LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND SELF-ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

COPERNICAN REVOLUTION

• Many Greek Philosophers and intellectuals wrote about planets in an attempt to


explain the movements of heavenly bodies and their effects on the world as they knew
it. Many of these philosophers agreed that planets moved around in circular motion,
and that these movements created days and nights among others.
• Claudius Ptolemy – famous philosopher and astronomer stated that planets as well
as the sun and moon moved in circular motion around the earth.
• Geocentrism- earth was at the center
• Heliocentrism – the center of the solar system was not the earth but the sun

DARWINIAN REVOLUTION

• Considered to be one of the most controversial intellectual revolutions of its time


• Charles Darwin – English naturalist, biologist, and geologist published the book “the
theory of evolution” which posited that populations pass through a process of natural
selection in which only the fittest would survive.
• Darwin stated that organisms have the ability to adapt to their environment and
would gradually change into something that would be more competitive to survive, a
process known as evolution.

FREUDIAN REVOLUTION

• Psychology was considered more than an art rather than a science


• Psychoanalysis – a study that explains human behavior. In his theory, Freud
explained that there are many conscious and unconscious factors that can influence
behavior and emotions.
• Despite criticisms, Freud still continued to work on refining his theory and in fact
tried to explain how psychoanalysis can be a clinical method in treating some
mental disorders.

SUMMARY

➢ These three revolutionizing theories are just some of the many scientific ideas that
transformed and molded societies and beliefs. The changes they brought to the
perspectives and perceptions of the scientific community and the public are
evidence of science and technology’s link to humanity. Through scientific research
and experimentations, people will continue to deepen their understanding of the
world and universe.
