EXPANDED DEFINITION-is used to define technical

terms with a very detailed explanation, sometimes,


with the use of examples and visuals. Expanded
definitions are usually found in academic texts
(Gonzales, et al., 2017).

Here are ways on how to expand a definition into a


paragraph:
1. Expanding by Giving an Example
• Speed is a concept that marks our time. Everybody is in a hurry to go
somewhere. Industry is constantly demanding new inventions that will speed up
production so that the constant cry of the bosses to the workmen is speed it up!
The maker of automobiles boasts of the newest type of a car which is faster
than the old model. Shoppers push and shove each other all about the counters.
All are in a hurry to get something. People who are going to school, shop, or
office rush breathlessly to do important tasks, they gulp their food and swallow
it in haste. Restless “hunters of fun” crowd into places of entertainment. Most of
these people cannot sit still. At a movie, they tap their feet or finger in
impatience. Yes, speed is the word of the day (Gorgon, et al., 2010).
• By studying the paragraph above, can you identify the word being defined? Can
you also give examples that were stated to expand the definition of speed being
“a concept the marks our time”?
2. Expanding by Comparing and Contrasting
• Speed is a concept that marks our day. Sluggishness is out. Speed is
demanded by industry which is constantly on look-out for new inventions.
Sluggishness is penalized, especially in industries where compensation
depends upon output. Speed is the attractive come-on for short-term courses
in cooking, computerizing, sewing, diving, learning a new language, and
others. The slower long-term courses are not so appealing. Instant coffee is
usually preferred to coffee that needs to be boiled. Yes, speed is the word of
the day (Gorgon, et al., 2010).
• Looking at the given example, identify which is speed compared to in the
given definition. How is speed different from sluggishness?
• 3. Expanding by Describing a Process
• The process of speeding up in a vehicle begins with the setting of the gear level
to the first gear. This moves the vehicle from a stationary to a slow speed of
about less than ten kilometers per hour (kph). Gradually you shift the gear to the
next, pressing the accelerator pedal at the same time to attain a speed between
10-30 kph. You pick up more speed by shifting gears to the next higher levels at
speed beyond 30 kph. To do this, however along with the shift or fourth gear,
ever-increasing pressure must be exerted on the accelerator. The only time you
lift your foot from the accelerator is when you shift gears, so that you can step
on the clutch pedal simultaneously with the shifting. After releasing the clutch
pedal, you immediately step on the accelerator pedal while picking up speed.
Maximum speed is attained once you shift to the fourth, or in the case of some
vehicles, the fifth gear, at which you travel at speeds of 80 kph or above.
(Gorgon, et al., 2010).
Steps in conducting research
• Research is often conducted using the hourglass model structure of research. The hourglass model starts with a
broad spectrum for research, focusing in on the required information through the method of the project (like the
neck of the hourglass), then expands the research in the form of discussion and results. The major steps in
conducting research are:
• Identification of research problem
• Literature review
• Specifying the purpose of research
• Determining specific research questions
• Specification of a conceptual framework, sometimes including a set of hypotheses
• Choice of a methodology (for data collection)
• Data collection
• Verifying data
• Analyzing and interpreting the data
• Reporting and evaluating research
• Communicating the research findings and, possibly, recommendations
