What Is The Difference Between Method And Methodology?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    They're still the same in terms of meaning. I think the only difference is the spelling and the use of the word. Others who love to use complex words use 'methodology' so as to confuse others.

    Method is the technique used to accomplish a task and methodology is the study of the the method itself. Many people use these words interchangeably but they are not synonymous. Temitope Olubowale

    Method: Is the process followed in undertaking a task of which the intended output is achieved.
    Method-logy which is a combination of method and logic, explains how various methods can be used to reach the an output but then questions the logic or rather the necessity of some of the steps.

    "They're still the same in terms of meaning." Utter nonsense! They are very different.
    "Others who love to use complex words use 'methodology' so as to confuse others" - that can be said of people -- especially Business graduates -- who use "methodology" when they actually mean "method". Methodology does not refer to research or to the specific analysis techniques and refers to more than a simple set of methods. Instead, methodology is the analysis of the principles of methods.

      Method is a number of steps you must go through in order to accomplish a task while methodology is the way you adopt to deliver a subject within the steps mentioned by a method.
