The Intervention Research Model in the Human Sciences: application to practice.

Prof. Dr.Herman Strydom

ABSTRACT: 

To present the Intervention Research Model as one way of doing research in the development, application and evaluation of programmes in the human sciences in order to add to existing technology in a particular subject.

Methodology:

The Intervention Research model is intended to develop specific technology that can contribute to the field of study of subjects such as Social Work, Nursing and Psychology. The focus of this model is on the conceptualising, development and the eventual evaluation of programmes to enhance or maintain the well-being of individuals, groups or communities. Intervention researchers should need to think and conceptualize afresh in designing new interventions, seeing that there is a need to identify and develop new and conceptually relevant interventions that can contribute to the science of a particular subject (Roestenburg & Strydom, 2021: 463).
