Concept in Definition ABC

The concept of practice can be used with several different meanings. It can even, depending on the context, act as a noun (for example when saying "with the practice is improved ") but also as an adjective (if you say for example" doing exercises is practical for the Health"). In any case, the term always has to do with the notion of something to be done, that is carried out and that requires certain knowledge or constancy so that the results are as expected.

When the term is used as a noun, we are talking about any job, activity or action that is carried out constantly and with commitment so that it is not a particular event at one time or a circumstance. The practice becomes a regular action that is carried out for different objectives. One can be to improve and obtain an increasingly superior performance, for example when talking about chess practice, of some sport, the study, the kitchen, etc. In this sense, practice is understood as 'the act of doing' something on a regular basis that implies the possible obtaining of good results in the

performance. On the other hand, the word practice is commonly used in the field of medicine to refer to the different areas such as the practice of anesthesiology, traumatology, dermatology, etc. In this case the term becomes more abstract and it serves to designate the area where this activity takes place regularly. Thus, in the catalogs of areas or services that a hospital can offer, a clinic or a social work, we talk about practices such as the different areas covered within that institution.

Furthermore, the term practice can also be understood as an adjective. In this way, something is considered practical when it is useful and positive, that is, it can provide benefits for those who carry it out. Something practical is something relatively simple to do, that involves solutions or benefits and that is recommended. An example of this is when students are recommended to make synoptic tables of the texts they read because they are considered a practical element to obtain better results.
