Description Adds a short, structured “practical research workflow” section to the Research and learning page, giving learners a clear step-by-step approach for investigating unfamiliar problems. Motivation New learners often struggle with how to research effectively, even when good resources exist. This change makes the research process explicit and actionable, helping readers reduce frustration and build independent problem-solving skills. Additional details The workflow aligns with existing MDN learning guidance and does not duplicate content elsewhere in the Learn Web Development section. |

@lavanitha This doesn't really improve the article, and looks like AI-generated content to me, therefore I'm closing this PR.

This is a list of the learning outcomes of the chapter; it doesn't need a definition of what the concept is; that comes later. The edit is also written in a style that doesn't match the other bullets, leading me to believe this is AI generated.

| To facilitate this and become more self-sufficient, you should learn effective strategies for finding answers — as discussed in the sections below — and when to use which strategy. For example, look up information online first, and only ask your mentor, classmates, or senior dev for help when you are truly stuck. | ||

This conflates research and debugging, doesn't fit in the place it is placed, repeats some of the stuff covered in later sections, and doesn't use the same style as other lists in the article. More AI content, I think.
