Zusammenfassung	Quantitative-dominant multilevel mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which quantitative inquiry carries the primary evidential weight while qualitative data play an auxiliary, illuminating role, and both strands are applied across two or more hierarchically nested levels of analysis — for example, students within classrooms within schools. The design is suited to research questions that require both statistical modeling of nested structures and contextual understanding of how those structures operate.	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.
