A minister in a little church had been having trouble with the collections.
One Sunday he announced, “Now, before we pass the collection plate, I would like to request that the person who stole the chickens from Farmer Bayless’ henhouse please refrain from giving any money to the Lord. The Lord doesn’t want money from a thief!”
The collection plate was passed around, and for the first time in months everybody gave.

I love those witty little church signs!!
Methodology means what KIND of research is being conducted. For instance, is it a qualitative, quantitative, or a multi-method study? Or, are you manipulating any variables or just observing some phenomena? The method of data collection would be HOW are you getting your data? Are you doing interviews, giving questionnaires/surveys, etc. etc. So in your example, the METHODOLOGY of research would probably be an observational and qualitative type study, and since nothing is being manipulated, it is not an experimental study. The METHOD of data collection would be field notes, and interviews. And yes, you can definitely do both together… I hope this helps!
