TOK Talk · Replicability: 2023 TOK Essay Title 1
In this episode, I sat down with Donna Gee (IB Design Technology Teacher) and Michael Stewart (IB Psychology and TOK Teacher) to unpack and wrestle with 2023 TOK Essay Title 1: Is replicability necessary in the production of knowledge? Discuss with reference to two areas of knowledge.

​We had a rich discussion which I hope you’ll find insightful into the role and relevance of replicability in different Areas of Knowledge.

Found this really useful for my TOK essay! I'm using psychology and biology; what would you guys consider a "counter-argument" for biology, given that you guys say that replication is necessary in it?

When you think about counter arguments, it does not necessarily need to be the exact opposite - but perhaps if you think about the limitations of replicability in something like biology you will find plenty to explore about when it might not be as necessary, or perhaps when it just might not be possible and therefore Biologists must find another way to validate their ideas.
