14. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course deals with the interactions between science and
technology and social, cultural, political and economic contexts that
shaped and are shaped by them.
The interdisciplinary course engages the students to confront the
realities brought about by science and technology in society. Such
realities pervade the personal, the public, and the global aspects of
our living and are integral to human development. This course
seeks to instill reflective knowledge in the students that they are
able to live good life and display ethical decision making in the face
of scientific and technological advancement. The course also
includes mandatory topics on climate change and environmental
awareness.
16. Learning Outcomes:
• Discussed the interactions between
science and technology throughout
history;
• Discussed how scientific and
technological developments affect
society and the environment; and
• Identified the paradigm shifts in history.
18. a) Science can be defined by the
following:
Science as an idea. It includes ideas, theories,
and all available systematic explanations and
observations about the natural and physical world.
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.
19. a) Science can be defined by the
following:
Science as a body of knowledge. It is a subject or a
discipline, a field of study, or a body of knowledge that
deals with the process of learning about the natural and
physical world. This is what we refer to as school science.
Science as a personal and social activity. This
explains that science is both knowledge and activities
done by human beings to develop better understanding of
the world around them. It is to improve life and to survive
in life. It is interwoven in people`s lives.
20. The Oxford dictionary
defines technology as “the application of
scientific knowledge for practical purposes,
especially in industry.” Technology uses science
to solve problems, and science uses technology
to make new discoveries.
22. FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Science (Theory) Technology (Practice)
Search for knowledge Practical application of
knowledge
Way of understanding
ourselves and the physical
world
Way of adapting ourselves to
the physical world
Process of asking questions
and finding answers, then
creating broad generalizations.
Process of finding solutions to
human problems to make lives
easier and better
23. FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Science (Theory) Technology (Practice)
Looks for order or patterns in
the physical world.
Looks for ways to control the
physical world
Evaluated by how well the
facts support the conclusion or
theory
Evaluated by how well it works
Limited by the ability to collect
relevant facts
Limited by financial costs and
safety concerns
Discoveries give rise to
technological advances.
Advances gives rise to
scientific discoveries
24. If I were an inventor…
For this activity, address the question: “If you were an
inventor, what would you invent?” In thinking about an
invention, make sure that you come up with one that has
not been invented yet but is possible to be invented in the
near future. Sketch a draft of the invention and then answer
the following questions:
1. What is your invention? What does it do?
2. How is your invention similar to or different from existing
tools or technologies in terms of function?
3. Why is there a need for this invention? How will this
invention make the world a better place to live in?
26. The development of S&T is as old as mankind. It
started long before the prehistoric times. Science and
technology indeed play major roles in the everyday life.
They make difficult and complicated tasks easier and
allow people to do more with so little effort and time.
The developments in this field are not just products of
people`s imagination or a one-time process; they are
also brought about by gradual improvements to earlier
works from different time periods. The driving force
behind this continuous progress is the desire to raise
the quality of life of people.
