Резюме	The sequential exploratory mixed methods design begins with a qualitative phase to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, then builds on those findings in a second quantitative phase — most commonly to develop and test a measurement instrument, or to test whether themes identified qualitatively generalise across a broader population. The two phases are conducted in sequence, with qualitative results explicitly informing the design and content of the quantitative strand.	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.
