Our Learning Community & Environment我们的学习社区和环境Library Our excellent Library provides the hub of learning for the IB Diploma programme. Not only do students spend time here studying they can also access a range of academic texts as well as three databases that should contain the reference material to support their extended academic studies.

Learning technologies We aim to maintain the school’s physical environment to a very high standard including an accessible, fast wifi network. Sixth form students are encouraged to make use of learning technologies for research, self-management and learning enrichment.

Community The NLCS Jeju community values open-mindedness and internationalism. The following statement reflects our commitment to international-mindedness:

“At NLCS Jeju, we believe that our British style of education can serve as a platform to promote international-mindedness. We want to develop an outward-looking community of young people. International-mindedness should be embedded in all elements of our school, so that it becomes part of our daily lives. All members of the community should be able to show pride in their own nationality, as well as being able to connect with other nationalities and cultures. “Furthermore, we aim to foster a caring and respectful community characterised by excellent relationships between staff and students, as well as between the students themselves, of whatever age, culture and background. All students should have the freedom to explore who they are and where they come from. At the same time, they should be respectful of the heritage and customs of others, in a way that celebrates variety and welcomes differences.”

图书馆 我们优秀的图书馆为IB文凭课程提供学习中心。 学生不仅花时间在这里学习,他们也可以访问一系列的学术文本以及三个数据库,包含参考资料,以支持他们的扩展学术研究。

学习技术 我们的目标是保持学校的物理环境达到非常高的标准,包括一个可访问的,快速的WiFi网络。 鼓励第六学段的学生利用学习技术进行研究、自我管理和充实学习。

社区 NLCS济州社区尊重开放态度和国际主义。 以下声明反映了我们对国际观念的承诺:

“在NLCS济州,我们相信我们的英国教育风格可以作为一个平台,促进国际化的思维。我们希望发展外向型的年轻人社区。 国际化思维应该嵌入我们学校的所有元素,使其成为我们日常生活的一部分。 社区的所有成员都应该能够对自己的国籍表示自豪,并能够与其他民族和文化联系起来。”

“我们目标是培养一种相互关怀和相互尊重的社区特征,在此,教职员工和学生之间,以及同学之间,无论年龄、文化和背景,都具有良好的关系。所有的学生都应该有自由去探索他们是谁,他们来自哪里。与此同时,他们应该尊重他人的文化和习俗,以一种庆祝和欢迎的方式来面对我们社区的多样性和差异性。 ”

봉사활동 학교에서의 시간 동안, 학생들은 봉사활동 외에도 자신의 학업적 열정을 보여주는 일종의 포트폴리오를 만들어야 합니다.

“일부 공동체는 학생들에게 학문적 자원과 기회를 충분히 제공하지 않습니다. 다른 공동체에서는 학문적으로 높은 수준을 유지하여 학생들이 선별적인 명문 대학에 진학하도록 과한 압박을 줍니다. 이러한

The NLCS Jeju DiplomaNLCS济州文凭The IB Diploma, which is explained in detail throughout this booklet, provides our Sixth Form curriculum and is the primary qualification towards which students work in Years 12 and 13. It is an externally assessed, internationally recognised programme that is recognised by universities and employers across the globe.

In addition, students who complete their Sixth Form study at NLCS Jeju may qualify for an NLCS Jeju Diploma. Thanks to our Council of International Schoiols (CIS) accreditation, this is equivalent to a US High School Diploma and may be used to apply for university courses in the US.

The NLCS Jeju Diploma is granted by the school upon completion of Year 13, subject to the following qualification criteria:

External examination gradesStudents joining before or during Year 10 must attain passing grades in at least five subjects at IGCSE. All students must attain passing grades in at least five IBDP SL and/or HL courses.

Academic honestyStudents who have been found to have engaged in academic dishonesty in any internally or externally assessed work may have their eligibility for an NLCS Diploma revoked at the discretion of the Head of Senior School and the Principal.

Effort & BehaviourStudents must attain satisfactory Attitude to Learning grades in all Y10-13 reports. Their files must show fewer than 5 days’ suspension from school during Years 10-13 and no more than 2 days in any one academic year.

AttendanceStudents’ attendance records must show no more than 10% unauthorised absence from school.

Extra Curricular ParticipationStudents must achieve full and satisfactory participation in the CCA, Bryant and CAS programmes in Years 10-13.

本手册中对于国际文凭提供了详细的解释,这是我们第六学段的课程,是学生在12年级和13年级学习的主要文凭。这是一个经过外部评估的国际公认课程,在全球范围内得到大学和雇主的认可。

此外,在NLCS Jeju完成第六学段学习的学生可以有资格获得NLCS济州毕业文凭。感谢我们得到了国际学校理事会(CIS)的认证,这个毕业文凭相当于美国的高中毕业文凭,可以用来申请美国的大学课程。

NLCS济州毕业文凭在13年级完成后由学校授予,但须符合以下资格标准:

外部考试的成绩在10年级之前或10年级中间加入我校的学生必须在IGCSE考试中至少有五门科目达到及格分数。所有学生必须在五门IBDP SL和/或HL课程中达到及格分数。

学术诚实在任何内部或外部考试中被发现从事学术不诚实行为的学生可能被取消NLCS文凭资格,这将由高中校长和校长自行决定。

努力与行为在所有10-13年级的学生报告中,学生必须在学习态度方面达到满意的评分。他们的档案必须显示在10-13年级期间停学处罚不超过5天,在一个学年中停学处罚不得超过2天。

出勤学生的出勤记录必须显示未经授权的学校缺勤不得超过10%。

课外活动参与学生必须在10 - 13年级期间完整和满意地参加CCA,Bryant和CAS课程。

Introduction to the IB DiplomaIB 国际文凭课程Candidates studying for the diploma select six subjects from the subject groups. Normally three subjects are studied at higher level (courses representing 240 teaching hours), and the remaining three subjects are studied at standard level (courses representing 150 teaching hours).

All three parts of the core—extended essay, theory of knowledge and creativity, activity, service—are compulsory and are central to the philosophy of the Diploma Programme.

At the end of the two-year programme, candidates are assessed both internally and externally in ways that measure individual performance against stated curriculum and assessment objectives for each subject.

In nearly all subjects at least some of the assessment is carried out internally by teachers, who mark individual pieces of work produced as part of a course of study. Examples include oral exercises in language subjects, projects, student portfolios, reports, class presentations, practical laboratory work, mathematical investigations and artistic performances.

Some assessment tasks are conducted and overseen by teachers, but are then marked externally by examiners. Examples include written assignments or tasks for language subjects in groups 1 and 2, the essay for theory of knowledge and the extended essay.

