OUTCOMES-BASED TEACHING-LEARNING PLAN

COURSE CODE:
COURSE TITLE: Science, Technology and Society

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
At the start of the semester, the teacher-in-charge will primarily set the instructional direction to deepen the (1) BEED and BSED students’ understanding with
interactions between science and technology and social, cultural, political, and economic contexts that shape and are shaped by them. (CMO No. 20, series of 2013).

This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought about by science and technology in society. Such realities pervade the personal, the
public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human development. Scientific knowledge and technological development happen in the context of
society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and philosophical underpinnings at play. This course seeks to instill reflective knowledge in the students that
they are able to live the good life and display ethical decision making in the face of scientific and technological advancement.

Towards the middle part of the semester, BEED/BSED students will be ushered into the structures of dyad or triad learning collaboration for them to gain specific and
deeper understanding of these five fundamental scientific knowledge and technological development happen in the context of society with all its socio-political,
cultural, economic, and philosophical underpinnings at play. To examine some of the notable developments of science and technology from the perspective of history
starting from the evidences of science and technology during pre-historic times, ancient times, the contribution of Greek, Persian Romans, Arabs Chinese and Hindu in
the development of Science and Technology. Followed by the discussions on Science and Technology Historical Timeline, The Birth of Technology, Inventions (19th-
18th Century), The First Industrial Revolution (1760-1840), The Second Industrial Revolution (19th Century-1945) and The Third Scientific- Technical Revolution. And
the last part topics is on the Social, Political, Cultural & Economic Development Vis-a Vis the development of Science & Technology, Science, Technology &
Modernization, Science, Technology & State-building, Science, Technology & Capitalism, Science, Technology & Globalization.

During the middle part of the semester, BEED/BSED students will be into group learning collaboration to examine some of the notable evidences of science and technology
during the 21st century. Specifically describe the development of GMO: Genetically Modified Organisms Science Technology and Biotechnology, Trends in DNA
Technology, and Gene Therapy.

During the last part of the semester, this course will include the current issues arising from the application of science and technology such as mandatory topic on
climate change and environmental awareness. And also some of the current issues arising from the application of science and technology such as the weapons of mass
destruction, nanotechnology and food insecurity.

Throughout the semester, students will be administered a repeated-series of tests (test-retest method) with an increasing criterion reference from 60 to 70 percent to
reveal the students’ final levels of learning achievements: either still a LEARNING DEPENDENCE or already a LEARNING INDEPENDENCE. This course will culminate
into the writing of a research article about the current issues arising from the application of science and technology specifically spotlighting their realizations derived
from their hindsight, insight and foresight that will make them understand that this course from the perspective of history and the global aspects of our living and are
integral to human development following the instructional protocols of SHADOW EDUCATION.
