Middle Level Teachers Using Focus Group Research
Whitney, Linda
Education, v126 n1 p3 Fall 2005
Focus group discussions offer participants time to discuss particular topics. This article discusses some results of several graduate students' attempts to implement focus group research. After a brief review of literature reflecting the use of focus groups and recommendations for their use, the author reports their reactions and their experiences. Moreover, the author will share what the students learned about conducting focus groups at middle schools and suggestions for their use at middle schools.