Because of the greater degree of objectivity and reliability provided by the standard examination environment, externally marked examinations form the larger share of the assessment for most subjects.

The grading system is criterion-related (results are determined by performance against set standards, and not in relation to the performance of other students); validity, reliability and fairness are principles of the Diploma Programme’s assessment strategy.

IB学员从6个主题组中选择六门科目。 通常三个科目在高级水平(240小时教学)进行研究,其余三个科目在标准水平(150小时教学)进行研究。

三个核心部分是:扩展论文、知识理论、创造行动服务,所有这三个部分都是强制性的,并且代表了国际文凭项目的核心哲学。

在两年制课程结束时,根据每门课程规定的课程内容和评估目标来衡量考生的学习表现,衡量方式包括内部评估和外部评估。

在几乎所有科目中,至少有一些评估是由教师在学校内部进行的,老师给作为课程一部分的学生作品进行打分。这样的情况包括语言科目、学习项目、学生作品、报告、班级演讲、实用实验室工作、数学调查和艺术表演等。

一些评估任务由教师执行和监督,但随后由外部考官进行评分。例子包括组1和组2中语言主题的书面作业或任务、知识理论的论文和扩展论文等。

由于标准考试能提供更大的客观性和可靠性,外部评分考试仍然在大多数科目的评估形式中占较大份额。

评分系统是与标准相关的(成绩根据设定的标准而定,不根据与其他学生的表现的相关性来打分)。有效性、可靠性和公平性是国际文凭项目的评估原则。

The IB Diploma CoreIB文凭的核心Extended Essay (EE)The extended essay is an in-depth study of a focused topic chosen from the list of available Diploma Programme subjects for the session in question. This is normally one of the student’s six chosen subjects. It is intended to promote academic research and writing skills, providing students with an opportunity to engage in personal research in a topic of their own choice, under the guidance of a supervisor. This leads to a major piece of formally presented, structured writing, in which ideas and findings are communicated in a reasoned and coherent manner, appropriate to the subject chosen. It is mandatory that all students undertake three reflection sessions with their supervisor, which includes a short, concluding interview, or viva voce, with their supervisor following the completion of the extended essay.

Assessment of the Extended Essay varies according to the subject in which it is completed, but is always based upon five criteria with a maximum mark of 34 overall:

A. Focus and method (6 marks)

B. Knowledge and understanding (6 marks)

C. Critical thinking (12 marks)

D. Presentation (4 marks)

E. Engagement (6 marks)

Theory of Knowledge (TOK)TOK is a course about critical thinking and inquiring into the process of knowing, rather than about learning a specific body of knowledge. It is a core element which all Diploma Programme students undertake and to which all schools are required to devote at least 100 hours of class time. TOK and the Diploma Programme subjects should support each other in the sense that they reference each other and share some common goals. The TOK course examines how we know what we claim to know. It does this by encouraging students to analyse knowledge claims and explore knowledge questions. A knowledge claim is the assertion that “I/we know X” or “I/we know how to Y”, or a statement about knowledge; a knowledge question is an open question

扩展论文(EE)扩展论文是从文凭课程科目列表中选择一个重点主题进行深入的研究。这通常是从学生选择的六门科目中选择一个。它旨在促进学术研究和写作技巧,为学生提供一个在导师的指导下就自己所选择的主题来开展个人研究的机会。作为其成果的主要部分,学生要提交出一篇正式的、结构性的论文,在论文中,思想和发现需要以合理和连贯的方式来传达,并适合于所选择的主题。所有学生都必须与他们的导师进行三次反思会议,其中包括在扩展论文完成之后,学生要与导师进行一次简短的结论性的面试,也可以说是口试。

扩展论文的评估根据其完成的主题而有所不同,但始终基于五个标准,最高分为34分:

A.中心和方法(6分)

B.知识和理解(6分)

C.批判性思维(12分)

D.呈现(4分)

E.参与度(6分)

知识理论(TOK)TOK是一门关于批判性思考和探究知识过程的课程,而不是关于学习特定知识体系的课程。这是所有文凭课程学生都所需承担的核心要素之一,所有学校都必须至少花100个小时的上课时间。 TOK和文凭课程的6个科目应该相互支持,因为这两方面互为参考并具有一些共同的目标。 TOK课程考察了我们如何知道我们声称知道的内容。它通过鼓励学生分析知识主张和探索知识问题来实现这一目标。知识主张是就“我/我们知道X”或“我/我们知道Y如何”的断言,或关于知识的陈述;知识问题则是一个关于知识的开放性问题。 TOK指南中区分了何为共享知识,何为个人知识。这种区分旨在帮助教师构建他们的TOK课程并帮助学生探索知识的本质。

TOK课程有两个考试任务:论文和演讲。论文由国际文凭组织进行外部评估,并且必须是考试局为每期考试而发布的六个规定标题中的一个。论文的最大字数限制为1600字。

about knowledge. A distinction between shared knowledge and personal knowledge is made in the TOK guide. This distinction is intended as a device to help teachers construct their TOK course and to help students explore the nature of knowledge.

There are two assessment tasks in the TOK course: an essay and a presentation. The essay is externally assessed by the IB, and must be on any one of the six prescribed titles issued by the IB for each examination session. The maximum word limit for the essay is 1,600 words.

Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS)CAS is at the heart of the Diploma Programme. With its holistic approach, CAS is designed to strengthen and extend students’ personal and interpersonal learning.

CAS is organized around the three strands of creativity, activity and service defined as follows:

Creativity—exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance

Activity—physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle

Service—collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need

As a shining beacon of he IB’s values, CAS enables students to demonstrate attributes of the IB learner profile in real and practical ways, to grow as unique individuals and to recognize their role in relation to others. Students develop skills, attitudes and dispositions through a variety of individual and group experiences that provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and express their passions, personalitiesand perspectives. CAS complements a challenging academic programme in a holistic way, providingopportunities for self-determination, collaboration, accomplishment and enjoyment.

