From Intervention to Research: Transforming to Understand and Produce Knowledge

The development of hybrid forms of work and the emergence of new forms of work organization are reconfiguring the occupational psychologists intervention’s areas, and the activities they observe. Drawing on a research field led with specialized educators whose work has shifted from being confined within boarding schools to a state of total mobility outside the institution, this article aims at understanding such new working configurations and contributing to a discussion on the role, place and practices of the researcher within them. It illustrates the methodological adjustments we have made in the course of our research work, and the development of an intervention research posture that we hope to see further discussed.
