Focus on Focus Groups 
National Museum of American 
History (NMAH), Behring Center 
East Conference Room, 4th floor 
Friday, March 2, 2001, 2:00pm-4:00pm 
Sponsored by: Museum Education Roundtable/National Museum of American History. 

Presenter: Randi Korn, Principal, Randi Korn Associates, Inc.

"Focus on Focus Groups" is the first in a series of programs for MER members 
and NMAH employees.  Co-sponsored by MER and NMAH, the programs will 
consider research-based findings on how people learn in museums, and/or model 
methods for studying how people use exhibits to build understanding. "Focus 
on Focus Groups" takes a nuts and bolts approach to the topic: What is a 
focus group?  What are the right questions to ask in conducting a focus 
group?  How do you apply the findings?  The format will provide an 
opportunity to discuss current and potential applications of this method.

Pre-registration strongly suggested.  Space is limited.
