Question

Could you please summarize this paragraph? Researchers generate new ideas and knowledge. There are various types of research methodology: the types most familiar to us from reading research journals come under the umbrella of basic research. Basic research differs from action research in that it does not necessarily have any immediate application. The aim of basic research is to amass knowledge and better understand some phenomenon. For example: a research study to increase understanding of the pathophysiology of a particular disease is basic research. Action research differs from basic research in that it is a form of applied research: its purpose is to solve problems and improve practice. It is reflective, dynamic and responsive; so, if an action is not successful, we try another until we find one which works. Action research is conducted by the practitioner, and it is participatory: instead of having subjects on whom we conduct research, we have participants in our research; the researcher also participates through their actions.
