local
control over religion and culture generally remained intact. Dutch rule over Bali came later and was never as
well established as in other parts of Indonesia such as Java
and Maluku.

At religious festivals on Bali the sculptures are dressed and umbrellas are placed by the temples.

In the 1930s, anthropologists Margaret Mead and


Gregory Bateson, artists Miguel Covarrubias and Walter
Spies, and musicologist Colin McPhee all spent time
here. Their accounts of the island and its peoples created a western image of Bali as an enchanted land of

tourists began to visit the island.[19]

lished in 1602. The Dutch government expanded its control across the Indonesian archipelago during the second
half of the 19th century (see Dutch East Indies). Dutch
political and economic control over Bali began in the
1840s on the islands north coast, when the Dutch pitted
various competing Balinese realms against each other.[16]
In the late 1890s, struggles between Balinese kingdoms in
the islands south were exploited by the Dutch to increase
their control.
In June 1860 the famous Welsh naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, travelled to Bali from Singapore, landing at
Bileling on the northcoast of the island. Wallaces trip to
Bali was instrumental in helping him devise his Wallace
Line theory. The Wallace Line is a faunal boundary that
runs through the strait between Bali and Lombok. It has
been found to be a boundary between species of Asiatic origin in the east and a mixture of Australian and
Asian species to the west. In his travel memoir The Malay
Archipelago, Wallace wrote of his experience in Bali:
I was both astonished and delighted; for as
my visit to Java was some years later, I had
never beheld so beautiful and well-cultivated

not originally a target in their Netherlands East Indies
Campaign, but as the airelds on Borneo were inoperative due to heavy rains, the Imperial Japanese Army decided to occupy Bali, which did not suer from comparable weather. The island had no regular Royal Netherlands
East Indies Army (KNIL) troops. There was only a Native Auxiliary Corps Prajoda (Korps Prajoda) consisting
of about 600 native soldiers and several Dutch KNIL ofcers under command of KNIL Lieutenant Colonel W.P.
Roodenburg. On 19 February 1942 the Japanese forces

timated 80,000 killed in Bali, equivalent to 5% of the
islands population.[16][19][22] With no Islamic forces involved as in Java and Sumatra, upper-caste PNI landlords
led the extermination of PKI members.[22]
As a result of the 1965/66 upheavals, Suharto was able
to manoeuvre Sukarno out of the presidency. His New
Order government reestablished relations with western
countries. The pre-War Bali as paradise was revived
in a modern form. The resulting large growth in tourism
has led to a dramatic increase in Balinese standards of
living and signicant foreign exchange earned for the
country.[16] A bombing in 2002 by militant Islamists in
the tourist area of Kuta killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. This attack, and another in 2005, severely reduced
tourism, producing much economic hardship to the island.

During the Japanese occupation, a Balinese military ocer, Gusti Ngurah Rai, formed a Balinese 'freedom army'.
The harshness of war requisitions made Japanese rule
more resented than Dutch rule.[21] Following Japans Pacic surrender in August 1945, the Dutch returned to Indonesia, including Bali, to reinstate their pre-war colonial administration. This was resisted by the Balinese

Independence from the Dutch

In 1946 the Dutch constituted Bali as one of the 13 administrative districts of the newly proclaimed State of
East Indonesia, a rival state to the Republic of Indonesia,
which was proclaimed and headed by Sukarno and Hatta.
Bali was included in the Republic of the United States of
Indonesia when the Netherlands recognised Indonesian
independence on 29 December 1949.

The 1963 eruption of Mount Agung killed thousands,


created economic havoc and forced many displaced Balinese to be transmigrated to other parts of Indonesia. Mirroring the widening of social divisions across Indonesia in
the 1950s and early 1960s, Bali saw conict between supporters of the traditional caste system, and those rejecting
this system. Politically, the opposition was represented
by supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI)
and the Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI), with tensions
and ill-feeling further increased by the PKIs land reform
programs.[16] An attempted coup in Jakarta was put down
by forces led by General Suharto.

7.6 Economy
Three decades ago, the Balinese economy was largely
agriculture-based in terms of both output and employment. Tourism is now the largest single industry in terms
of income, and as a result, Bali is one of Indonesias
wealthiest regions. In 2003, around 80% of Balis economy was tourism related.[32] By end of June 2011, nonperforming loan of all banks in Bali were 2.23%, lower
than the average of Indonesian banking industry nonperforming loan (about 5%).[33] The economy, however,
suered signicantly as a result of the terrorist bombings
2002 and 2005. The tourism industry has since recovered
from these events.

7.6.1

Agriculture

Although tourism produces the GDPs largest output,


agriculture is still the islands biggest employer;[34] most
notably rice cultivation. Crops grown in smaller amounts Canyoning in Gitgit Waterfall, Bali, Indonesia
include fruit, vegetables, Coea arabica and other cash
and subsistence crops. Fishing also provides a signicant
number of jobs. Bali is also famous for its artisans who
produce a vast array of handicrafts, including batik and
ikat cloth and clothing, wooden carvings, stone carvings,
painted art and silverware. Notably, individual villages
typically adopt a single product, such as wind chimes or
wooden furniture.
The Arabica coee production region is the highland region of Kintamani near Mount Batur. Generally, Balinese coee is processed using the wet method. This
results in a sweet, soft coee with good consistency.
Typical avours include lemon and other citrus notes.[35]
Many coee farmers in Kintamani are members of a
traditional farming system called Subak Abian, which is
based on the Hindu philosophy of "Tri Hita Karana". According to this philosophy, the three causes of happiness
are good relations with God, other people and the environment. The Subak Abian system is ideally suited to the
production of fair trade and organic coee production.
Arabica coee from Kintamani is the rst product in Indonesia to request a Geographical Indication.[36]

would be higher than 2007 levels), due to the worldwide
economic crisis which has also aected the global tourist
industry, but not due to any travel warnings.
Balis tourism economy survived the terrorist bombings
of 2002 and 2005, and the tourism industry has in fact
slowly recovered and surpassed its pre-terrorist bombing levels; the longterm trend has been a steady increase
of visitor arrivals. In 2010, Bali received 2.57 million
foreign tourists, which surpassed the target of 2.02.3
million tourists. The average occupancy of starred hotels achieved 65%, so the island is still able to accommodate tourists for some years without any addition of
new rooms/hotels,[38] although at the peak season some
of them are fully booked.
Bali received the Best Island award from Travel and
Leisure in 2010.[39] The island of Bali won because of
its attractive surroundings (both mountain and coastal areas), diverse tourist attractions, excellent international
and local restaurants, and the friendliness of the local
people. According to BBC Travel released in 2011, Bali

Karangasem, Bali amounted $30 million.[54] In 17 July
2011 the rst cruise ship (Sun Princess) anchored about
400 meters away from the wharf of Tanah Ampo harbour. The current pier is only 154 meters and will eventually be 300 to 350 meters to accommodate international
cruise ships. The harbour would be safer than Benoa and
has a scenic backdrop of a panoramic view of mountainous area with green rice elds.[55] By December 2011 the
auction process will be settled and Tanah Ampo is predicted to become the main hub for cruise ships in Indonesia by 2013.[56]

In the twentieth century the incidence of tourism specifically for sex was regularly observed in the era of mass
tourism in Indonesia[46][47][48] In Bali, prostitution is conducted by both men and women. Bali in particular is notorious for its 'Kuta Cowboys, local gigolos targeting foreign female tourists.[49]

7.7 Transportation
On May 2011, an integrated Areal Trac Control System (ATCS) was implemented to reduce trac jams at
four crossing points: Ngurah Rai statue, Dewa Ruci Kuta
crossing, Jimbaran crossing and Sanur crossing. ATCS is
an integrated system connecting all trac lights, CCTVs
and other trac signals with a monitoring oce at the police headquarters. It has successfully been implemented
in other ASEAN countries and will be implemented at
other crossings in Bali.[61][62]

