Another example:
A thesis statement is a sentence
that introduces the main topic and
argument of a paper or essay
(Ellis, 2023).
2. Etymology A. Statistics is derived from the
Italian word Statista which means

Another example:
Biology comes from the words
bios and logos which mean life
and study, respectively (What Is
Biology? - NTNU, n.d.).
3. Negation D. Peace is not something you

Something you do, Something

Another example:
English is not just a language; It’s
an art that changes over time, an
art that’s derived from science.
4. Historical C. Rizal always considered
Reference education as a medicine or
something that could cure the
problems of Colonial Philippines.
He believed in education that is
free from political and religious
control (Perdon, 2016).

Another example:
Martin Luther King defined the
American dream as an equality
among the people. In his
historical inaugural speech “I
Have a Dream”, he dreamed for
 the opportunity and freedom of
every man and woman,
regardless of race, color, or
creed, to be able to achieve what
they are able to do (Westwood,
2016).

These definitions may have been used in technical definitions and

may also be used in writing operational definitions in research.
What are technical and operational definitions?

1. Technical Definition - refers to the definition of a word as

used in a particular field like Science, Law, or Engineering.
e.g. Computer is an electronic device for storing and
processing data, typically in binary form, according to
instructions given to it in a variable program (Oxford
Dictionaries, n.d.).

2. Operational Definition- is the application of the

word/term. These may include the various attempts to
define or explain a certain process and its properties
including but not limited to the characterization of the event
itself.
e.g. Computer is a device that helps learners connect with
their teachers in the learning management system (LMS).

Learners should keep in mind that technical definition comes from

dictionaries and that they are the main formal definition of the
terms in their respective fields. However, operational definition
may give a whole new meaning to the terms as to how they are
used in the study.

In Chapter I, the terms should be defined both technically and

operationally. Technical definitions may also be called conceptual
definitions.

Individual Activity: I am Technical!

F. ELABORATE 1. The learners read the statements that have operational

Evaluate learning Qualitative Exploration of Pathways to Emotional
outcomes. Attachment” (Nguyen and Doug, 2009)
2. The teacher allows them to select the words that they will
define operationally.

Group Activity: Writing an Extended Operational Definition

Directions: On ¼ sheet of paper, select words from the research title,

“Falling in Love with Brands: an Inductive Qualitative Exploration of
Pathways to Emotional Attachment” then give their extended
operational definitions.

Criteria:
 Operational context of definition = 10 points
 Application of discussed extended definitions = 10 points
 Relevance of terms defined = 5 points
 Grammar and mechanics = 5 points

 knowledge through
other means such as
accomplishing
assignments, projects,

tasks.
I. REMARKS The following objectives were achieved in activities, to wit:

Identify the types of expanded/extended definitions.
