research and evaluation

Research and evaluation involve systematically investigating a topic to gather information and assess its value or effectiveness. In general knowledge, this means exploring facts, principles, and practices through studies, surveys, or experiments. Research seeks to expand understanding, while evaluation analyzes how well something works, such as a program or policy. Together, they provide insights that inform decisions, guide improvements, and contribute to our overall understanding of various subjects. This process helps ensure that knowledge is based on evidence and applicable in real-world situations.
