Abstract
Much research in the field of International Baccalaureate (IB) education has focused on the strengths and weaknesses of this innovative system of education. In contrast, this chapter aims to return the discussion to the more fundamental aspects of IB by considering more deeply the issue of “backward design” and its relevance to the IB in the Korean and Asian contexts. The backward design consists of a) setting goals for learning, b) designing evaluation criteria to assess mastery of the course materials, and c) planning of the instruction in order to attain the learning goals.
