Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is a high school epistemology course taken by all International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme students. The course discusses how the student is able to know something. The student is described as a "knower" who attempts to find knowledge, where knowledge, as defined by Plato, is "justified true belief".\n\nThe course uses the four Ways of Knowing (WOK): perception, emotion, reason, and language. Also used are the following six Areas of Knowledge (AOK), which are put here in the form of a spectrum, the two ends of which are labelled "objective" and "subjective", from left to right respectively: mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, ethics, history, and the arts. Also the course discusses Problems of Knowledge (POK), or limitations of knowledge, concerning the WOK and AOK.\n\nThe course teaches nine reasons for justification of things one claims to know: logic, sensory perception, revelation, faith, memory, consensus, authority, intuition, and self-awareness.\n\nAlso studied are the three known truth tests: coherence, correspondence, and pragmatic.\n\nThese nine justifications and three truth tests are key to the introduction of TOK.\n\nThe course is formulated and centered around one main question: How do you know? One is supposed to use the Ways of Knowing and the Areas of Knowledge to discuss how one acquires, perceives, and applies knowledge and how reliable can it be. Another questions central to the ideas of ToK, relating specifically to the application of knowledge is: 'What is your obligation as a knower?' Questions that may be discussed may include examples such as 'How do you know that the scientific method is a valid method of gaining knowledge?' or 'What is the reason for having historical knowledge, and how is it applied in life?'\n\nAt the completion of the course, students give an internally assessed oral presentation of about 10 minutes and write an essay of 1,200 to 1,600 words that will be assessed externally by the IBO. The presentation follows a topic of the student's choosing while the paper must discuss one of 10 pre-determined topics that are changed each year. In both cases the student is required to provide ample discussion of the POK, AOK, and WOK concerning their topic as well as critical evaluation of their conclusions.\n\nTOK, like Creativity, Action, Service, is a required course for students in the IB Diploma Programme, and a good final score in both TOK and the Extended Essay may help the student receive up to three extra points towards their diploma.\n\nA final grade in TOK is necessary to receive the IB Diploma. A failing grade or lack of a grade in TOK constitutes disqualification of a candidate for an IB Diploma.

I'm not sure if it has a name but the current trend is to teach "skills for lifelong learning". The idea is to get kids to "learn how to learn" so I guess that involves searching for resources, exploring what kind of information is out there, evaluating information critically, integrating information etc.

The dumb thing about this is that ALL education is "outcome based".  Even the classic styles suggest that the final OUTCOME will be a productive member of society.\n\nWhile there are some HUGE problems w/ public education, this particular author mixes up so many theories in her conspiracy quest, that she does a disservice to those who want to improve education.\n\nShe bashes on "total quality management" with no understanding of the concept.\n\nShe bashes on "outcome based learning" with no appreciation that not all students are suited to studying latin...and btw they are valuable members of society as well.\n\nI'd love to see education improvement, but it ain't coming from this lackwit.

It isn't always about the facts and figures you are learning.  A lot of stuff we take in become essential building blocks for other types of knowledge later in life.\n\nIt isn't all bogus, it isn't all exactly pertinent either - it's a mixture of both because no two people will ever experience life and learning the same so we need a broad foundation to move forward with as we head toward college or life's experiences.\n\nCheers

Education software are programs that provide educational benefits to the user.  My children use programs that teach math skills or phonics skills and provide many examples of the subject area for repetitive learning.\n    There are also educational versions of software.  They usually come packaged with a book of the subject.  An example would be and educational version of VB that comes with VB handbook in college.  This software allows you to create programs, but will not allow you to make them executable outside the programming windows.\n   Other software helps to organize your educational needs.

Ahhh.  A question.  That means you desire information you do not have.  Reading these answers will provide you with some information and, by definition, you are being educated.  The more educated you become, the more you discover what you don't know.  The best formal education teaches you enough general information to allow you to determine what you really want to learn about.\n\nKeep asking questions.

I would say that it's "to educate someone unknown on a particular area of interest."  \n\nTours are generally given to educate people about a place - aka: university tour educates you on the location of buildings/classrooms and the university's history.
