IB Learner Profile

The IB Learner Profile

Inquirers -
Film Studies can enable me to be an inquirer because I believe that film can make help me generate curiosity, and to be aware of the world around us. Film Studies not only gives us a chance to explore another aspect of art, it also gives us the option to interact with communities instead of just focusing our studies in the classroom.

Knowledgeable -
As Film Studies largely focuses on several global issues, the subject enables us to be aware of our surroundings and to be conscious of what is going on in the world. Film Studies is also a very active subject, making students engage in class activities. As mentioned before, we are constantly learning new skills into having better filming techniques.

Thinkers -
Our creative minds are widely used in class during Film Studies, we not only have to think about solving different problems in situations that we are not familiar with, we have to use our creative minds to explore the different outcomes. In Film Studies, a lot of the time spent in class is to think, using our problem solving skills.

Communicators -
As said before, Film Studies is a very active subject. The majority of the time in class is used to have large discussions within the class, and to have time to express our thoughts with each other. Interaction within the class is a large part of the classes in Film Studies. I believe that Film Studies can enable us to become better communicators.

Principled -
Film Studies can make us principled students, promoting honesty with a strong sense of justice, and fairness. A large part of the classes are conducted in mutual respect, giving each other chances to explore the field of filming. As respect has been always present within Film Studies as well as other subjects, Film Studies should enable us to become better learners in general.

Open Minded -
Film Studies can make us students to be open minded learners, and to learn the different cultures and adapt to certain unfamiliar situations. Evaluation is always been an important part of Film Studies, as evaluation is what is needed to make us better students. Keeping an open mind at all times is required to perform well as a Film Studies student.
