LESSON 4 INDIGENOUS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN THE PHILIPPINES By: AS BEJOC Indigenous Science & Technology in the Philippines ◻ Discuss the concept of indigenous Science and, ◻ Discuss the contribution of Indigenous Science in the development of Science & Technology in the Philippines.  Indigenous Science & Technology in the Philippines ◻During early times our ancestors have developed alternative ideas in explaining various phenomena and in explaining the world around them. Indigenous Science & Technology in the Philippines Meat preservation Indigenous Science & Technology in the Philippines ◻ Indigenous Knowledge System  Indigenous Knowledge System ◻ Is embedded in the daily life experiences of young children as they grow up. ◻ A prominent practice, and lessons people learned are intimately interwoven with their culture and the environment. ◻ Lessons comprise good values & life stories of people on their daily struggles.  Indigenous Knowledge System ◻ FEMALE CIRCUMCISSION  Indigenous Knowledge System ◻ Key facts; Female genital Mutilation ◻ Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. ◻ The procedure has no health benefits for girls and women. ◻ Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, as well as complications in childbirth and increased risk of newborn deaths. ◻ More than 200 million girls and women alive today have been cut in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where FGM is concentrated (1). ◻ FGM is mostly carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15. ◻ FGM is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.  Indigenous Knowledge System ◻ Cultures, are customary beliefs, social forms and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group. ◻ Diversions or a way of life shared by people in a place or time. Indigenous Science & Culture ◻ Bride kidnapping, also known as marriage by abduction or marriage by capture, is a practice in which a man abducts the woman he wishes to marry. It continues to occur in countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus region, and parts of Africa, and among peoples as diverse as the Hmong in Southeast Asia, the Tzeltal in Mexico, and the Romani in Europe. Bride Capture  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Observing animal behavior & Celestial ◻ bodies in predicting weather conditions & seasons. Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ The use of herbal medicine.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Preserving foods Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People Pickling is the process to preserve food with salt water or vinegar.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Classifying plants & animals into families & groups based on cultural properties.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Acording to Waddy in 1988, aboriginal people classify plants & animals in various ways, with the simplest being the binary classification (plants). ◻ Or as being totemic or non- totemic.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Preserving & selecting good seeds for planting. Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ The use of indigenous technology in daily lives.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Building local irrigation systems.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Classification of soil for planting based on cultural properties.  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Producing wines & TUBA juices from tropical fruits. MANGO JUICE  Examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught & practiced by Indigenous People ◻ Keeping custom of growing plants & vegetables in the yard.  Indigenous Science ◻ Is part of the indigenous knowledge system practiced by different groups of people & early civilizations. (Gribbin 2001,:Mkapa 2004,: Sibisi 2004)  Indigenous Science ◻ It includes complex arrays of knowledge, expertise, practices & representations that guide human societies in their enumerable interactions with the natural milieu: ◻ Agriculture ◻ Medicine ◻ Naming & explaining natural phenomena ◻ Strategies for coping with the changing environments.  Indigenous Science ◻ It is collectively lived in & experienced by the people of a given culture. (Pawilen,2005 ; Ogawa 1995) ◻ Includes everything from Metaphysics to Philosophy & various practical technologies ( by indigenous people both past & present. (Cajete2004)  Indigenous Science ◻ Indigenous beliefs (as cited by Johnston 2000) 1. Motivating attitudes 2. Cooperating attitudes 3. Practical attitudes 4. Reflective attitudes Positive values in learning & doing science & bringing science in personal level  Indigenous Science ◻ Pawilen 2005, explained indigenous science knowledge has developed diverse structures and contents through the interplay between society and environment.  Indigenous Science ◻ Sibisi 2004, pointed out that indigenous science Constellations provide the basics of astronomy, pharmacology, food technology, or metallurgy. Food technology is a branch of food science that deals with the production processes that makefoods. Early scientific research into food technology concentrated on food preservation  Indigenous Science Metallurgy  Indigenous Science ◻ Indigenous Science gave birth to the development of Science Technology as a field & as a discipline. ◻ Helped people in understanding the natural environment and in coping with everyday life.
