1.(qualitative data collection1.收集分析定性数据定性数据收集是Methodology里的一个主要方法。你可以利用各种各样的渠道来搜集有关你研究的数据和资料。通常我们可以通过面试和小组讨论，观察和反思笔记，各种文本图片，和其他材料来获取我们所需要的信息。在收集信息之后，我们要对信息进行整合以及分析，同时将整合的数据呈现给读者，从而为你的研究赢得更高的可信度和专业度。
2.收集分析定量数据(quantitative data collection 定量数据收集分析也是Methodology的一方面，而且定量数据的可信度更高，数学性很强。我们需要依据统计数据，建立数学模型，并用数学模型计算出分析对象的各项指标及其数值，最后得出对我们研究论文有利的结论。在写Methodology部分时，我们可以向读者介绍我们对研究的定量数据收集和分析，让读者了解我们研究所用的方法从而得到他们的肯定和信任。
3.定性和定量两种数据收集相结合定性和定量两种数据收集结合也是Methodology一种形式，我们可以通过定性数据收集和定量数据收集结合的方法来得出我们的结论。将两种方法结合会使得我们研究更具有专业性和完整性。我们既可以通过观察和讨论来获得社会性的数据，也可以通过专业数学模型来得出专业数据。这种方法会使得论文的Methodology部分非常地全面和完整
4.总结通常我们在写Methodology的时候，我可以通过这三种方法来写。你可以通过分析你搜集的数据来分析你所要研究的问题，同时告诉读者你的数据是如何被搜集的，而且你有事如何来分析这些数据的。Methodology里需要阐述的内容。或者有些数据是你自己通过研究产生的，你也需要说明你的研究数据产生的过程。
