    Indigenous communities in the Philippines have developed extensive scientific and technological knowledge through long interaction with the local environment, including herbal medicine, weather prediction, food preservation, and irrigation. This indigenous knowledge is characterized as adaptive, cumulative, dynamic, humble, holistic, intergenerational, invaluable, responsible, spiritual, unique, and valid. Indigenous science incorporates traditional knowledge, scientific process skills, and cultural values to guide areas like agriculture, health, and the environment.

    Lesson 4: Indigenous Science and

    Technology in the Philippines


    Indigenous Knowledge

    Local and indigenous knowledge


    refers to the understandings, skills
    and philosophies developed by
    societies with long histories of
    interaction with their natural
    surroundings. For rural and indigenous
    peoples, local knowledge informs
    decision-making about fundamental
    aspects of day-to-day life
    Indigenous Knowledge is characterized as:

    Adaptive
    Cumulative
    Dynamic
    Humble
    Holistic
    Intergenerational
    Indigenous Knowledge is characterized as:

    Invaluable
    Responsible
    Spiritual
    Unique
    Valid
    Some examples of indigenous knowledge
    that are taught by Indigenous people are:
    • Using herbal medicine
    • Predicting weather conditions
    • Preserving foods
    • Building local irrigation system
    • Producing wines and juices from
    tropical fruits, etc.
    Indigenous Knowledge System

    Indigenous knowledge refers to the


    understandings, skills and philosophies
    developed by societies with long histories of
    interaction with their natural surroundings.
    For rural and indigenous peoples, local
    knowledge informs decision-making about
    fundamental aspects of day-to- day life.
    What are the characteristics of Indigenous
    Knowledge System?
    Indigenous Knowledge System is:
    • Local
    • Orally transmitted, or transmitted through
    imitation and demonstration
    • The consequence of practical engagement in
    everyday life, and is constantly reinforced by
    experience and trial and error.
    • Characteristically shared to a much greater
    degree than other forms of knowledge, including
    global science.
    • Focused on particular individuals and may
    achieve a degree of coherence in rituals and
    other symbolic constructs, its distribution is
    always fragmentary
    Indigenous Science
    Indigenous science is part of the indigenous knowledge system
    practiced by different groups of people and early civilizations
    (Gribbin, 2001; Mikapa, 2004; Sibisi, 2004). It includes complex arrays
    of knowledge, expertise, practices, and representations that guide
    human societies in their enumerable interactions with the natural
    milieu; agriculture, medicine, naming and explaining natural
    phenomena, and strategies for coping with changing environments
    (Pawilen, 2005). Ogawa (1995) claimed thatbi9t is collectively lived in
    and experienced by the people of a given culture.
    Pawilen (2006) developed a simple
    framework for understanding indigenous
    science. Accordingly, indigenous science
    is composed of traditional knowledge that
    uses science process skills and guided by
    community values and culture.
    Summary and Conclusion

    The communities in the Philippines have maintained vast


    amounts of indigenous knowledge, cultural practices, traditions
    and beliefs. These includes beliefs and practices ranging from
    different areas such as health, environment, peace and order,
    agriculture, food production, astronomy, music, and literature.
    The indigenous knowledge system of the people served as the
    foundation for the development of indigenous science
