The purpose of the gathering was to get oriented with how to conduct focus group discussions and how to analyze focus group data. The peer group learning session was facilitated by Mr. Raymon P. Española, Overall CTE Extension Coordinator, where he presented the basics on focus group facilitation and basic qualitative analysis.
