The Concept of Science
and Technology
o Science education focuses on teaching, learning,
and understanding science.
o Learning science, on the other hand, includes
both pedagogy and the most interesting aspect,
which is helping students understand and love
science.
o Understanding science implies developing and
applying science-process skills and using science
literacy in understanding the natural world and
activities in everyday life.

in Basic Education
In basic education, science education helps
students learn important concepts and facts
that are related to everyday life including the
important skills such as process skills, critical
thinking skills, and life skills that are needed in
coping up with daily life activities.
 Science Education in Basic Education
• Science education also develops positive attitude
such as: the love for knowledge, passion for
innovative things, curiosity to study about
nature, and creativity.
• Science education will develop a strong [INSERT IMAGE HERE]

foundation for studying science and for

considering science-related careers in the future.
• It is an investment for the country to develop a
scientifically cultures and literate citizenry.

Science Education in Tertiary

Education
• In tertiary education, science education
deals with developing students’
understanding and appreciation of science
ideas and scientific works.
• It is done through offering basic science
courses in the General Education curriculum.
 Science Education in Tertiary Education
• Science education in the tertiary level also
focuses on the preparation of science teachers,
scientist, engineers, and other professionals in
various science-related fields such as
engineering, agriculture, medicine, and health [INSERT IMAGE HERE]

sciences.
• The state provides scholarships to encourage
more students to pursue science courses.

Science schools in the Philippines
• One outstanding program for science
education supported by the government is
the establishment of schools in various parts
of the country.
• There are also several government programs
implemented by the Department of
Education and few private schools for
science education.
 Science Education in Tertiary Education
• This is a government program for gifted students
in the Philippines.
• It is a service institute of the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) whose mandate
is to offer free scholarship basis for secondary
course with special emphasis on subjects
pertaining to the sciences, with the end-view of
preparing its students for a science career
(Republic Act No. 3661).
Science Education in Tertiary Education

• They have brought honor to the Philippines through

their exemplary achievements in various international
competitions and research circles.
• When the students graduate from the school, they are
expected to pursue degrees in science and technology
at various colleges and universities locally or abroad.
Science Education in Tertiary Education
The SSES Project aims to develop Filipino
children equipped with scientific and
technological knowledge, skills, and values.
Its mission is to:
 provide a learning environment to science-
inclined children through a special curriculum
that recognizes the multiple intelligences of the
learners;
 promote the development of lifelong learning
skills; and
 foster the holistic development of the learners.

SUMMARY
Science Education deals with the teaching and learning of science in helping
the public develop science literacy. This is important in the promotion and
development of science and technology in the country. Science deals with the
development of people in science, which is the heart of science, technology and
society.
Indigenous Science and
Technology in the
Philippines

indigenous science; and

 Discuss the contribution of

indigenous science in the
development of science and
technology in the Philippines.

Indigenous Knowledge
System
o Indigenous knowledge is embedded in
the daily life experiences of young
children as they grow up.
o They live and grow in a society where the
members of the community prominently
practice indigenous knowledge.
o Their parents and other older folks served
as their first teachers and their methods
of teaching are very effective in
transmitting cultural knowledge in their
minds.
 Indigenous Knowledge System
• The lessons they learned are intimately
interwoven with their culture and the
environment.
• These lessons comprised of good values
and life stories of people on their daily [INSERT IMAGE HERE]

life struggles.
• Their views about nature and their
reflections on their experiences in daily
life are evident in their stories, poems,
and songs.
 Indigenous Science
• Indigenous science is part of the indigenous knowledge
system practiced by different groups of people and early
civilizations.
• It includes arrays of knowledge, expertise, practices, and
representations that guide human societies in their
enumerable interactions with the natural milieu: agriculture,
medicine, naming and explaining natural phenomena, and
strategies for coping with changing environments.
 Indigenous Science
Indigenous beliefs also develop
desirable values that are relevant or
consistent to scientific attitudes as
identified by Johnston (200), namely:

1. Motivating attitudes;
2. Cooperating attitudes;
3. Practical attitudes; and
4. Reflective attitudes.

The Concept of Indigenous
Science
1. Indigenous science uses science process skills
such as observing, comparing, classifying,
measuring, problem solving, inferring,
communicating, and predicting.
2. Indigenous science is guided by culture and
community values such as the following:
 The land is a source of life. It is a precious gift
from the creator.
The Concept of Indigenous
Science
 The land is a source of life. It is a precious gift from
the creator.
 The Earth is revered as “Mother Earth.” It is the
origin of their identity as people.
 All living and nonliving things are interconnected
and interdependent with each other.
 Human beings are stewards or trustee of the land
and other natural resources,. They have a
responsibility to preserve it.
 Nature is a friend to human beings – it needs
respect and proper care.
