Focus groups let you examine your participants' experience of a teaching situation in more depth than a survey, and with more data sources than a one-on-one interview. This introduction to how and why to use focus groups for data collection covers how to prepare for facilitating them, and includes some of the key issues to consider in focus group design, such as sampling and planning issues, as well as anticipating problems.
I’m from Arts / Social Sciences, and I’d come because: it's an opportunity to network with others and hear about different approached to conducting focus groups.I’m from MVLS / Science & Engineering, and I’d come because: I can explore using focus groups and find out more about qualitative data collection methods.
Tea and coffee will be available.
Please note that these CPD workshops are only open to University of Glasgow staff (including Graduate Teaching Assistants / Demonstrators).
