TOK EXHIBITION Object 1: Personalized Learning Pathway in an Educational App
- Theme: Knowledge and the Knower
- Rationale: A personalized learning pathway, created by an educational app based on the learner’s performance and preferences, challenges traditional, one-size-fits-all educational models. It exemplifies how the classification and organization of knowledge can be tailored to individual learning styles, potentially enhancing understanding and retention. This object encourages TOK students to reflect on how personal biases, previous knowledge, and the context of the knower influence the organization of learning content, affecting what is known and understood. It raises questions about the implications of personalized learning for equitable access to knowledge.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: A Curated News Feed Based on Past Reading Habits
- Theme: Knowledge and the Knower
- Rationale: This curated collection of news articles, selected based on the user’s past reading habits, illustrates how information is filtered and presented to individuals, shaping their view of the world. It prompts discussion on how such personalization can create echo chambers, limiting exposure to diverse perspectives and potentially affecting the knower’s ability to critically evaluate information. Students are encouraged to consider how their preferences and biases influence the organization of knowledge they receive and what impact this might have on their understanding of global events.
