Lesson plan to the introduction of TOK concept- evidence
Slide 4-Connecting knowledge and politics through evidence
A real-world example of connecting knowledge, politics, and evidence in the context of the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is the ongoing debate and policy-making around COVID-19 vaccinations.
Example: COVID-19 Vaccination Policies and Public Health
Background:
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the development and distribution of vaccines, offers a rich case study in how scientific evidence is used, interpreted, and sometimes contested in political decision-making. This scenario involves not only scientific understanding but also political considerations, public health ethics, and global equity issues.
