Резюме	The concurrent mixed methods matrix is a mixed methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected simultaneously and organized within a structured matrix framework. The matrix maps design dimensions — such as research questions, data sources, priority, and integration points — across rows and columns, making the logical architecture of the study explicit and auditable. Both strands are analyzed independently before being merged through a matrix-guided integration step.	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.
