256 Explanation Focus group • Welcome, thank you for coming. • Introduction of the moderator + role, introduction of the assistant • About focus groups: o Topic: How teacher training can equip students to deal with religious diversity in a good way. o Goal: to know to what extent you value this, what you think is important and where you see possibilities o Total time: maximum of 2 hours, with a short break halfway through (coffee/tea) o Rules of play: • Participants may have different opinions: interrupting is allowed, but not too much; • There are no right or wrong answers; • Let participants speak in their own words; • Participants may also ask each other questions; • We keep the conversation/discussion central; • The moderator leads the discussion and intervenes when necessary. Opening question1 2 8 5 minutes (Ideas from all the participants) • It is all about the situations teachers come up against in practice. In my e-mail I already mentioned a few, such as differences of opinion in the team, religions in other countries in Geography or different religious backgrounds of pupils. I would like to find out if you have any other ideas. So: briefly brainstorm with the person next to you about specific situations in which the theme of religious diversity or “faith differences” emerge in an average classroom at an orthodox Protestant primary school (perhaps related to your subject). I will then collect all the ideas together. Introductory question 10 minutes • One idea that was suggested by some teachers and rejected by others was a mandatory internship in a non-Christian school. • As far as you are concerned, what would be the advantages and disadvantages of this approach? 128 Different types of questions based on Handleiding Focusgroepen (Handbook Focusgroups; Kwaliteitsinstituut voor de gezondheidszorg CBO, september 2004) that was distributed during the qualitative interviewing training on 16 November 2018 (Marion Matthijssen).
