módszertanként

Módszertanként is a Hungarian expression formed by the noun módszertan (methodology) plus the postposed suffix -ként, meaning “as a methodology” or “per methodology.” It is used primarily in academic, research, and professional contexts to frame discussion, classification, or evaluation in terms of methodological approaches rather than in terms of subject matter alone.

The phrase signals that a discussion or analysis is organized around specific methodologies, treating each approach as a distinct category. It can be used to compare different methodological options, to describe how a study is structured according to particular methods, or to assess findings from a methodological perspective. In practice, módszertankénti framing helps to separate the evaluation of data from the evaluation of methods themselves, highlighting the influence of chosen methodologies on results.

Common contexts include research design, evaluation reports, and methodological reviews, where authors aim to clarify how different approaches would shape conclusions. For example, a paper might present a módszertankénti comparison of qualitative versus quantitative analyses, or discuss policy implications with regard to each methodology as a separate lens.

Limitations of the term include its relative rarity outside specialist writing and the potential for ambiguity if the surrounding text does not clearly specify which methodologies are being contrasted. Nevertheless, módszertanként remains a concise way to indicate that analysis or discussion is organized by methodological categories. Related terms include módszertan (methodology) and módszertani megközelítés (methodological approach).
