    Quarter & Week: Quarter 4 week 2 Topic: Technical and Operational Definition

    What’s New?

    Technical definition mostly refers to the aspect of explaining or describing any technical


    terms or terminology. Technical definitions could be used in expanding the vocabulary since
    most of these terms are explained in the exact manner. Examples include the terms and
    definitions of the words found in dictionary.  Technical writing often contains words that are
    used in specific ways in different disciplines. The word tongue is another example. It is
    probably a word that the reader immediately understands, but understands incorrectly
    depending on context. A tongue can be a structure in a mouth, a strip of land, part of a shoe,
    a language, part of a belt buckle, part of a bell, or anything that is shaped like a tongue. This
    is an example of a commonly used word that is used in uncommon ways. It is an example of
    a problem that may be avoided if the technical writer defines terms that are likely to be
    misunderstood or not understood. In order to perform this function, the technical writer must
    watch for words of this type when doing research, and must seek to understand the
    operational definitions of these words. An operational definition is the specific meaning of a
    word or phrase given to it by the group of people who use the word in their specific context.

    Operational definition, on the other hand, is more on the application of the word. For
    example, these may include the various attempts to define or explain a certain process and
    its properties including but not limited to the charactertics of the event itself.  

    For example, the technical definition of a computer is a device or machine used in


    performing, assessing, evaluation and following commands set by the users. The operational
    definition of a computer is something used in doing homeworks or browsing the internet.
