Assignment

“Who among you can recall what we did last meeting?” “Last meeting, we talked about the technical
terms used in research.”

“You’re right! Since we had an asynchronous class for “In our English subject, we answered one
the last two days, what did you do during those days?” learning activity sheet regarding technical
terms used in research, and a module that
tackles the technical and operational
definition.”

“Very good! Who among you can differentiate the two?”
“Technical definitions refer to the definition of a
word as used in a particular field like Science,
Law, or Engineering. While, operational
definition is the process of defining a
word/term of how it is used in a sentence, or
using context clues.”

III. Activity
a. Motivation: Word Association Game
“I will flash a word on the screen. For five minutes, you
are going to write in your notebook the words that come The students will start doing the activity
to your mind when you hear or read the given word.
After five minutes, you are going to share the words
that you associate with the given word.”

The teacher will present the word LOVE

“What are the words that you associated with the given “The words that we associated with the word
word?” ‘love’ are”
● Happiness
● Commitment
● Comfort
● Growth
● Trust
● Intimacy”

IV. Analysis

“Do you all have the same perspective with the words “No, we don't all have the same perspective
you associated with the word ‘love’?” with the words we associate with the word
 'love.' Each person's associations with the
word 'love' are influenced by their unique
experiences, beliefs, and cultural
backgrounds. As a result, the words we
associate with 'love' may vary widely among
individuals.”

“Why did you choose the words that you associate with
the given word?”
​ ●
● “I chose 'happiness' because love has
always been a source of joy and
fulfillment in my life.”
“In my culture, love is often associated
with 'commitment' and 'loyalty,' so
those were the words that came to
mind.”
● “The word 'comfort' resonates with me
because love has always been a
source of solace and support during
difficult times.”
● “I associate 'growth' with love because
I believe that love encourages personal
development and self-improvement.”
● “I thought of 'trust' and 'intimacy'
because in my experience, love is built
on a foundation of mutual trust and
deep connection.”

“How are we going to conclude your answer?” “Our personal experiences or perspectives
influence our associations.”
V. Presentation of Objectives
At the end of the discussion, the learners will be able
to:
a.Define expanded definition;
b.Determine the various techniques of expanded
definition; and
c. Use the various techniques in expanding
definitions

VI. Abstraction

“Just as people have different word associations, words

themselves can have broader meanings or “Expanded definition is one or more

how can an expanded definition be defined?”

“This means that an expanded definition should have

both the technical and operational definition of a term. “It seems like it has a pattern. It has the term

love is a type of love that both partners recognize

Very good! When we talk about love, it is not always

about intimacy. It also has its types: true love, platonic “It is important to include the distinguishing

“Good job! Another way to define a term is this: a type “This time the class or the type was the first to

love. What do you notice?”

“Very good! Now, it’s your turn to give a full definition of
these terms using either the first or second pattern:
1. Algorithm
2. Computer memory
3. Reservoir rock
4. Influenza
You may use your dictionary.”
“Alright! Since you already know how to define a term in
its full definition, let us now proceed on how we are
going to expand its definition. Let us go back to the
example earlier: True love is a type of love that both
partners recognize and value each other's
individuality, opinions, and feelings. This example
can become an expanded definition. Let’s analyze this:
In true love, both partners recognize and value
each other’s individuality, opinions, and feelings.
● “An Algorithm is a finite description of a
finite number of steps required to
accomplish some well-defined task.”
● “Computer memory is one of three
basic components of a computer which
stores information for future use– both
the data that will be operated on as
well as the programs that direct the
operations to be performed.”
● “Reservoir rock is a type of rock that
has sufficient porosity and permeability
to allow gas and oil to accumulate and
be produced in commercial quantities.”
● “Influenza is an acute highly contagious
infection of the respiratory tract, which
occurs sporadically or in epidemics and
that lasts up to a month.”

True love fosters a connection that goes beyond “The first paragraph is the full definition and it

connection creates a sense of companionship,
where both partners feel they’re on the same team,
working towards common dreams.

What do you notice?”

“Very good! Those are just the ways on how to

compose an expanded definition of a certain
terminology. Now, we will shift on the detailed
discussion of the various techniques of giving
expanded definitions. In the following examples that I’ll
give you, the sentence in blue is the full definition, while
the sentence in black is its expanded definition.

