Action Research Vs Case Study Comparative Chart

This document compares action research and case study research. Both are qualitative research methods that use inductive reasoning and interpretation. The key differences are that action research aims to solve problems through a collaborative process and cycle of planning, acting, observing and reflecting, while case studies focus on in-depth analysis of a specific phenomenon or scenario over a period of time without researcher participation. Action research seeks immediate results, while case studies take a longitudinal approach to data collection.
