Methodology





STUDY OF METHODS

Research methodology is the attempt to validate the rationale behind the selected research design and provide justification of why it is appropriate in solving the selected research problem. It is the process by which we evaluate tools that produce knowledge.

The term is also used in the humanities; in Literary Criticism , a methodology refers to the critical approach, Theoretical Heuristics , and assumptions about the relationship with the Historical and Literary context with which a critic analyzes a particular Text .


SET OF METHODS

Most Science s have their own specific methods, which are supported by methodologies (i.e., rationale that support the method's validity).

In Software Engineering and Project Management , 'methodology' is often used to refer to a codified set of recommended practices, sometimes accompanied by training materials, formal educational programs, worksheets, and diagramming tools. While these would be more accurately referred to as ''methods'', the word ''methodology'' is more Grandiloquent .
