Understanding the Similarities and Distinctions Between Improvement Science and Evaluation
In this chapter, we discuss the similarities and points of departure between improvement science and evaluation, according to use, valuing, and methods—three dimensions of evaluation theory to which all theorists attend (Christie & Alkin, [Christie, C. A., 2012]). Using these three dimensions as a framework for discussion, we show some of the ways in which improvement science and evaluation are similar and how they are different in terms of purposes, goals, and processes. By doing so we frame the illustrative cases of improvement science that follow in this issue.
