    CLASSIFICATION

    AND
    PARTITION
    Classification is a technique of sorting items into related groups
    whose partition is the division of a unit into its components. If the genus
    in the class and the species is the subdivision, we can say that
    carbohydrates is the genus; then grains, fruits, vegetables, shellfish,
    diary products are the species; if grains is the genus, the rice bread,
    doughnut, and others are the species.

    Classification is the grouping together of objects/items according to a


    specified basis. When classifying, you choose to consider a thing that has
    some similarities. According to mills and walter(1980), Classifications is
    almost any act of noting relationships. Technically, it is the act of locating
    a specimen of all the different kinds of objects which possess a given
    characteristic.
    The following are the general principles in giving analysis through classification
    according to Laster, Ann A. and Neli Ann Picket.

    1. Classification is a basic approach in analysis. It places related items into


    categories or groups.
    2. Only a plural subject or a subject whose meaning in plural can be
    classified. If a subject is singular, it can be partitioned but not
    classified.
    3. The categories in the classification must be coordinate, or parallel. All
    categories on the same level must be of the same rank in grammatical
    form and in content.
    4. The categories must be mutually exclusive. Each category should be
    composed of clearly defined group that would still exist without the
    other categories on the same level.
    5. The categories must not overlap. An item can have a place in only one
    category.
    Partition is an analysis that divides a singular item into parts, steps or
    aspects. Its purpose is to separate a particular thing into parts, pieces,
    sections, or categories. These do not necessarily have anything in
    common beyond the fact that they belong to the same unit.
    The following are the general principles in giving an analysis through
    partition according to laster, Ann A. and Neli Ann Picket.
    1. Partition is a basic approach in analysis. It divides the subject into parts
    so that an individual consideration of these, a better understanding of
    the whole, can be achieved.
    2. Only a singular subject can be partitioned. If the subject is plural, it can
    be classified but not partitioned.
    3. The division in partition should be coordinate, parallel, and mutually
    exclusive.
    4. The division must be complete but it must not overlap.
    5. The data in partition analysis may be presented in outlines, in verbal
    explanations, and in visuals.
    6. The basis on which partition is made should be clear, useful, and
    purposeful.
    7. The order of presentation of division depends on their purpose. Among
    the possible orders are time, familiarity, importance, complexity, space,
    alphabetical and random listings.
