Abstract:
|
This paper reports findings from a metaresearch of development communication research conducted between 1997 and 2005. In this study, 167 journal articles, book chapters, and books were examined for the ways the publications discussed features such as theoretical frameworks, conceptual and operational definitions, research methods, conclusions, and suggestions for future research. It compares the findings to previous metaresearches of development communication research conducted in the 1958-to-1986 and 1987-to-1996 time periods. The results indicate that (1) some features of development communication research have remained consistent over time (e.g., most researchers conclude that development communication has a positive effect on individuals and social structures); (2) some features of development communication research appear to be cyclical (e.g., Lerner’s model of media and modernization informed many development communication studies in 1958-1986 and 1997-2005, but none in 1987-1996); and (3) there were some important changes over time (e.g., gender issues have received increasing attention). The paper concludes with some observations about the theory of modernization and the reasons for its persistence as a basis for development communication. |

| Meta-Research of Development Communication Studies 1997-2005: Patterns and Trends Since 1958 The field of development communication in the United States has been in ferment almost from the moment of its conception. Lerner’s foundational study Modernizing the Middle East: The Passing of Traditional Society published in 1958 which established the idea of using mass communication to aid in the process of moving individuals and societies from traditional to modern was not received with universal acclaim and acceptance among American scholars |