创意、活动和服务(CAS)CAS是文凭课程的核心。 CAS采用整体方法,旨在加强和扩展学生的个人学习和合作学习。

CAS围绕创造力、活动和服务三个方面进行组织,定义如下:

创造力 - 探索和扩展思想,并产生原创性的或解释性的作品或表现

活动 - 参与有助于发展健康生活方式的体力活动

服务-与所在的社区进行服务协作和互惠互动,以满足社区的真正需求

作为IB价值观的闪亮灯塔,CAS使学生能够以真实和实际的方式展示其作为IB学习者的属性,成长为独特的个体并认识到自己与他人相关时的角色。学生通过各种个人和团体经验培养技能、态度和素养,为学生提供探索其兴趣、表达激情、展示个性和观点的机会。 CAS以整体方式补充了具有挑战性的学术课程,为自我决策、协作、获取成就和满足感提供了机会。

Lessons and Homework in the Sixth Form第六学段的课程和作业Subject LessonsSixth Form lessons have a different feel to those students will have experienced in lower years. They will spend more time on each subject (7 lessons per week for HL subjects, 5 lessons per week for SL subjects) and class time will be more discursive in nature thanks to smaller class sizes. IB Diploma lessons are designed to encourage development of the IB Learner Profile attributes and Approaches to Learning explained earlier in this handbook. As such, students may need to adapt to different learning styles as dictated by the nature of the subjects they are studying.

IB Time and UGC TimeIn addition to normal classroom lessons, Sixth Form students attend sessions as a whole year group designed to support the other elements of their studies. IB Time sessions (one double lesson per week) allow the IBDP, EE, TOK and CAS coordinators to support students in the completion of studies related to the IBDO Core. This programme includes sessions on research skills and academic honesty for the EE, lectures and workshops for TOK and support in the completion of activities and reflections for CAS.

UGC Time (one lesson per week, led by the University Guidance Counsellors) is focussed on supporting Sixth Form students in preparing their university applications. These sessions include presentations from visiting university admissions staff, guidance on how to build a portfolio and workshops to support writing of college essays and personal statements.

HomeworkSixth Formers do not have a set homework timetable, as the nature of work set for the IBDP usually means it is set over a longer period. In general, IBDP students can expect to spend around three hours per HL subject and two hours per SL subject on homework each week, on average. In addition, there wioll be work to do on extended essays, TOK presentations and CAS activities, so it is essential that students manage their time carefully and work hard.

学科课程第六学段的课程和学生在较低年级的经历相比会有不同的感受。他们将在每个科目上都花费更多的时间(HL科目每周7堂课,SL科目每周5堂课),由于班级规模较小,课堂时间将更具话语性。 如前所述,IB文凭课程旨在鼓励开发IB学习者的学习特性和学习方法。因此,学生可能需要适应不同的学习方式,这取决于他们所学习的科目的性质。

IB时间和UGC时间除了正常的课堂教学外,第六学段的学生还将以年级为单位参与一些课时,旨在支持他们学习的其他内容。 每周有两节连堂的“IB时间”让IBDP,EE,TOK和CAS协调员去支持学生完成与IBDO核心相关的研究。该包括关于EE的研究技能和学术诚信,TOK讲座和研讨会,以及完成CAS活动和反思等。

UGC时间(每周一节课,由大学申请指导顾问主持)专注于支持第六学段学生的大学申请准备。这包括来访大学的招生人员的讲座,如何准备申请资料的指导、撰写大学论文和个人陈述的研讨会等。

家庭作业第六学段没有设定的家庭作业时间表,因为国际文凭预科课程的工作性质通常意味着其作业需要更长的设定时间。一般而言,国际文凭预科课程学生平均每周可以为每个HL科目花费大约3个小时的家庭作业时间,每个SL科目花费2个小时。此外,还有很多工作要做,比如扩展论文,TOK演讲和CAS活动,因此学生必须认真管理他们的时间并努力工作。

Assessment in the IB DiplomaIB文凭课程的考评ExaminationsThough proportions vary by subject (see the IBDP Curriculum Supplement for details), the majority of assessment in the IB Diploma Programme comes in the form of examinations, which are taken in school in May of Year 13 and marked externally by the IB’s examiners.

Though past examination papers are available online and via departments in school, it is important to note that simply working through large numbers of them will not be sufficient to ensure that the student is adequately prepared for the real thing. Ultimately, IB Diploma exams are designed so that only thorough understanding of the course material, gained through lessons and effective revision, will ensure success.

Internally Assessed Coursework (IAs)All IBDP subjects, including Theory of Knowledge, are partly assessed through work produced during the course of study. IAs are marked by teaching staff, then moderated internally. This process involves teachers marking the work of each other’s students students for a second time, then the scores given by different teachers are compared with each other. If they are consistent, the original mark stands. If there are differences, a meeting will happen in which a final mark is agreed to ensure that there is consistency and integrity of the marks we award.

Following internal moderation, the final marks are submitted to the IB, who will choose a sample of students to be externally moderated. These students’ IAs will be uploaded to the IB, whose examiners will check that the marks given by the school fit with the IB’s standards and criteria.

Externally Assessed Coursework (EAs)As with IAs, EAs are completed during the course of study. However, they are not marked in school. Instead, all EAs are uploaded to the IB and marked by their examiners. EAs include the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge essay, as well as much of the work done for the Group 6 arts subjects.

考试虽然考试所占的比例因学科而异(详见国际文凭预科课程补充说明),但IB文凭课程的大部分评估都是以考试的形式进行,考试在13年级的5月份在学校内进行,并由国际文凭组织的考官在校外进行判分。

虽然往年试卷可以通过网上和学校的科系获得,但重要的是要注意,仅仅通过大量的做往年试卷并不足以确保学生为真考做好充分的准备。最终,IB文凭考试的设计使得只有通过在上课时和复习时对课程材料获得透彻和有效的理解才能确保考试成功。

内部评估(IA)所有国际文凭预科课程的科目,包括知识理论部分,都有通过在学习过程中产生的工作进行评估的部分。 IAs由教师给分,然后在内部进行校准。这个过程涉及教师们互相给对方的学生打分,然后将同一个学生由不同教师给出的分数进行比较。如果分数一致,则使用该分数。如果存在差异,将召开会议,商定最终分数,以确保我们授予的分数具有一致性和完整性。

在内部审核后,最终分数将提交给IB考试局,IB将选择供外部审核的学生功课样本。这些学生的IAs将被上传到IB考试局,其下的考官将检查学校给出的分数是否符合IB的规范和标准。

外部评估(EA)与内部评估一样,外部评估的作业也要在学习期间完成。 但是,它们不在学校内给分。 相反,所有EA都上传到IB并由其考官评分。 EA包括扩展论文和知识理论论文,以及为第6组艺术类科目所做的大部分功课作品。

Approaches to Teaching and Learning [ATL]学习方式 [ATL]Also at the centre of the IB Diploma programme are the Approaches to Teaching and Learning. The following is a rationale for the approach to learning in the IBDP:

“The development of skills such as thinking skills and communication skills is frequently identified as a crucial element in preparing students effectively for life beyond school. A 2007 survey of 400 hiring executives of major US corporations identified their top four requirements of new recruits as being oral and written communication skills, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, professionalism and work ethic, and teamwork and collaboration skills (Trilling and Fadel 2009) . . . Yet many students struggle with some of the basic skills of effective learning. For example, good note-making has been positively correlated with academic achievement, yet research suggests that many university students have difficulty even with the fundamental skill of making notes from lectures or texts (Kiewra 1985, O’Donnell and Dansereau 1993).

