Kokkuvõte	Evaluation-oriented mixed methods meta-inference is a rigorous concluding process in program evaluation research in which the researcher integrates inferences drawn from both quantitative and qualitative strands of a mixed methods study into a single, coherent, higher-order conclusion. This meta-inference is explicitly anchored to evaluation questions — such as program worth, merit, or impact — and is judged by dual quality criteria: inferential consistency and interpretive consistency across strands.	Transformative mixed methods design embeds a social-justice or advocacy theoretical framework — such as feminism, critical race theory, disability studies, or indigenous worldviews — as the overarching lens that guides every decision about data collection, integration, and use. Both quantitative and qualitative strands serve the goal of advancing equity, challenging power structures, and producing actionable knowledge for marginalized communities.
