Today, we're discussing the 'Knowledgeable' attribute. Can anyone tell me what being knowledgeable means in the context of the IB Learner Profile?
Does it mean we need to know a lot about different subjects?
Great point, Student_1! Being knowledgeable is about understanding concepts and ideas across disciplines, but it's also about how we apply that knowledge to global and local contexts. Think about international issues we face today.
So we’re not just learning facts but also how they relate to real-world problems?
Exactly, Student_2! It’s about making connections and being aware of how these concepts affect our communities.

Let’s look at some examples of being knowledgeable. Can anyone share how we've studied global issues in class?
We discussed climate change and its impact on different countries.
Yes, and what did we learn about how these differences affect communities?
Some countries are more affected than others because they have fewer resources to combat it.
Excellent observation, Student_4! This understanding of interdependence is essential in the IB framework.

Students explore concepts, ideas, and issues across disciplines and demonstrate understanding in global and local contexts.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, the focus is on how students are encouraged to dive deep into various subjects, whether they are science, art, or history. This means that knowledge isn't just about memorizing facts but rather about understanding how these ideas relate to one another. When students learn about a topic in one discipline, they should connect it to what they know from other areas, integrating this knowledge into a broader context.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a student who learns about climate change in science class. Instead of just knowing the facts, they might connect it to social studies, understanding how environmental policies affect communities around the world. This is like building a bridge between different islands of knowledge, allowing them to travel and learn across disciplines.
Demonstrating Understanding

Students demonstrate understanding in global and local contexts.
Detailed Explanation
Here, the emphasis is on how students apply their knowledge not only in the classroom but in real-world situations. This includes understanding local issues such as community needs or global challenges like poverty or climate change. Students should be able to take their classroom knowledge and use it to analyze and understand what's happening in the world around them, contributing to discussions and solutions based on informed perspectives.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a student participating in a community service project focused on clean water access. They can apply what they've learned about water resource management in their environmental science class to understand better the local issues they are addressing. It’s like having a toolkit that they can use to fix real problems they encounter in their environment.
