And do we need to define the prompt? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1415336542 2021-04-14 07:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1415336542 Is this an independent piece of work, can we work in twos? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431085013 2021-04-19 01:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431085013 When answering the essay title, should our answers contain two areas of knowledge frameworks or only one? which one would be more ideal? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431099120 2021-04-19 02:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431099120 Would it be alright to use an object that was mentioned in the textbook? (I want to write about the photograph of the galaxies from the Hubble space telescope on the topic of theory laden facts and knowledge constraints) aileenbaiyang1 https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431132626 2021-04-19 02:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431132626 One IA prompt consists of the term "material tools"— however, is this strictly limited to physical entities that produce measurements or observations? Can virtual technology be accepted (for example, search engines?) https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431138659 2021-04-19 02:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431138659 Does ethics count as an area of knowledge? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431156114 2021-04-19 02:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431156114 How many WOK do we need to link our objects to? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431157497 2021-04-19 02:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1431157497 Are we allowed to do 2 similar objects (ie: both objects are paintings but from different artists?) https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1433154424 2021-04-19 13:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1433154424 If I want to use a PhD degree as an object but I want to talk about how the knowledge you gain from a PhD varies in their usefulness depending on what kind of PhD degree you get. (My prompt is: Are some types of knowledge more useful than others?) But I heard that you need to be every specific with your object, would this still be possible? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436193546 2021-04-20 04:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436193546 Is it ok if my "justification of inclusion of object into exhibition" is only 1 line? I included the 3 of my objects because they bring 3 different points to answering my prompt, but wouldn't the elaboration overlap with "linking object with prompt"? minnietse2 https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436571935 2021-04-20 06:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436571935 Is it ok for me to consider the implications behind the prompt? (eg my prompt is "Why do we seek knowledge" and in my paragraph I'll elaborate on the strengths and problems that arise from seeking knowledge in that way?) minnietse2 https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436579396 2021-04-20 06:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436579396 In the TOK textbook it is recommended that we have a concluding paragraph. What should we put in the concluding paragraph? minnietse2 https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436593360 2021-04-20 06:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436593360 My prompt: Can new knowledge change established views or beliefs? Question: Would it be better for me to use an example where there is a definitive answer e.g. new knowledge CAN/ CANNOT change established views or beliefs, or where the answer depends on some conditions e.g. situations where perfectly logical, cogent evidence is presented in contradiction to an established view that is equally well-justified (in cases like these whether this new knowledge can change one's belief depends on factors such as open-mindedness/ one’s status in a knowledge community and so forth)? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436840272 2021-04-20 08:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436840272 If my prompt is “what counts as knowledge?”, can I write about an object which discusses why the question of ‘what is knowledge’ is important? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436885192 2021-04-20 08:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1436885192 If my prompt is "What is the relationship between personal experience and knowledge?", do i need to include the types of knowledge, e.g. tacit knowledge, explicit knowledge etc.? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1437432277 2021-04-20 11:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1437432277 My prompt is "Are some types of knowledge more useful than others?" and I have chosen my piano and my biology textbook as 2 objects but I'm stuck on how to approach https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1440695297 2021-04-21 02:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1440695297 I want to write about the prompt "Can new knowledge change established values or beliefs" and I want to use the objects a photo of Santa, a photo of a cross and an easter bunny to explain how children's belief change over time because of new knowledge. https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1445575241 2021-04-22 04:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1445575241 If we dont need to use AOK's do we still need to link it to the different frameworks? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1449736150 2021-04-22 23:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1449736150 do we need to present this later after we hand it in? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1450907714 2021-04-23 08:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1450907714 "How might the context in which knowledge is presented influence whether it is accepted or rejected?" which key terms should I define in the introduction https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1451381715 2021-04-23 12:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1451381715 Do we have to include hyperlinks to the photos of our objects? What if the photo is a screenshot of personal profile we cannot provide a public link to? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1454035786 2021-04-24 02:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1454035786 If I want to bring up a theory to illustrate my point (e.g. how organaization/classification or knowledge makes us susceptible to confirmation bias), would I have to explain what the theory is (ie.e. confirmation bias)? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1454071742 2021-04-24 02:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1454071742 Does our objects have to be personal? Do we have to link it back to how it affected us or how we are impacted by the object? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1455504605 2021-04-25 03:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1455504605 My chosen prompt: Can new knowledge change established beliefs? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1483442908 May I get some advice on whether these three dimensions explored are ok: 

1. New knowledge can possibly change a (wrongly) established view if the method by which it is produced is more reliable. It also depends on the knower’s open mindedness i.e. the extent to which he/she is willing to acknowledge the wrongness of the original view. 

2. New knowledge can change an established view when the knower provisionally accepts the original knowledge claim made, along with the possibility that said claim can be refuted with future evidence. This attitude allows for healthy development of knowledge, because the knower can ensure that he is not forming baseless beliefs. 

3. New knowledge cannot change entrenched beliefs because they are unfalsifiable. The refusal to change an established view however strong the new knowledge or good the methodology that has produced it is, is often due to a strong personal connection between the established belief, personal identity and religious shared knowledge. ]]> 2021-05-03 01:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1483442908 During the round of moderation, will every single one of our papers be looked at? https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1483728435 2021-05-03 03:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/1483728435 For our three different objects, do we need to have different approaches in choosing them? And if so, how? (My prompt is: How might the context in which knowledge is presented influence whether it is accepted or rejected?) https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/2478450021 2023-02-13 06:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/TOKexhibitionFAQ/wish/2478450021
