In placing the issue of the ethics of using anthropological methods for educational evaluation in the context of scientism, anthropology and other social sciences are viewed as being in part either qualitative or quantitative. Furthermore, the difference between research and evaluation places the ethnographer in another position in relationship to those studied. Two basic categories of ethical considerations are discussed: data gathering, including loyalty and employment of the field worker, methodology, and confidentiality; and the results of data collection, including the right of review, dissemination of findings, and impact of the data. In Section B, entitled "The Interaction of Ethnics and Method," some of the ethical issues involved in designing a research methodology are dealt with. Comments are based on the experience of studying Project Follow Through using a group interview technique. (BW)
