A Practical Guide to Focus-Group Research
This article guides readers through the decisions and considerations involved in conducting focus-group research investigations into students' learning experiences. One previously published focus-group study is used as an illustrative example, along with other examples from the field of pedagogic research in geography higher education. An approach to deciding whether to use focus groups is suggested, which includes a consideration of when focus g…
Academic Research and Teaching Quality: The views of undergraduate and postgraduate students
Undergraduate and postgraduate students drawn from eight different disciplines at a UK university were asked to participate in structured discussions of the effects of lecturer research activity upon student learning. Both samples showed a substantial preponderance of positive over negative comments. In both groups, the frequency of positive comments about lecturer research activity increased as the quantity and quality of research in their disci…
The Role of Information and Communication Technologies in a University Learning Environment
This article reports three related studies which investigate how undergraduates use and think about information and communication technologies (ICT) in the context of learning at university. Data were obtained via questionnaires, computer diary records and focus group discussions. The studies were intended to help universities decide how to incorporate ICT into student learning, how the cost of equipment should be shared between students and inst…

A 71-item, Likert-type questionnaire was completed by 100 Oxford Brookes University final year undergraduates. The pattern of correlation between variables together with the results of a factor analysis, suggests that a relationship exists between type of student motivation and attitude to faculty res…
