Knowledge and Inquiry
 

Knowledge and Inquiry focuses on the nature of knowledge and its construction in areas such as the sciences, the social sciences, mathematics and the aesthetics. At RJC, we also offer a course on epistemology for all KI students so that they possess a firm foundation which they can use to discuss the nature and construction of knowledge in all subject areas.

We have:
A placement test, taken by all students who are interested in offering KI, so that we can best match students with the requisite aptitudes with the rigorous demands of our programme.

Enrichment lectures, given by university academics and JC subject tutors, on a variety of topics and issues

Tutorials that equip students with critical thinking skills, under the guidance of dedicated tutors.

Computer lab sessions where the students are encouraged to conduct their research and to use IT in an interactive way

A mini-research essay programme, where the tutors provide step-by-step guidance so that the students are well-prepared to embark on their Independent Study

The Raffles Renaissance Programme, which aims to expose the brightest minds of Raffles Junior College to the classic writings and centuries of intellectual thinking. Students are selected after sitting for a selection test in Term 1.
