Abstract
The various existing models of intervention research all have advantages and disadvantages.Postgraduate students, and especially doctoral students in Social Work, have on many occasionsexpressed their dilemma in choosing a specific model of research for intervention procedures.Therefore, many have used the intervention research model or the developmental research andutilisation model, while others have adapted these models to suit their specific researchendeavours. After making a careful study of these two models, an adapted intervention researchmodel will be suggested for use in studies of a combined research and practice nature.
Highlights
The various existing models of intervention research all have advantages and disadvantages
The objective of this article is to evaluate the models of developmental research and utilisation, and intervention research, and to suggest an adapted intervention research (AIR) model to combine and integrate the other models
The operational steps deal with important components of each phase and involve a set of specific activities to be carried out. From the literature it seems that the developmental research and utilisation model was developed before the intervention research model
Summary
The various existing models of intervention research all have advantages and disadvantages. Postgraduate students, and especially doctoral students in Social Work, have on many occasions expressed their dilemma in choosing a specific model of research for intervention procedures. Many have used the intervention research model or the developmental research and utilisation model, while others have adapted these models to suit their specific research endeavours. After making a careful study of these two models, an adapted intervention research model will be suggested for use in studies of a combined research and practice nature
