2. The Philippines is trying its best
to improve the state of science
education in the country. One of
the strategies is to establish
science schools that will
encourage students to pursue
their career in science and
technology and to nurture their
gifted potentials in science.

3. In all fairness with the Philippine
government, efforts to improve quality
education have always been part of its
plan of action. The Department of
Education, through the National
Education for all committee (NEC),
engaged in benchmarking strategy with
Southeast Asian Ministers of Education
Organization Regional Center for
Educational Innovation and Technology
(SEAMO INNOTECH).

5. The said undertaking stated
on February 2011 is to secure
affirmation of basic education
reforms(curriculum structures
and contents) towards
meeting the demands of 21st
century.

6. Getting deeper into the discourse of
science education, John Dewey (2001)
stressed the importance of utilizing the
natural environment to teach
students. Accordingly, nature must indeed
furnish its physical stimuli to
provide wealth of meaning through social
activities and thinking.
It is not surprising therefore that science
education is important.

SELECTED INDIGENOUS
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
IN THE PHILIPPINES

9. During the early times, Filipinos tried
to invent tools that will help them in
everyday life. They also developed
alternative ideas in explaining various
phenomena and in explaining the world
around them. This system of
knowledge is called indigenous
knowledge, which is the foundation
of indigenous science.

11. Individual Knowledge System
Indigenous knowledge is
imbedded in the daily life
experiences of young children as
they grow up. They live and
grow in a society where the
members of the community
prominently practice indigenous
knowledge.

12. Their parents and other older folks
served as their first teachers
and their methods of teaching are very
effective in transmitting cultural
knowledge in their minds. The lessons
they learned are intimately interwoven
with their culture and the environment.
These lessons comprised of good values
and life stories of people
on their daily life struggles.

14. SCIENCE,
TECHNOLOGY
AND SOCIETY AND
HUMAN
CONDITION

15. Science and technology have
endangered human life, the environment
and ecosystem, peace and security ,
undermining human moral and social
values etc. consider of the fore going, this
paper therefore critically inquires into
ultimate essence of science and
technology, arguing that although science
and technology have their own limitations,
it is only rational for humans to encourage
that which is beneficial to him and
discourage those antisocial and moral of
these disciplines.

17. It is no longer an issue as to
whether science is of any advantage to
human society. And technology, no
doubt, have made and are still making
tremendous contribution to the
development and advancement .of the
society. Science has increased human
knowledge understanding of himself
and nature.

18. The application of scientific has
benefitted human society in many
unprecedented ways, in agriculture,
medicine, communication ,transportation ,
economy, etc. Not with standing these
numerous advantages of science and
technology, there are increasing actual
and potential dangers they pose to
mankind and his environment.

19. In conclusion, the paper avers that
humanity must always strive to
manipulate science and technology to
their advantage, that is, in the most
proper manner as a means in order to
ensure that they do not slip from human
control. Keywords: Science, Technology,
Humans, Development, Society.

20. The Human
Person
Flourishing
in Terms of
Science and
Technology

21. • Technology has always been defined as a
means to an end and being a human
activity.
• It has long filled the are marked with
technological advances that reflect what
a society is good or known for. Technology
has well advanced since the middle of the
20th century.

22. • Century especially after the end of world
war II. It is not unexpected for technology
to involve question
of knowledge which lead to its formation as
one of the branches of philosophy. This also
led to the
furtherance of technology based on how it
is viewed and understood But there is more
to that.

23. •Aristotle, was born 304 B.C. an ancient
Greek philosophy scientist and one of the
most significant thinkers and who
contributed so much to science,
technology, political theory, and
aesthetics world; Followed that knowledge
of the world begins by looking and
examining that which exists.
To understand the human person flourishing
in terms of science and technology, it is good to
first examine technology in its essence.

24. SELECTED VIEWS ON
TECHNOLOGY
•It has been said they there are
many views or ways as to how
technology is understood.
These philosophies contributed
on how technology is understood
and utilized by the society.

25. RISTOTELI NISM
•This views technology as basically a means to
an end.
To Aristotle, technology is the organizing of
techniques in order to meet the demand that is
being posed by humans.
technology is primarily concerned with the
product. Technology will be judged as either good
or bad based on the value
given to the product based on its use
and effect to the society.

26. THE
GOOD
LIFE

27. Aristotle was a greek philosopher who
lived from 384 to 322 B.C. he is widely
considered one of the most influential
thinkers in western
history and is often called the “father of
logic’’ and the “ father of science ” as
well.
“Happiness is the meaning and the
purpose of life, the whole aim and end of
human existence,” he said.

28. According to Nicomacheans
Ethics , Aristotle addresses
fundamental questions about
living a good life .Aristotle
thought eudaimonia
( often translated as
“happiness” or “well being”)
is the goal of human existence.

29. Aristotle

30. The theory of the good life
Aristotle’s theory of the good life is centered
around the idea that human Beings are naturall
inclined toward flourishing in both mind and body.
For a person to flourished, they must be free to do
what they find most enjoyable, Live in a way that i
congruent with their values.,and have access to
the thing They need to survive, such as food
shelter, and medicalcare. He believed that while
people can thrive materially by engage in
meaningful
Activities.

31. While food and shelter are essential for any
individual’s well-being, many Other things such as love,
friendship, adventure , knowledge and beauty
Contribute to a person’s overall sense of fulfilment
Aristotle believed that a people should strive to live well
physically , mentally,
And spiritually.
his theory of the good life is based on four key
principles: Virtue ,excellence,fulfilment, and happiness.
Aristotle believed that a person’s character was the most
critical aspect of
Their life.

32. This means that it is a life
where we act in accordance with
our core Values and moral
beliefs – our basic principles and
ideals.It is a life in which we do
what we believe to be right and
what is good for us.

