TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: A Printing Press (Gutenberg Press)

  • Theme: Knowledge and Language
  • Rationale: The Gutenberg Printing Press, introduced in the 15th century, played a pivotal role in the dissemination of knowledge. By enabling the mass production of books, it drastically reduced the cost of printing and significantly widened access to knowledge. This object highlights how material tools can democratize information, influence literacy rates, and facilitate the spread of ideas, contributing to cultural and scientific revolutions.

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.
