The focus group interview method provides a research instrument for collecting
qualitative data by analysing the opinions, views and perceptions of participants in an interactive
situation supported by an appropriate infrastructure. The article presents the potential
of using focus groups in andragogy research, highlighting their growing popularity. The
text presents the focus group interview method, taking into account the different variants
and the methodology of application. Both the potential and limitations of using this method
are discussed, particularly in the context of qualitative research focused on the process of
adult learning.
