ACase study
BFocus group ✓ Correct
CEthnography
DIdeal group
Correct answer: (B) Focus group — A facilitated group discussing a defined topic and jointly making meaning is a focus group, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★A facilitated group discussing a defined topic and jointly making meaning is a focus group, so that is the answer.
★A focus group brings several participants together with a facilitator around one defined topic.
★The members question the topic and interact, building meaning jointly through their discussion.
★A case study examines one unit in depth, not this group construction of meaning.
★Ethnography studies a culture in its natural setting over time, not a single facilitated discussion.
★An ideal group is not a standard method, so the described technique is the focus group.
