Abstract

Nowadays, there is an emphasis on the use of qualitative meth ods in the educational research, what contradicts the research dialectical paradigm, which supports the qualitative and quantitative unity. The essence of the phenomena which are studied in the education and pedagogical sciences requires the use of qualita tive methods. The focus group method is an example of those methods that could be used to find and evaluate educational research variables, because of the opinions some members of a group can give. Finally, some suggestions to employ the focus group method are given for the educational research.