“Developing students’ ATL skills is about more than simply developing their cognitive skills. It is also about developing affective and metacognitive skills, and about encouraging students to view learning as something that they “do for themselves in a proactive way, rather than as a covert event that happens to them in reaction to teaching” (Zimmerman 2000: 65). By developing ATL skills and the attributes of the learner profile, DP students can become “self-regulated learners” (Kaplan 1998). Self-regulated learners have learned how to set learning goals, ask good questions, self-interrogate as they learn, generate motivation and perseverance, try out different learning processes, self-monitor the effectiveness of their learning, reflect on achievement, and make changes to their learning processes where necessary (Zimmerman and Schunk 1989, de Bruin et al. 2011, Wolters 2011).

“The term “skill” is therefore used in a broad sense in the DP to encompass cognitive, metacognitive and affective skills. Cognitive skills include all the information-processing and thinking skills, often called “study skills” in a school environment.

国际文凭课程的中心也是教学与学习的方法。以下是国际文凭预科课程学习方法的理念

“技能的发展,如思维能力和沟通能力经常被认为是让学生更有效地超越学校为今后生活做准备的关键因素。 2007年对400家美国大型企业的招聘高管进行的调查发现,他们对新聘员工的前四名要求是口头和书面沟通能力、批判性思维和解决问题的能力、专业精神和职业道德,以及团队合作和协作能力(Trilling和Fadel 2009)。然而,许多学生仍在如何才能有效地学习上缺乏一些基本的技能。例如,良好的记笔记的能力与学业成就正相关,但研究表明,许多大学生即使在基本的技能,比如就讲座或文本做笔记上,仍然感觉困难(Kiewra 1985年,O’Donnell和Dansereau 1993年)。

“发展学生的ATL技能不仅仅是发展他们的认知技能。这也与发展情感和元认知技能有关,以及鼓励学生将学习视为一种他们“以主动的方式为自己做的事情,而不是对教学的被动反应”(Zimmerman 2000:65 )。通过发展ATL技能和学习者属性,DP学生可以成为“自我调节的学习者”(Kaplan 1998)。自我调节的学习者已经学会了如何设置学习目标、提出好的问题,在他们学习时自我审问,自我产生动机和毅力,尝试不同的学习过程,自我监测学习的有效性,反思其成就,并自我调整学习过程(Zimmerman和Schunk 1989,de Bruin等人2011,Wolters 2011)。 “因此,”技能“这个术语在国际文凭中广义上包括认知、元认知和情感技能。认知技能包括所有的信息处理和思维能力,通常在学校环境中称为“学习技能”。情感技能是行为和情感管理的技能,支持态度因素,例如韧性、毅力和自我激励,这些因素通常在教育成就中发挥重要作用。元认知技能让学生可以用来监控他们的学习技能和过程的有效性,更好地理解和评估他们的学习的技能。虽然这些技能可以在表现某种自然能力或天赋时使用,但是技能不同于自然能力或天赋,因为通过有意识地使

Affective skills are the skills of behaviour and emotional management underpinning attitudinal factors such as resilience, perseverance and self-motivation, which often have a large role to play in educational achievement. Metacognitive skills are the skills that students can use to monitor the effectiveness of their learning skills and processes, to better understand and evaluate their learning. Although these skills may be in use when manifesting a certain natural ability or talent, they are different to both of these because proficiency in any skill can be increased through the deliberate use of techniques and strategies, feedback and challenge. Skills are therefore highly teachable.”

用技术和策略,通过反思和挑战可以提高对任何技能的熟练掌握程度。因此,技能是高度可教的。

Self-Management The IB Diploma programme is a demanding course and students need to develop effective strategies to help them manage their work. Personal organisation is the foundation of self-management; to support this all students receive a Planner in which to record assignments and deadlines although some individuals decide to use online apps to help plan their time.

Communication The art of communication is an increasingly significant strategy for twenty-first century learners. The IBDP require students to develop the ability to share their ideas formally with others through the ToK presentation and the Individual Oral Commentaries in the Language and Literature programmes.

Social Learning is no longer an individual pursuit. The ability and willingness to collaborate with others to co-construct learning is an essential feature of the contemporary classroom and further embedded in the IBDP through the Group 4 Science project.

Thinking The Theory of Knowledge course is embedded in all IBDP subjects; its aim is to encourage students to think critically by considering how the eight Ways of Knowing integrate to produce or serve as receptors in eight Areas of Knowledge.

自我管理 IB文凭课程是一门苛刻的课程,学生需要制定有效的策略来帮助他们管理自己的功课。自己组织是自我管理的基础;为了支持这一点,所有学生都会收到一份计划表,记录作业和截止日期,也有些人决定使用在线应用软件来帮助计划他们自己的时间。

沟通 沟通的艺术是二十一世纪学习者日益重要的战略。 IBDP要求学生通过ToK演示、语言和文学课程中的个人口头评论,与他人正式分享他们的想法。

社会化 学习不再是单个人的追求。与他人合作共同构建学习的能力和意愿是当代课堂的一个重要特征,并通过第4组科学项目进一步嵌入国际文凭预科课程。

思维 知识理论课程嵌入所有IBDP课程;其目的是鼓励学生批判性地思考,考虑八种获取知识的方式是如何通过整合来产生或者作为受体来为八个知识领域服务。

Critical thinking is not only about analytical, convergent thinking; it

can also be expressed as divergent thinking that seeks to produce a

diverse range of answers.

Research The ability to generate dynamic research strategies and process their findings whilst practising academically honest practice is a key skill in the IB Diploma. It is essential for the Extended Essay and integral to a number of internally assessed components. Students are taught how to adapt their writing style to suit the demands of concept-based synthesis and evaluation. A range of research methods are modelled in order to support investigations for the Extended Essay from comprehensive literature reviews to questionnaires, surveys and experiments.

Motivation Intrinsic & extrinsic The level of extrinsic or external motivation for our students is generally very high e.g. family expectations, aspirational achievement, high regard for education.

