What Am I?
The teacher will give a definition or a
description of an object. The participants will
bring out from their bags and raise that object
which they think is being defined or described.
The teacher will give more specific

A Concept Paper
• Defines an idea or a concept and explains its
essence in order to clarify the “whatness” of
that idea or concept. It answers the questions:
what is it and what about it? (Dadufalza, 1996).
• Starts with a definition, either formal or
informal, of the term or concept and proceeds
with an expanded definition and an analytic
description of the aspects of the concept.
Purpose
• To stipulate the meaning of a term by
• Limiting
• Extending or
• Redirecting
• the reference or sense in which the term is commonly
understood or to use in a special way a term
borrowed from another field in which it is made to
apply (Dadufalza, 1996).

ACTIVITY 2
Let’s Elucidate It!
1. Choose among the words that were given in the
previous activity (Guessing Game).
2. Make a mind map of your
concept.
3. Decide on how you will
elucidate on the chosen
concept using the following
definition techniques:
GROUP Definition Techniques
1 Formal and Negation
2 Origin and Metaphor
3 Function and Analysis
4 Analogy and Illustration
5 Contrast and Synonym

were explained and clarified belong?
2. What are the various ways by which
a writer can elucidate on a concept?
Ex. A robot is a machine that looks like a human
being and performs complex acts of a human
being (Webster)
1. FORMAL
Follows a pattern or equation
Term + genus + differentia
(differentiating characteristics)
”
“
Ex. Hashish-marijuana

Using a word or phrase that shares a
meaning with the term being defined
”
“
3. By ORIGIN or SEMANTIC
HISTORY

Ex. Unlike those of gas, the particles of
plasma are electrically charged.
”
“
10. By NEGATION
Stating what a term is not
”
“Ex. Wild rice, an American delicacy, is not rice at
all but the seed of a tall aquatic grass.

This is a summary written by students
embarking on research to gather and
present preliminary ideas: to review a field
of study, state a research question, identify
methods, and indicate the significance of a
line of research, often including a budget
and timeline. It tells the reader what the
research is, why it is important and how it
will be carried out.

between two or more concepts and are linked by
words that describe their relationship.
Webs
Brainstorming webs show how different categories of
information relate to one another.
Mind Maps
Mind Maps are visual representations of hierarchical
information that include a central idea or image surrounded by
connected branches of associated topics or ideas.

Editor's Notes

  • #16 In this sense, a concept paper can be subjective because the writer can choose what areas to emphasize, what explanations and analyses to include and exclude, and what complex ideas have to be simplified. However, even if the concept paper tends to be subjective, the writer still has to make sure that concepts are clarified and explained in such a way that the readers can understand and make sense of the connections.
