INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM

Indigenous knowledge is embedded in the daily life experience


of young children as they grow up. They live and grow in the
society where the members of the community prominently
practice indigenous knowledge. Their parent and other older folkes
served as their first teachers and methods of teaching are very
effective in transmitting cultural knowledge in their mind. The
lesson they learned are intimately interwoven with their culture and
the environment. These lesson comprised of good values and life
stories of people on their daily life struggles. Their views about
nature and their reflections on their experiences in daily life are
evident in their stories, poems, and songs.
Some examples of Indigenous knowledge that are taught and practiced by the
Indigenous people;

• Predicting weather conditions and seasons using knowledge in observing animals


behaviour and celestial body;
• Using herbal medicine
• Preserving foods
• Classifying plants and animals into families and groups based on cultural and
properties
• Preserving and selecting goods seeds for planting
• Using indigenous technology in daily lives
• Building local irrigation system
• Classifying different types of soil for planting based on cultural properties
• Producing wines and juices from tropical fruits and;
• Keeping the customs of growing plants and vegetables in the yard
INDIGENOUS SCIENCE in his book refers to the
Science knowledge of all peoples who, as participants in
culture, are affected by the worldview and interests of their
home communities and homelands.

INDIGEOUS is something or someone who is
native to an area or who naturally belongs there.

SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY studies, or science


technology and society studies is the study of how
society, politics, and culture affect scientific research and
technological innovation, and how this, in turn, affect
society, politics and culture
According to Cajete (2004),
Indigenous science includes
everything, from metaphysics to
philosophy and various practical
technologies practiced by the
indigenous peoples both past and
present.

Dr. Gregory Cajete


Laccarino (2003) elaborated this idea by explaining that science is part of the culture,
and how science is done largely depends on the cultural practices of the people
Indigenous beliefs also develop desirable values that are relevant or consistent to
scientific attitudes identify jonhston (2000) namely

1. Motivating attitudes
2. Cooperating attitudes
3. Practical attitudes and;
4. Reflective attitudes
These cultural beliefs therefore can be good foundation for developing positive
values toward learning and doing science and in bringing science in a personal level

Pawilen (2005) explained that indigenous science knowledge has developed


diverse structures and contents through the interplay between the society and the
environment.
Sibisi (2004) also pointed out that indigenous science provides the basics of
astromony, pharmacology, food technology, or metallurgy, which were derived from
traditional knowledge and practices.
According to Khun (1962),
developmental stages of most
science are characterized by
continual competition between a
number of distinct views of
nature, each partially derived
from, and all roughly compatible
with the dectates of scientific
observation and method.
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.

INDIGENOUS SCIENCE

SCIENCE COMMUNITY CULTURE TRADITIONAL


PROCESS SKILLS AND VALUES KNOWLEDGE
1. Indigenous science uses science process skills such as observing, comparing,
classifying, measuring, problem solving, inferring, communicating, and predicting.
2. Indigenous science is guided by culture and community values such as the
following:

• The land is a source of life. It is the precious gift from the creator.
• The earth is revered as “Mother Earth” It is the origin of their identity as people.
• All living and non living things are interconnected and interdependent with each
other.
• Human beings are stewards or trustee of the land and other natural resources.
They have a responsibility to preserve it.
• Nature is a friend to human beings it needs respect and proper care.

3. Indigenous science is composed of traditional knowledge practiced and valued by


people and communities such as ethno-biology, ethno-medicine, indigenous farming
methods, and folk astromony.
• Indigenous science is part of the indigenous knowledge system practiced by
different groups of people and early civilizations(Gribbin,2001;Mkapa,
2004;Sibisi,2004) . It includes complex arrays of knowledge, it expertices,
and presentations 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 trhat it is collectively lived in and
experienced by the people of a given culture.
• Indigenous science are important in the development of science and
technology in the Philippines. Like the ancient civilizations, indigenous
science gave birth to the development of science and technology as a field
and as a discipline. Indigenous science helped the people in understanding
the natural environment and in coping with everyday life. UNESCO’s
declaration on science and the use of scientific knowledge (1999) recognized
indigenous science and historical and valuable contribution to science and
technology.
