From our interviews, we’ve heard there are 3 top needs for people in your role. Are these true for you? Say more. Why or why not?
There’s a lot of research that covers the same ground in the same way, I have to parse through it to find what’s new and interesting, if anything
I don’t think people in a general audience would be interested in 40 – 60% of what I’m writing, I have to tailor my stories to my core audience, usually a trade or professionals like researchers
It’s so hard to use IES tools, like NAEP data explorer. I stumble across new variables in it and have to write down the magic combination of parameters to reach it again. If it wasn’t such good data, I wouldn’t bother dealing with the tool to get it

Focus groups will follow the same protocol as the 1:1 interviews with the following changes to the script:
We want you to do the talking. We would like everyone to participate. I may call on you if I haven’t heard from you in a while.
Please be tolerant of others’ thoughts and opinions and let’s have just one speaker at a time.
The discussion will last for a little over one hour. Please silence your mobile phones. Please give everyone the chance to express his/her opinion during the conversation. You can address each other if you like. I am here to facilitate the discussion.
As a part of the interviews, we will include a user test.
Participants will be shown a new webpage design or concept (e.g., new homepage layout). This will help the research team understand how usable the new design is for a given user group.
Script:
Now we would like to you participate in an activity. Our goal is to understand how you think about and categorize information. Just like with the rest of the interview, there are no right or wrong answers.
First, tell me what you see on the page.
Now, navigate around the site and talk through what you expect to occur.
If there are things you are expecting that do not occur, please tell us.
Questions throughout:
Why did you navigate there?
What were you expecting to occur?
As a part of each of the interviews, we will include a cart sorting question.
Participants will be shown a list of various parts of the IES website to group (e.g., RELs, research grants, NAEP). This will help the research team see how the interviewee thinks about information in order to inform the website navigation.
Script:
Now we would like to you participate in an activity. Our goal is to understand how you think about and categorize information. Just like with the rest of the interview, there are no right or wrong answers.
First, group the cards in whatever way makes sense to you.
Now, name the sections. Whatever makes sense to you as a name for something that contains the contents of the group you just created.
If you see something no longer makes logical sense, you can change your groupings.
Questions throughout:
Why did you use group in that way?
Where else were you thinking about placing information?