In order to be most effective at performing at a conceptual level, students need to develop their own internal motivators, or intrinsic motivation. Sometimes this is difficult to manage for young people and they need the ongoing support of their teachers, Tutors and boarding staff to talk through key motivating factors. All our teachers are trained in coaching and can help support students who may be struggling with motivation and purpose.

批判性思维不仅仅是分析、融合各种思维; 它也可以表示为发散思维,寻求产生各种各样的答案。

研究 生成动态研究策略并处理研究中的各种发现,同时以学术诚实的态度来实践,这是IB文凭的关键技能。 它对于扩展论文的写作至关重要,也是多个内部评估的组成部分。 学生被教导如何让自己的写作风格与论文要求相适应,以及适应基于概念的综合性和评价性写作。 一系列的研究方法被转化成模型来支持扩展论文写作的各个方面,包括论文调查、文献综述、问卷调查和实验等。

动机 内在和外在 我们的学生的内在或外在动机的水平通常非常高,例如家庭期望、志向成就、高度尊重教育等。

为了在概念层面上有最佳的表现,学生需要发展自己的内在动机或内含动机。 有时,这对于年轻人来说很难管理,他们需要老师、导师和舍监通过主要的激励因素给予持续支持。 我们所有的教师都接受过教练培训,可以帮助那些可能在学习动机和目的上有困难的学生。

BULLOCK, K. IB Learner Profile: Literature Review (IBO, 2011)에서 발췌

The type of higher-level, conceptual learning that is at the heart of the IBDP can be a complex and layered process, an interaction between different aspects of learning. In order to articulate this process within the IBDP Bullock (2011) sub-divided the Learner Profile into four key domains of learning. These aspects of learning help students and teachers focus on the skills and capacities students need for success in the IBDP.

高级的、概念性的学习是IBDP的核心,它是一个复杂和分层次的过程,是学习的不同方面之间的相互作用。 为了在IBDP中阐明这一过程,Bullock(2011)将学习者概况细分为四个关键的学习领域。学习的这些方面帮助学生和教师专注于学生在国际文凭预科课程中取得成功所需的技能和能力。

Cognitive Higher order thinking skills Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning). Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, and David Krathwohl revisited the model in the mid-nineties and made some adjustments to accommodate progressions in pedagogy (Ander-son, Krathwohl et al 2000).

Bloom’s Taxonomy can help teachers to plan lessons and activities that challenge students to think beyond the lower order thinking skills and move towards more conceptually based higher order thinking that is valued in IBDP assessments. Through their time in the sixth form, students should be increasingly able to operate in the top three skill levels.

认知 高阶思维能力 布鲁姆的学习分类法于1956年在教育心理学家本杰明·布鲁姆博士的领导下创建,以促进更高层次的教育思维,如对概念的分析和评估、处理、程序和原则,而不仅仅是记住事实。 布鲁姆的前学生罗林·安德森(Lorin Anderson)和九十年代中期的大卫·克拉斯沃尔(David Krathwohl)重新考察了这个模型,并进行了一些调整以适应教育学的进步(Anderson,Krath-wohl等2000。

布鲁姆的分类学可以帮助教师计划课程和活动去挑战学生思考超越低阶思维技能,并走向更具概念的高阶思维,这是国际文凭评估的价值。 通过他们在第六学段的学习,学生应该越来越能够在前三个技能水平下操作。

The Four Domains of Learning学习的四个领域

The graph (above) demonstrates the six aspects of learning, Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating, in combination with a brief explanation of the process, and (examples of) verbs teachers can use to get students to think on these levels. Here, Bloom’s Taxonomy is situated in the four types of knowledge, Factual Knowledge of terminology and details, Conceptual Knowledge of relationships among pieces of concepts or theories, Procedural Knowledge of processes and methods of theories and problems, and Metacognitive Knowledge of learning strategies and processes. This chart starts with factual knowledge and remembering and builds in complexity as it moves clockwise. A comprehensive lesson will require students to apply multiple types of knowledge and cognitive skills.

图表(上图)展示了学习的六个方面:记忆、理解、应用、分析、评估和创新, 并结合了对过程的简要解释,以及教师可以通过给学生一些动词来引发学生思考这些水平的含义。 在这里,布鲁姆的分类法定位于四种类型的知识:术语和细节的事实知识、各种概念或理论之间的关系的概念性知识、关于理论和问题的各种过程和方法的程序性知识,以及学习策略和过程的元认知知识 。 这个图表从事实知识开始,按顺时针转动增加其复杂性。 一个全面的课程将要求学生应用多种类型的知识和认知技能。

Affective Wellbeing, Resilience & Perseverance We aim to place the student at the centre of everything we do as a school. As such we have established systems that maintain a pastoral overview of all students’ wellbeing through a coordinated Tutor programme and House system. Students’ welfare is continuously monitored and students regularly have focused conversations with their Tutor, Houseparent, WorkSmart counsellor, emotional counsellor or the Head of Sixth Form.

情感 良好状态、自我调整和坚韧 我们的目标是将学生放在我们作为学校所做的一切的中心。 因此,我们建立了系统,通过指导教师体系和宿舍体系之间的协调来为学生提供一整套的学习以外的支持,保持对所有学生的福祉的关怀。 学生的福祉不断受到监督,学生经常与他们的导师、舍监和学习顾问、情绪辅导员或第六学段的主管进行对话。

Supported by this network of professional staff and parents, our students receive the guidance and advice to support their wellbeing, develop their resilience, build positive relationships and establish strategies to persevere based on a growth mindset.

在这个专业人员和家长网络的支持下,我们的学生会得到指导和建议,以支持他们的健康、发展他们的自我调节能力、建立积极的关系,并建立基于成长心态的发展战略。

Report Attainment Grades (R Grades)Attainment grades in academic reports in the Sixth Form are awarded according to the same descriptors as the rest of the Senior School. This is a scale of 7-1, with 7 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Further details, including grade descriptors, can be found in the parent guide to assessment and reporting.

R grades will not be based on one test, but will include review of a range of assessments, homework, class work, written work, verbal work and practical activities.

The performance indicators are not an exhaustive list and not all performance indicators apply in every subject. Students do not have to meet every single performance indicator in each subject to be awarded that grade. Teachers will award the grade that most accurately describes the student’s attainment when taken as a whole over the

reporting period.

Transcript GradesAt the end of each academic year of IGCSE and IBDP study, departments will be asked to award Transcript Grades for all students. Unlike R grades, these are reported to universities in the US and some other countries as part of the application process.

