  • "Learning and teaching in the IB grows from an understanding of education that celebrates the many ways people work together to construct meaning and make sense of the world. The inquiry process supports the development of international mindedness. Represented as the interplay between asking (inquiry), thinking (reflection) and doing (action), this constructivist inquiry process leads towards open classrooms where different views and perspectives are valued. This process is the basis of the design and implementation of learning and teaching in all IB programmes."

  • "The learner profile attributes and the approaches to learning (ATL) provide the foundational skills and dispositions for the development of international mindedness and other dimensions of internationalmindedness. An internationally minded learner: 
  • is a competent communicator 
  • is open-minded and knowledgeable 
  • is a caring and principled thinker
  • uses his or her curiosity and research skills to inquire about the world
  • thinks and reflects critically about opportunities and challenges
  • takes action for positive changes (for example, to promote intercultural understanding, foster caring relationships, to care for self and others)
  • takes risks to further self-development and understanding of others

  • The development and demonstration of international-mindedness is complex and nuanced. While there is no single formula for supporting internationally minded development, a 2017 IB-commissioned research project
    examining how IB World Schools conceptualize and implement international-mindedness identified promising practices.

    The study found that IB schools demonstrate international-mindedness based on two interrelated concepts:
    • “reaching out”, to consider how we interact with others
    • “reaching in”, to understand ourselves in relation to others.
    More importantly, schools in the study considered international-mindedness as a journey rather than an end point. This journey is a constant process of defining, learning, acting, reflecting and redefining. Similar to the programme of inquiry in the PYP, the process of developing international-mindedness is seen as being more important than the product.

  • p. 20 states " The aim of all IB programmes is for students to develop and demonstrate international-mindedness. It is a multifaceted concept that captures a way of thinking, being and acting." 
  • This makes me wonder if instead of reporting on the development of the Learner Profile, we might now need to report on International Mindedness and we might encounter similar hurdles with this being quite subjective and abstract since it is a concept.
