Category: What do research and theory in complexity and systems tell us about evaluation practice and evaluation theory?

Part of a series on drawing on system and complexity science to do evaluation. My initial interest in the relevance of evolutionary theory was specifically in a field known as evolutionary epistemology. In its simplest form, this views the evolutionary process as a type of learning process, one involving the selective acquisition and retention of information, happening at multiple levels of scale.

Scale, Uncertainty and Risk: A Complexity Perspective -- Part of a series: What do research and theory in complexity and systems tell us about evaluation practice and evaluation theory?

Part of a series on how research and theory in systems and complexity can be applied to the field of Evaluation.

"Traditions of ‘Complexity and Systems Science’?" is part of a series connecting evaluation theory and practice to research and theory as it has developed in the fields of complexity and systems.

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
