Thematic scope:

In order to use the Focus Group Interviewing technique properly and methodologically correctly, it needs to be understood and practiced. A professional focus study (FGI, FGD) may look like a casual conversation, but it requires a lot of skills from the facilitator, including dealing with dynamic group processes. The workshop will help answer the questions of when and for what purpose to use FGI, how to prepare for it and how to moderate sessions to obtain good quality data.

 

PROGRAM:

What is FGI and when should it be used?

How to plan and prepare (for) such an examination?

How to create an interview script?

How to moderate and facilitate a group? - moderating fragments of the focus sessionHow to do it ethically?

 

For whom?

The workshop is intended for participants who do not have much experience with Focus Group Interviewing, but use, would like to use or are considering using FGI in their research work. Participants will practice and analyze individual FGI situations in their circle.

 

How?

Workshop - didactic methods is an intensive working session, with elements of a lecture. The aim of the workshop is not only to present the FGI technique to the participants, but above all to actively practice the role of a moderator, respondent and FGI observer. Participants will have a chance, in safe conditions, to test standard situations as well as the so-called difficult situations waiting for qualitative researchers using the FGI technique.
