Σύνοψη	Equal-weight multilevel mixed methods is a mixed methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected at two or more distinct levels of a social system — such as students, classrooms, and schools — and both strands carry equal analytic priority. The QUAN+QUAL notation (where '+' signals equal weight) is applied across each level, and integration occurs both within and between levels to build a comprehensive, multi-perspectival understanding.	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.
