Knowledge claims can be of two orders:
- claims about a specific real life situation
- claims about knowledge
Knowledge questions derive from these claims. To formulate a good knowledge question, use the ladder of abstraction:
1.Start from a knowledge claim emerging from a real life situation
2. Identify the topic
3. Ask an implicit question about the situation
4. Formulate an open-ended question about knowledge in the context of the real life situation
5. Formulate an explicit open-ended question about knowledge using TOK concepts
TOK concepts include ways of knowing and areas of knowledge but also include: belief, certainty, truth, proof, culture, evidence, authority, interpretation, etc.
