The 2005 Education Research Methods (ERM) course, sponsored by the Education Research and Development of Academic Informatics Services, presents “Focus Groups,” the sixth workshop in the series.
The workshop, from 4 to 6 p.m., Wednesday, June 22 in Room 4.484T in the Dental School, will include a presentation that will introduce focus groups as a viable qualitative research tool that can yield rich information not captured by quantitative methods. Topics to be covered include: 1) when to use a focus group; 2) advantages and disadvantages of using focus groups; 3) how to prepare for conducting a focus group; 4) tips for conducting successful focus groups; and 5) how to collect, analyze and report focus group data.
The course will be presented by Debra Stark, Ph.D., evaluation specialist, and David Henzi, Ed.D., education development specialist.
The registration deadline for the course is June 17. Questions about ERM can be directed to Dr. David Henzi: (210) 567-2290 or e-mail:
