Good job, class!

 3. EXPLORATION

Count the blanks to determine the numbers of letters that

compose the word. Consider the definitions flashed on the TV screen.
Then guess the letters that compose the word until such time you can
guess the right word.

1. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9-lettered word)
Clues:

 The definition of terms / words which are found in the

dictionary.

 The meaning of the word is associated with the field or area of

study.

 Mostly refers to the aspect of explaining or describing any Answer: TECHNICAL

terminology.

 The definition of a word as used in a particular field like

Science, Law or Engineering.

Count the blanks to determine the numbers of letters that compose the
word. Consider the definitions flashed on the TV screen. Then guess the
letters that compose the word until such time you can guess the right
word.

2. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (11 lettered word)

Clues:

 The definition of a word or term based on how it is used in a

sentence or using contextual clues.

 It is used to define in terms of process.

Answer: OPERATIONAL
 This may include the various attempts to define or explain a
process and its properties including but not limited to the
characterization of the event itself.

Excellent!

Our lesson for today is all about two skills for defining words
when you are writing a research paper. These words have the
same structure and spelling but have different meanings when
used in a sentence.
4. EXPLANATION

For you to be able to clearly understand our lesson, I Students will watch the video.
prepared a video for you. Listen and watch attentively and jot
down important details.

Based on the video that you have watched, what is definition Student: Definition of terms is an
of terms/words? alphabetical list of important terms,
 acronyms, or jargons used in the research
Very good! study.

Why is there a need to study the definitions of words/terms

especially when you are writing a research paper?
Student: We will need the skill of defining
words especially when you are writing a
Great job! research paper so that we can easily identify
the words used in your study.

Who else has an idea? yes?

Student II: Also, definition of terms is
included in the chapter one of a research
Excellent! paper that is why we have to study the
definitions of words because we will be
needing it on our research paper.

Now, what are the two types of definition? Student: The two types of definitions are the
technical and operational definition.
Very good!

What is technical definition? Student: The technical definition or

sometimes called as conceptual or
Great job! theoretical definition refers to the universal
meaning of the terms.
Who else has an idea?
Student II: Technical definition is the
Very good! definition that comes from different
reference materials such as dictionaries,
encyclopedias, books, journals and even
websites.
How about operational definition?
Student: Operational definition is how the
Good job! term is applied or used in the research. It
also refers to a specific definition of a
concept in a research study.
To further comprehend the lesson, here are some examples
of technical and operational definitions used in a sentence.

Can you please read the examples?

What can you notice on the emphasized words in the given example?
Student: Those words have the same
Very good! structure however they convey different
ideas.
To strengthen your knowledge about the topic, let’s have an activity.

PICTURE ME OUT!

Now, I have here some caricatures. Student will read the dialogue.

Direction: Analyze the caricatures and give the terms used in

the sentences that show technical and operational definition.
Distinguish the terms or words beside it. Define whether it is
TECHNICAL or OPERATIONAL.

Who would like to read the dialogue in the caricature?

1. Spoiled = Technical
Thank you!
 
Student will read the dialogue.

Now, what is the best word that shows technical and

operational definition. Is it Technical or Operational?

Can you read the dialogue in the caricature?

 Thank you!
2. Skewed = Operational

Student will read the dialogue.

Anyone who could give the best word in this caricature? And
tell whether it is Technical or Operational?

Who would like to read the dialogue in the caricature?

Thank you!

3. Surrender = Technical

Student will read the dialogue.

What is the best word that shows technical and operational

definition. Is it Technical or Operational?

Can you read the dialogue in the caricature?

4. In two places = Operational

Student will read the dialogue.

Now, what is the best word that shows technical and

operational definition. Is it Technical or Operational?

Who would like to read the dialogue in the caricature?

5. Aggressive = Operational
 Anyone who could give the best word in this caricature? And
tell whether it is Technical or Operational?
Great Job, Class!!!
5. ELABORATION
To better familiarize the differences of technical and
operational definition, thoughtfully watch the video that I have
prepared. You may jot down important notes while watching
the video.
Based on the video that I have shown. What are the
differences of technical and operational definition?
Perfect!
Now, let's go back to our activity earlier. Given words from
our motivational exercise will be designated to each group.
With the terms provided, create two sentences that convey
both their technical and operational definition. Select two
representatives from the group who would give a sentence for
both technical and operational definition. Write them on the
board. Determine which of the two sentences is technical or
operational.
Students will watch the video
Students: Technical definition is the general
meaning of the word or term. On the other
hand, operational definition is the contextual
meaning of the word, phrase, or term.
Student: Technical definition are from
general references like dictionary,
encyclopedia, books, and other sources.
While operational definitions are from the
researcher or writer.
Student: Technical definition is a definition in
the technical sense. In contrast, operational
definition includes information from the real
world.
Group I: Operation
Sentence 1: My cousin had an operation last
week. (Technical)
Sentence 2: My cousin joined the military
operation to hunt down anti-government.
(Operational)
Group II: Watch
Sentence 1: The kids often watch TV every
weekend. (technical)
Sentence 2: He has a very expensive watch
and he misses no opportunity to show it off.
(operational)

6. GENERALIZATION

Did you enjoy our class? Students: Yes, Ma’am!

I’m glad to know that. I actually enjoyed it too!

Let’s have a recap about our topic for today.

Who can give me the meaning of technical and operational Student: The technical definition or
definition? sometimes called as conceptual or
theoretical definition refers to the universal
Very good! meaning of the terms.

What else? Student: Technical definition is the definition

that comes from different reference
Excellent! materials such as dictionaries, encyclopedias,
books, journals and even websites.
Is there any more that you can add?
 Student: Operational definition is how the
term is applied or used in the research. It
also refers to a specific definition of a
concept in a research study.

Valuing:

Before we jump to our last exercise, may I ask class why do you think
there is a need for us to know the different definitions of terms and how
can we use these skills in our everyday life?
Very good!
Can you give me other opinion. Yes?
Alright! Perfect!
Student I: For most people, these can be a
reason for miscommunication or
misunderstanding. When people do not
share meaning, they may arrive at decisions
that are not well-informed.
Student II: when we need to explain how
something works, technical definition will
help because it offers us the details. When
we need just an idea, operational
definition is more helpful.

7. EVALUATION students will do the assessment
