The relationship between research and evaluation in social research

On Wednesday 13 November 2024, Visiting Emeritus Professor Harry Torrance delivered a seminar on the relationship between research and evaluation in social research. He noted that many current discussions of research in education insist on defining research in terms of one particular approach and method – randomised control trials (RCTs). This presentation explored this issue by reviewing the purposes of research and evaluation, the ways in which they may or may not contribute to the development of policy and practice, and whether more distributed and collaborative approaches to educational research might help to rehabilitate the relationship of knowledge to practice.
