 SCIENCE
TECHNOLOGY
& SOCIETY
 OBJECTIVES
• Differentiate science, technology, and
society;
• Explain the interrelatedness of science,
technology, and society; and
• Give examples of scientific and
technological developments that improve
our way of life.
 DEFINITION OF TERMS
SCIENCE
is the systematic study of nature, both living and nonliving aspects of nature
including natural phenomena like thunder, weather etc.
TECHNOLOGY
is the organization of knowledge for the achievement of practical purposes or a set
of skills, techniques or activities for shaping materials and fabricating objects for
practical ends
SOCIETY
is the system of collective, cohabitation of groups of individuals with
mutual understanding, benefits, and common goals.
 DEFINITION OF TERMS
SCIENCE
-is the systematic study of the natural world based on observation,
experimentation, and evidence-based reasoning. Its main goal is to understand
how the universe and its phenomena work.
TECHNOLOGY
- is the application of scientific knowledge to create tools, systems, and
processes that solve problems and improve human life.
SOCIETY
is a group of individuals who interact with one another, share a common
culture, and are connected by social relationships, institutions, and norms.
It provides a framework for organizing human behavior, fostering
cooperation, and meeting the needs of its members.
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY
• An interdisciplinary field that explores the interactions and
interdependence between scientific knowledge, technological
innovations, and societal values, practices, and development. It
examines how science and technology shape society and, in turn,
how societal needs, ethics, and culture influence scientific
research and technological advancements.
 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FIELDS
Life Science
It is commonly defined by sciences that pertain to living organisms like
microorganisms, plants, animals, and most importantly human beings.

This field is under the Department of Science

and Technology (DOST), which is responsible
for coordinating and funding different
Filipino scientists/researchers and
inventors, which can help the progress of
science and technology in the Philippines.
Botany and Zoology
Botany is the scientific study of
plants
Zoology is the scientific study of
animals

The two of the highly sought-after

research topics in the Philippines,
given its rich biodiversity in flora and
fauna.
 BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is technology that utilizes
biological systems, living organisms or
parts of this to develop or create
different products
• Vaccines
• GMO products
• CRISPR-based tools
• Cloned animals
• Biofuels
 ENGINEERING
Is the field of science that applies both
science and math to solve problems. It
concerns the use of technology in practical
ways that can advance the human
condition.
Some of the fields of engineering include
mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, civil engineering, structural
engineering, and industrial engineering.
 AGRICULTURE AND AQUACULTURE
Agriculture is the field of science where it
concerns the different techniques of land
cultivation, crop and livestock raising, or
otherwise farming.

Aquaculture is breeding, raising, and

harvesting fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants.
 METAL INDUSTRY
This -industry deals with the creation and
innovation of metallic and steel products.

The metal/steel industry has shown

remarkable technological dynamism over
the centuries and with the growing product
innovation, there has been a great
significance on the steel economic and
political influence.
 FOOD AND NUTRITION
Food science or nutritional science is the
field of science studying the nature of
foods and the natural changes in them
resulting from handling and processing.

It is the science concerned with food and

nourishment and the role of nutrients in
health.
 HEALTH
In the Philippines, healthcare is under the
Department of Health (DOH). This
government office is responsible for
organizing public healthcare and making
sure that all Filipino citizens have access to
quality health services
This office is also responsible for supervising
and funding research pertaining to new
medicines and medical devices.
 ANTI-CANCER RESEARCH
Soybean is a very sought-after crop, as its by-products are
used to generate bioethanol, and most importantly it is linked
with cancer research. During the past decade, soybean has
been extensively studied due to its 43-amino acid polypeptide
called lunasin.

The anti-cancer properties of lunasin were first discovered by Dr. Alfredo

Galvez and Dr. Benito de Lumen, both Filipino doctors, when they were
enhancing the nutritional properties of soy protein. Dr. Galvez observed
mitotic disruptive properties of lunasin in mammalian cancer cells. He saw
that it prevented normal cells from turning into cancerous cells.
 SOCIAL SCIENCES
Raul V. Fabella. He had written articles in both theoretical and
applied fields; political economy and rent-seeking; the theory
of teams; regulation; international economics; and
mathematical economics and was associated with the
concepts of "Olson ratio" in rent-seeking, egalitarian Nash
bargaining solutions, and debt-adjusted real effective
exchange rate.

 SOCIAL SCIENCES
Teodoro Agoncillo, a 20th-century Filipino historian, received
the national scientist award for his contributions in the field of
history. He also wrote books regarding Philippine History like
History of the Filipino People.

Encarnacion Alzona. She was an advocate of women's

suffrage in the Philippines and authored the book The Filipino
Woman: Her Social, Economic and Political Status (1565-1933)
that stated a stable account for women despite their lack in
political and social rights.
 FORESTRY
- Forestry is the field of science that
practices planting, managing and taking
care of trees.
The governing body for the Philippine
forestry is the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR). Under this
department, the Forest Management
Bureau was the sector that focuses on
preserving the forest and the harvesting of
its resources.
Nature of Science,
Technology and
society
 Nature of

Science
• Science is believed to be a systematic study of nature.
• Those who study science are called scientists.
• Scientific results are linked to the development of new
products and new technologies, and contribute to economic
and medical progress, and to other real social and economic
activities.
 Nature of technology
• Technology is the product of science. Technologists are scientists.
Science originated from natural philosophy and was supported by
people's intellectual curiosity.
• The concept of linking scientific results to technology for utilization in
society became prevalent after around 1850, which is when the chemical
industry began to develop based on utilization of knowledge about
chemistry, and electrical technologies arose based on knowledge about
electromagnetism.
• Science also has become a major influence on people’s sense of values,
changing the nature of society and becoming the engine driving society’s
progress from the viewpoint of civilization.
 Nature of society
• Sociologists are the people who study Society.
• Society is made up of a community of people.
• Society itself is not stagnant. Society is dynamic.
• Scientists and Technologists abode in a community where
see the needs of society.
• Any factor that affects society has an effect on the scientist
and the technologist who are also a part of the society.
