A teacher consistently makes an effort to improve the quality of learning through the use of various interventions. The approach adopted can be in the ambit of which type of research?
AFundamental research
BApplied research
CAction research ✓ Correct
DEvaluative research
Correct answer: (C) Action research
Explanation
A practitioner improving learning through interventions in the classroom is doing action research.
Action research is carried out by practitioners to solve an immediate local problem in their own setting.
Fundamental research seeks general theory and knowledge, not the fix of one classroom.
Applied research applies known principles to practical problems but is not led by the practitioner reflecting on own practice.
Evaluative research judges the worth of a programme, rather than continuously improving practice through cycles.
Action research proceeds in cycles of plan, act, observe and reflect.
