What should be the criteria for selecting objects for your TOK Exhibition?
Dr. Anil Khare:
Select items that are directly related to your chosen IA prompt. The context of each object should be clearly real-world and each object should provide a different perspective on the knowledge question. Do not explain an object's nature, but rather analyse what it tells about knowledge, evidence, interpretation or perspectives.
FAQs
Is it OK to use personal items in my TOK exhibition?
Yes. Real world contexts and personal connections to knowledge can be illustrated with personal objects.
Can I use digital objects?
Yes. When the context is explained, screenshots, online documents and digital records can be appropriate.
Can I use the same type of object as another student?
Yes, but your analysis, context and connection to the IA prompt should be your own.
