Design-Based Concurrent Embedded Mixed Methods Design

Design-based concurrent embedded mixed methods design merges the iterative intervention logic of Design-Based Research (DBR) with the concurrent embedded mixed methods structure, in which one data type (typically qualitative) is nested within a dominant dataset (typically quantitative) and both are collected simultaneously within each design cycle. This approach is especially suited to educational intervention and applied research contexts where a product, curriculum, or tool is being developed, tested, and refined through repeated cycles of implementation and analysis.
