Focus group research was central to our design for the Perspective™ reporting system and companion websites. Pearson’s usability specialists conducted face-to-face focus groups as well as one-on-one interviews with more than 100 teachers, principals, test coordinators, and parents before we built our customized reporting and online resource solution. Additonal studies have been conducted with over 100 students in the classroom setting to focus on student needs and interests. We are committed to continuous improvement of our products and services, and perform ongoing research in support of these improvements.