A major form of transport in Bali is the Moped

On 21 December 2011 construction started on the Nusa


Dua-Benoa-Ngurah Rai International Airport toll road
which will also provide a special lane for motorcycles.
This has been done by seven state-owned enterprises led
by PT Jasa Marga with 60% of shares. PT Jasa Marga
Bali Tol will construct the 9.91 kilometres toll road (totally 12.7 kilometres with access road). The construction
is estimated to cost Rp.2.49 trillion ($273.9 million). The
project goes through 2 kilometres of mangrove forest and
through 2.3 kilometres of beach, both within 5.4 hectares
area. The elevated toll road is built over the mangrove for-

est on 18,000 concrete pillars which occupied 2 hectares


of mangroves forest. It compensated by new planting of
300,000 mangrove trees along the road. On 21 December 2011 the Dewa Ruci 450 meters underpass has also
started on the busy Dewa Ruci junction near Bali Kuta
Galeria with an estimated cost of Rp136 billion ($14.9
million) from the state budget.[63][64][65] On 23 September 2013, the Bali Mandara Toll Road is opened and the
Dewa Ruci Junction (Simpang Siur) underpass is opened
before. Both are ease the heavy trac congestion.[66]
To solve chronic trac problems, the province will also
build a toll road connecting Serangan with Tohpati, a toll
road connecting Kuta, Denpasar and Tohpati and a y- The Mother Temple of Besakih, one of Balis most signicant

Hindu temples.

7.8 Demographics
The population of Bali was 3,890,757 as of the 2010 Census; the latest estimate (for January 2014) is 4,225,384.
There are an estimated 30,000 expatriates living in
Bali.[69]

7.8.1

Ethnic origins

A DNA study in 2005 by Karafet et al.[70] found that 12%


of Balinese Y-chromosomes are of likely Indian origin,
while 84% are of likely Austronesian origin, and 2% of
likely Melanesian origin. The study does not correlate the

Religion

Unlike most of Muslim-majority Indonesia, about 83.5%


of Balis population adheres to Balinese Hinduism,
formed as a combination of existing local beliefs and
Hindu inuences from mainland Southeast Asia and
South Asia. Minority religions include Islam (13.3%),

Balinese Hinduism has roots in Indian Hinduism and


Buddhism, and adopted the animistic traditions of the indigenous people. This inuence strengthened the belief
that the gods and goddesses are present in all things. Every element of nature, therefore, possesses its own power,
which reects the power of the gods. A rock, tree, dagger,
or woven cloth is a potential home for spirits whose energy can be directed for good or evil. Balinese Hinduism
is deeply interwoven with art and ritual. Ritualizing states
of self-control are a notable feature of religious expres-

sion among the people, who for this reason have become
famous for their graceful and decorous behaviour.[72]
Apart from the majority of Balinese Hindus, there also
exist Chinese immigrants whose traditions have melded
with that of the locals. As a result, these Sino-Balinese
not only embrace their original religion, which is a mixture of Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism and Confucianism, but also nd a way to harmonise it with the local traditions. Hence, it is not uncommon to nd local
Sino-Balinese during the local temples odalan. Moreover, Balinese Hindu priests are invited to perform rites
alongside a Chinese priest in the event of the death of a
Sino-Balinese.[73] Nevertheless, the Sino-Balinese claim
to embrace Buddhism for administrative purposes, such

as their Identity Cards.[74]

7.8.4

Language

Balinese and Indonesian are the most widely spoken languages in Bali, and the vast majority of Balinese people are bilingual or trilingual. The most common spoken
language around the tourist areas is Indonesian, as many
people in the tourist sector are not solely Balinese, but
migrants from Java, Lombok, Sumatra, and other parts
of Indonesia. There are several indigenous Balinese languages, but most Balinese can also use the most widely
spoken option: modern common Balinese. The usage of
dierent Balinese languages was traditionally determined
by the Balinese caste system and by clan membership, but
this tradition is diminishing. Kawi and Sanskrit are also
commonly used by some Hindu priests in Bali, for Hinduism literature was mostly written in Sanskrit.

by a day of silence. On this day everyone stays at home


and tourists are encouraged to remain in their hotels. On
the day before New Year, large and colourful sculptures
of ogoh-ogoh monsters are paraded and nally burned
in the evening to drive away evil spirits. Other festivals throughout the year are specied by the Balinese
pawukon calendrical system.

English is a common third language (and the primary foreign language) of many Balinese, owing to the requirements of the tourism industry. Other foreign languages,
such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French or German
are often used in multilingual signs for foreign tourists.

7.9 Culture
See also: Balinese art, Music of Bali and Balinese cuisine
Bali is renowned for its diverse and sophisticated art
forms, such as painting, sculpture, woodcarving, handcrafts, and performing arts. Balinese cuisine is also distinctive. Balinese percussion orchestra music, known
as gamelan, is highly developed and varied. Balinese
performing arts often portray stories from Hindu epics
such as the Ramayana but with heavy Balinese inuence. Famous Balinese dances include pendet, legong,
baris, topeng, barong, gong keybar, and kecak (the monkey dance). Bali boasts one of the most diverse and innovative performing arts cultures in the world, with paid
performances at thousands of temple festivals, private
ceremonies, or public shows.[75]

Cremation in Ubud

Celebrations are held for many occasions such as a toothling (coming-of-age ritual), cremation or odalan (temple festival). One of the most important concepts that
The Hindu New Year, Nyepi, is celebrated in the spring Balinese ceremonies have in common is that of dsa

kala patra, which refers to how ritual performances must


be appropriate in both the specic and general social
context.[76] Many of the ceremonial art forms such as
wayang kulit and topeng are highly improvisatory, providing exibility for the performer to adapt the performance
to the current situation.[77] Many celebrations call for a
loud, boisterous atmosphere with lots of activity and the
resulting aesthetic, ram, is distinctively Balinese. Often two or more gamelan ensembles will be performing
well within earshot, and sometimes compete with each
other to be heard. Likewise, the audience members talk
amongst themselves, get up and walk around, or even
cheer on the performance, which adds to the many layers of activity and the liveliness typical of ram.[78]

Balinese society continues to revolve around each familys ancestral village, to which the cycle of life and religion is closely tied.[82] Coercive aspects of traditional
society, such as customary law sanctions imposed by traditional authorities such as village councils (including
"kasepekang", or shunning) have risen in importance as a
consequence of the democratisation and decentralisation
of Indonesia since 1998.[82]

Kaja and kelod are the Balinese equivalents of North and


South, which refer to ones orientation between the islands largest mountain Gunung Agung (kaja), and the sea
(kelod). In addition to spatial orientation, kaja and kelod
have the connotation of good and evil; gods and ancestors are believed to live on the mountain whereas demons
live in the sea. Buildings such as temples and residential homes are spatially oriented by having the most sacred spaces closest to the mountain and the unclean places
nearest to the sea.[76][79]

Most temples have an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard which are arranged with the inner courtyard furthest
kaja. These spaces serve as performance venues since
most Balinese rituals are accompanied by any combination of music, dance and drama. The performances that
take place in the inner courtyard are classied as wali,
the most sacred rituals which are oerings exclusively for
the gods, while the outer courtyard is where bebali ceremonies are held, which are intended for gods and people.
Lastly, performances meant solely for the entertainment
of humans take place outside the walls of the temple and
are called bali-balihan. This three-tiered system of classication was standardised in 1971 by a committee of Balinese ocials and artists to better protect the sanctity of
the oldest and most sacred Balinese rituals from being
performed for a paying audience.[80]

As part of the Coral Triangle, Bali, including Nusa
Penida, oers a wide range of dive sites with varying
types of reefs.
Bali was the host of 2008 Asian Beach Games.[83] It was
the second time Indonesia hosted an Asia-level multisport event, after Jakarta held the 1962 Asian Games.

