Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survei dengan mengumpulkan semua tesis dan skripsi yang di perpustakaan, kemudian di analisis tema dan metode riset yang digunakan.

Dalam hal metode Penelitian, mahasiswa S1 dan S2 cenderung memiliki kesamaan, yakni masih didominasi oleh metode survey. Sementara untuk metode Analsis data mahasiswa S1 cenderung memakai analisis Isi dengan pendekatan kualitatif pada tataran praktis, sedangkan mahasiswa S2 cenderung memakai survey dengan analisis kuantitatif pada tataran konseptual.

In the case study method, students S1 and S2 tend to have in common, which is still dominated by the survey method. While the data for analysis method S1 students tend to use content analysis with a qualitative approach on a practical level, while the S2 students tend to use survey with quantitative analysis at the conceptual level.
