“改进科学”的理论和工具已经在许多组织部门产生了绩效改进。本文描述了改进科学，并探讨了它在教育中的潜力和挑战。潜在的贡献包括关注学校内的知识建设和激励系统，从实践中的变化中学习的策略，以及专注于改进（而不是项目的采用）。两个例子，改进科学在教育中的审查：社区学院路径网络改进社区和日本的经验教训研究。为了支持改进科学的使用，我们需要认识到实验和改进科学的不同启示，可以概括的各种类型的知识，实用测量的价值，以及跨边界学习的可行性。
The theory and tools of “improvement science” have produced performance improvements in many organizational sectors. This essay describes improvement science and explores its potential and challenges within education. Potential contributions include attention to the knowledge-building and motivational systems within schools, strategies for learning from variations in practice, and focus on improvement (rather than on program adoption). Two examples of improvement science in education are examined: the Community College Pathways Networked Improvement Community and lesson study in Japan. To support improvement science use, we need to recognize the different affordances of experimental and improvement science, the varied types of knowledge that can be generalized, the value of practical measurement, and the feasibility of learning across boundaries.
