520 |a In this speech, the author explains that metamethodology is a system designed to develop and test a methodology for a specific, definable purpose; and, as such, to provide for the development of, and the research into, methodologies. The paper begins with a brief clarification of the difference between methods and methodology and a discussion of the development and refinement of metamethodology. The main body of the document is concerned in detail with the seven basic steps of metamethodology: (1) State the purpose of the proposed methodology; (2) test the purpose by criteria such as its desirability, practicability, uniqueness, and operationability; (3) analyze the implications of the purpose; (4) operationalize the purpose; (5) design procedures; (6) test the procedures; and (7) revise the purpose and/or procedures, if necessary. The author contends that the steps should accomplish three things necessary to produce the best possible methodology for a definable purpose: (1) The determination of the purpose, (2) the development of the steps that make up the methodology, and (3) the testing of the methodology to see that it accomplishes the purpose. The complete methodology of metamethodology is shown in an appendix. (Author/DN)
