The method of analysis of the material obtained in the conversations with students is discourse analysis. First, two dominant strategies of focus group usage are discussed: as means for collecting data from subjects and as a social emancipatory practice.

“…Takođe, značajan broj stručnih saradnika ukazuje na složenost i delikatnost sopstvene uloge u procesu izbora adekvatnih strategija podrške neuspješnim učenicima (Gutvajn i Ševkušić, 2013), dok nastavnici smatraju da su neuspješni učenici uspješni u vanškolskim aktivnostima i da im dodatna nastava pruža mogućnosti u pogledu rada sa njima (Malinić, Đzinović i Jakšić, 2015). Na osnovu misljenju učenika školski neuspjeh je njihovo lično pitanje i odgovornost, te zbog toga niko ne bi smio da na njih vrši pritisak ili da ih ucjenjuje (Džinović, 2009).…”

“…Kao istraživačka tehnika korišćen je polustrukturirani intervju jer je on obezbeđivao dovoljnu fleksibilnost i osetljivost za lična značenja i socijalni kontekst (Cohen, Manion & Morrison, 2007;Snape & Spencer, 2003) i, pritom, predstavljao sredstvo osnaživanja pošto pruža priliku da se "čuje glas" (Džinović, 2009;Pope & Denicolo, 2001) onih čija je uloga u društvenim promenama velika, ali se retko o njima pitaju.…”

“…Many recent studies conducted around the world, show a new reorientation of children towards active participation as research subjects (Eide & Winger, 2005;Einarsdottir, 2007;Harcourt & Einarsdottir, 2011) -it is especially emphasised that listening to children's voices is very important for understanding of their perception of life, social environment, school and learning (Pascal & Bertram, 2009). According to Džinović (2009), "giving voice" to those who cannot often be heard in institutional education represents an innovative research strategy and, on the other hand, a fundamental qualitative change in the educational practice. It is proposed to focus on qualitative research paradigm and action research, which would provide a more concrete answer to the question how students use their textbook, and how the textbook activates and guides students through the process of adopting scientific knowledge (Pešić, 2016).…”
