خلاصه	Equal-weight pragmatic mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative strands are assigned the same methodological priority (QUAL = QUAN) and conducted from a pragmatist philosophical stance. Rather than privileging one paradigm, the researcher selects and combines methods that best answer the research question — treating practical utility as the primary criterion for all design decisions.	Pragmatic mixed methods design is a research approach that selects and combines quantitative and qualitative methods based on what best answers the research question, rather than adhering to a single philosophical paradigm. Rooted in the philosophical tradition of pragmatism — associated with William James, John Dewey, and later Richard Rorty — it treats methodological fit and practical utility as the primary criteria for design decisions. The approach is endorsed by leading mixed methods scholars including Creswell and Plano Clark as the most common philosophical worldview underpinning mixed methods work.
