Focus group.

Abstract

FMRIperience more often than others. About one fifth of the population claims never to have felt it, and a similar proportion claims to experience it several times a day. There is little known about the reasons for such individual differences. Neurological factors may account for them (Hamilton, 1981), but whether these are due primarily to inheritance or learning is not clear. In any case, by early adolescence teenagers develop patterns of activities and experiences that lead either to habitual enjoyment, or to listless passivity. [See Boredom.] The frequency and intensity of flow can be enhanced by two different strategies. The first consists in changing the external conditions to resemble those of a game or a work of art: by clarifying goals, providing more detailed feedback, and creating a better balance between challenges and skills. The second strategy involves changing one's approach to life: choosing appropriate challenges, developing appropriate skills, identifying goals, and recognizing feedback.The possibility of improving the quality of everyday life by applying the principles of flow has been recognized, for instance, in the practice of clinical therapy (DeVries, 1992). music education (Elliot, rggs), sports (Stein, Kimiecik, Daniels, & Jackson, 19g5), and interaction with computers (Hoffman & Novak, 1996). Schools and workplaces are other environments where the introduction of flow promises great benefits.

Rethinking Dubai's urbanism: Generating sustainable form-based urban design strategies for an integrated neighborhood

“…This helped me to acquire and develop a deeper understanding of the narratives; find themes; discuss and report agreements, disagreements, and opposing information among the panel; make comparisons, and -triangulate‖ different sources of information by investigating opinions and responses from the local, regional, and international sources and using it to generate a -coherent justification for themes‖ (Creswell, 2033). According to Glaser and Strauss (1967) and Krueger (1998), saturation enhances the reliability and validity of the results and is attained when new participants no longer yield new information.…”

“…In interviews, for example, the complexity lies in the extensive and large amount of data and information collected in a short period of time (Krueger, 1998 (Creswell, 2033). Particularly, during the interviews and while listening and writing the transcripts, I paid a particular attention to the following analysis criteria originated by Krueger (1998): the meaning and context of comments, the internal consistency, the extensiveness of comments, and the intensity of comments.…”

Effective Children’s Rights Education from the Perspectives of Expert Teachers in Children’s Rights Education: A Turkish Sample

“…Groups usually consist of 6-10 people and last 1-2 hours in duration (Patton, 2002). In the study, relevant literature findings were followed in the planning of focus group interviews and its implementation process (Patton, 2002;Kruger, 1998;Krueger & Casey, 2000). In this context, a group of six people with similar characteristics was formed before interviews.…”

A Study on the Interpretive Structural Model to Discuss the Analysis of Curriculum Planning and Benefit among Cosmetology and Hair Salon Professional Courses in College - Department of Cosmetic Applications and Management

“…Ceng, S. H. (2002) believed that the focus group should at least have two or more attribute groups to discuss research issues. Krueger & Casey (2000) indicated that the members of focus group interview usually consists of 6-10 people while the number of interviews for focus group interview may continue with the group interview depending complexity of problems, data saturation; namely constant new data or themes, until reaching the point of data saturation. The research focus group conducts interview with 6 members consisting of experts, teachers, cosmetology and hair salon industries for the five-year junior college-department of cosmetology application and management to draft the research issues.…”
