METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN DISSERTATION RESEARCH

Abstract

In the article, the authors present their research on the understanding of the concept of “methodological approach” as an approach of a general scientific and specific scientific level in pedagogical science and practice, according to the opinions of various authors. The first part of the article examines the scientific content and interrelation of such concepts as “paradigm”, “methodology”, and “methodological approach”. In addition, the names of methodological approaches that are found in the titles of dissertation research over the past 30 years are considered. Researchers substantiate various names of approaches to the study of certain pedagogical processes. An analysis of the methodological approaches stated in the titles of dissertations has shown their multiplicity, and sometimes the unreasonableness of using such names in research methodology. Studying the results of dissertation research devoted to the study of methodological approaches in pedagogical science gives young researchers the opportunity to understand and deepen their knowledge about them in order to reasonably state them in the theoretical framework and apply them in the implementation of their research.