Transcript Grades represent a holistic judgement of each student’s academic performance in each subject over the year and are not determined by any individual assessment. To ensure consistency, fairness and accuracy, Transcript Grades are moderated by Heads of Department before being submitted and after that point cannot be changed.

Though they are not determined by the exact same criteria, Year 12 Transcript Grades may also be taken as an indication of the Predicted Grades that students are likely to be awarded in September if their current academic performance, attitude to learning and effort outside the classroom are maintained at the same standard.

报告达标等级(R等级)在给分数的时候,第六学段学习成绩报告中的成绩等级与中学其他年级的成绩等级描述是相同的。这是7-1的等级,其中7为最高,1为最低。更多详细信息(包括成绩等级的描述)可在“评估和报告的家长指南”中找到。

R等级不是基于一个测试而给出,而是包括一系列的评估,如家庭作业、课堂作业、书面作业、口头工作和实践活动等。

对各个等级的描述并非详尽无遗,也并非所有描述都适用于每个科目。学生不必满足每个科目中的每一描述指标才能获得该等级。在整个报告期内,教师将把能最准确描述学生成绩的等级给予学生。

成绩单分数在IGCSE和IBDP学习阶段的每个学年结束时,我们要求各科系为所有学生给出成绩单分数。与R等级不同,这是作为申请过程的一部分而向美国和其他一些国家的大学提供的成绩报告。

成绩单成绩代表了每个学生在一年中每个学科的学业成绩的整体判断,并不是由任何单一的考试决定的。为了确保一致性、公平性和准确性,成绩单成绩在提交之前由部门负责人主持校对,提交之后无法更改。

虽然不是由完全相同的标准决定的,但是如果他们目前的学习成绩、学习态度和课堂外的努力都保持在相同的水准,那么12年级学生的成绩单成绩可以作为他们13年级九月份所将获得的预估成绩的指示。

Attainment, Transcript and Predicted Grades成绩报告、预估成绩、成绩单

IBDP Predicted GradesAround a month into Year 13, departments will issue students with Predicted Grades, which give an optimistic but realistic estimate of the score we expect each student to achieve in each of their subjects at the end of the course. Like Transcript Grades, these take a holistic view of the student’s academic performance and are never based on one or a small number of specific assessments. They are also reported to universities and are particularly important for applications to the UK, Canada and Hong Kong.

Many students will have worked hard over the summer to improve and therefore deserve Predicted Grades that are higher than their Year 12 Transcript Grades. To accommodate this, there will be a Prediction Review Period at the beginning of the first term of Year 13. During this time, students will have the opportunity to go through the summer work they have done with their teachers. They may also sit additional assessments to demonstrate sufficient improvement in their knowledge and application of Year 12 content. Those who do so whilst maintaining good marks in their ongoing Year 13 work may be awarded Predicted Grades that are higher than their Transcript Grades. Similarly, students who have not done sufficient work over the summer to maintain their performance may find that they are awarded Predicted Grades that are lower than their Year 12 Transcript Grades.

After the Prediction Review Period, Predicted Grades will be entered by departments and there will be no more additional assessments on previously studied material with the sole aim of improving them. Predicted Grades can still go up or down right up to the point at which the student’s application is sent, but only in response to improvement or deterioration in the work they do in the normal course of study. This means that students still have the chance to improve their Predicted Grades, but may only do so by focussing on their studies and getting better marks in homework, coursework and other assessments that are part of the Year 13 course.

IBDP预估成绩在13年级开始后大约一个月之内,各部门将向学生发布预估成绩,这是我们给出的对每个学生在课程结束时在每个科目中将取得的分数的乐观又实际的估计。与成绩单成绩一样,这些对学生的学习情况是一个全面的考察,并且永远不会基于一次或少数几次特定的考试。它们也在申请大学的时候提交给大学,对于英国、加拿大和香港的申请尤为重要。

许多学生将在暑假期间努力提高学习,因此他们值得获得高于他们12年级成绩单分数的预估成绩。为了适应这种情况,将在第13年第一学期开始时进行预估审查。在此期间,学生将有机会向老师展示自己在暑期内完成的工作。他们还可以参加额外的考试,以证明他们对12年级的知识内容和应用有足够的提高。那些这样做了且在13年级的继续学习中保持良好分数的学生可能会被授予高于其成绩单分数的预估成绩。同样,那些在暑假期间没有做足够的工作来保持其学习表现的学生可能会发现他们被授予的预估成绩会低于其12年级的成绩单成绩。

在预估审查期之后,各部门将输入预估成绩,并且将不再只为了提高预估成绩而对先前学习的内容进行额外的考试。预测成绩在学生的大学申请递交之前仍然可以上升或下降,但仅限于学生在正常课程中所做工作有了提高或下降。这意味着学生仍然有机会提高他们的预估成绩,但可能只会通过专注于他们的学习并在作业、课程和其他评估中获得更好的成绩来达到,这些都是13年级课程的一部分。

NLCS Jeju expects its students to behave honestly and with integrity in an academic environment. The school actively promotes respect for scholarship through its academic programmes and all students are given training in the study and research skills necessary to ensure academic honesty. This is also essential to success in the IB Diploma Programme, as the IB take academic honesty extremely seriously.

Academic honesty requires students to ensure that the work they submit is:

• authentic• wholly their own• based on their own ideas• expressed in their own language.

Where the work and ideas of others is used, its source must be identified and acknowledged. Where the language of others is used, it must be clearly quoted and its source referenced. Acknowledgement of source means identifying at least the author or person who owns the work, and the place from which the work or part of the work was sourced.

Authenticity applies equally to work done under test or examination conditions. The responses of students on a test or examination must be their own and must have been produced whilst abiding by the rules and guidelines set out by the teacher or examining authority.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting another person’s work as one’s own by presenting, copying or reproducing it without acknowledgement of the source. This applies whether the work is copied in full or in part, and even where it is edited or reworded. Plagiarism can be negligent (accidental) or dishonest (deliberate).

Cases of academic dishonesty are dealt with according to the school’s Academic Honesty Policy and Behaviour for Learning Policy. Ultimately, cheating in an exam or plagiarising work for an IA or EA may result in the student being disqualified from the IB Diploma and the NLCS Jeju Diploma.

