خلاصه	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 concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
