Research and evidence review methods serve as the foundation for ARDEI's commitment to robust research and evaluation practices. As we continually update our inventory and integrate new evidence-based instructional materials, our approach evolves to meet the dynamic landscape of educational research and instruction. Our dedication to conducting educational, program, and policy research is driven by the goal of comprehensively understanding complex issues, establishing links between policies and practice, and articulating the needs of our learners, clients, and the world around us.

​

In our research endeavors, we employ a mixed-methods approach that strategically combines qualitative and quantitative data. This deliberate balance ensures methodological rigor while providing a nuanced understanding of the findings. By embracing both types of data, we can delve into the intricacies of program effectiveness and uncover the reasons behind their success or areas for improvement.

​

Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond the research phase. We understand the importance of translating our findings effectively for diverse audiences, and we strive to communicate the implications of our research comprehensively. By doing so, we empower our learners with the knowledge and insights needed to make informed decisions that positively impact learning outcomes and the world around them. In essence, our research and evaluation practices form a dynamic and responsive framework, continually adapting to new information and challenges within the educational landscape.
