The Diploma Programme was the first programme to be devised and
implemented by the International Baccalaureate over fifty years
ago. Since its creation, the curriculum upon which the programme is
based has been continuously developed to take into account the
rapidly changing needs of students, schools, higher education and
employment contexts. For much of that time, the programme has
included three essential components that must be undertaken by
students who wish to graduate with the Diploma: Theory of
Knowledge, Extended Essay and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).
Taken together, over time these have come to be regarded as a
"core" of the Diploma Programme, although they were not described
as such at the outset. This edited collection is intended to
provide input into the current review of the IB Diploma Programme.
It comprises contributions from experienced authors - researchers
and practitioners - who were invited to reflect upon the nature of
the core as it exists at present, to raise issues in relation to
the future development of the core, and to share experience in the
learning and teaching of the core components across a wide range of
schools, in both national and international systems of education.
Questions concerning the concept of the core as a whole, developing
students as internationally-minded thinkers, and the challenges of
bringing coherence to the core in establishing a holistic approach
to the curriculum, underpin the individual chapters throughout.
