28. Example Teaching Trialog Glass (fellow student): Let’s just go over the importance of these things one more time. Why do we need to have operational definitions? (question) Laura (human student): so that they can be reliably measured and used by other researchers Glass: OK. (neutral feedback) Dr. Quinn: (FBS Teacher): Um, can you add to that? (pump) Laura: it is important to create operational definitions because they provide a basis for measuring variables and so that they can be reliably measured and used by other researchers in other studies. Glass: That is not clear to me. I thought operational definitions had something to do with telling others about your study. What could that be? (Hint) Laura: how to measure a variable. Glass: I still don't understand. Wow, it seems like operational definitions have something to do with being able to reliably do something. What is that something? (prompt) Laura: measure a variable Dr. Quinn: Okay. Reliably recognize variables (neutral feedback, prompt completion) Glass: I'm remembering something about how operational definitions make it so that a variable means the same thing to all researchers. That means that when other researchers use the same variable, it is what? (prompt) Laura: reliable Dr. Quinn: Great! It is reliable (positive feedback, prompt completion) Glass: Yeah, I understand. Operational definitions are important to consider because they allow a particular variable to be reliably recognized, measured, and understood by all researchers. (summary)
