Possibilities for “Proactive, Interactive Deep Learning” in Japan's New National Curriculum Evident From an Analysis of IBDP's Theory of Knowledge

Prior to the implementation of Japan's new national curriculum—known as the course of study (COS)—in 2012, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) declared it would examine the viability of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Considering this, it is likely that the “proactive, interactive, deep learning,” a key idea of the new COS, and IB philosophy have many points of commonality. This chapter will focus on non-IB schools attempting to include the IB philosophy with an emphasis on classes incorporating the theory of knowledge (TOK) philosophy, an integral part of the IB Diploma Programme's (IBDP). Relevant aspects of TOK are examined, supported by the results of semi-structured interviews with teachers. It is suggested that the TOK philosophy is a meaningful reference for teachers to implement proactive, interactive, deep learning. However, teachers will likely go through some trial and error while applying it in their schools.
