Σύνοψη	A mixed methods design in which quantitative data and analysis carry the primary explanatory weight while a smaller qualitative component provides contextual depth. Grounded in philosophical pragmatism, design decisions — including timing, sequencing, and the scope of each strand — are driven by what best answers the research question rather than by adherence to a single paradigmatic tradition.	Multilevel mixed methods design is a research approach that collects and integrates both quantitative and qualitative data at two or more distinct levels of a social or organizational hierarchy — for example, individuals nested within classrooms, classrooms within schools, or patients within healthcare teams. By pairing quantitative measurement of outcomes at one level with qualitative exploration of meaning at another, researchers gain a richer, more complete picture than either strand alone could provide.