On June 2012, Subak, the irrigation system for paddy

IB Diploma Programme
For other uses, see Baccalaureate (disambiguation).

8.1 History and background

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year educational programme


primarily aimed at students aged 1619. The program
is one that provides an internationally accepted qualication for entry into higher education, and is accepted
by many universities worldwide. It was developed in the
early to mid-1960s in Geneva by a group of international
educators. Following a six-year pilot programme ending
in 1975, a bilingual diploma was established.

In 1948 the Conference of Internationally-minded


Schools asked the International School of Geneva (Ecolint) to create an international schools program.[3][4]
When he became director of Ecolints English division,
Desmond Cole-Baker began to develop the idea; and in
1962 his colleague Robert Leach organised a conference
in Geneva, at which the term International Baccalaureate was rst mentioned.[3][5] An American social studies
teacher, Leach organized the conferencewith a $2500
grant from UNESCOwhich was attended by observers
from European schools and UNESCO. Writing about
the genesis of the International Baccalaureate in Schools
Across Frontiers, Alec Peterson credits Leach as the
original promoter of the International Baccalaureate.[6]
At the end of the conference Unesco funded the International School Association with an additional $10,000
which was inadequate to do more than produce a few papers, or bring teachers together for meetings.[7]

Administered by the International Baccalaureate (IB), the


IBDP is currently taught in English, French or Spanish.
In order to participate in the IBDP, students must attend
an IB school. IBDP students complete assessments in six
subjects from the six dierent subject groups, and complete three core requirements. Subjects are assessed using both internal and external assessments, and courses
nish with an externally assessed series of examinations,
usually consisting of two or three timed written examinations. Internal assessment varies by subject (there may be
oral presentations, practical work, or written works) and
in most cases is initially graded by the classroom teacher,
whose grades are then veried or modied, as necessary,
by an appointed, external moderator.
Generally the IBDP has been well received. It has been
commended for introducing interdisciplinary thinking to
students. In the United Kingdom, The Guardian newspaper claims that the IBDP is more academically challenging and broader than three or four A-levels";[1] however, a
pledge to allow children in all areas to study the IBDP was
shelved amid concerns that a two-tier education system
was emerging as the growth in IB was driven by private
schools and sixth form college. In the United Kingdom,
students who take the IB with its six subjects, Extended
Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) component are sometimes
considered at a disadvantage to those who sit three Alevels, although universities have promised to change the
system. [2]

Chteau at Ecolint where IB was developed.

By 1964, international educators such as Alec Peterson


(Director of the Department of Education at Oxford University), Harlan Hanson (Director of the College Board
Advanced Placement Program), Desmond Cole (Director
of United Nations International School in New York) and
Desmond Cole-Baker (Head of the International School
of Geneva) founded the International Schools Examina-

tion Syndicate (ISES).[8][9] Cole and Hanson brought to
the group experience with college entrance examinations
in the United States, and Hanson, in particular brought
his experience from a long relationship with the College
Board, all of which were welcome additions.[9] According to Peterson, the breakthrough in the history of the
IB came in 1965 with a grant from the Twentieth Century Fund who commissioned Martin Mayer, author of
The Schools, to produce a report on the feasibility of
establishing a common curriculum and examination for
international schools, which would be acceptable for entry to universities world-wide.[7] This led to conferences
involving Ecolint, the United World College of the Atlantic (Atlantic College), and others in the spring and fall
of 1965, at which details about the curriculum for the
Diploma Programme were discussed and agreed upon.[7]

plementation of the IBDP to remain in the country rather
than being sent to Geneva.[15] The rst ocial guide to
the programme containing its syllabus and ocial assessment information, was published in 1970 and included
the theory of knowledge course. The extended essay was
introduced in 1978, but creativity, action, service (CAS),
although mentioned in guides beforehand, was not specifically identied in the guide until 1989.[7][16]

In 1980, responding to criticism that the internationalism was perceived as Eurocentric, the IB hosted a seminar in Singapore with the goal of incorporating Asian
culture and education into the IB curriculum. In 1982 the
Standing Conference of Heads of IB Schools took steps
to modify the Eurocentrism in the curriculum. The same
year the Japanese government also hosted a science conference for IBO as a token of Japanese interest in the

provide students with opportunities for personal

creative challenges, and awareness of themselves
as responsible members of their communities[24]
through participation in social or community work
(service), athletics or other physical activities (action), and creative activities (creativity). The guideline for the minimum amount of CAS activity over
the two-year Diploma programme is approximately
34 hours per week, though hour counting is not
encouraged.[24]

changed: the coursework is now more rigorous, and
at HL there is the compulsory study of two works of
literature (although this is for comprehension rather
than analysis and is only assessed through coursework.) In addition, B SL students can study one of
the texts as a replacement for the optional topics.
Group 3: Individuals and societies. Humanities and
social sciences courses oered at both SL and HL:
Business and management, Economics, Geography,
History, Information technology in a global society (ITGS), Philosophy, Psychology, and Social and
cultural anthropology.[29] The course World religions, the interdisciplinary course Environmental
Systems and Societies, and the pilot course Global
politics are also oered at SL only.

Subject groups
Students who pursue the IB Diploma must take six subjects, one from each of subject groups 15,[20] and either
one from group 6 or a permitted substitute from one of
the other groups, as described below.[25] Either three or
four subjects must be taken at Higher level (HL) and the
rest at Standard level (SL).[20] The IB recommends a minimum of 240 hours of instructional time for HL courses
and 150 hours for SL courses.[20]
While the IB encourages students to pursue the full IB
diploma, the substantial workload require a great deal of
commitment, organization, and initiative. If they wish,
students may instead choose to register for one or more
individual IB subjects, without the core requirements.
Such students will not receive the full Diploma.[26]
The six IBDP subject groups and course oerings are
summarised below. More information about the subject
groups and individual courses can be found at the respective subject group articles:
Group 1: Studies in language and literature. Taken
at either SL or HL, this is generally the students
native language, with over 80 dierent languages
available.[27] As of courses starting in summer 2011,
there are now two dierent options for Language
A (previously A1): Literature, which is very similar to the old course, and Language and Literature,
a slightly more challenging adaptation of the former group 2 Language A2 subjects which have been
withdrawn. The interdisciplinary subject Literature
and Performance can also be taken at SL.
Group 2: Language acquisition. An additional language, taken at the following levels: Language B (SL
or HL), or Language ab initio (SL only).[28] Latin
and Classical Greek are also oered and may be
taken at SL or HL.[27] Following the replacement
of the Language A2 option with the group 1 Language and Literature oering for courses starting
in summer 2011, the Language B syllabus has been

Group 4: Experimental sciences. Five courses are


oered at both SL and HL: Chemistry, Biology,
Physics, Design Technology and Computer Science.
The course Sport, Exercise and Health science and
the interdisciplinary course Environmental Systems
and Societies are oered at SL only.
Group 5: Mathematics. In order of increasing diculty, the courses oered are Mathematical Studies
SL, Mathematics SL and HL, and Further Mathematics SL and HL. The Computer science elective
courses were moved to group 4 as a full course from
rst examinations in 2014.[30]
Group 6: The arts. Courses oered at both SL
and HL: Dance, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and
Film.[31] In lieu of taking a Group 6 course, students may choose to take an additional course from
Groups 14 or either Further Mathematics HL (if
already studying Mathematics HL) a Computer science course from Group 5, or a school-based syllabus course approved by IB.[25][32] The interdisciplinary subject Literature and Performance is also
oered, although currently only at SL.
Environmental systems and societies SL is an interdisciplinary course designed to meet the diploma requirements
for groups 3 and 4, while Literature and Performance SL
meets the requirements of groups 1 and 6.[33]
Online Diploma Programme and pilot courses
The IB is developing a pilot online version of the IBDP
and currently oers several online courses to IBDP
students.[34] Eventually, the IB expects to oer their online courses to any student who wishes to register.[35]
Additionally, the IB has developed pilot courses that include world religions, sports, exercise and health sciences, dance, and a transdisciplinary pilot course, literature and performance.[33][36][37] These pilot courses have

