Under educational research, the primary objective of 'Action Research' is to bring about immediate improvement in school functioning and classroom teaching methods. In this context, if a teacher conducts the Action Research cycle (Plan, Act, Observe, Reflect) to solve the problem of students 'obtaining low marks in a unit test' in their mathematics class, which of the following characteristics of this entire scientific and empirical process makes it distinct and specific from fundamental or basic research?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Action research is an applied and practical research conducted by teachers, administrators, or counselors to improve the quality of their own practice. The purpose of fundamental research is to formulate new theories, whereas the purpose of action research is to provide immediate local solutions to classroom problems.
