Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Practical Research -2 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on


DESCRIBES INTERVENTION.
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators
from public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

For the Learner:

Welcome to the Practical research-2 Grade-12 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)


Module on DESCRIBING INTERVENTION.
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active participant.
For the learner:

After this lesson, the learners are able to do the following:


 Describe an intervention for Validity and reliability. (if applicable)
 Interfere to the condition or process as to look at the result appeared in the
instrument used.(as to prevent harm or improve functioning)

What I Need to Know

Intervention provides critical analysis of practitioner-developed assessment


procedures mas well as papers that focus on published test. The journal features
articles that describe the relationship between assessment and instruction, introduce
innovative assessment strategies, outline diagnostics procedures m analyze
relationship between existing instruments, and review assessment techniques,
strategies and instrumentation.
The primary concern in intervention research is to generate empirical
evidence for making valid inferences about the effects of the intervention on the
hypothesized outcomes. The evidence should indicate that the improvement in the
outcomes is attributable to the intervention, and not to any substantive or
methodological factors inherent in the context of the evaluation study. In this lesson,
an overview of validity is presented. Threats to validity and approaches to minimize
their influence are discussed. Choosing research designs and methods, researchers
laid out an evaluation for intervention

4. A. When pre-test and post-test are the same, the effects can play a role in
the results.
B. A good test should be reliable and valid.

up for your test trial.
B. If wrong instrument is used, the result can quickly become meaningful
and productive.
6. A. Reliability and validity are two concepts that refer to the quality and
accuracy of data instruments
B. Physical strength possesses no natural connection to intelligence.
7. A. When trying to achieve any goal with the help of data, reliability and validity
is no longer needed.
B. The validity of the instrument chosen to answer the research question.
8. A. Validity can be achieved by using multiple tools from multiple viewpoints.
B. When testing and developing any instrument, reliability and validity are two
important factors to consider.
9. A. A test can be reliable without being valid.
B. A valid test is always reliable.
10. A. Measuring your actual weight every time you step on the scale makes your
results reliable and valid.
B. If a test is reliable, it may not provide valid and accurate measure.
Lesson

17 Describing Intervention

Under the minimum requirements set for this resource, all interventions
must be ethically sound, have a specified target audience, an evidence-based
theoretical basis, and a clearly defined as well.
The primary concern in intervention research is to generate empirical
evidence for making valid inferences about the effects of the intervention on the
hypothesized outcomes. The evidence should indicate that the improvement in the
outcomes is attributable to the intervention, and not to any substantive or
methodological factors inherent in the context of the evaluation study. In this lesson,
an overview of validity is presented. Threats to validity and approaches to minimize
their influence are discussed. Choosing research designs and methods, researchers
laid out an evaluation for intervention

Directions: Read this research abstract and answer the questions that follow.

Abstract

Purpose: Precisely described interventions in nursing research reports are essential


as a foundation for nursing practice and to facilitate future research. The purpose of
this project was to characterize the intervention descriptions in nursing intervention
research reports.
Design methods: Quantitative content analysis was used to analyze intervention
descriptions in reports published in English-language general nursing journals during
2005. Normative analysis was used to examine reports for details related to
intervention content and delivery. Physical unit analysis was used to compare
relative amounts of article space devoted to intervention description vs. other
methodological details.
Findings: Results were tabulated for 141 research articles published in 27 journals.
Analysis indicated incomplete reporting of intervention details in many articles. Dose
and dosing frequency were rarely completely defined. Delivery setting and
interventionist were frequently not indicated, and the professional credentials of
nurse interventionists were often unclear. While descriptions of interventions
involving substances or devices were typically detailed, the specifics of
psychological, educational, behavioral, and systems-level interventions were often
lacking. Intervention descriptions averaged 7.27% of total article space, whereas
nonintervention methodological descriptions averaged 20.74% of space. Of studies
examined, only 38 (27.0%) reported enough detail to potentially replicate the study
or translate the intervention into practice.

Conclusions: Intervention descriptions in general nursing journals lack sufficient


detail to provide the evidence basis for practice.

What is It

.
Intervention research as an essential part of social work as a profession and
research discipline. A brief history of intervention research reveals that use of
intervention research for the betterment of human conditions is contemporary with
the genesis of modern social science. Advances in intervention research are
attributed to the comprehensive social programs launched during the 1960s in the
United States. A contemporary and generic model of intervention research is
described. It is argued that it is ethical to use intervention research and unethical not
to use it. Assessment of some of the recent advances in policy making and science
gives an optimistic picture of the future of intervention research.
An intervention is a combination of program elements or strategies designed to
produce behavior changes or improve health status among individuals or an entire
population. Interventions may include educational programs, new or stronger
policies, improvements in the environment, or a health promotion campaign.
Interventions that include multiple strategies are typically the most effective in
producing desired and lasting change.
Interventions may be implemented in different settings including communities,
worksites, schools, health care organizations, faith-based organizations or in the
home. Interventions implemented in multiple settings and using multiple strategies
may be the most effective because of the potential to reach a larger number of
people in a variety of ways.

Evidence has shown that interventions create change by:


 influencing individuals’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and skills;
 increasing social support; and
 creating supportive environments, policies and resources.
