Study Notes
Science, Technology, Society, and Technology Education (STS)
-
Science: Latin word "sciencia" meaning knowledge. Involves the scientific method, leading to concepts, methods, principles, theories, laws, and procedures for understanding natural phenomena.
-
Technology: Greek word "techne" meaning art, skill, or cunning hand. Technology involves applying scientific expertise, laws, and principles to create services, products, instruments, and machines to solve problems. Technology is a result of scientific investigation.
-
Society: Latin word "societas" meaning individual belonging to a group. Society is a community of people interacting in a geographic or social area with a shared political authority and cultural expectations.
Global Citizenship and Education
-
Global Citizenship (GC): A sense of belonging to a broader community beyond national boundaries, emphasizing common humanity, and interconnectedness.
-
Global Citizenship Education (GCED): Aims to foster global citizens through four pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- A shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. Global partnership addressing poverty, health, education, inequality, economic growth, climate change, and environmental protection.
STS Education
- Prominence in school science curriculum, emphasizing the integration of cultural, socio-political contexts within which scientific knowledge was developed.
Paradigm of STS Teaching and Learning
- Science, technology, and society concepts interact.
- Focuses on interactions between science, technology, and social, cultural, political, and economic contexts.
- Examples from history are included to illustrate these interactions.
Importance of STS
- Encourages environmental awareness and protection efforts.
- Promotes critical thinking and awareness about the impacts of technology and science on society.
- Helps analyze societal issues and solutions using the STS lens.
- Celebrates Earth Day by emphasizing sustainability.
Scientific Revolution
- Transition from medieval thinking (476 AD to 1400) to modern scientific thought and innovations.
- Period of human history that includes significant events and discoveries (invention of the printing press, development of the microscope and telescope.)
- Evolution of understanding of the human origins and the use of tools in increasing complexity. (stone age, Paleolithic Period, Old Stone Age)
- Included advancements in agriculture, navigation, and communication.
- Major shift in intellectual, cultural, and scientific perspectives.
Historical Periods (examples):
- Neolithic Period (10,200 BC-2000 BC): Transition to agriculture.
- Paleolithic Period (2.5 MYA- 8000 BC): Early humans.
- Renaissance (15th-16th centuries): Rebirth of knowledge and innovation.
- Industrial Revolution (1700-1800): Transition to mechanization and mass production.
Key Theories and Concepts
- Social Darwinism: Applies biological evolution to society, suggesting that the powerful are superior.
- Social Exchange Theory: People's interactions are based on calculations of rewards/punishments or costs/benefits in interactions.
STS Educational Viewpoints
- Promote a broad-based science curriculum that integrates societal, cultural, and political contexts surrounding science.
Examples of Societal Cases for Resolution through STS
- Water shortage (linked to SDGs 2, 3, 6, & 14): Conservation measures needed.
- Illegal Wildlife Trade (linked to SDGs 13, 14 & 15): Conservation efforts needed.
