metodologisissa

Metodologisissa is a Finnish adjective form used in plural inessive, corresponding to “in methodological contexts” or “in methodological aspects.” It is not a standalone noun but a grammatical form of the adjective metodologinen, which denotes relation to methodology or methodological matters.

Etymology and morphology: The base is the adjective metodologinen, derived from metodologia (methodology), a common scientific term built from method and -logia. The suffix -issa marks plural inessive; thus metodologisissa modifies a plural noun in the inessive case, such as tutkimuksissa, viitekehyksissä, or osioissa.

Usage: Metodologisissa is primarily used in academic and research writing to reference methodological considerations, choices, or sections. It often appears when contrasting different approaches, describing research design, data collection or analysis procedures, or when situating results within a methodological framework. It is more common in formal Finnish than in everyday speech.

Examples:

- Tutkimuksen metodologisissa osioissa käsitellään data-analyysimenetelmiä.

- Metodologisissa valinnoissa on huomioitu sekä kvantitatiiviset että kvalitatiiviset lähestymistavat.

- Eri tutkimusasetelmat vaikuttavat metodologisissa viitekehyksissä tehtyihin päätöksiin.
