This article discusses preliminary findings from a sequential exploratory study aimed to examine the relationship between research and intervention from the perspective and experiences of Chilean social workers. Drawing upon thematic analysis of 17 interviews with frontline social workers, the findings suggest that a comprehension of social work as a practical domain pervades the interviewees’ accounts. However, dissenting voices are also identified, in which social research is seen as a strategy that may help reinforce social workers´ commitment with emancipation. The barriers to the integration of research in social workers’ interventions are discussed, and academic and professional challenges in this field are identified.
