Focus Group Discussion Guide Assignment

Focus Group Discussion Guide Assignment

I’ve attached the sample study guide in the upload materials section please follow it

Background: Included in our class materials (see the “Pages” section) is a sample discussion guide that I produced for a research company with which I sometimes work.  As youll see, the discussion guide has comments along the right-hand margin that explain the rationale for various things that were done.  The research project was one about product placement in Hollywood productions.  The product in this case was the U.S. Air Force, and the goal of the research was to determine if people noticed the service when it appeared in three movies Iron Man, Transformers, and Eagle Eye.  We showed participants clips from the three movies and then asked them to discuss what they had seen using this discussion guide.  Read through the sample discussion guide, and I think youll get the gist of what was going on.

Assignment: Choose any topic (client, product, research idea, anything) about which you are interested in.  Think about how you might explore this topic using focus group research.  Write the discussion guide that you would use for the focus group.  Assume your focus group will have 12 participants and that it will last 20 minutes.  The demographic makeup of the focus group participants is up to you and likely will depend on the nature of the topic you choose to explore. In addition to the actual discussion guide, write a short (approximately one page) background section that tells me about your topic, what you are trying to discover about that topic, and the demographic makeup of your participants.

An important part of being an active researcher in archaeology is generating new knowledge and ideas about the archaeological past. This includes excavating new sites, examining artifacts and ecofacts, and reviewing data in new ways. In this assignment, you are the researcher digging for new clues amongst the data.

Begin by choosing an important site or type of site that was built and/or used in British early prehistory. You must email me no later than February 19 to clear your choice. Read as much as you can about your site/type site and critically evaluate the data and leading interpretations.

Next, write a paper (max. 2500 words) that discusses

      – your sites significance, what it tells us about the past, and how its use/significance changed over time

      – the data that have been gathered and the leading interpretations

      – any controversies that surround these interpretations

      – your critical analysis of the interpretations (use the ‘Thinking Critically’ handout to help guide you)

Make sure you use concrete data and examples to support your ideas and cite all of your information in text and include a bibliography at the end of your paper. There are several handouts in the Student Writing Support folder to help guide you through this process of research, analysis, essay planning, and persuasive writing.

Your paper should be supported by a minimum of 10 reliable, scholarly resources, including at least 1 site/excavation report, that are correctly referenced using the Harvard method. In your research, avoid websites, blogs, newspaper articles and magazine articles because they are not detailed enough for this assignment. You must submit your paper online in the dropbox folder provided no later than March 29, 2020 at 11:59 pm. Late submissions will incur a penalty of 5% per day, inclusive of weekends.

Here are a few sites or types of sites you may wish to research, but you are not limited to these.

Durrington Walls, Wiltshire    henges
Cairnpapple, West Lothian, Scotland    stone circles
Milfield Basin henge complex, Northumberland    recumbent stone circles
Maes Howe, Orkney    chambered cairns
Barnhouse, Fife    timber longhouses
Castlerigg Stone Circle, Cumbria    round barrows
Thornborough henges, Yorkshire    long barrows
Star Carr, Yorkshire    passage graves
Knap of Howar, Orkney    burnt mounds
