Research and Development (R&D) is a research approach that focuses on the systematic development, validation, and refinement of educational products. The increasing application of R&D in educational research highlights the need for a comprehensive review of its concepts, characteristics, procedures, implementation, and the comparative features of various R&D models. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the fundamental concepts, characteristics, development procedures, implementation, as well as the strengths and limitations of widely used R&D models in educational research. The study employed a Narrative Literature Review (NLR) method by examining relevant scientific sources, including journal articles, books, conference proceedings, and other scholarly publications. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-comparative approach through the stages of identification, selection, classification, synthesis, interpretation, and presentation of findings. The results indicate that the Borg & Gall, ADDIE, Dick and Carey, Four-D (4D), and Plomp models share the common objective of producing valid, practical, and effective educational products, while differing in development stages, complexity, and implementation scope. Borg & Gall provides a comprehensive framework for large-scale product development, ADDIE offers a simple and flexible approach, Dick and Carey emphasizes systematic instructional design, Four-D is particularly suitable for instructional material development, and Plomp adopts an iterative prototyping process. Therefore, selecting an appropriate R&D model should be based on the research objectives, product characteristics, user needs, and available resources. This review provides a comprehensive reference for researchers and educational practitioners in selecting suitable R&D models to support the development of high-quality educational innovations.
