Abstract

In debates undertaken in the general pedagogy area, a significant place is occupied by methodological issues related to searching for new possibilities of generating pedagogical knowledge. It is a result of various conditions. Most of all, it is a response to changes that take place in widely defined education and newly posed questions about the usefulness of pedagogical knowledge. It is also an important fragment of creating the discipline’s identity, entering into the dynamic process of its internal changes and development. There are new questions related to the subject’s conceptualisation, new ways of formulating research problems, which requires new methodological solutions. The  study presented is meant to be a voice in the debate over situating research  defined as applied/practical regarding  the needs of pedagogical practice as well as pedagogical theory. Special emphasis was laid on evaluation research in education, which in the author’s opinion generates many possibilities of identifying consequential pedagogical issues.