NLCS Jeju希望学生在学术环境中诚实守信。学校通过其学术课程积极促进对学生的尊重,并为所有学生提供必要的学习和研究技能培训,以确保学术诚实。这对IB文凭课程的成功也至关重要,因为国际文凭组织非常重视学术诚信。

学术诚实要求学生确保他们提交的作品是:

· 真实可靠的

· 完全自己完成

· 根据自己的想法

· 用自己的语言表达。

在使用他人的工作和想法的地方,必须指明和承认其来源。在使用他人的语言的情况下,必须明确注明引用并说明其来源。确认来源意味着至少需要确定作品的作者或所有人,以及作品或部分作品的来源地。

真实性同样适用于在测验或考试条件下完成的工作。学生在测验或考试时的反应必须是他们自己的,必须在遵守教师或审查机构制定的规则和指导方针的情况下来产出。

抄袭被定义为“通过呈现、复制或再版他人的作品且不承认其来源于他人,而将其作为自己的作品”。无论作品是全部还是部分复制,甚至是编辑或改写作品,都属于抄袭。抄袭可能是疏忽所致(意外的),也可能是不诚实(故意的)。

我们根据学校的学术诚信政策和学习政策行为来处理学术不诚实案件。最终,在考试中作弊,或者把抄袭的作品用在IA或EA评估中,都可能导致学生被取消IB文凭和NLCS济州文凭的资格。

Academic Honesty学术诚信

Building a university portfolio创建自己的大学申请履历Service Whilst at school students need to build a portfolio that demonstrates their commitment to learning through developing their subject passion as well as to commit to service.

“In some communities students suffer from a lack of academic resources and opportunities. In other communities pervasive pressure to perform academically at high levels and to enter selective colleges takes an emotional toll on students and often squeezes out the time and energy students have to consider and contribute to others.”

Making Caring Common (p. 1; Harvard Graduate School of Education, 2014)

In 2016 Harvard University published a paper called Turning the Tide created by the MAKING CARING COMMON PROJECT from the Harvard Graduate School of Education highlighting some recommendations for potential applicants to US colleges:

• Engage in meaningful, sustained community service

• Initiate collective action that takes on community challenges

• Get involved in authentic, meaningful experiences with diversity

• ‘Doing with’ rather than ‘doing for’

• Take part in service that develops gratitude and a sense of responsibility for the future

• Prioritise the Quality – not Quantity – of your activities

Report available from www.makingcaringcommon.org

服务 在学校学生需要发展自己各方面的经验,展示他们不仅在学习上有热情,在学习之外也致力于社区服务。

“在一些社区,学生缺乏学术资源和机会。 在另一些社区,压力则在于学术上要达到高层次以及进入名牌大学,这会给学生带来情感上的缺失,并且经常挤出学生必须为他人考虑和做贡献的时间和精力。”

Making Caring Common (p. 1; Harvard Graduate School of Education, 2014)

在2016年,哈佛大学发表了一篇由MAKING CARING COMMON PROJECT 项目写的“扭转潮流”的文章,来自哈佛大学教育研究生院,强调了对美国大学潜在申请者的一些建议:

· 参与有意义的、持续的社区服务

· 发起集体行动来解决社区面临的挑战

· 参与真实的、有意义的多样性体验

· 和当地人一起做,而不是“为他们做”

· 参与那些具有长远责任感的社会服务

· 优先考虑你活动的质量 — 而不是数量

www.makingcaringcommon.org

Developing subject passion Students are encouraged to enrol in an Academic Society through which they can explore and deepen their passion for a particular subject area. In addition to the activities the society members initiate students have the opportunity to nominate themselves to the role of Chair, Secretary or Publicity Officer.

Trying yourself out Sixth Form students are encouraged to take an active part in a number of co-curricular activities (CCAs) each afternoon and the Bryant programme on Saturday mornings. This commitment can be endorsed by their personalised Creativity, Activity & Service projects, an integral feature of their Diploma programme experience.

In order to place some of this advice into context, here are some questions that UCLA have asked their applicants to discuss:

• Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

• Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you.

• What have you done to make your school or community a better place?

发展学科热情 鼓励学生参加学术协会,通过协会可以探索和深化他们对特定学科领域的热情。 除了协会成员发起的活动之外,学生还有机会提名自己担任主席、秘书或宣传的角色。

鼓励自己尝试 鼓励第六学段的学生参加每天下午的课外活动(CCA),并在星期六上午参加Bryant 活动。 这种承诺可以通过他们的个性化的”创造、活动、服务”项目来体现,这也是他们的国际文凭课程经验的一个不可或缺的特色。

为了将这些建议纳入具体的实践,以下是加州大学洛杉矶分校要求申请人讨论的一些问题:

· 举出一个例子,描述你的领导经验,你如何积极影响他人、帮助解决纠纷,或者对团队努力做出贡献。

· 描述你最喜欢的学科,并解释它如何影响了你。

· 你做了什么,使你的学校或社区变得更好?

KOREAN LITERATURE (Year 12) The course is built on the assumption that literature is concerned with our conceptions, interpretations and experiences of the world. The study of literature can therefore be seen as an exploration of the way it represents the complex pursuits, anxieties, joys and fears to which human beings are exposed in the daily business of living. It enables an exploration of one of the more enduring fields of human creativity, and provides opportunities for encouraging independent, original, critical and clear thinking. It also promotes respect for the imagination and a perceptive approach to the understanding and interpretation of literary works.

KOREAN LANGUAGE & LITERATURE (Year 12) The language A: language and literature course aims to develop students’ skills of textual analysis and the understanding that texts, both literary and non-literary, can be seen as autonomous yet simultaneously related to culturally determined reading practices. An understanding of the ways in which formal elements are used to create meaning in a text is combined with an exploration of how that meaning is affected by reading practices that are culturally defined and by the circumstances of production and reception.

Curriculum Content Suggested Reading or Extension Activities Half Term 1 (Aug – Oct)

Part 1 : Language in cultural context (two topics) In this part of the course students are given the opportunity to explore how language develops in specific cultural contexts, how it impacts on the world, and how language shapes both individual and group identity. Students studying this part of the course should pay particular attention to the role of language in relation to the many areas involved in the construction of meaning and understanding of particular issues in the world.

Written Tasks : HL and SL students are required to submit one written task, 800–1,000 words in length, exploring an aspect of the material studied in the course.

Half Term 2 (Nov – Dec)

Part 2 : Language and mass communication In part 2 students consider the way language is used in the media. This section also addresses the issue of how the production and reception of texts is influenced by the medium through which they are delivered.

Written Tasks : A written task demonstrates the student’s ability to choose an imaginative way of exploring an aspect of the material studied in the course.

Half Term 3 (Jan – Feb)

Part 4 : Literature - critical study (One work is coverd) Students are required to engage in a critical examination of a particular extract drawn from a work that has been studied in part 4 of the language A: language and literature course.

