TOK Exhibition Object 1: Double-Blind Study Methodology Description
- Theme: Knowledge and Technology
- Rationale: The double-blind study, a methodological approach where neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment, exemplifies an attempt to achieve objectivity in scientific research. This methodology aims to eliminate bias and ensure that the results of the study are as unbiased and reliable as possible. It underscores the challenges of maintaining objectivity in knowledge production, especially in fields where human subjects are involved, and highlights the methods developed to mitigate subjective influences on research outcomes.

TOK Exhibition Object 2: A Historian’s Archive with Primary Sources from Multiple Perspectives
- Theme: Knowledge and the Knower
- Rationale: An archive that collects primary sources from diverse perspectives on a historical event illustrates the efforts to achieve objectivity in historical knowledge. By incorporating documents, testimonies, and artifacts from various sides of an event, historians aim to construct a more balanced and comprehensive understanding of the past. This object reflects on the inherent challenges of objectivity in history, where the interpretation of events is influenced by the historian’s perspectives, biases, and the availability of sources.
Objects in the TOK exhibition serve as tangible manifestations of complex TOK concepts, allowing students to explore and demonstrate their understanding of knowledge in a concrete and relatable context. They act as catalysts for deep reflection, discussion, and analysis, bridging abstract theory with real-world examples and personal experiences. By strategically choosing objects that offer clear relevance and depth, students position themselves to deliver a compelling exhibition that fully addresses the criteria for a 10/10 score.
