Constructing a Deep Complexity and Systems Science Foundation for the Field of Evaluation
Constructing a Deep Complexity and Systems Science Foundation for the Field of Evaluation Jonny Morell, PhD Meg Hargreaves PhD This section of the blog Evaluation Uncertainty, Surprises in Programs and their Evaluations is an effort to continue and expand prior work setting evaluation theory and evaluation practice within a deep understanding of complexity and systems … Continue reading Constructing a Deep Complexity and Systems Science Foundation for the Field of Evaluation
A Complexity-based Meta-theory of Action for Transformation to a Green Energy Future
This chapter draws from complexity science to present a metatheory of transformation that can be applied to discrete theories of change that are constructed to guide model building, methodology, and data interpretation for the evaluation of individual change efforts.
