Methodology+Interview

Back to Home>Back to Methodology

Methodology Interview an Expert In order to explore the methodology, the “how” of different areas of knowledge, we are going to go out and ask experts how they pursue and produce in their discipline. You will each need to select an AOK to focus on and you must seek out someone who could be seen as an expert to interview. You are highly encouraged to seek out experts outside of the College teaching staff but you may choose to interview other teachers besides the TOK team. You have each been given five required questions that should be included in your interview and you are responsible for generating 5-10 additional questions. The goal is to identify the essential components of how knowledge is gained in your AOK and collect demonstrative examples of the methodology at work. You will need to keep a written transcript of the interview and bring it with you next class. If you choose, you can film the interview and bring the video in as well.
