Why the IB? The IB Education and Philosophy
Why the IB? The IB Education and Philosophy
Description
Book Introduction
IB education has presented its educational direction with unique expressions such as 'international education,' 'inquiry-based learning,' 'concept-centered education,' and 'global citizenship.'
However, the question of where these languages ​​originated and what philosophical currents of thought they are associated with still remains a gap in the educational field.
Questions like “Why concepts?”, “Why inquiry?”, and “Why learner agency?” arise naturally whenever teachers construct lessons and meet students, but the philosophical origins of these questions are pushed outside the language of practice.
This book seeks to address this philosophical void. It provides a forum for teachers practicing IB education, IBEN experts, and prospective IB educators to reflect on the philosophical foundations of their practice and the lineage of thought within which it was born and expanded.
