Abstract. The urgency of the study lies in the fact that modern socio-economic development is
characterized by a constant updating of the system of scientific knowledge, an intensive increase in the
number and complexity of information. In these conditions, the task of highly qualified specialists, who
on a qualitatively new theoretical and methodological basis, can analyze the complexities of the
modern world deeply and systematically, make optimal solutions for society as a whole and for the
economy, in particular rises as the main task of high school . The central problem is the study of
methods and approaches of scientific knowledge, through which one can deeply penetrate into the
essence of the investigated phenomena and processes of objective reality. The objectives of the study
are to analyze a set of methods and approaches that, in their totality, constitute a methodology and
organization of scientific research and are useful for social sciences and humanities and behavioral
sciences. Methodology - (grammatical methods - method, method and logo - science, knowledge) - the
doctrine of the rules of thinking in the creation of the theory of science. The methodology is considered
as a doctrine of the scientific method of cognition or as a system of scientific principles, on the basis of
which the research is based and the choice of a set of cognitive means, methods and means of
research is carried out. The result of the study. Philosophical methodology carries out two types of
functions: 1) reveals the meaning of scientific activity and its interrelation with other spheres of
activity, that is, examines science in relation to practice, society, human culture; 2) solves the problem
of improvement, optimization of scientific activity, going beyond the limits of philosophy, although
based on the ideological and general methodological guidelines developed by it. Methodology is a
conceptual statement of the purpose, content, research methods, which provide the obtaining of the
most objective, accurate, systematic information about the processes and phenomena being
investigated. Conclusions. The methodology and organization of scientific researches investigates the
regularities of the functioning and development of science, the structure and dynamics of scientific
knowledge, deep penetration into the essence of the investigated phenomena and processes.
Key words: method, methodology, approach, technology, methodology, scientific knowledge,
philosophical methodology..
