Which of the following best represents a technical definition?

• The term 'photosynthesis' refers to the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water, involving the green pigment chlorophyll.
• Photosynthesis is how plants make their food.
• A process by which plants turn sunlight into food.
• Green plants make food using sunlight and water.

What is the main difference between a technical definition and an operational definition?

• A technical definition clarifies the meaning of a term within a specific field, while an operational definition explains how a concept or variable is measured or used in a particular study.
• There is no significant difference; both types of definitions serve the same purpose.
• An operational definition is used only in scientific research, while a technical definition is used in everyday language.
• A technical definition is less precise than an operational definition.

Which option best demonstrates an operational definition in research?

• In a study on student motivation, 'highly motivated' students are those who attend more than 90% of classes, participate in class discussions at least twice a week, and turn in all assignments on time.
• Highly motivated students are eager to learn and achieve their academic goals.
• 'Motivation' refers to the desire or willingness of someone to do something.
• Motivation is what drives students to succeed in their academic endeavors.

In a science experiment, what is the purpose of utilizing an operational definition for 'plant growth'?

• To specify how 'plant growth' will be measured, such as in centimeters of stem elongation over a set period of time.
• To name the parts of the plant that are involved in growth.
• To list all the factors that can influence plant growth.
• To provide a general understanding of how plants grow.

Why is it important to include both technical and operational definitions in a research study?

• To ensure clarity among experts by using specialized language and to precisely explain how variables are measured within the study
• To comply with legal requirements for scientific research
• To make the study easier to understand for a general audience
• To increase the length of the research paper

Which statement most accurately explains the role of an operational definition in experimental research?

• It provides a specific way to measure or identify the variables being studied, ensuring that the research can be accurately replicated.
• It offers a broad definition that makes the research accessible to people outside the specific field of study.
• It exclusively defines terms related to the operational aspects of conducting the experiment, such as equipment used.
• It gives a detailed historical background of the concepts being studied to contextualize the research.

What distinguishes an operational definition from a technical definition in the context of a research paper?

• An operational definition describes how research variables are measured or identified, while a technical definition explains specialized terms used within the study.
• A technical definition is used to describe the practical steps of the experiment, while an operational definition gives the theoretical background.
• A technical definition specifies the equipment used in the study, while an operational definition outlines the statistical methods applied.
• An operational definition is only used in the conclusion to describe the outcomes, while a technical definition is used throughout the research paper.
