作为一个领域，教育在很大程度上未能从经验中学习。一次又一次，有希望的教育改革达不到目标，并被其他有希望的想法所取代。在《学会改进》一书中，作者主张采用一种新的方法。他们认为，教育工作者应该采取更严格的改进方法，使该领域能够快速学习以实现良好的效果，而不是快速实施和学习，作者使用改进科学的想法，展示了如何将纪律调查的过程与网络的使用相结合，以识别，适应并成功地扩大有希望的教育干预措施。围绕六个核心原则组织，这本书展示了如何一个工作的改进社区可以汇集研究人员和从业人员，以加速教育的关键领域的学习。例子包括努力解决社区大学补救数学课程学生的高失败率，以及改善对新手教师反馈的策略。学习改进为教育研究和发展提供了一个新的范例，有望成为国家中小学和大学改进的强大动力。
As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience. Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place. In Learning to Improve , the authors argue for a new approach. Rather than oimplementing fast and learning slow,o they believe educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that allows the field to olearn fast to implement well.o Using ideas borrowed from improvement science, the authors show how a process of disciplined inquiry can be combined with the use of networks to identify, adapt, and successfully scale up promising interventions in education. Organized around six core principles, the book shows how onetworked improvement communitieso can bring together researchers and practitioners to accelerate learning in key areas of education. Examples include efforts to address the high rate of failure among students in community college remedial math courses and strategies forimproving feedback to novice teachers. Learning to Improve offers a new paradigm for research and development in education that promises to be a powerful driver of improvement for the nationAEs schools and colleges.
