INTRODUCTION TO STS
SCIENCE
● Latin “scientia” = knowledge
● system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific
method
● process used to solve problems or develop an
understanding of nature that involves testing
possible answers
● an organizes, systematic, and methodical activity
of building and organizing knowledge about how
the universe behaves through observation,
experimentation or both
● discovery of regularity in nature, enough for
natural phenomena to be described by principles
and laws
● discovers facts and relationships and then tries to
create theories that makes your sense of these
facts and relationships
REGULARITY AND RELATIONSHIP
— Science has something to do with regularity/pattern.
FRACTALS
— Discovering patterns about life, behavior
— Albularyo
>>> Pulse Rate, Occiput, Laway2, Drink water with paper
>>> Allowed but no drinking medications
— Siquijor
>>> Famous in tuo2
— Palatay/Pikpik
— Religion that prays over someone and performs
miracle
— Can Jesus really heal the sick?

SCIENTIFIC METHOD
observation → problem/question → hypothesis →
experiment → analysis → conclusion
prototype of nursing process (ADPIE)
○ Assessment (Problem)
○ Diagnosis (Hypothesis)
○ Planning (Hypothesis)
○ Intervention (Experiment)
○ Evaluation (Conclusion)
If nursing is a science, then it should be governed by
principles and laws.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SCIENCE?
The world is too vast for us to interpret without science.
What’s true today might not be true tomorrow.
TECHNOLOGY
● refers to methods, systems, and devices which
are the result of scientific knowledge being used
for practical purposes
● the human attempt to change the world, by
creating products that make our life easier
● Greek word “techne” = “art/skill/cunning of hand”
+ “logia” = study
● application of scientific knowledge, laws, and
principles to produce services, materials, tools,
and machines aimed at solving real-world
problems
NURSING INFORMATICS
— Technology-driven subject that discusses how
technology is applied on nursing
TECHNO DRIVEN CARE
— Integrating technology into care
SOCIETY
● Latin word “societas” = “friendly association with
others”
● large group of people who live together in an
organized way, making decisions about how to do
things and sharing the work that needs to be done
Science - process of acquiring knowledge
Technology - application of scientific knowledge for
people
Society - group of people who uses technology & who are
studying science
HOW DOES SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND
SOCIETY INTERACT?
IS NURSING A SCIENCE OR AN ART?
WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF CARING?
— Science of Caring by Jean Watson
HOW TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE IN NURSING?
— experimentation on patients
“Life is not all about technology.”

SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
“Science is a developing science.”
— Science keeps on changing.
Science is an idea.
● Ideas keep changing so therefore science as well.
● Business - researches through feasibility study
Science as an intellectual activity.
● Observation will make someone discover
something. EUREKA MOMINTZZZZ
● Studying and researching will help in the evolution
of knowledge
○ e.g. nursing theories, theories
● form of social activity because it answers
questions about yourself
● caring is a social construct
Nursing is a borrowed science for its evolution.
16th Century - science evolved because education was
booming

the minerals and natural resources of the country
were also explored and exploited during the
American times
transportation and communications systems were
improved, though not accessible throughout the
country
○ due to difficult communication in
mountains
Religion like Protestant was also introduced by
Americans in different places in the country which
also brought hospitals and schools to remote
areas
○ Silliman University for the improvement of
the country
Focuses on minerals and transportation. Education
brought to PH has improved us greatly.

little by little, these efforts built a stronger
foundation for science and technology in the
country
○ American invested in education that is

DURING AND AFTER WWII
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
WWII has destabilized the development of the
country in many ways. institutions and publics
facilities were turned into ashes, houses were
burned and many lives were destroyed
the capacity of the country is to restore what
was destroyed was limited
the reparation funds focused on building
some institutions and public facilities like
schools, hospitals and transportation system
○ PH experienced difficulty because funds
were allocated for difference reasons
Since the establishment of the new republic, the
whole nation has been focusing on using its
limited resources in improving its science and
technological capabilities
It has explored the use of Overseas
Development Allocation- ODA, from different
countries to help the country improve its
scientific productivity and technological
capability.
Human resources development is at the heart of
these efforts focusing on producing more
engineers, scientists, technology experts,
doctors and other professionals in the country
Science and technology may have a significant
impact on the lives of the people and in the
development of Philippine society. However,
improving the quality of science education
still remains as a big challenge in the country
School science from basic education to graduate
education is improving slowly even if there are
only few students enrolling in science and
technology courses.
○ Most students go to medical courses

GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
●
●
●
The Philippine government introduced and
implemented several programs, projects,and
policies to boost the area of science and
technology
The goal is to prepare the whole country and
its people to meet the demands of a
technologically driven world and capacitate the
people to live in a world driven by science
In response to the ASEAN 2015 agenda, the
government particularly the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST) has sought the
expertise of the National Research Council of the
Philippines (NRCP) to consult various sectors in
the society to study how the PH can prepare
itself in meeting the asean 2015 goals. As a
result of the consultations, the NCRP is expected
to recommend policies and programs that will
improve the competitiveness of the PH in the
ASEAN region

STS AND THE HUMAN CONDITION
The Human Condition Before Common Era
● Homo erectus have been using fire to cook, all
the while without realizing the laws of friction and
heat
○ Invention of fire somehow improved
everything
● Tools from stone ad flints marked the era of the
Stone Age, during the advent of our very own
Homo Sapiens
● People discovered minerals and began forging
metalwork

Fur clothing and animal skin are primarily used for
comfort against hard winds. They begin to cover
themselves up out of necessity.
People of the time had also painstakingly wrought
and hewed said figures in honor of some deity;
initial roster of primitive gods includes objects
they encounter through their day-to-day lives
Nursing is the science of caring.
— AI and Robotic Nursing
The Human Condition Before Common Era
● driven by their primal need to survive, humans
were quick to find ways to drive off other
megafaunas threatening a prospective hunting
spot
● The ongoing extinction of several species - both
flora and fauna - due to human activity.
● They began to hunt, farm, and produce things
with prospect of profit
● When they could not sell products, they used their
skills and got compensated for it - bringing forth a
specialized group of artisans
● Physical strength was valued at most, although
there appeared to be as many intellectually gifted
figures just the same
With development, there is a sacrifice. For example,
development in infrastructure leads to flood and other
forms of destruction.
The Essence of Technology
● Modern humans are reliant on technology in their
search for a good life. Humans are reduced into
the amount of productivity they are able to render
during their lifetime
● By too much reliance on technology, humans lose
track of things that matter, reducing their
surroundings to their economic value
● Martin Heidegger argued that its essence, or
purpose, and being are different from each other
● Technology can either be perceived as first, a
means to achieve man’s end and second, that
which constitutes human activity
● The second perspective paints technology in such
a way that each period reveals a particular
character regarding man’s being
📝
Technology was made to make life comfortable and
improve the quality of life.
