INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY BAYANI T. VICENCIO OBJECTIVES : At the end of this discussion, you must be able to answer the following questions: 1. How do we define Science? Technology? and Society? 2. How do science, technology and society interact with each other? 3. What is Science, Technology and Society (STS)? 4. What are the historical antecedents that changes the course of STS in the: a. world (ancient, middle and modern ages) b. in the Philippines ACTIVITY: Create an ACROSTIC poem which describes the word SCIENCE. S- C- I- E- N- C- E- ACTIVITY: ____ ____ ____ TECHNOL ____ OGY ____ Fill in the bubble diagram with ideas or concept related t TECHNOLOGY ACTIVITY: Perform a tableau to show your understanding of the concept of SOCIETY What is SCIENCE? Science as an idea Science as a body of knowledge Science as an intellectual activity Science as personal and social activity What is SCIENCE? came from Latin word “scientia” - KNOWLEDGE a system of acquiring knowledge that has been produced and validated by systematic process of inquiry as a process used to solve problems or develop an understanding of nature that involves testing possible answers. Scientific knowledge – outcome of DISCOVERY Concerned with “know- why” What is SCIENCE? Science as an idea. It includes ideas, theories, laws and all available systematic explanations and observations about the natural and physical world. Science as a body of knowledge. It is a subject or a discipline that deals with the process of learning about the natural and physical world. This is what we refer to as school science. Science as an intellectual activity. It encompasses a systematic and practical study of the natural and physical world. This process of study involves systematic observation and experimentation. Science as personal and social activity. This explains that scientific knowledge and activities are interwoven with people’s lives to develop better understanding of the world around them and to raise the quality of life. What is SCIENCE?  What is TECHNOLOGY ? came from Greek word “techne” meaning “art, skill, or cunning of hand It is the application of scientific knowledge, laws and principles to produce services, materials, tools and machines aimed at solving real-world problem. Dynamic cumulative system of reproducible methods, techniques, and processes which may be derived from empirical “know-how”.  What is TECHNOLOGY ? It refers to methods, systems and devices which are the result of scientific knowledge being used for practical purposes. The human attempt to change the world...by creating products that make our life easier..  Science or Technology? Identify whether the given information is associated to Science or Technology 1. Law of Gravity 6. Baking 2. Ballpen 7. Inquiry-based Teaching 3. Theory of Evolution Method 8. Google Classroom 4. Pregnancy Test 9. Theory of Language Acquisition 5. Laws of Aerodynamics 10. Face Recognition System What is SOCIETY ? came from Latin word “societas” meaning “a friendly association with others” A large group of people who live together in an organized way, making decisions about how to do things and sharing the work that needs to be done. A group of individuals characterized by common interest and may have distinctive culture and institutions.  INTRODUCTION TO SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY BAYANI T.
