Abstract

This study aims to examine the orientation and expectations of communication research methods within the framework of social science. Communication is understood as a meaning-laden social process; therefore, the selection of research methods becomes a crucial factor in producing valid and relevant scientific findings. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research design, with data sources consisting of books and scholarly journal articles that discuss communication research methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative. The data were analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative technique through systematic classification and interpretation of methodological concepts. The findings indicate that communication research methods have distinct epistemological orientations, in which qualitative approaches emphasize the understanding of meaning and social context, while quantitative approaches focus on measurement and generalization of communication phenomena. The expectations of communication research methods encompass not only technical accuracy but also analytical depth, social relevance, and the ethical responsibility of the researcher. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the orientation and expectations of communication research methods serves as an essential foundation for producing high-quality research that contributes to the development of communication studies.

Abstract

Research is a scientific activity conducted systematically and in a planned manner to acquire new knowledge and to address various problems in society. This study aims to analyze students' understanding of quantitative research methodology within higher education learning contexts. The research employs a library research approach by reviewing various relevant scientific literature, including journals, books, and academic articles. The findings indicate that students' understanding of quantitative research tends to be limited to technical aspects, such as numerical data processing and statistical analysis, while their comprehension of conceptual, methodological, and philosophical foundations remains insufficient. Furthermore, students demonstrate a low level of understanding regarding the tradition of quantitative research, particularly its grounding in the positivism paradigm. Misconceptions are also found in fundamental concepts such as variables, hypotheses, and research design. Overall, students’ understanding is categorized as moderate and requires further improvement. These findings suggest the need for more comprehensive and integrative learning strategies in teaching research methodology, emphasizing not only procedural skills but also conceptual and philosophical understanding.
