THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE ORAL PRESENTATION - WHY THE FORMS ARE VERY IMPORTANT - TK/PPD FORM

http://blog.joekoss.me/2016/08/tok-presentation-as-compliance-not.html#comment-form

This year marked the second year of using the new holistic IB rubrics for marking both the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. It was also the second year of the TOK Presentation being subjected to moderation procedures by external IB examiners. The moderation procedures follow more or less the same procedures IB uses for all other IA moderation, using dynamic sampling and tolerance bands.

Except for one glaring difference: the work being moderated for the TOK Presentation is not the product itself, as it is with all other externally moderated IAs. Rather the work moderated is a "Presentation Planning Document (TK/PPD)," which asks the students to, in 500 words or less,describe, state, explain, outline, and show how their presentation "succeeds in showing that TOK concepts can have practical application."
