Abstract

In these last four years, my Research Groups and I have been awarded Funding Research Projects, focused on the issue of Evaluation in different contexts. We started our research, but we encountered many problems due to the emotional side (see individual and group dynamics) of the behaviour of the participants. When doing research, you cannot stop at the surface and at a formal level. Many things occur that have not been foreseen by the Research Project Framework which, on the contrary, turn out to be very important. We are talking about what is known as 'serendipity', i.e. the fact that, while you are searching for something, you find something else unexpected, but still very important. The hidden and emotional aspects of doing research are revealed to be as important as the official and stated ones. Often, only the stated objectives of the research are fulfilled, leaving out everything that occurs emotionally in the research experience, because it seems to be material of little significance. It actually often relates to fragmented data, to new-born processes which therefore cannot be fully categorized. However, they are very important in order to acquire an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon studied