8.3 Assessment and awards
candidate students.[49]
All subjects (with the exception of CAS) are assessed using both internal and external assessors. The externally
assessed examinations are given worldwide in May (usually for Northern Hemisphere schools) and in November
(usually for Southern Hemisphere schools). Each exam
usually consists of two or three papers, generally written on the same or successive weekdays.[43] The dierent papers may have dierent forms of questions, or they
may focus on dierent areas of the subject syllabus. For
example, in Chemistry SL, paper 1 has multiple choice
questions, paper 2 has extended response questions and
data analysis, and paper 3 focuses on the Option(s)" selected by the teacher. The grading of all external assessments is done by independent examiners appointed by the
IB.[44]
The nature of the internal assessment (IA) varies by subject. There may be oral presentations (used in languages),
practical work (in experimental sciences and performing
arts), or written work. Internal assessment accounts for
20 to 50 percent of the mark awarded for each subject and
is marked by a teacher in the school. A sample of at least
ve per subject at each level from a school will also be
graded by a moderator appointed by the IB, in a process
called external moderation of internal assessment. Based
on this moderation, the grades of the whole subject from
that school will change.[44]
Points are awarded from 1 to 7, with 7 being equal to A*,
6 equal to A, and so on. Up to three additional points
are awarded depending on the grades achieved in the extended essay and theory of knowledge, so the maximum
possible point total in the IBDP is 45.[45] The global pass
rate for the IB diploma is approximately 80%.[46] In order to receive an IB diploma, candidates must receive
a minimum of 24 points or an average of four (or C)
out of a possible seven points for six subjects. Candidates must also receive a minimum of 12 points from
their Higher Level subjects and a minimum of 9 points
from their Standard Level subjects. Additionally, candidates must complete all of the requirements for the EE,
CAS and TOK. Failing conditions that will prevent a student from being awarded a diploma, regardless of points
received, are non-completion of CAS, more than three
scores of 3 or below, not meeting the specic points required for Higher Level or Standard Level subjects, or
plagiarism.[47]
Candidates who successfully complete all the requirements of the IB Diploma Programme and one or more
of the following combinations are eligible to receive a
bilingual diploma: two Group 1 subjects (of dierent

Special circumstances
Where standard assessment conditions could put a student with special educational needs at a disadvantage,
special arrangements may be allowed. The Candidates
with Special Assessment Needs publication contains information regarding procedures and arrangements for students with special needs.[50]

8.4 Application and authorization


To oer the IB Diploma Programme, an institution must
go through an application process, and during that period
the teachers are trained in the IB. At the end of the application process, IB conducts an authorization visit.[51]
Once a school is authorized to oer the IBDP, an annual
fee ensures the school ongoing support from the IB, legal authorisation to display the IB logo and access to the
Online Curriculum Centre (OCC) and the IB Information System (IBIS).[51] The OCC provides information,
resources and support for IB teachers and coordinators.
IBIS is a database employed by IB coordinators.[52] Other
IB fees also include student registration and individual
Diploma subject examination fees.[51]

8.5 University recognition


The IB diploma is accepted in 75 countries at over 2000
universities, and the IB has a search directory on its website, although they advise students to check directly with
each university for the recognition policy.[53] The IB also
maintains a list of universities oering scholarships to
IBDP graduates under conditions specied by each higher
education institution, including 58 colleges and universities in the U.S.[54] The following is an overview of university recognition policies in various countries.
For the purposes of university admissions in Austria, the
IB diploma is considered a foreign secondary school leaving certicate, even if the IB school issuing the diploma
is located in the country. The admission decisions are
at the discretion of the higher education institutions.[55]
In Finland, the IB Diploma gives the same qualication
for matriculation as the national matriculation examination;[56] the core requirements dier very little although
the Finnish degree has more electives and languages are
a larger part of the nal grading. In France, the IBDP

8.6. RECEPTION
is one of the foreign diplomas which allow students access into French universities.[57] Germany sets certain
conditions for the IB diploma to be accepted (a foreign
language at minimum A2 Standard Level; Mathematics standard level minimum; Economics, Geography or
History as the Group 3 subject; and at least one Science or Mathematics at Higher Level).[58] German International Baccalaureate students in some schools are
able to earn a 'bilingual diploma' which gains them access to German universities; half of the classes in this
programme are held in German.[59] The Italian Ministry
of Education (Miur) recognises the IB diploma as academically equivalent to the national diploma, provided
the curriculum includes the Italian language and the particular IB programme is accepted for H.E.D. matriculation in Italy.[60] Spain deems the IB diploma to be academically equivalent to Titulo de bachillerato espaol.
Starting 1 June 2008, IB Diploma holders no longer need
to pass the University Entrance Examination to be admitted to Spanish Universities.[61] Turkish universities accept the IB diploma but all applicants are required by
law to take the university entrance examinations.[62] According to the IB, there are two universities in Russia
that ocially recognise the IB diploma subject to certain
guidelines. The Russian Ministry of Education considers the IB diploma issued by state-accredited IB schools
in Russia equivalent to the certicate of secondary (complete) general education (attestat).[63] In the United Kingdom, UCAS publishes a University entrance tari table
that converts IB and other qualications into standardised
Tari points[64] but this tari is not binding,[65] so institutions are free to set minimum entry requirements for
IB candidates that are not the same as those for A level.
Most universities in the UK will have much higher requirements for IB students than A-level students, requiring, for instance, four As and two Bs from an IB student,
whereas an A-level student will only need an ABB.

factorily completed the fourth year of high school in the
country.[72]
In Hong Kong, IB diploma students may apply to universities as non-JUPAS (Joint University Programmes Admissions System).[73] Currently the Peoples Republic of
China does not formally accept the IB diploma for university qualication.[74] In the 20082009 prospectus in
Singapore, the National University of Singapore (NUS)
accepts the IBDP as a high school qualication for Singapore universities. University requirements are as follows: 3 HL subjects with scores of 5 or better, 2 SL subjects with scores of 4 or better, and a grade of 4 or better
in English A, Standard Level.[75] In India, the Association of Indian Universities recognises the IBDP as an entry qualication to all universities in India provided that
the applicants include a document from the IB detailing
percentage equivalency and specic course requirements
for admission to medical and engineering programs are
satised.[76]

8.6 Reception

The IBDP was described as a rigorous, o-the-shelf


curriculum recognized by universities around the world
when it was featured in the December 10, 2006 edition
of Time magazine titled How to bring our schools out
of the 20th Century.[77] The IBDP was also featured in
the summer 2002 edition of American Educator, where
Robert Rothman described it as a good example of an
eective, instructionally sound, exam-based system.[78]
Howard Gardner, a professor of educational psychology
at Harvard University, said that the IBDP curriculum is
less parochial than most American eorts and helps
students think critically, synthesize knowledge, reect
on their own thought processes and get their feet wet in

IB Middle Years Programme


The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years
Programme (MYP) is an educational program intended
for students aged approximately 11 to 16 (grades 610
in International Schools, the United States, Canada, New
Zealand, Switzerland and Australia). Thus, in the United
States the program is often taught throughout the middle
school years and the rst two years of high school. Typically, middle schools and high schools work in coordination with each other when the program can not be entirely
hosted within one combined school. The full program
lasts 5 years although shorter programs can be adopted
with permission from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB). Ocial MYP documentation is available
from the IB in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese.

to organize their own student assessment and reporting


procedures. However, the MYP gives clear exit criteria
for each subject group for MYP 5 (grade 10).

