Which of the following is characteristic of action research ?

  • A.Variables are controlled
  • B.Data is qualitative
  • C.Results demonstrate cause and effect relationship
  • D.Results are generalizable

Answer: B

The key's characteristic of action research is that data is qualitative.

Action research is carried out by practitioners, such as teachers or extension workers, to solve a problem in their own setting. It typically relies on qualitative data such as observations, reflective journals, interviews and discussions, gathered in a cycle of plan, act, observe and reflect.

Controlled variables and proof of cause and effect belong to experimental research, and because action research concerns one particular local situation, its results are not meant to be generalised.
