Σύνοψη	Concurrent exploratory sequential mixed methods design is an advanced mixed methods configuration that combines two timing structures: a concurrent (simultaneous) data-collection phase alongside an exploratory sequential strand, in which early qualitative findings inform the development or refinement of a quantitative component. This hybrid is used when a study needs both real-time integration of qualitative and quantitative data and an instrument-building or theory-testing phase driven by initial qualitative exploration.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