9.1 Curricula framework

Schools can opt for external moderation so that students


may receive an IB MYP Certicate.

The program is based around ve 'areas of interaction':


approaches to learning (related to study skills), community and service, human ingenuity, environments, and
health and social education. The areas of interaction are
considered a key feature of the MYP. They are not generally taught as separate courses, but rather as themes that
are reected in all subjects through unit questions. The
community and service area requires students to study
and perform community studies and service throughout
the program.
In addition, in MYP 5, students complete a personal
project on a topic of their choice, with teacher supervision.

The subjects taught in the MYP are divided into nine sub- In order to get an MYP Certicate in MYP 5, the student
ject groups:[1]
must score at least a 2 in each subject and a 3 in Personal
Project. Moreover, the student must score at least a total
score of 36 out of 63 in 7 subjects (average of 4).
Language Acquisition
Language and Literature

9.1.1 Scoring System

Individuals and Societies

Physical and Health Education

In MYP, there are dierent criteria in dierent subject


groups. At the end of the year, the subject teacher will
have to give a nal score (not average) based on the performance throughout the whole year and decide a score
out of 7. From that, it is inferred that the nal year exam
does not take up a portion larger than the rest of the tasks
and tests and will not aect greatly on the decision of the
nal grade.

Personal Project

For example, the criteria of Science is

Mathematics

Sciences

Schools can choose the subjects they teach within each


subject group. However, each subject group must receive a minimum of 50 hours of curriculum time each
academic year. A student could take two or more Language A courses if they have sucient prociency in
both. Schools are given much exibility to allow them
to introduce subjects which they consider important, and

IB Primary Years Programme


The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an educational programme managed
by the International Baccalaureate (IB) for students aged
3 to 12.[1] While the programme prepares students for
the IB Middle Years Programme, it is not a prerequisite
for it. The subject areas of the PYP are language, social
studies, mathematics, science and technology, arts, and
personal, social and physical education. Students are required to learn a second language during the programme.
Assessment is carried out by teachers according to strategies provided by the IB, and with respect to guidelines to
what the students should learn specied in the curriculum
model.

based best practice educational framework for international schools. This group formed the International
Schools Curriculum Project which received funding from
original member schools and through the IBO from Shell
Oil's international education division. After several years
of development and increasing popularity the founding
group decided to hand the project over to the IBO for
management and continuing development.)

10.3 Educational philosophy

10.1 Mission statement

The philosophy of the PYP is to make the students


into inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk takers,
knowledgeable, principled, caring, open-minded, wellbalanced, and reective.[3]

The mission statement of the International Baccalaureate


is as follows:

10.4 Learner prole

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring


young people who help to create a better and
more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end, the
IB works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and
rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become
active, compassionate, and lifelong learners
who understand that other people, with their
dierences, can also be right.[2]

There are 10 attributes in the IB learner prole. PYP


documents describe the PYP student prole as the common ground on which PYP schools stand, the essence of
what they are about (Making the PYP Happen, 2000).
Through the programmes the students should develop
these traits. These traits originated in the PYP where it
was called the PYP student proe, but since the practitioners thought learning shouldn't come to a stop at age
11, they carried these attributes through to the completion
of the diploma programmes; therefore, its now called the
IB Learner Prole. The learner prole illustrates the
qualities of an internationally minded person and a life
long learner.
From the International Baccalaureate Organization 2007:
Participant Workbook, Introduction to the PYP, the following is what IB learners strive to be:

10.2 History
The programme was created by a group of international
school educators (Kevin Bartlett of the Vienna International School, Paul Lieblich of Lyford Cay International
School, Robert Landau of the Commonwealth American
School of Lausanne, Susan Stengal of the Copenhagen International School and Peter Harding of the International
School Hamburg, who wished to create a non-national

10.5 Transdisciplinary themes


In the IBPYP the written curriculum is arranged within
six transdisciplinary themes. While the themes are universal and applicable to all cultures, the expectation is that
there are certain core values, skills and knowledge for international schools, students and educators. For example,
the international school curriculum should have global
signicancefor all students in all cultures.
Who we are: An inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and
spiritual health; human relationships including families,
friends, communities, and cultures; rights and responsibilities; what it means to be human.
Where we are in place and time: An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and
journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of
humankind; the relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and
global perspectives.
How we express ourselves: An inquiry into the ways
in which we discover and express ideas, feelings, nature,
culture, beliefs and values; the ways in which we reect
on, extend and enjoy our creativity; our appreciation of
the aesthetic.
How the world works: An inquiry into the natural world
and its laws; the interaction between the natural world
(physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientic principles; the

on the detailed analysis of the works in terms of both
content and technique of writing. This part aims to
encourage close reading and in-depth analysis of signicant elements in each work. Works are chosen
from the prescribed list of authors (PLA) and are
of dierent literary genres and dierent authors (at
HL one of the works must be poetry). Knowledge
of this part is assessed through the individual oral
commentary.

group 1 and group 2 subject), or complete a group 3 or 4
subject that is of a dierent language of the group 1 subject taken by the candidate, are eligible to be awarded a
bilingual IB Diploma on the condition that the candidate
obtains a level 3 or greater in both subjects.[2]

Part 3: Literary genres (SL: 3 works, 40 hours; HL:

and another on style. HL candidates are assessed for
their exploration of the various literary aspects and
how their eects are achieved.
Paper 2: Essay (25 marks weighing 25% of the
course, 1 hour and 30 minutes for SL, 2 hours for
HL) - Candidates write a comparative essay based
on one of the three essay questions given for the literary genre studied in part 3 of the course. Responses
must be based on at least two works from this part,
but reference can be made from one of the works
studied in part 2 as well. Candidates will not have
access to the works studied.
Written assignment (25 marks weighing 25% of the
course) - Candidates submit a 1200 to 1500-word
analytical literary essay on a topic generated by the
candidate, based on a work studied in part 1. This is
done in 4 stages - the interactive oral (journal writing
for self-taught candidates), the reective statement,
topic development and the production of the essay.
The journal writing (for self-taught candidates) and
reective statement, of 300-400 words, is also submitted for assessment.

Individual oral presentation (30 marks weighing
15% of the course, 10 to 15 minutes) - Candidates
prepare and deliver a presentation based on a part 4
work or works studied (self-taught students must use
two of the works). Candidates can choose a topic
on their own personal interest based on any aspect
of the work(s) chosen. The presentation can be in
the form of a standard analysis or a creative activity (this requires a rationale). The presentation can
be created in pairs or small groups, but each candidate must present individually. This component
is not recorded or submitted (except for self-taught
students, where both the recording and notes in point
form are submitted for external assessment) and is
moderated through the individual oral commentary.
Internal assessment accounts for the remaining 30% of
the nal grade of the course.

Language A: language and literature is a new


course for rst examinations 2013, intended to replace
the Language A2 course in group 2. The main aim of the
course is to encourage students to question the meaning
generated by language and texts, which, it can be argued,
is rarely straightforward and unambiguous. The course
is available at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level
(HL). The course is currently only available in 17 languages.

