1. Course outline

– Use the following table to organize the topics to be taught in the course. Add as many rows as you need.

– This document should not explain the day-to-day life of each unit. This is an outline that should show how topics and time will be distributed so that students
are prepared to meet the course requirements.

– This outline should show how the teaching of the course will unfold. It should reflect the individual characteristics of the classroom course and not be limited
to “copy and paste” from the TOK guide.

2. Links with Diploma Program teachers

As the TOK guide indicates, the IB requires all Diploma Program teachers to be familiar with TOK, as they must make links to TOK questions in their own subjects. They may also
suggest some theoretical concerns that can be explored further in the TOK class. In this context, how do you plan to work with your colleagues so that TOC is a true link between all
of them?

A “Classroom” has been created to share the course activities that students carry out with teachers from other areas, and they have been invited to
carry out the activities that correspond to their areas.
In addition, the knowledge questions specified in the course guide regarding their areas have been shared in this same virtual environment.
The pre-written titles will also be shared with the students who have chosen them with the areas to work on, it is expected that they will have the
opportunity to discuss the evidence or examples that they are going to use in their essays, it will allow teachers to understand the dimension of the
course in matter of analysis, argumentation and counterargument when dealing with knowledge questions.
In the level coordination meetings (teachers who teach in the first and second year) spaces are offered to discuss questions about the development of
the subject, as well as doubts that are generated from the interaction of the students in the development of their essays.
In the month of September we will have the oral presentation of the chosen question with the objects in the framework of an activity that we call
“Open Doors” with the presence of teachers of the subjects of the diploma program and teachers of lower grades, as well as students of different
grades and parents.
3. TOK assessment components

Briefly explain how and when you will work on them. Include the date you first present the assessment components to your students. Explain the different stages
and deadlines and how students will be prepared to complete them.

In the first year we have the presentation of the evaluation process in the month of March. Here we observe the guidelines, objectives and evaluation
of the oral presentation and the essay
First year: Oral Presentation
May, first oral presentation interaction, to review the selection of the question, the objects, and the ideas that relate the objects to the selected
question.
July, second oral presentation interaction, review of the analysis of the objects, evaluation and self-assessment based on the evaluation criteria
September, third oral presentation interaction, evaluation and qualification of the oral presentation document. Organization and implementation of
the oral presentation.
Second year: Essay
March, receipt and unpacking of the titles. First interaction: Understanding the titles and reviewing the examples or evidence
May, second interaction: draft review and feedback
July, third interaction: review and feedback on the completed essay, ensuring academic honesty.
August, final delivery of the essay
4. Approaches to learning

All IB subjects should contribute to the development of students' approaches to learning skills. To give an example of how you would do this, choose a course
outline topic that allows students to specifically develop one or more of the skill categories (social, thinking, communication, self-management, and research).

Issue Contribution to the development of students' approaches to learning skills (including one or more skill categories)
Recognize one's own deficits in the use of digital tools and develop strategies to improve.
Knowledge and language Share your own problem-solving strategies with others.
Find, evaluate and use effective digital learning opportunities.
Organize a personal system of your own digital networked learning resources.
Plan, design, present, publish or share a production in various formats.

Critical production
Exhibition- Personal presentation
Reflection and summary sheets
Briefcase
Develop relational schemas and analysis
Research, self-management, social, thinking and communication skills
5. International mentality

All IB subjects must contribute to the development of an international mindset in students. To give an example of how you would do this, choose a topic from the
course outline that allows students to analyze it from different cultural perspectives. Briefly explain why you choose that topic and what resources you would use to
achieve this goal.

Issue Contribution to the development of IB learner profile attributes

natural Sciences
The pandemic caused by Covid 19 and climate change provide us with good tools to deal with international mentality.
Regarding the subject of study of natural sciences in knowing the universe and in this case, two topics that are affecting all
realities, it is possible to observe the need to agree on efforts to understand these phenomena that affect all societies.
The way these two issues are approached from different perspectives allows us to understand the actions that are carried
out around them, such as the understanding and use of different methods and tools, to know them and to mitigate them.
Furthermore, the perspectives, methods and tools used as the objectives to be known depend largely on the ethical
responsibilities inherent in each individual or group of individuals in each society.
So, the recognition that there are different perspectives on knowledge and these depend on the individual's own point of
view of the space that the individual occupies on the planet allows us to contribute to international mentality.
6. Development of the IB learner profile

It is also expected that, through the subjects, students will develop the attributes of the IB learner profile. To give an example of how you would do this, choose a
topic from the course outline and explain how the content and related skills would foster the development of your chosen IB learner profile attributes.

Issue Contribution to the development of IB learner profile attributes

Knowledge and policy: Scope Our students differentiate belief from evidence when trying to answer: What do we think we know about politics? And
how do you differentiate what politics is from what it is not? Promoting inquiry and being well informed and instructed,
the basis for being able to develop their coherent and credible point of view that allows them to prepare presentations
with a good basis on what they are communicating.
The decisions respond, among other factors, to utilitarianism and are contextualized within politics, the possibility of
exploring whether are all decisions political? It will allow them to open their minds to different possibilities of decisions
and doing politics and on the other hand the question: In what ways is factual evidence used, distorted, dismissed and
sometimes ignored in politics? It offers the opportunity to relate the inquiry with the desire to know the facts in depth
to give a logical meaning to the events.
We know that advances in scientific knowledge trigger political controversies, from being uninformed to having
privileged information, which allows us to reflect on the commitment we have to ensure equity in the management of
information as well as the commitment to influence, through technology, positively in the lives of others.
Finally, our students have a learning diary, which allows them to evaluate learning experiences, inside and outside of
class, as well as, and it is possible, with the request for support from the teacher, to understand their strengths and
weaknesses when communicating their ideas.
