Definition of Terms is an
alphabetical list of important
terms, acronyms or jargons
used in the research study.
Jargons are terminologies
only understood by certain

 Okay, before
we proceed to
defining words,
it is best we
learn the
difference
between
technical and
operational
definitions.
b
TECHNICAL c
a Definitions
also known as: conceptual or theoretical definitions

-Universal meaning of the term

-Definition that comes from different reference
materials such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books,
journals, and even websites
 OPERATIONAL
Definition
-how the term is applied or used in research
-refers to a specific definition of a concept in a
research study
- the researcher is the one who formulates the
meaning of the term which is anchored on the
technical definition
-commonly uses the phrase” As used in this study”
3. Define the terms
technically, operationally, or
both.
Guidelines in defining terms:
1. Only terms, words, or phrases that
have special or unique meanings in
the study are defined.
2. What to define?
-Important words in the title (such as
the variables)
-Technical terms used in the
research paper
-Words for treatments and
measurement (data analysis terms,
etc)
4. If the terms are from
dictionaries, books,
encyclopedias, or even
websites, make sure you
acknowledge the source.
5. If there are uncommon
acronyms, include them and
spell them out. Give them
meaning.
6. Definitions should be
short, clear and
unambiguous.

 Carbohydrates are a food group including
sugars, starches, and cellulose.
Carbohydrates can also be defined chemically as
neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
The body breaks down most sugars and starches into
glucose, a simple sugar that the body can use to feed
its cells. Dietary intake of complex carbohydrates can
lower blood cholesterol when they are substituted for
saturated fat.
 Carbohydrates are classified into mono,
di, tri, poly and heterosaccharides. The smallest
carbohydrates are monosaccharides such as
glucose whereas polysaccharides such as starch,
cellulose and glycogen can be large and even
indeterminate in length.