11.2.1 Syllabus
The course is divided into four parts - two of language
and two of literature.
Part 1: Language in cultural context (SL: 40 hours,
HL: 60 hours) - This part explores how language develops in specic cultural contexts, its impact on the
world and how it forms individual and group identity. It enables candidates to investigate the role of
language in relation to many areas involved in the
construction of meaning and understanding of particular issues in the world. Some topics that can
be explored in this part are gender issues, sexuality, communities, individual identity, power, history
of the language, translation, science and technology,
social relations, beliefs and taboos.
Part 2: Language and mass communication (SL: 40
hours, HL: 60 hours) - This part emphasizes on the
exploration of the use of language in the media, including newspapers, magazines, the internet, mobile telephony, radio and lm. It also discusses how
the creation and reception of texts is inuenced by
its delivery medium. Some topics that can be explored in this part are bias, stereotypes, popular culture, speeches and campaigns, government administration, media institutions, editing, persuasive language and entertainment.
Part 3: Literature texts and contexts (SL: 2 texts,

IB Group 2 subjects
The Group 2: Language acquisition (previously Second Language) subjects of the IB Diploma Programme
consist of the nearly 80 additional languages oered and
may be studied at the following levels: B (SL or HL),
or ab initio (SL only).[1] Latin and Classical Greek are
also oered and may be taken at SL or HL.[1] To earn
an IB Diploma, a candidate must study an additional language, though a second Language A may be taken instead
of studying that language as a Group 2 subject.[1]

For the oral and written components of the assessments,


students receive marks based on their level of competency in use of language, presentation and communication skills.[4]
For reading comprehension, students receive a grade
based on a markscheme (answer key) for questions
that are multiple-choice, short-answer, true/false/justify,
matching and extended response.[4]

Curriculum
Curriculum
For students to achieve communicative competence in
a variety of situations, the following core topics are explored in the Language ab initio course: the individual,
education and work, town and services, food and drink,
leisure and travel, the environment, health and emergencies. The language skills that are taught and assessed
are: listening, reading, writing, speaking and cultural
awareness.[2]

Students study a variety of topics such as the environment, famous people, current and historical events, immigration, music, art, cuisine, fashion, lm, etc. to develop their skills in listening, reading, writing, speaking
and cultural interaction. Types of texts studied include:
news stories, short stories, brochures, advertisements, poems, informal and formal letters, excerpts from plays, editorials, debates, reviews and interviews.[7]

Curriculum
The Languages A2 were studied through Cultural Options
and Literary Options, both of which must be included by
the teacher in the two-year IB course. Study at the A2
level was available in a signicantly lower number of languages than at other levels. Many bilingual institutions
supplemented their regular curriculum with an English
A2 certication.
Assessment
Internal Assessment for Language A2 consisted of two
oral components, in the same way as for language A1.
External Assessment for Language A2 consisted of paper 1, the Comparative Commentary, where the students
write a commentary that compares the two previously unseen texts that appear in the exam. Paper 2 is an essay on
either a Cultural or a Literary Option. In addition, students produced two Written Tasks of 10001500 words

There are three assessment components at SL and four at
HL.
External assessment
Paper 1 (60 marks weighing 40% of the course for
SL and 25% for HL, 1 hour 30 minutes) - Both SL
and HL candidates sit the same paper assessing their
knowledge on the core theme.
Section A (45 marks; questions 1-4) consists
of four compulsory short-answer questions,
one on each of the four topics in the theme.
Command terms indicate the depth of the answer required (e.g. evaluate indicates that
more depth is required than dene).
Section B (15 marks; questions 5-7) consists
of three extended response questions that require more in-depth treatment than in Section
A, and are required to answer one. Questions
are based on the core theme but may link with
the optional themes as well.
Paper 2 (40 marks at SL and 60 marks at HL, both
weighed to 35%, 1 hour 20 minutes at SL, 2 hours at
HL) - This paper assesses knowledge on the optional
themes studied. Essentially, SL and HL students sit
the same paper except that SL candidates answer
two questions and HL candidates answer three from
the themes studied, for 20 marks each. The paper
consists of 14 questions, two on each theme, and
may also come with a resources booklet for certain
questions. Each question has at least three parts earlier parts are short-answer questions which may
or may not require depth. The last part is a 10-mark
extended response question which more depth is required.
Paper 3 (HL only: 25 marks weighing 20% of the
course, 1 hour) - HL candidates are assessed on the
HL extension in this paper, but knowledge of the
core theme is assumed. Students choose one question to answer out of a choice of three. Each question has two parts worth 10 and 15 marks respectively. Both parts require essay-length and in-depth

Internal assessment
Fieldwork (30 marks weighing 25% of the course
for SL and 20% for HL, 20 hours) - All candidates
are required to complete a eldwork investigation
based on one or more themes in the syllabus and
write a 2500-word report based on the collection of
primary data, processing the data and evaluating the
eldwork. Secondary data may be collected but only
play a smaller part in the eldwork. Reports are
marked according to seven criteria by the teacher
and then sent for external moderation. The report
demands the same from both SL and HL.

IB Group 4 subjects
The Group 4 (or experimental sciences) subjects of the
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme comprise the main scientic emphasis of this internationally recognized high school programme. They consist
of seven courses, ve of which are oered at both the
Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL): Chemistry,
Biology, Physics, Design Technology, and, as of August 2012, Computer Science (previously a group 5 elective course) is oered as part of the Group 4 subjects.[1]
There are also two SL only courses: a transdisciplinary
course, Environmental Systems and Societies, that satises Diploma requirements for Groups 3 and 4,[2] and
Sports, Exercise and Health Science (previously, for last
examinations in 2013, a pilot subject[3] ). Astronomy also
exists as a school-based syllabus, particularly exciting if
taken alongside Physics. Students taking two or more
Group 4 subjects may combine any of the aforementioned.

options are usually chosen by the school (based on the


schools scientic facilities as well as the discretion of the
instructor). Students spend one-quarter of the 150 hours
of SL instruction (240 hours for HL; however, both numbers are merely recommendations and are not enforced)
doing practical work in the laboratory. Group 4 subjects
at the Standard Level are tailored for students who do not
see themselves in further science instruction after leaving
the programme.[6]

The Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Design Technology


courses will be updated for rst teaching in September
2014, with syllabus updates (including a decrease in the
number of options), a new internal assessment component
similar to that of the Group 5 (mathematics) explorations,
and a new concept-based approach dubbed the nature
of science. A new, standard level-only course will also
be introduced to cater to candidates who do not wish to
further their studies in the sciences, focusing on important
concepts in Chemistry, Biology and Physics.[4][5]

Paper 3 free response questions on the options


(24% at SL, 20% at HL)
At the Standard Level, the examinations are respectively
45 minutes, 1 hour and 15 minutes, and 1 hour long. At
the Higher Level, they are 1 hour, 2 hours and 15 minutes, and 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Calculators are not
permitted for Paper 1, but they (as well as a provided formula booklet and periodic table) are permitted for papers
2 and 3.

14.1 Structure and assessment

14.2 Physics (20092015)

Assessment of a Group 4 subject comprises the following:

CHAPTER 14. IB GROUP 4 SUBJECTS

Chapter 15

IB Group 5 subjects
The Group 5 (or Mathematics) subjects of the
IB Diploma Programme consist of four dierent
mathematics courses.[1] To earn an IB Diploma, a candidate must pass one of the following three mathematics courses: Mathematical Studies SL (Standard Level),
Mathematics SL or Mathematics HL (Higher Level).[2]
Further Mathematics HL can be taken as an elective in
addition to Mathematics HL. The Computer science SL
and HL courses, which were elective courses in group 5,
is, for rst examinations in 2014, a full course in group
4.[2]

15.1 Mathematical Studies SL


15.1.1

Curriculum

The Mathematical Studies SL course is designed to build


condence and encourage an appreciation of mathematics in students who do not expect mathematics to be a
major component of their university studies.[3] Its curriculum consists of the following topics:[4]

The details for the external assessment exams, both of


which evaluate a students knowledge of the entire curriculum, are outlined in the table[6] below.

