GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE
CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK (Science
Education Institute SEI-DOST, 2011)
• Science is for everyone.
• Science is both content and process.
• School science should emphasize depth
rather breadth, coherence rather than
fragmentation, and use of evidence in
constructing explanation.
• School science should be relevant and
useful.
• School science should nurture interest in
learning.
• School science should demonstrate a
commitment to the development of a
culture of science.
• School science should promote the
strong link between science and
technology including indigenous
technology.
• School science should recognize that
science and technology reflect,
influence, and shape our culture.
• Aims for eudaimonia as the ultimate
good.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND

HUMAN FLOURISHING
Every discovery, innovation, and success
contributes to our pool of human
knowledge.
Human perpetual need to locate himself in
the world by finding proofs to trace
evolution
Elicits our idea of self – importance.
Technology is a human activity we excel in
a result of achieving science.
Good is inherently related to the truth.
