Learning Outcomes:
 discuss the interactions between
science, t e c h n o l o g y, and society
throughout history;
 discuss how scientific and
technological developments affect society
and the environment; and
 explain how Philippine scientific and
technological inventions shaped and were
shaped by various social context.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

We would focus on are the historical antecedents,

which, according to Quinto, et al (2019), are “factors
that paved the way for the presence of advanced and
sophisticated scientific and ethnological innovations
today.”

 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

In the ancient times, people were concerned with

transportation and navigation, communication and
record keeping, mass production, power and energy,
security and protection, as well as health, observation,
and measurement, aesthetics, engineering, and
architecture.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The rise of ancient civilizations such as Sumerians,
Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Chinese
paved the way for advances in science and technology.
Their contributions not only allowed these ancient
civilizations to flourish, but also paved the way for the
developments of many other science and technology
innovations.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Some of the important historical antecedents of much
more modern science and technology innovations which
were discovered in the ancient times include the ancient
wheel, paper, shadoof, Antikythera mechanism, and
aeolipile.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Middle Ages- led to new technologies needed in the fields
of weaponry, transportation and navigation, mass food
and farm production, and health. This is also the period
of the emergence of scientific thinking and scientific
method. Because of this, many of our technologies can
actually be traced back in this time period.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Middle Ages- According to Quinto (2019), the heavy
plough, gunpowder, paper money, mechanical clock and
spinning wheel were the important technologies which
emerged in this time period.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Modern Ages- was marked with a steady increase in
population that emphasizes the “importance of
increasing the efficiency of transportation,
communication, and production”. During the Modern
ages, more complicated problems were created that
needed more solutions and greater risks for many
aspects of human life were needed to be addressed.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Modern Ages- to have a brief background on important
historical antecedents of science and technology that
started in the Modern Ages. These include, but are not
limited to, compound microscope, telescope, Jacquard
loom, engine-powered airplane, and television.
 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Filipino scientists and inventors have used the needs and

necessities of our nation in their innovations using
resources that are indigenous to the country. Areas
where Filipinos focus include adaptation to natural
disasters, navigation, textiles, food, and culture.

COPERNICAN REVOLUTION
The shift from geocentric to heliocentric slowly happened through the
contributions of the following intellectual persons.

 Tycho Brahe’s careful observation of the star, Cassiopeia. He developed a

compromise between the heliocentric and geocentric models of the
universe.
 Johannes Kepler’s said that all planets move in elliptical orbits and the
sun at the center
 Galileo Galilei's developed his own telescope and observed Venus
 Sir Isaac Newton’s law of gravitation

F re u d ’s P e r s o n a l i t y C o m p o n e n t s
Freud described the personality
structures as having three components:
 Id
 Ego
 Superego
 PROF.ED.102

F re u d ’s P e r s o n a l i t y C o m p o n e n t s
The Id
 source of our bodily
needs, wants, desires,
and impulses,
particularly our
sexual and
aggressive drives
 PROF.ED.102

F re u d ’s P e r s o n a l i t y C o m p o n e n t s
The Ego
 operates on the reality
principle, which strives
to satisfy the ID’s
desires in realistic,
logically and in socially
appropriate ways
 PROF.ED.102

F re u d ’s P e r s o n a l i t y C o m p o n e n t s
The Superego
 represents the norms
and qualities of the
individual, her/his
family and the society
and is an ethical
constraint on the
behavior.

Freud’s Metaphor
Conception of the
Human Psyche
According to Freud, a
well-adjusted person is
one who has strong EGO, Superego
who can help satisfy the
needs of the ID without *Ego
going against
SUPEREGO while Id
maintaining the person’s
sense of what is logical, *Ego is free floating in all
practical and real. tree levels
