الملخص	The embedded explanatory sequential mixed methods design combines two structural logics: the explanatory sequential framework (a dominant quantitative phase followed by a qualitative follow-up) and the embedded design principle (one method nested within the other to serve a supporting role). Quantitative data are collected and analyzed first to identify patterns or outcomes; qualitative data are then gathered — embedded within or alongside the QUAN phase — to explain, interpret, or contextualize those findings. The result is a study in which numerical results drive the inquiry and qualitative voices provide the explanatory depth.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
