Action research is done to find a solution to an immediate problem; it is a cycle of action plan, actual action, observation of the outcome and reflection on it.

Quantitative research involves a systematic investigation or phenomena or testing of objective theories by collecting quantifiable data and examining the relationship among variables with statistical / Mathematical / Computational techniques.

Experimental method is a systematic and scientific approach to research in which the researcher manipulates one or more variables, and controls and measures any change in other variables.

A good literature review has four main aims: 1. To survey the literature in the chosen area of study. 2. To synthesis and summaries the information in it. 3. To critically analyze the information gathered. 4. To reorganize the literature suitably in accordance with the study at hand.

Non - Probability sampling is a sampling techniques which does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected. 1. Judgmental sampling or purposive sampling 2. Quota sampling 3. Dimensional sampling

The term feminism is attributed to political and sociological theories on issues of gender difference, as well as a movement for gender equality and protection of women's rights and interests.

Action research is an individual or collaborative research typically designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the data to improve their own practice in a cyclic process. In schools, action research refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and analytical research methods designed to diagnose problems or weaknesses---whether organizational, academic, or instructional---and help educators develop practical solutions to address them quickly and efficiently. In teaching it helps improve effectiveness of specific instructional strategies, the performance of specific students and classroom management techniques.

Qualitative research collects and works with non-numerical data to study targeted populations or places and seeks to interpret meaning from these data. Qualitative research on other hand, uses data analysis of numerical data with positive assumptions for determining casual and correlative relationships between variables.

Ethnographic research is a qualitative method where researchers observe and/or interact with a study's participants in their real-life environment. Ethnography was popularised by anthropology, but is used across a wide range of social sciences. participant observation, for many years, has been a hallmark of both anthropological and sociological studies.

Action research uses techniques of social and psychological research and is initiated to identity and solve an immediate social problem in a group or community with active group participation of the investigators.

Action research involves self reflective studies undertaken by participants / professionals in social situations in the course of certain practices, typically in the field of education.

Rejection of Null hypothesis after the quantitative data analysis, the substantive research hypothesis should be accepted.

A case study is a research strategy involving an in depth holistic investigation, empirical inquiry or descriptive / exploratory analysis of persons, group, phenomena, decisions, periods, institutions or other system within real life context.cas

Ethnographic research is a type of qualitative research in which researchers observe and/ or interact with the participants in their real life environment, and data is collected from observations, interviews and documents to produce detailed and comprehensive accounts of different social phenomena.

Action research is a methodology of research that seeks transformative change through the process of action, critical reflection.

Probability sampling is a method of sampling, in which the items of the population have an equal opportunity to be selected. Simple Random sampling, Stratified Sampling, Cluster Sampling and systematic sampling.

A hypothesis is should be simple and clear rather than obscure / convoluted/ complex or complicated. It cannot be generic because the research is specific.

Ethnographic research methods is commonly used in anthropological research.