All students will begin Psychology with an Introduction unit. The primary purpose of this unit is to introduce psychology as a subject and to provide students with the relevant schematic framework with which they will be able to think more critically about research we encounter in the course. There will be one in class assessment. The test will compose of four parts:

A. Key terms B. Short answer questions C. Identifying parts of an experiment D. Designing an experiment

● All students will then move onto our first Themantic Unit -

Criminology. This unit is designed to introduce students to the study of psychology by investigating a range of factors that may explain criminal behaviour starting with biological approach.

Assessment: Practice Short Answer Response (SAR): Question: Explain how damage to the brain can influence behaviour. Take Home SAR Students will be given one SAR to work on over time and submit a 200 – 400 word response. Question: Explain how one hormone influences behaviour. In addition, HL Students will study: The value of animal models in psychology research and whether animal research can provide insight into human behaviour. This topic is designed to reinforce and build on learning from the Criminology unit and focuses on how studies on animals have deepened our understanding of the relationships between biological variables and human behaviour.

● Internal Assessment chapter

June) SL Internal Assessment The Standard Level Internal Assessment consists of replicating an existing (published) simple experiment (meaning one independent variable and one dependent variable), then writing a report between 1000 and 1500 words describing your study, your results, and possible conclusions that can be drawn, along with comparison to the original study you have replicated. HL Internal Assessment For the higher level assessment, the internal assessment also consists of a simple experimental study, with the same general guidelines. There are a few differences for the HL report. The report for HL is longer (1500-2000 words) and it requires more detailed explanations of your hypothesis and null hypothesis, and it also has more more detailed requirements for the results sections (use of inferential statistics and implications for your hypotheses).

All students will revise topics relevant to their individual needs and complete the internally set and marked examination.

Half Term 1

(Aug – Oct)

Functions, Transformations of Functions, Indices/Logarithmic Functions, Polynomial Rational Functions and Inequalities

Half-term one is a very busy term for Higher Level students. This term lays the foundations for the more advanced topics tackled in subsequent terms. The students begin by developing their understanding of functions, a topic that was introduced to them at IGCSE. They are expected to become confident in identifying all the features of a given range of functions, including exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and absolute. Students explore and describe multiple transformations of a function, solving problems and relating functions to their 'parent' function. Using the concept of combinations, students explore and develop the binomial expansion, using this to solve problems involving specific terms when multiplying out to obtain a polynomial. They learn about polynomials and rational functions, and their properties.

Half Term 2

(Nov – Dec)

Trigonometric Identities and Functions, Trigonometric Equations, Sequences and Binomials and Induction and Proofs

Trigonometry is developed further into the derivation, use and proof of trigonometric identities. Students also learn about proof by induction and are encouraged to familiarise themselves with other types of proof, e.g. proof by contradiction. They determine solution sets for inequalities, including those using absolute expressions. Students formalise 'nth-term' and 'sum of n terms' calculations for arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. They learn about counting principles: the differences between permutations and combinations, as well as the corresponding formulae.

Students will also be guided through the induction process and they will be able to use this powerful method to prove various statements.

Half Term 3

(Jan – Feb)

Math Exploration and Differentiation 1

All students have to complete an internal assessment in Mathematics; this is referred to as the Mathematical Exploration and contributes 20% to the student's final grade. Since the start of the academic year, students will have been prompted to research and explore mathematics further and to identify areas of mathematics that they feel most interested in. For the Exploration, which the draft will be completed this term, the students need to write approximately 2000 words/6-10 pages on a chosen area of interest and they need to engage in independent research and development to do this.

Many of the topics from term 1 are developed further throughout this time. Students are re-introduced to calculus this term and are expected to be able to differentiate polynomials from first principles. They become familiar with the gradient functions corresponding to all the functions covered in term 1 and they develop proficiency in identifying properties of curve, such as maxima and minima points. Using the

trigonometric identities derived in term 1, the students can solve trigonometric equations of increasing complexity and are encouraged to develop independent and persistent approaches to these types of problems. Students are encouraged to become proficient in using their GDCs when graphing or solving all these types of problems. The matrix determinant proves to be a very useful tool when solving problems involving vectors in Year 13 and this may be introduced to students at this time.

Half Term 4

(Feb – Apr)

Integration 1

Students will be able to use integration to find areas bounded by curves as well as volumes of revolution. Further advanced techniques of integration are applied when solving problems, including integration by substitution and by parts.

Summer Term

(Apr – June)

Complex Numbers 1 and Vectors 1

They are introduced to the idea of a complex number as a by-product of processes to solve cubics - its historical context. They may engage in discussions about Cardano, Tartaglia and the other mathematicians in Italy at the time, bringing in elements of Theory of Knowledge. Complex Numbers are developed in some depth to include such things as the knowledge and application of de Moivre's theorem and using complex numbers to prove trigonometric identities. The IGCSE knowledge of vectors is developed much further at IB. During this term the students focus on 2D and 3D equations of lines and using the scalar (dot) product when solving problems.

Assessment tasks, methods and frequency

Students will undertake 5 common assessed tasks in the year. 2 of these will be 120 minute exams and 3 will be in the form of written homework tasks. During year 12 all students will complete 2 drafts of their mathematical exploration and then submit a third and final piece. Students are entitled to receive formal written feedback from their teacher and a guide grade.

Equipment that students need Students are required to bring a TI Nspire CX (not CAS) calculator, a pair of compasses, a protractor and a ruler in addition to their regular equipment. Students may bring a different type of calculator, however the mode of instruction will be based upon the TI Nspire CX. Students should seek advice before purchasing a different calculator.

Parents / guardians can help their child by:

Students at this level tend to need the most help organising their time wisely in order to ensure that they get the right balance of revision, practise and further reading in order to meet their own individual needs. Students require help and encouragement from their parents and teacher to formulate strategies for compartmentalizing their independent time. Students particularly need help in identifying their weaknesses and taking action. Parents could also encourage students to read mathematical explorations that they can find online. This will put the students in an advantageous position when they come to write their own exploration. Reading mathematics for pleasure is also very useful.

韩国文学(十二年级) 本课程是建构于文学与我们对于世界的认识、诠释与体验习习相关的假说上。文学研究可以被视为探索文学表现复杂情感追求、焦虑、喜悦和恐惧的各种方式,而这样的情绪都是与人类的日常生活息息相关的。这使我们对于持续发展的人类创作有更深一层的理解,同时也使我们的思考模式变得更独立、独特、具批判性和清晰。研究文学也使我们更加重视想像力,以及理解诠释文学作品的多元观点。
