This review of the discussions of a workshop analyses indigenous technical knowledge (ITK), examines its potential for rural development, and outlines implications and issues. ITK is compared with institutionally organised science and technology. It can be seen in terms of stock and process: a rich but underutilised stock of knowledge; and the potential of processes through which knowledge can be generated, assimilated, and transmitted. Implications include the use of new methods for eliciting ITK, changes in the values and reward systems of professionals and officials concerned with rural development, and the need for further research and analysis. RESUME Connaissances techniques indigènes et développement rural: analyse, implications et matières à discussion Ce compte‐rendu des débats d'un atelier analyse les connaissances techniques indigènes, examine leur potentiel pour le développement rural et met en évidence les implications et matières à discussion. On peut les envisager en termes de stock et de processus: un stock de connaissances riche mais sous‐utilisé; et le potentiel des processus permettant d'engendrer, d'assimiler et de transmettre les connaissances. Parmi les implications, citons l'utilisation de nouvelles méthodes pour découvrir des connaissances techniques indigènes, la modification des systèmes de valeur et de rémunération des experts et des responsables travaillant au développement rural, et la nécessité d'études et d'analyses plus poussées. RESUMEN El conocimiento técnico indígena: análisis, consecuencias y conclusiones En esta reseña de las deliberaciones de un grupo de trabajo se analiza el conocimiento técnico indígena, se examinan sus posibilidades para el desarrollo rural, y se esbozan las consecuencias y las conclusiones. El conocimiento técnico indígena se compara con la ciencia y la tecnología organizada de una manera institucional. Se puede confirmar esto en relación con las reservas y procedimientos: unas reservas abundantes pero escasamente utilizadas de conocimientos, y las posibilidades de procedimientos a través de los cuales se pueden producir, asimilar y transmitir conocimientos. Las consecuencias incluyen la utilización de nuevos métodos para descubrir el conocimiento técnico indígena, los cambios en los valores y los sistemas de recompensa de los profesionales y los funcionarios que se ocupan del desarrollo rural y la necesidad de proseguir la investigación y el análisis.
