IB Diploma - TOK essay 보너스 3점 모범 예시

소개글

이 문서는 2019년 MAY IB과정을 위해 작성한 TOK essay입니다. 에세이의 타이틀 질문은 “The quality of knowledge is best measured by how many people accept it.”이었으며 Natural Sciences와 Human Sciences를 Areas of Knowledge로 설정하여 에세이를 작성하였습니다. 지구 팽창 이론, 판구조론, 토마스 쿤의 파라다임 쉬프트, 경제학의 낙수효과, 유교자본주의, 발전주의 국가론 등등의 매우 자세하고 전문적인 예시들로 주장을 뒷받침하였고 중간의 crtical thinking 스킬을 사용하면서 차별화를 두었습니다. 결국 에세이에서 고득점을 받아 보너스 포인트로 3점을 받을 수 있었습니다. 이 에세이가 학생분들께서 TOK essay를 작성하실 때 모범예시로서 참고하면서 고득점의 목표를 이루었으면 좋겠습니다.

Measuring the quality of knowledge by number of acceptance can be a tempting and convenient choice. Despite the relative ease of relying on the number of acceptance, I want to affirm that the quality of knowledge in the two Sciences is better measured by quality of evidence produced through scientific process than consensus among people...
