Philosophy of the PYPThe philosophy behind the PYP can be examined in two parts.
∗ Firstly, the mission statement of the IBO expresses the IBO’s overall purpose as an organization promoting and developing programmes of international education.
∗ Secondly, there is a set of beliefs and values which the
IBO call “International Mindedness”
Philosophy of the PYPThe philosophy behind the PYP can be examined in two parts.
∗ Firstly, the mission statement of the IBO expresses the IBO’s overall purpose as an organization promoting and developing programmes of international education.
∗ Secondly, there is a set of beliefs and values which the
IBO call “International Mindedness” – let’s look at this first!
An Internationally minded Person● From the IB’s perspective an
internationally minded person is a person with the attributes and dispositions described in the IB learner profile.
Standard A4: The school develops and and promotes international mindedness and all attributes of the IB learner profile across the school community.
Can you identify the Learner Profile in the IBO Mission?The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the IBO works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Inquiry within the PYP
PYP schools are committed to structured, purposeful inquiry that
engages students actively in their own
learning.
What is inquiry? 什麼是探究?
∗ “Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves a process of exploring the natural or material world, that leads to asking questions and making discoveries in the search for new understandings.”
∗ 探究是一種學習模式, 是探索自然和物質世界的過程。它引領我們發問和發現, 讓我們對這個世界有新的認知和了解。
(Exploratorium Institute for Inquiry)
What was your most significant learning moment?Think about the following questions as well:∗ How did you develop the interest?∗ What experience led to this
understanding?∗ What resources did you use for your
learning?∗ How did you know that you really
knew/understood?
∗
So...what does inquiry look like?
Flexible learning environments
Limit whole class instruction
Allowing time for students to get “stuck”
Open ended questions/problems
Students talking and thinking for themselves
Working both independently and collaboratively
So...what does inquiry look like?
Authentic context and purpose Students are aware of what they are doing and why!
Accessing students’ prior knowledge
Using student questions as a springboard for teaching
So...what does inquiry look like?
