Unit of Inquiry (UOI)

What do we want students to know about?

The six transdisciplinary themes are considered essential in the context of a programme of international education. Students inquire into and learn about these globally significant issues in the context of units of inquiry, each of which addresses a central idea relevant to a particular transdisciplinary theme. Lines of inquiry are identified in order to explore the scope of the central idea for each unit. These units collectively constitute BNMS programme of inquiry.

PYP Transdisciplinary Themes
These themes:
- Have global significance – for all students in all cultures
- Offer students the opportunity to explore the commonalities of human experience
- Are supported by knowledge, concepts and skills from the traditional subject areas but utilise them in ways that transcend the confines of these subjects, thereby contributing to a transdisciplinary model of teaching and learning
- Will be revisited throughout the students’ years of schooling, so that the end result is immersion in broad-ranging, in-depth, articulated curriculum content
- Contribute to the common ground that unifies the curriculums in all PYP schools.
