Resumen	Qualitative-dominant case-focused mixed methods design embeds quantitative evidence inside a primarily qualitative case study framework. The case — a bounded unit such as a school, organization, or community — is examined in depth through qualitative means, while quantitative data serve a secondary, supplementary role. Priority is firmly with the qualitative strand, which drives interpretation and findings.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
