Giving Technical and Operational Definitions

Cards (2)

  • Technical - 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.
  • Operational - 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 characteristics of the event itself.
