    Study Notes

    Science and Technology

    • Scientific activity is centered on research, leading to the discovery or production of new knowledge.
    • This new knowledge may or may not have any direct or immediate application.
    • Technology involves the systematic knowledge of the industrial arts, and its outcome is more concrete than science, resulting in the production of tangible things.

    Historical Development of Science and Technology in the Philippines

    • Before the arrival of the Spaniards in 1521, there is little reliable written information about Philippine society, culture, and technology.
    • During the short-lived Philippine Republic (1898-1900), there was little development in science and technology.
    • The government established a secular educational system, creating the Universidad Literaria de Filipinas, which offered courses in law, medicine, surgery, pharmacy, and notary public.

    Science and Technology During the American Regime

    • Science and technology in the Philippines advanced rapidly during the American regime.
    • The government encouraged and supported an extensive public education system, granted scholarships for higher education in science and engineering, and established science research agencies and public services.
    • The Americans introduced a system of secularized public school education, creating a Department of Public Instruction in the Philippines in 1901.

    Science and Technology During the Spanish Regime

    • The beginnings of modern science and technology in the Philippines can be traced to the Spanish regime.
    • The Spaniards established schools, hospitals, and started scientific research, which had important consequences for the rise of the country's professions.
    • The direction and pace of development of science and technology were shaped by the role of the religious orders in the conquest and colonization of the archipelago and by economic and trade policies adopted by the colonial government.
    • The Spanish conquest and colonization of the archipelago were facilitated by the adoption of an essentially religious strategy known as reduccion, which required the consolidation of scattered barangay communities into fewer, larger, and more compact settlements.
