Method or methodology
13, 2011august 18, 2017methodology, methods, phd thesis 53 phd supervisor asked me what the difference between methods and methodology was several months ago and i did not know the answer. Thankfully, i was referred to a book by peter clough and cathy nutbrown called a student’s guide to methodology, which i would recommend to all phd students and problem, as i have since discovered is that i was too busy thinking about my literature review and undertaking all my reading under the misguided notion that methodology was something to be looked at later on. Read clough and nutbrown i now acknowledge that methods and methodology should be right up there in terms of priority as a starting point for any phd research project. Understanding the difference between methods and methodology is of paramount is simply a research tool, a component of research – say for example, a qualitative method such as interviews. Methodology is the justification for using a particular research if for example, like me, you want to understand the motivations and perceptions of a group of bloggers then you would most likely choose a qualitative, method as opposed to a quantitative as clough and nutbrown explain their book, decisions such as whether to interview, how many participants to interview and so on, “are often based on values and assumptions which influence the study, and as such therefore need to be fully interrogated in order to clarify the research decisions which are made. A clear idea on the methods and methodology for a phd thesis can make the job of reviewing literature much more straightforward as you can more precisely target studies in your chosen topic area and critique the whole approach to similar studies, including the methods short: “a good methodology is more a critical design attitude to be found always at work throughout a study, rather than confined within a brief chapter called ‘methodology. Rita, the most appropriate way to think about methods and methodology is in terms of the relationship and inter-connectedness between the two. You should not start thinking about research methods for any study without developing a methodology. Methodology is the consideration of your research objectives and the most effective methods and approach to meet those objectives. Methodology is the first step in planning a research project, so it is not a question of difference or similarity but of deborah, my wife and i were organizing a workshop for some postgraduate students on method and methodology and i happened to come across your post, it was most helpful.

You so much deborah for giving such a wonderful way of differenciating methods and you provide any book or any thing else to have deeper understanding. I do have a chapter on on this but it's at masters so much it's for your post…it has helped me though i still need more examples of methods and you very much for your clear explanation on the difference between methods and a lot. However, when we are doing our phd, for instance we have four sub research questions, so it means that each of them will have their own methodology and methods, and then we also will have one grand methodology for our main research questions. Annisa, there is one methodology that is applied to the entire research project – not one for each research question.
What i have gathered is method is the way you conduct the research and methodology is why you chose that method. Expand with reasons on the type of research methodologies you would piu, spot on regarding the simple difference between methods and methodology. The answer should be because it is the most effective method to answer the research quetions and it is appropriate for the participants. So for example, let’s say you are interested in finding out whether social media influences what music young people download – you might decide to use focus groups as a suitable method. It was then that i decided to look deeper to find out why one was always just called "methods" while the other was "methodology".

In my next post i’ll use the same smartart tool in microsoft word to think through the layout of my methodology and method section. Before i do this i want to talk briefly here about the difference between methodology and method as these two terms are often, and inaccurately, assumed to mean the same ch methods are the tools, techniques or processes that we use in our research. Methods and how they are used are shaped by ology is the study of how research is done, how we find out about things, and how knowledge is gained.
Methodology therefore explains why we’re using certain methods or tools in our or and murname (2010, p. 2) write,“the word methodology comprises two nouns: method and ology, which means a branch of knowledge; hence, methodology is a branch of knowledge that deals with the general principles or axioms of the generation of new knowledge. Simply put, methodology refers to how each of logic, reality, values and what counts as knowledge inform research. Example, in her 1999 (and 2012 second edition) book titled ‘decolonizing methodologies’ linda smith describes the colonising role of western research methodologies. The principles of these methodologies have often been about indigenous peoples being less than human and needing to be ‘civilised’. Decolonising methodologies is about the insertion of indigenous principles into research methodology so that research practices can play a role in the assertion of indigenous people’s rights and abstract from previous writer’s toolkit posts mentions terms practitioners used to describe their journey with māori patients. Other principles that inform our methodology can come from kaupapa māori:Tino rangatiratanga – the self-determination tuku iho – the cultural aspirations – the culturally preferred pedagogy piki ake i ngā raruraru o te kāinga – the socio-economic mediation ānau – the extending family a – the collective philosophy you’re planning to undertake research it’s important that you consider and make explicit your methodology, including the principles that drive your selection and use of research methods.

