Abstract

One of the disciplines covered in the social sciences is communication sciences. Communication; when considered from an overall and simple perspective, is defined as the transfer of messages between sender and receiver. As every kind of innovation is integrated into social life over time, increasing human-based practices and significant importance of communication emerge both scientifically and socially; communication has been more institutionalized and gained its current structure. Communication, studied on undergraduate and postgraduate level at many colleges and institutes, has gained even more importance parallel to important changes created by new media and communication technologies especially depending on the spread of Internet and technological infrastructure to a wider area. In this study, a research will be performed with a small group of -in quantitative sense- students, and results will be evaluated about the adaptation of new communication technologies integrated into study of communication and to what extent they are used.
