What is methodology
The methodology literally
it’s the science (logos) of the methods, epistemology, study of methods or the
method of methods.
When working on a field, we
can establish a series of question to ask, people to go and interview,
information to be collected, operations to be carried, in order to make
choices. This allows to carry more effective study or solving a problem. The
methodology is this systematization of the study, regardless of the field of
study itself.
Methodologies have been
subject to very significant changes over the ages, especially in philosophy and
science. It depends on many periods of history, but even civilizations.
Difference between method and
methodology:
A method is a rational and
organized approach in order to achieve a desired result. Methodology is the
science of the method (as its etymology suggests), a discourse on method; a
meta-method.
