7. PRACTICAL RESEARCH II

8. Definition of Terms
Defining terms is necessary to establish
boundaries on how certain terms will be
used in the study.
It explains the variables (terminologies)
used in the study operationally or
conceptually.
Guide Card:

9. Definition of Terms
Definition of terms is essential to ensure a
common understanding of key concepts and
terminology used in the study between the
researcher and its reader.
It helps both the researcher and its reader to
have clear understanding of the key terms in the
study.
Guide Card:

10. Conceptual definition defines a concept in
terms of specific ideas, principles, or theories
associated with terms. These are the
theoretical or abstract meaning of a concept.
1
Operational definitions define the terms on
how it is measured in the present study. These
refer to how a variable was used or measured
in the study.

Types of Definition
Guide Card:

11. Performance – the execution of an action; a public
presentation of exhibition.
C

grades earned in Technology and Livelihood Education
subject in the school year 2014-2015.

12. Profit is the difference between the amount
earned and the amount spent in buying,
operating, or producing something.
C
Profit refers to the amount earned in
selling garments for the month of January.

Guide Card:

13. Points to Ponder
• Definition of terms must be listed
alphabetically.
• Define only terms or variables that have
unique use or meaning in the study being
conducted.
• Using of definitions from
dictionary, as much as possible,
is avoided. Define or explain
variables or terms on how it is
operationally used in the study.
• In defining a
term, use only
one paragraph.
uide Card:

14. 1. Write a brief introductory
statement. It shortly
describes the content of the
definition of terms.
3. The terms should
be arranged
alphabetically.
2. List/write the
words/terms (which are
technical) that would be
included.
4. Indention should be
applied to each term.
Guidelines in Writing the
Definition of Terms
Guide Card:

15. 5. The term should be
followed by a period.
7. It can be bold and
italic or not.
6. It can be
underlined or not.
8. It does not have to
be lengthy (direct to
the point).
Guidelines in Writing the
Definition of Terms
Guide Card:

16. 9. Acronyms should be
defined clearly.
11. Do not overflow with
technical terms(only
those relevant/significant
to the study).
10. Complete name should be
written first, followed by the
acronym/initials in open-close
parenthesis, then the
definition/meaning.
12. Keep the definition
brief and basic. You will
elaborate on it more in
the body of your paper.