What do you notice with this example?”
“Very good! The first technique is called ‘description’.
Next example:
“I notice that the millennials were described as
mostly watching television and exposed to
different social media applications.”

What do you notice?” “In this definition, it was explained on how

generation transition happened. As mentioned,
generation transition takes place after different
considerations and factors. First, after a big
movement in society such as the technological
explosion which paved the way for different
generations.”
“Okay! If it explains the process, the technique used is
process narration. Now, let us just continue the
previous example:
 “I noticed that the last sentence is just another
definition of generation transition.:

What do you notice?”

“Very good! If you are just going to add another

definition of a term, this technique is called ‘additional
definition. Another way of giving an expanded definition
is shown in this example:

“I noticed that it included the historical

background of Generation Y, the term that is
being defined.”

What do you notice?”

“Alright! That technique is called ‘historical background.’

The next technique is shown in this example: “It includes the cause of generation transition
to the millennials.”

What do you notice?”

“I noticed that it includes the effect of
“Alright! This technique is called ‘cause/causes.’ Now
generation transition to Generation Z.”
what do you notice with this example?”

“Very good! This expanded definition technique is “I noticed that there is a solution to the
called ‘effect, results, consequences.’ Now, what do problem that generation transition brought to
you notice about this example?” the environment.”
“Alright! It is a technique called ‘problem-solution.’ What “I noticed that there is numerical data involved
do you notice about this one? in expanding the definition.”

“Brilliant! Another technique is for you to put ‘statistics’ “I noticed that the expanded definition includes
or numerical data related to the term defined such as the uses or relevance of the terminology.”
percentage, amount, and others. Now, what do you
notice about this one?”

“Very good! If you think that it would also help to

discuss the ‘uses and applications’ related to the term,
you may do so. Next is this one:

“This example includes an analogy in

What do you notice?” expanding the definition of the terminology
‘iGeneration.’”

“Very good! That technique is called ‘similarities,

differences, analogies.’ If there’s a need to use this
technique, you may do so. Now, let us take a look at
this example:

What do you observe?” “I observe that this is similar to the very first
example you have given us. This example also
used class or types of generation transition.”

“Alright! That technique is called ‘classes, types, “I noticed that it included examples as its
categories.’ To continue, what do you notice about this technique of giving expanded definitions for
example?” the term Generation Z.”
“That’s right! How about this example?” “I observed that it was focused on the meaning
of the letter ‘i’ in the term ‘iGeneration.”

“Very good! The technique used here is called “This expanded definition shows that the three
‘etymology’ or the origin of the word. How about this different generations are not related to each
example?” other.”

“Okay! This technique is called ‘negatives.’ If you think

that explaining what the term is not or what it does not
could help to further clarify the term then use this
technique. This is somehow showing how the term
differs from others in the same class. Now, take a look
at this last example:

What do you observe?” “I observe that the example gives the

advantages and disadvantages of generation
transition.”
“Very good! This last technique is called ‘advantages,
disadvantages.”

VII. Application
On a whole sheet of paper, write the expanded
definition of the given words. You may use a dictionary
for their full definition.

Define the following words in your own words,

considering their expanded definitions:
a) Family
b) Success
c) Freedom

VIII. Generalization
“Expanded definition is one or more
“What is the expanded definition?” paragraphs that attempt to explain a complex
term.”
“Who can enumerate the fifteen techniques used in “The techniques used in giving expanded
giving expanded definitions?” definitions are: definition, process narration,
additional definition, historical background,
cause/causes, effects/results/consequences,
problem-solution, statistics, uses/applications,
similarities/differences/analogies,
classes/types/categories, examples,
etymology, negatives, and
advantages/disadvantages.”

“As a student-researcher, why is it important for you to “As a student-researcher, it is important to

learn about giving expanded definitions?”
learn about giving expanded definitions
because it enhances critical thinking skills and
encourages a deeper understanding of
concepts. Expanded definitions allow for more
nuanced interpretations of words, which is
essential for effective communication and
scholarly research. Additionally, understanding
expanded definitions enables students to
express ideas more precisely and engage in
meaningful discussions about complex topics.”
