methodology
The methodology ( Greek μεθοδολογία , about which teaching of the procedure ") refers to both the teaching of the techniques from a single discipline and the general teaching of scientific methods as part of the logic and philosophy .
The question asked here is the criteria for which method is suitable for a certain type of application, why a certain method must or is used and no other. Questions about the methodological approach are clarified here. The methodology is therefore a meta-science and thus a sub-discipline of the philosophy of science . In contrast, methodology describes the methodological knowledge of the practitioner or scientist.
