Document Summary

School, family, things you come into contact with. Science and indigenous knowledge reflects 2 different views of the world. Indigenous knowledge is about the whole or holistic (second tier of science and it is considered to be below as it is untested and invalidated) Diabetes example: reclamation of history and culture and methodologies (peace, power and riotousness and cultural appropriate research process) Pedagogy, teacher instruction and curriculum all dictated indigenous knowledge but it is being challenged. Western epistemology: that which is verifiable is true. Science has control over nature if we unlock it. Scientific method: observation, predication, testing, hypothesis, empirical data (start of scientific theory or truth about the world) 2 assumptions: (cid:374)atu(cid:396)e is o(cid:396)de(cid:396)l(cid:455, if the(cid:396)e is (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge, it is patte(cid:396)(cid:374)ed a(cid:374)d (cid:272)a(cid:374) (cid:271)e the(cid:396)efo(cid:396)e u(cid:374)derstood (humans outside space of unknown thus can work objectively) Subservience of nature- sensory data to analyze nature (linear time) Science depersonalizes nature, people and events and quantifies them by an outsiders.
