Discipline and Ideas in Social Science
Week 1 (August 5-9)
MET: 1
Lesson: Nature and Functions of Social Science Disciplines with the Natural Sciences

INTRODUCTION:

TIME FRAME: 150 MINS


OBJECTIVES:
1. Discuss the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural sciences;
2. Identify carefully the importance of nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the natural
sciences in our real-life situations; and
3. Cite practical real-life situations that can distinguish social sciences to natural sciences

OVERVIEW
Society is the place where social interactions and the human relationship with his/her environment happens.
On the other hand, humans are the prime movers of interactions, and they cause changes that occur in our
society. Because of human eagerness to explain what is happening in the world, it resulted in the birth of the
three major divisions of sciences: the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities. These sciences are
interrelated with the common primary goal to explain how man is influenced by society and how society is
shaped by man.

STUDENT’S EXPERIENTRIAL LEARNING


How do you define Society?
Society is the place where social interactions and the human relationship with his/her environment happens.
General Concepts and Historical Background
Social Science is an academic discipline and a branch of science that deals with the institutions and functioning
of human society and with the interpersonal relationships of individuals as members of society (Merriam-
Webster).
Social science tells us how society works.
It provides a deeper understanding about the world beyond our immediate experience.
It tells us that everything is interconnected, that the labor of yesterday can be the fruits of today and that the
actions of today will have an impact in the future of humanity.
