Резюме	Quantitative-priority mixed methods design is a research approach in which quantitative data and analysis carry the primary explanatory weight, while qualitative data play a supplementary or corroborating role. The researcher collects and analyzes quantitative data first (or concurrently with greater emphasis), then uses qualitative findings to elaborate, explain, or contextualize the statistical results. Priority and sequence together define where integration occurs and how each strand informs the other.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
