RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The research process is a continuous cycle. Research does not follow a one-way linear progression, instead it is a continuous process of checking and re-checking, evaluating and analyzing, and repeating the entire process over and over again.

Detailed explanation-2: -Applied research is a type of research that is aimed at the practical application of science in order to solve practical problems. On the other hand, basic research is a type of research that is aimed at expanding knowledge rather than solving problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four basic stages in the cyclical action research process: reflect, plan, act, observe, and then reflect to continue through the cycle (Dickens & Watkins, 1999).

Detailed explanation-4: -Action research can be based in problem-solving, if the solution to the problem results in the improvement of practice.
