Selamat datang di uzairsuhaimi.blog! Blog ini merekam jejak pemikiran penulisnya mengenai bidang sosial-ekonomi-kependudukan dan refleksinya mengenai kebijaksanaan abadi dalam perspektif Islam.
FGD adalah “suatu prosespengumpulan informasi mengenai suatu permasalahan tertentu yang sangat spesifik melalui diskusi kelompok” (Irwanto, 1988:1), bukan melalui wawancara, bukan perorangan, dan bukandiskusi bebas tanpa topik spesifik. Metode FGD termasuk metode kualitatif. Seperti metode kualitatif lainnya (direct observation, indepth interview, dsb) FGD berupaya menjawab jenis-jenis pertanyaan how-and why, bukan jenis-jenis pertanyaan what-and-how-many yang khas untuk metode kuantitatif (survei, dsb). FGD dan metode kualitatif lainnya sebenarnya lebih sesuai dibandingkan metode kuantitatif untuk suatu studi yang bertujuan “to generate theories and explanations” (Morgan and Kruger, 1993;9).
Tulisan ini disiapkan penulis sebagai panduan bagi pelanksana studi kualitatif dalam kaitannya dengan “Studui Dampak Sosial Krsis Moneter”, kerjasama BPS-ADB, 1999. Tulisan lengkap dapat diaksesus dengan meng-click: FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION
Statistics and religion. This is perhaps an unusual combination for many. The first is dealing with the empirical world, the second with that beyond that world. However, that is my reflection regarding myself.
As a statistician, I spent 30 years (1981-2011) serving BPS-Statistics Indonesia. After that my professional services were dedicated to TNP2K office (an office under the vice president office) for a few months and to ILO-ROAP as a senior statistician for half a year. Since 2012 most of my time is dedicated as an independent consultant on statistics-related work, mostly for ILO and on some occasions for some government offices Indonesia. My recent work (2019) was on estimating child labour in Indonesia for ILO Country Office Jakarta.
As for personal interest, since young, I've been fascinated with the basic principles of religious thought, especially on its esoteric dimensions, essentiality, and universality. Sufism and perennial philosophy are of my special interest. On this subject, I have posted a number of short articles in my personal blog: https://uzairsuhaimi.blog.
