Permasalahan pada penelitian ini adalah adakah perbedaan pengaruh antara metode Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dan metode Simulation Game (SIG) terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan siswa. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengaruh antara metode FGD dan metode SIG terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan siswa. Metode penelitian eksperimen semu dengan rancangan penelitian non randomized pretest-postest with control group. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas XI SMK Hidayah Semarang berjumlah 172 siswa dan sampel 60 siswa dengan teknik propportional stratified sampling.

“Focus Group Discussion” Dalam Paradigma Pembangunan Partisipatif

Some recent years, the field of Development Communication has developed a bottom up approach in order to build a comprehensive program for stakeholders. The reason behind this approach is to generate participation among people who became their target. As a variant of participatory development, Focus Group Discussion has became an alternative for communication research method. In practice, Focus Group Discussion has great potential to achieve their optimum role. But, whoever employ this approach must also aware its limitations

Determining Educational Needs: A Focus Group Approach

The first step in planning and delivering a successful program is to identify the needs and interests of the target audience. The North Central Risk Management Education Center, which provides grants for educational programs for producers in the 12 north central states in the US, conducted a series of focus groups with producers. The goals of the focus groups were to: 1) determine the impact of funded programs; 2) assess risk management education needs of producers; 3) assess preferred delivery methods; and 4) determine program characteristics that will enhance participation. The participants had an average age of 45 which is about 12 years younger than the average age of all farmers. With 1,861 acres of owned and rented land, they had slightly larger operations than the average producer. Labor availability and management was the most common educational concern. Marketing of traditional commodities continues to be a high priority. Related priorities were developing value-added businesses and developing niche markets for new products and farm-related services. Associated concerns were liability insurance needs, reliable supply of needed inputs and government regulations involved in new enterprises. In terms of disseminating information on education programs, direct mail delivery is preferred as email may not be checked regularly in busy periods. Mailings should be directed to both husbands and wives. Program fees are not only acceptable but are viewed as an indicator of quality and credible information.focus groups, risk management, education needs, labor, marketing, human risk, Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

Codes of conduct research & focus group report (Version: 0.1)

"In December of 2007, LLUK was commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) to work with the Children’s Workforce Development Council and other stakeholders to undertake scoping work around a number of the proposals resulting from the Ten Year Youth Strategy. One of these proposals is to investigate the creation and introduction of a code of conduct across the youth work sector. To take this work forward LLUK is delivering early planning and scoping activities to consider how such a code of conduct scheme for youth work might be designed, developed and implemented. This paper reports on the research undertaken and focus groups that were held to gather the sector view and use of codes of conduct. These will inform the development of an implementation plan to take the work forward in 08/09." - Page 3
