 The early inhabitants of the archipelago had their own

culture and traditions

- own belief sytem and indigenous

knowledge
- keeps them organized and sustained their
lives and communities for many years

• Musica Instruments

**From our history, science and technology brought us into a new dimension
of life and way of living. It provides as with the convenience and easiness of
life.
 NOW!!
Let us know more about science and technology and its role to
the nation building…
Let us know first what is:

Science- encompasses the systematic study of the structure and behavior

of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Technology- is the application of scientific knowledge for practical
purposes.
Science and Technology- Science and technology are key drivers to
development, because technological and scientific revolutions underpin
economic advances, improvements in health systems, education and
infrastructure.

 The major contributions of science and technology to

Philippine nation-building are linked to its socio-
economic progress and its industrialization.

 Science and Technology hold the key to the progress and

development of any nation. Technology plays a
Fundamental role in wealth creation, improvement of the quality
of life and real economic growth and transformation in any
society.

 Science and technology are also essential tools in every sector of a

society. A nation lacking in science and technology will forever
depend on those who claim to be the custodians of scientific and
technological knowledge, even if such a country has crude oil.

 Science and technology impacts all aspects of our lives as will as the
planet we live on
 Science and technology based innovations have been used for
detriment of mankind, pursued for either wealth and power.
ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN NATION BUILDING
⃒

 Science and Technology as one of the main driving forces of economic

growth of nations.

Countries that achieved much through science and technology:

 India
 South Korea
 Taiwan

** These countries are examples for the developing countries that identified
the absolute importance of science and technology for economic growth.

Necessities:
 To generate and develop new knowledge in science and technology for
application nationally through our own research capability.
 To concentrate on the rapid transfer and exchange of proven technologies
from other nations to reap the benefits of the global trends to simulate our
economic growth.
 To consider and rethink about the role of scientists and technologists in
stimulating the economic well-being of the country.

 The role that science and technology has played in improving

the life conditions across the globe is vivid, but the benefit
has to been harvested maximum by all countries. Science
and technology has made life a lot easier and also a lot better
with the advancement of medicines and analysis on many
different aspects.