33. We live the good life when we act
according to our core values-who was
aspire to become and what’s important and
meaningful to us.
But Aristotle believes that if you live a
virtuous life, you will be happier overall
because you will enjoy being more fulfilled
as a person.
Aristotle believed these principles were
interconnected, and each had to be
considered to build a good life.

34. CONCERN THAT MAKE UP
THE GOOD LIFE
To answer the question’’ are we living the
good life?” necessary reflection
be made on two things: first what standard
could be used to define’ the
good life?’
Second, how can the standard serve as a
guide toward living the Good life in the
midst of scientific progress and
technological advancement

35. They should enjoy good health
and reasonably long life. Prosperity:
They should be comfortably off (for
Aristotle this meant affluent enough
so that they don't need to work for a
living doing something that they
would not freely choose to do.)
Friendship: They must have good
friends

36. WHEN TECHNOLOGY
AND
HUMANITY
CROSS

37. • The ever-growing society has made people see
technology as some form of necessity.
• Technology-comes from the Greek word
technique and logos which mean art and word.
• Technology means a discourse on arts.
• It first appeared in the 17th century where the
concept was only used to talk about the arts,
specifically applied arts.
• Concepts like machine and tools were also
attached to the word “technology”
which is the more popular sense of the concept
nowadays

38. MOBILE PHONES
• Mobile phones have a very interesting
background story
• On April 3, 1973 Martin Cooper, a
senior engineer at Motorola, made the
world’s
first mobile phone call.
• The mobile phone used by Cooper
weighed 1.1 kilograms and measured
228.6 x
127 x 44.4 mm

39. • This kind of device was capable of a 30 minute
talk time.
• However, it took 10 hours to charge.
• In 1983, Motorola made their first commercial
mobile phone available to the public.
• It was known as the Motorola DynaTAC8000X
(Goodwin, 2016)

40. COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS
• It was Charles Babbage, a 19th century
English Mathematics professor, who
designed the Analytical Engine which was
used as the basic framework of the
computers even until the present time.
• In general, computers can be classified in
three generations.
• Each generation of the computer was used
for a certain period of time and each gave
people a new and improved version of the
previous one (Steitz, n.d.)
• The first true portable computer was
released in April 1980
• It was called the Osborne 1 (Orfano, 2011)

41. COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS

42. • A robot is an actuated mechanism
programmable in two or more axes
with a degree of autonomy, moving
within its environment, to perform
intended tasks.
• A service robot is a robot that
performs useful tasks for humans or
equipment excluding industrial
automation application.

43. • A personal service robot or a
service robot for personal use is a
robot used for a noncommercial
task, usually by laypersons. Ex.
Domestic servant robot,
automated wheelchair, personal
mobility assist robot, and pet
exercising robot.

44. • A professional service robot or a service
robot for professional use is a robot used
for a commercial task, usually operated
by a properly trained operator.
Ex. Cleaning robot for public places,
delivery robot in offices or hospitals, fire
fighting
robot, rehabilitation robot, and surgery
robot in hospitals.
• Germany was one of the first countries
to develop service robots

45. Robotics and Humanity
• Another great product of the innovative
minds of the people is the robot.
• Robots are now widely used. Ex. There
are so called service robots. These
particular robots do specific tasks but
focus mainly in assisting their masters in
their everyday tasks.

46. • The International Federation of
Robotics (IFR) and United Nations
Economic
Commission for Europe (UNECE)
made it their task to formulate a
working
definition for service robots.
A preliminary extract of the relevant
definition is (IFR, 2012):

47. ETHICAL DILEMMA
OF
ROBOTICS

48. A robot may not
injure a human
being or, through
inaction, allow a
human being to
come to harm.

49. A robot must obey
the orders given by
human beings except
where such orders
would conflict with
the First Law.

50. A robot must protect
its existence as long
as such protection
does not conflict with
the First or Second
Law.

51. THE FUTURE THAT DOES
NEED US

52. The underlying
message in his article
was clear: the rate
and direction of
technological
innovation over time
will lead to a world
where humans.

53. are unnecessary and machines will be able
to do without us. Instead of interacting with
them in the way we historically have
programming them to execute the tasks we
instruct them to perform—we will cross
threshold where we unwittingly relinquish
the responsibility of making important
decisions that we as a society need to make
They will do our thinking for us.

54. PERSON IN THE FACE OF
NEW TECHNOLGY

55. Much as Greek technology is a
revealing cycle, modern
technology also is an occasion of
concealment. Regular items in
the revealing system of modern
technology make themselves
open to the light of the age's
method of Being.”.

56. Waterways, mountains, plains,
plants, and creatures are totally
carried forward into the middle
stage in order to be found in the
new light of modern machination.
Dissimilar to previously, nature is
currently considered an "asset we
can promptly control." It is not any
longer an object of marvel but
rather an object of human victory.

57. As Francis Bacon said, our
insight into nature is likewise our
control over it. This is how things
uncover themselves in modern
technology. They are presently
"things prepared for any human
biding.

59. CONTEMPORARY HUMAN
EXPERIENCE

60. Our modern world is fast-paced and
relentlessly technological. Driven by
curiosity, inspiration and wonder,
UVIC researchers and artists explore how
we interact with devices,
manage information and data, and relate to
other humans.
Our work explores the ways people
understand science and the nature of the
universe.

61. Advanced materials
The Centre for Advanced
Materials and Related
Technology (CAMTEC) conducts
interdisciplinary work on
advanced materials and
technology..

63. The applications of their
work span from health to
renewable energy.
CAMTEC members work
closely with scientists
and engineers from the
private and public
sectors.
