ABSTRACT

Research, a dynamic journey of exploration, transcends traditional definitions to embrace an unwavering pursuit of truth and knowledge. It stands as the bedrock of intellectual advancement, marked by scientific rigor, objective inquiry, and rational understanding. P.M. Cook and J.W. Best underscore its comprehensive and intensive nature, yielding dependable solutions and substantial contributions to knowledge. Inherent in research is an expedition into the unknown, weaving the threads of curiosity into enlightening patterns. It operates on dual levels—foundational knowledge aids immediate problem-solving, while expansion through research thrives. Action research empowers practitioners, fostering decentralization and broadening understanding. It rejuvenates educators, nurtures experimental outlooks, and fortifies the profession. Quality research problems adhere to criteria like novelty, interest, feasibility, data availability, and cooperation. These problems shape the journey, driving impact and comprehension. Varied research approaches—qualitative, quantitative, and action—cater to distinct needs. Action research, in particular, empowers by engaging, decentralizing, and enriching practitioners. It offers lenses through which knowledge is pursued, contributing to society’s intellectual and practical evolution.
