Evaluierung der Aktivität
The focus group method was chosen to produce insights that are fostered through group dynamics. The moderator directs questions to a group of 4–12 participants who then respond, validate, challenge, and expand on each other’s statements. This study’s focus group method (Millward, 2000) involved using a semi-structured format, with questions focused on the participants’ relational experiences with mentor figures. In each focus group, the facilitators evolved from asking more general to more specific questions.