15.2 Mathematics SL and HL


15.2.1 Core curriculum for Mathematics
SL and HL
Mathematics SL is primarily intended for students who
expect to need a sound mathematical background as they
prepare for future studies in subjects such as chemistry,
economics and business,[7] and its curriculum is a proper
subset of the Mathematics HL curriculum. Topics from
the following areas form the common Core curriculum
for both courses:[8][9]
Algebra
Functions and equations
Circular functions and trigonometry

Number and algebra

Vectors

Sets, logic, and probability

Statistics and probability

Functions

Calculus

Geometry and trigonometry


Statistics

In Mathematics SL, students are provided a minimum of


140 instructional hours on the topics from the Core.[10]

Introductory dierential calculus


Financial mathematics

15.1.2

15.2.2 Additional requirements for Mathematics HL

Assessment

The internal assessment for this course comprises 20%


of the nal mark and consists of a project that is an individual piece of work involving the collection of information or the generation of measurement.[5] The project
is intended to make up 20 hours of the overall classroom
time for the course.[5]

Mathematics HL is primarily intended for students with


a good background in mathematics who are competent
in a range of analytical and technical skills,[11] and who
anticipate that mathematics will be a major component
of their university studies, either as a subject in its own
right or within courses such as physics, engineering and
technology.[11] Therefore HL students study the Core

dents nal mark. The project is intended to comprise a
combined total of 10 hours of the overall classroom time
for both courses.[14][15]

15.2.3

Assessment

The table[16][17] below outlines the external assessment


requirements for both courses:
In both courses, the Paper 1 and Paper 2 exams test
students only on their knowledge of topics from the
Core.[16][18] In Mathematics HL, the Paper 3 exam tests
students specically on their knowledge of the material
from the Option selected by the school.[19] As of the May
2008 examinations, schools are required to register students for a specic Option in advance and the school is
now provided only the examination paper for the registered Option.[20] In order for a student to be awarded full
marks for an answer on any of the Mathematics SL or HL
exams, accurate work must be shown.[21][22]

15.5 Use of calculators on IB mathematics external assessments

Students are permitted and expected to use a graphic display calculator (GDC) on some or all of their IB mathematics exams, depending on which course the student
takes. Noting again that calculators are not permitted on
the Paper 1 exam for both Mathematics SL and HL,[31]
the IB oers the following guidance with regards to required GDC functionality on mathematics exams:
A GDC with the following minimum
functionalities is required on all other papers:
draw graphs with any viewing window

15.3 Further Mathematics HL


15.3.1

Curriculum

The Further Mathematics HL course (SL before 2014)[23]


is designed for students with a high degree of competence
and interest in mathematics, and who intend to study
mathematics at university, either as a subject in its own
right or as a major component of a related subject.[24]
Students who take this course most often also take Mathematics HL[25] and knowledge of all material from the
Core curriculum of Mathematics HL is necessary and
presumed, as well as knowledge of at least one of the
four Options oered in Mathematics HL.[24] The curriculum for Further Mathematics SL includes all of the topics from all four of these Options,[26] for which 144 hours
of instruction are allotted,[27] and additional topics from
geometry and linear algebra,[28] for which 96 hours of instruction are allotted.[27] There are no optional topics in
Further Mathematics HL.[27]

solve equations numerically


add and multiply and nd inverse matrices
nd a numerical derivative at a point

nd p values (not required for mathematics SL).
Examiners will set questions assuming that all
candidates have a GDC with the minimum
functionalities listed here. Candidates using
only four-function or scientic calculators, or
a less able GDC will be at a disadvantage.[31]
All other types of calculators (such as those found on
phones, watches, or PDAs, or those equipped with a
Computer Algebra System (CAS)) are prohibited on
all IB exams.[31] To be approved for use on IB exams,

CHAPTER 15. IB GROUP 5 SUBJECTS

Chapter 16

IB Group 6 subjects
The Group 6 (or The Arts) subjects of the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme consist of ve
courses at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level
(HL): Dance, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Film.[1]
The transdisciplinary course Literature and Performance
(satisfying the requirements of Groups 1 and 6) is also
available at Standard Level.[2] Students seeking the IB
Diploma may substitute courses from the other ve
Subject Groups instead of taking a Group 6 course (see
below). A school-based syllabus devised by an IB World
School, as approved and externally moderated by the IB,
may also form the basis for a course taken in place of a
Group 6 course.[3]

which lasts 3 hours for HL candidates and 2 hours 15 minutes for SL candidates. HL and SL candidates answer
two questions from section A (study of two prescribed
works), of which one MUST be a comparison between
the two prescribed works. HL and SL candidates are also
required to complete Section B of the exam, which is aural analysis of four previously unheard extracts, of which
two are named, and one has a score provided. Two candidates are unnamed and do not have a score provided. HL
only candidates must also complete section C, a comparison of two extracts from section B. Section A responses
must be written in essay form. Responses in sections B
and C may be in bullet points.
Further details of the course can be found in the IB Music
Wikibook.

16.1 Music SL & HL


IB Music can be taken at either the standard level (SL)
or higher level (HL). For both levels of IB Music the
candidate must conduct a musical investigation. This requires research of two completely dierent musical genres with comparable qualities (e.g. Tuvan throat singing
and Baroque opera). The information will then be presented in the form of a media script which will be assessed externally.

16.2 Theater SL and HL

According to the new syllabus introduced in 2009, the


IB Theater Arts programme is made out of four components; two are internally assessed and two are externally
assessed. The internal assessments are the Theater Performance and Production Presentation (TPPP) and the
Independent Project Portfolio (IPP). The external comThere are three paths in which the IB Music SL course ponents are a Practical Performance Proposal (PPP) and

For the PPP, the student has to adopt a directorial perspective and write a concept for a play using one of the
prescribed stimuli. For SL, it contains a 250-word pitch
and explanatory, visual material that illustrates the students understanding of the intended process of realization. For HL, it also includes a 1,000-1,250 word rationale.
The RI is a research essay in which the student presents
his or her research on a previously unfamiliar theater
practice. From the chosen theater practice, students
should choose a specic aspect of a play or theater piece
and create a research question to answer. Students research should contribute to a realization of the play or
theater piece from their chosen theatrical practice. The
practice cannot be studied in class and must be no later
than the 19th century. The question must be taken from
a directorial, actor, or designer perspective. For SL, the
essay must be 1,500-1,750 words with visual documentation and/or textual references. For HL, the essay must
be 2,000-2,500 words with visual documentation and/or
textual references. At HL, students must also write a critique of the sources in the research investigation.

For the nal assessment, either the studio work or the investigation work book can be assessed externally. With
60% of the nal grade being placed on that which is externally assessed, and the remaining 40% on the internal
assessment.

16.4 Film SL and HL


IB Film can be taken at either the standard level (SL) or
higher level (HL). For both levels of IB Film, the candidate must research and write an Independent Study, do
a Practical Project and give an oral presentation, based
on the close analysis of a 5 minute extract from a lm
prescribed by the IBO.
The Independent Study is a research project that must be
presented in the form of a Documentary Script, in which
the candidate undertakes an individual investigation based
on a topic of lm history or theory. At SL, it should focus
on a minimum of 2 lms from dierent cultures, whereas
at HL, it should focus on at least 4 lms from dierent
cultures. It is marked externally.
The Practical Project takes the form of a short lm (4
5 minutes at SL and 67 minutes at HL) and a production portfolio and rationale about the work undertaken.
The candidate must focus on one of ve production roles:
Director, Writer, Cinematographer, Editor or Sound Designer. Additionally, at HL, the candidate must produce
an individual trailer of his or her lm. (45 seconds-1
minute long). It is marked internally and moderated externally.

There are two areas of focus in the IB Visual Arts subject.


