Die Methodik dieser Studie wurde im Anhang detailliert beschrieben.
The methodology of this study was described in detail in the appendix.
The word 'Methodik' (methodology) is closely related to 'die Methode' (the method; an individual procedure). 'Methodik' is more abstract and refers to the entire study of methods or the system of all methods applied in a particular area.

'Methodik' (methodology) is a technical term used mainly in scientific, academic, or formal contexts. You often find it in studies, research reports, and expert discussions.

Common verbs are 'eine Methodik anwenden' (to apply a methodology), 'eine Methodik entwickeln' (to develop a methodology), or 'eine Methodik kritisieren' (to criticize a methodology). Typical adjectives are 'wissenschaftliche' (scientific), 'qualitative' (qualitative), or 'quantitative Methodik' (quantitative methodology).
In der Sozialforschung wird oft eine qualitative Methodik angewendet.

technology / technique
'die Technik' and 'die Methodik' can both have to do with ways of doing things. 'die Technik' often means a concrete way of carrying something out, or technical procedures in a field. 'die Methodik' is more systematic: it describes which methods are used in a planned and organized way in a science, in teaching, or in a field. Learners may confuse the words because a methodology can also include different techniques. As a guide: 'Technik' is more about the individual execution or the practical procedure. 'Methodik' is more about the larger plan according to which you proceed.
