1. Frame Your EE Research as a Knowledge Question (KQ)
Transform your EE topic into a TOK-style KQ. For instance:
- EE topic: “Why do societies resist renewable energy?”
- TOK form: “To what extent do ethical concerns limit scientific progress?”
Using a KQ aligns your investigation with TOK’s core inquiry approach.
