TANTANGAN METODELOGIS KUANTIFIKASI SOSIOLOGI

Abstract

Uncertainty in the nature of human behavior and interaction patterns as part of the
community, in sociology, has been avoided by the use of quantitative methods such as chaos
theory, non linearism, and dynamics of complex systems. As for the facts and mutual
dependence globalizing processes and social structures, can be overcome by applying
Bayesian statistical methods and Boolean logic. Similarly, with limited explanation of
statistical methods, can be offset by assessments or base react to these conditions, as explained
by the theory of Black Swan. Overall these facts are methodological challenges faced by
supporters of quantitative sociological research. Theories in sociology more produced by
qualitative research, but with awareness of the limitations of these and deal with adaptation of
curricula and updating methods and techniques of statistical analysis and deepening the skills
in modeling statistical and mathematical, so expect sociological theories results of
quantitative research, will be produced and developed in sociology lesson in all strata of
learning.
Keywords: chaos theory, non linearism, the dynamics of complex systems, the theory of