The rst is studio (practical work) and the second is the
research workbook (known as the Investigation Workbook). The Visual Art program aims to teach the student
about design, structure and the aesthetic development of The Oral Presentation should focus on a 5-minute extract

Extended essay
The extended essay (EE) is a mandatory core component of the IB Diploma Programme. It is a research
paper of up to 4,000 words giving students an opportunity to conduct independent research or investigation on
a topic that interests them.[1] Like the theory of knowledge (TOK) essay, TOK presentation and participation
in creativity, action, service activities, submitting an extended essay is a prerequisite for award of the Diploma.

total with the candidate discussing the EE. Some schools


allow their students to choose a supervisor from outside
their school, provided that the student appoint a teacher
from inside the school to handle required administrative
paperwork (such as anti-plagiarism policies).

17.3 Assessment

17.1 Recommended subjects


Although the extended essay may be written on a topic of
the students choice, it is recommended that it be taken
from the eld of one of the IB subjects being studied (e.g.
the essay may be about a book that has not been studied as
part of IB English).[2] However, the topic must not be too
broad or too narrow as to make it dicult to write 4,000
words, and the general subject must be taught under the
IB diploma program by one of the members of sta at the
high school (so that there is someone with expertise able
to help). The subject (not topic) on which the extended
essay is written is recommended to be one that the candidate has formally studied, but this is not required. Also,
the EE may not be written across dierent subjects it
must concentrate on one subject only, unless the student
is writing under the World Studies topic. However, some
subjects include several disciplines, with an emphasis towards one. An example is the subject Societies, which
can include chemistry, biology, psychology, etc. generally with an emphasis toward one discipline.

17.2 Supervision
The supervisor provides the student with assistance in
putting together their EE, including guiding them in nding a suitable research question and on how to acquire the
necessary resources to complete the research (such as a
specic resource materialoften hard-to-nd documents
or booksor laboratory equipment). The supervisor may
suggest improvements to a version of the EE, but must
not be engaged in writing it. The IBO recommends that
the supervisor spend approximately two to three hours in

Points available from extended essay and TOK grades

Extended essays are marked by external assessors (examiners appointed by the IB) on a scale of 0 to 36. There are
general and subject-specic criteria, at a ratio of 2:1
(24 possible marks for the general criteria and 12 marks
for the subject-specic one). The total mark is converted
into a grade from A to E. A similar system is used for
theory of knowledge and students can gain up to 3 points
for the diploma based on the grades achieved for EE and
TOK. Prior to the class of 2010, a diploma candidate
could receive a failing grade in either the extended essay
or theory of knowledge and still be awarded a diploma.
However, if a student scores an E on either the extended
essay or TOK essay post-2010, he or she will only be eligible to receive an IB diploma if 28 points are achieved
overall.[3]

Theory of knowledge (IB course)


Theory of knowledge is a course in the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme which is, in essence,
similar to epistemology courses oered at many universities.

18.1 Course description


Unlike standard academic disciplines, the Theory of
Knowledge course uses a process of discovering and sharing students views on issues (an umbrella term for everything that can be approached from a TOK point of
view), so there is no end to the valid questions that may
arise, there are many dierent ways to approach TOK,
the sheer scope of the TOK course is daunting and
teachers and students need the condence to go too far
outside their traditional comfort zones.[1] Teachers have
freedom to select a teaching methodology and course material that will convey the theoretical foundation of essential concepts, and may provide an environment in which
these concepts can be discussed and debated. The focus of the discussion should not be the dierentiation between right and wrong ideas, but on the quality of
justication and a balanced approach to the knowledge
claim in question.
The TOK course uses a combination, in no particular order (many entry points and sequences are possible):[2]

the issues to consider (e.g. How do you know


that the scientic method is a valid method of
gaining knowledge?", What is the reason for having historical knowledge, and how is it applied in
life?"). The IB originally had six areas of knowledge: mathematics, natural sciences, human sciences, history, the arts and ethics. In the fall of 2014,
the IB curriculum changed to include two more areas of knowledge: religious knowledge systems and
indigenous knowledge systems.
Factors that transcend individual ways of knowing
and areas of knowledge:
Nature of knowing: what are the dierences
between information, data, belief, faith, opinion, knowledge and wisdom?
Knowledge communities: what is taken for
granted in a community? How can we decide
which beliefs we ought to check further?
Knowers perspective and applications of
knowledge: how do age, education, culture
and experience inuence selection of sources
and formation of knowledge claims? If you
know something, or how to do something,
do you have a responsibility to use your
knowledge?

Justications of knowledge claims: why


Ways of knowing: (sense perception, reason,
should claims be assessed critically? Are
emotion, faith, imagination, intuition, memory, and
logic, sensory perception, revelation, faith,

the student, e.g. Reliability of media reporting of science, What makes something a work of art?" and the
presentation is expected to show why the topic is significant, linking it to relevant knowledge issues, discussing
those issues and examining the implications of approaching the question from dierent perspectives. Teachers
have wide latitude to help with topic selection and identifying suitable approaches. About ten minutes should be
allowed for each presenter, and almost any form is permitted (e.g. debates, games, skits, interviews etc.) except
reading an essay aloud.[11]

18.3 See also


Points available from extended essay and TOK grades

Theory of knowledge is assessed in two parts: an externally examined 1,2001,600 word essay and an internally assessed presentation.[5] Each part is scored using
assessment criteria (four criteria for the essay and four
for the presentation) that describe levels of achievement
(e.g. The inquiry explores knowledge issues. Most points
are justied; most arguments are coherent. Some counterclaims are considered. describes level 56 in one of
the essay criteria). The total score is converted into a
grade from A to E. A similar system is used for the
extended essay and students can gain up to 3 points for
the diploma based on the grades achieved for TOK and
EE. No diploma is awarded if a candidate fails to submit both a TOK essay and TOK presentation, or receives
grade E for both the extended essay and theory of knowledge.

Chapter 19

Creativity, action, service


Creativity, action, service (CAS) is a mandatory core
component of the IB Diploma Programme. It aims to
provide a 'counterbalance' to the academic rigour of the
educational programme. Before the 2010 examination
there was a 150 hour requirement, with an approximately
equal distribution of creativity, action, and service. This
was mainly done for two reasons: to ensure that students engage in meaningful activities and to decrease the
amount of CAS fraud (i.e. claiming hours which have
not been completed). Students are now expected to have
two CAS activities for each CAS category and students
need to prove that they are participating in CAS activities on a daily basis (though not necessarily all CAS categories each week). Moreover, students must have one
CAS project which spans more than three months and
bridges two CAS components e.g. creativity and service.
Finally one must prove that the CAS activities have resulted in the eight projected outcomes of the project (one
CAS activity can have multiple outcomes).

All the portions (creativity, action, and service) are


vaguely dened and should, according to the International
Baccalaureate Organisation, be interpreted as imaginatively as possible, so that a wide array of dierent activities can qualify for CAS. The learning outcomes and the
quality of the CAS activity are of utmost importance.

19.3 Documentation
While individual schools or regions have dierent methods of documentation, all require some form of proof or
the signature of the activity coordinator to be presented
after completion of the activity. Students must also personally keep track of their total records in either a log or
diary format.[3] This allows for students to monitor their
required hours and to present a coherent documentation
of their entire CAS experience.
CAS performance and records are documented by the
student using ocial forms (CAS/CP) that are submitted
to the IB regional oces at the beginning of the examination session.

19.1 CAS outcomes


Increase awareness of your strengths and areas for
growth

19.4 Assessment

Undertake new challenges


Plan and initiate activities

CAS is internally assessed. However, IBO can ask for a


number of random samples to be submitted. A failure to
complete and provide evidence for completion is considered a failing condition for the entire Diploma (although
candidates are given another year to nish their CAS program if they fail, and if they complete it in this time they
will receive their diploma).

Work collaboratively with others


Show perseverance and commitment
Engage with issues of global importance
Consider ethical implications
Develop new skills[1]

19.5 Termination
19.2 CAS aims

19.6 Footnotes

The function of CAS is to allow IB schools the opportunity to give students the means to learn through experience [and] how to take actions in the service of others.[2]
