Hello Dr. Wanzer,

I am a Master’s in Education student currently studying the difference between research and evaluation. I had always struggled grasping the differences in the two, and felt they were just carbon copies of each other, just under different names. This post, especially the hour glass illustration, helps me clearly identify the differences and will be using it in the future to help define research and evaluation correctly.

One question I have concerns the ‘Areas of Difference’ table: Under ‘value judgement’, it states that research is neutral in this aspect. Could you argue that this would depend on which paradigm is used to conduct the research?

Thank you,
Kerry

Hello Dr. Wanzer. I hope all is well. I came across your website through a YouTube video on research and evaluation on James Pann’s Channel. I am currently a graduate student at ASU and working on a class discussion project that prompted us to reach out to a professional/ author (reliable source) to discuss the research and evaluation in our current course: introduction to research and evaluation in education. The purpose of me writing to you is to gain knowledge and understanding research and evaluation and to apply it to educational enquiries. I would also like to know the tips you suggest to use when conducting research and evaluation in assignments and in an applied project/work? How would you describe the differences between research and evaluation, and the similarities between them. This might include of course the importance of each approach. We are currently focusing on the work and textbook by Mertens (2020). I would be delighted to hear from soon so I can share your thoughts with my class this week on n Sunday.

Thank you,

Cristina
