    Formal research requires extensive training and produces generalizable knowledge by extensively reviewing previous research and using primary sources with random sampling and pre-tested measures, emphasizing theoretical significance. In contrast, action research requires less training and focuses on applying knowledge to local situations by working with clients, using convenient measures, and emphasizing practical significance.
