Many thanks for this content. How do you present the findings from the focused group discussion and interviews analysis when these two methods of data collection are used to collect data from the study participants? Of important note is the fact that the participants in the focused group discussion are different from those interviewed.
I would present them separately, most likely (sometimes when the 2 thematic frameworks turn out to be similar , it is possible to merge them). Regarding the content, the priority in focus group discussion findings will still be themes that you developed. You May complement this with some insights into group dynamics, etc, if there is a way to do this, but this is optional
Im doing my doctoral thesis about the impact of teachers questions on students' performance and critical thinking . At is a comparative study of three eastern universities, i have chosen qualitative and quantitative study, but at the same time i m wondring about the comparative study???? Do these methedologies help me in doing comparative study?
Sure why not, if you believe that these methods will help you obtain relevant data and answer the research questions - go for it. It is not useful to think in terms of "do these methods fit the idea of a comparative study/grounded theory study/case study.." or whatever, the only question you should be concerned with is always "do these methods help me answer my research question"?
Please guide me. I am doing a qualitative study and Iam using interviews and FGDs as my methods of data collection. However I intend to compare the themes realized from interviews with data from FGDs. In such a scenario, do I still need the non verbal cues from FGDs. And if yes, how do I bring them into my study. I am really confused about that non-verbal information from FGDs. Thanks
This is not as important as people thing, so the answer is no. There are plenty of FG studies that focus entirely on the content of conversation. So, you do not need the non-verbal. Just code and analyse your interview data and your fg data separately, and develop separate themes
I'm doing a Professional Doctorate and using Focus Groups to capture equestrian coaches thoughts on working with recreational riders. With the current lockdown situation, I have been considering using the Zoom online platform - do you have any thoughts on this method of working with Focus Groups remotely.
If there is a way to record the whole chat and be able to clearly see who speaks when, I am sure this can be done, and it may actually be easier to transcribe this data than it would be in a regular focus group recording. Of course there will be some people who will argue against doing online focus groups, pointing for example to the very fact that these people are physically in different places and surely this will Somehow influence what they say and how, there are always critics of everything, and although I never really thought about this before you asked this question, I am beginning to think this would actually be a good idea to do it through Zoom. Of course you will need much more than this advice of mine, in terms of preparing for this, and for defending your views
I have discovered that if you have Zoom Pro and Ottr (a voice recording app) you can combine the two and get a transcription of your conversation at the same time!
@@qualitativeresearcher Thank you! Do you also have some suggestions or links to research articles/studies that use focus group methodology? Perhaps, some that you think have effective data analysis from the focus group (s)?
Visit my website and explore the different ways in which I can support you and your study! drkriukow.com/my-services/
could you explain please what meant by meeting minute
Ok. I anticipate more educational tips from FOCUS GROUP 🙏
Finally I understand what a focus group is. Thanks a bunch. You're amazing and clear
This was helpful in distinguishing a focus groups from a group interview.
Students around the world are thankful to God because guys like you exist
You are the best for me sofar. Brilliant
Thanks! :)
Thanks for clarifying the focus group from in interview group.
You're welcome!
This has been very helpful. Thank you Dr Kriukow
you're welcome!
Keep it up Dr👍
Incredibly useful. Thank you!
I have subscribed to your channel and liked some of your videos. Great work, Dr.
Thank you! There will be many more ! :)
Thank you so much Dr 🙏 it's very helpful
Amazing explained
Very useful. Thanks Dr. :)

Hello Dr. Very useful information you have here. can focus group discussion be used in phenomenological studies?
to my knowledge, I can see no reason why it wouldn't be, but of course make sure to read up on this first

@qualitativeresearcher Thank you very much Doc!
How do we create themes of the research through focus group discussion?
I have videos on how to develop themes - the same will apply to focus group data so you may want to watch them

Can you please share the link to your blog and/or research articles you mentioned in your video. TIA.
