yöntemi

Yöntemi is the Turkish noun formed as the form used with the word yöntem, meaning method or technique. In Turkish, yöntem denotes a particular approach used to achieve a result, while metot is another common term for method. The form yöntemi is used to refer to a specific method within a sentence or phrase, such as bilimsel yöntemi (the scientific method) or deney yöntemi (the experimental method).

In academic and professional texts, yöntemleri (plural) or yöntemin (genitive) are used to discuss multiple methods or to describe the method of something. Yöntemi often appears in phrases that specify how data is collected, analyzed, or tested, for example, veri toplama yöntemi or analiz yöntemi. While yöntem denotes the general concept, researchers frequently distinguish between method (yöntem) and methodology, though Turkish terms can be used interchangeably in everyday language.

Across disciplines, the concept of method encompasses procedures, rules, and techniques designed to systematize work, ensure reproducibility, and facilitate communication. In science, the term bilimsel yöntem refers to the standard steps of forming hypotheses, collecting data, and testing conclusions; in education, teaching methods guide instructional practice. The term yöntem plays a central role in how researchers describe their approach, assess alternatives, and compare results within and across studies.
