Your Definition
A methodological approach that explicitly recognizes and incorporates ideological assumptions into research design, rather than pretending to be value‑free. Ideomethodology does not mean abandoning rigor; it means being transparent about how ideology shapes question formation, evidence selection, interpretation, and policy recommendations. It contrasts with positivist methodologies that claim neutrality while often embedding dominant ideologies invisibly. Ideomethodology is common in critical research traditions (feminist methodology, Marxist methodology, decolonial methodology). It insists that all methods are ideologically situated, and that honesty about that situatedness improves, not undermines, scholarly integrity.