Examples are provided to clarify the writing the third chapter of the thesis or the methodology section, beginning researchers often confuse method with the methodology. Between method and methodologylooking carefully at the two words, notice that the method is a root word of methodology. Research methods are the tools, processes, or ways by which researchers obtain are data obtained then? All of these activities refer to the other hand, methodology still refers to method but with an extra “ology” at the end of the word. Therefore, methodology as a combination of ology and method is essentially a study of , methodology suggests that there is a need to study research methods. In writing a thesis or research, it is important to consider what methods are then shall you know which method to use in your particular study? The first question will be replied to by the first method you will use to satisfy its information requirements. The first method may also answer the next question, or there may be a need for you to devise or find another example, here are problem statements and the corresponding methods to be used:statement of the problemmethod1.
Blood pressure readings using a sphygmomanometerhaving listed the methods in the above table, you should justify why you used such methods and the guiding principles for using those methods. Describe in detail how the methods will be used to answer the questions you have posed in your study. If ever i write about your suggestion, this will be published in this website for everyone to was a good explanation about method and methodology. And one more thing that i want to know is that if a person used only one method in his study and he titled methods… is this a wrong usage in a thesis or a journal? And if the same person used two or three methods and put the title method instead of methods or methodology…is it wrong? If we take the grammatical approach, we could say that if a person only used a method and that he titled that section methods, then that would be incorrect. But there are scientific journals that do not mind such grammatical correctness because under the method section, there may be several methods that were actually used by the researcher, or vice-versa. What is important is we put across whatever new findings we want to for the published response which shows the difference between method and methodology. I was confused about method and methodology but your writing made me clear about a lot on differntiating research method from methodoloy! With this knowledge would i be right to say in my own words that ”methods” are the contents of chapter 3 of our thesis while ”methodology” explains what and how appropriate means and methods will be to a certain or given subject?
Dora, the contents of chapter 3 varies across universities, but usually, it describes the methods or methodology section. In a away, your definition of methodology would be acceptable, but you need to expound on it for you so much for this and now i have an idea between methods and a lot.

For software engineering frameworks, see software development ology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge. Methodology does not set out to provide solutions - it is, therefore, not the same as a method. Instead, a methodology offers the theoretical underpinning for understanding which method, set of methods, or best practices can be applied to specific case, for example, to calculate a specific has been defined also as follows:"the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline";[2]. The systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a discipline";[2]. Some of the most popular qualitative research methods are ethnography, grounded theory, biology, case study and tative approach- this approach adopts experimental and computational methods.
Methodology is the general research strategy that outlines the way in which research is to be undertaken and, among other things, identifies the methods to be used in it. These methods, described in the methodology, define the means or modes of data collection or, sometimes, how a specific result is to be calculated. 4] methodology does not define specific methods, even though much attention is given to the nature and kinds of processes to be followed in a particular procedure or to attain an proper to a study of methodology, such processes constitute a constructive generic framework, and may therefore be broken down into sub-processes, combined, or their sequence changed. In theoretical work, the development of paradigms satisfies most or all of the criteria for methodology. 6] an algorithm, like a paradigm, is also a type of constructive framework, meaning that the construction is a logical, rather than a physical, array of connected description of a means of calculation of a specific result is always a description of a method and never a description of a methodology. It is thus important to avoid using methodology as a synonym for method or body of methods. A methodology is the design process for carrying out research or the development of a procedure and is not in itself an instrument, or method, or procedure for doing ology and method are not interchangeable. In recent years however, there has been a tendency to use methodology as a "pretentious substitute for the word method". 7] using methodology as a synonym for method or set of methods leads to confusion and misinterpretation and undermines the proper analysis that should go into designing research. 2005) “designing a strategic information systems planning methodology for malaysian institutes of higher learning (isp- ipta), issues in information system, volume vi, no.
