• Both action research and basic research prioritize solving immediate challenges in classroom settings.

• Both action research and basic research are primarily concerned with theoretical knowledge development.

In which section of a research paper would you expect to find a detailed plan for sharing research findings and encouraging their practical application in relevant fields?

• Ethical Considerations

• Recommendations

• Dissemination and Advocacy Plans

• Conclusions

In qualitative research design, which characteristic best describes the nature of the data collected, emphasizing its reliance on non-numerical formats such as narratives, visuals, and artifacts?
