خلاصه	Evaluation-focused case-focused mixed methods integrates an explicit program evaluation framework with in-depth case study inquiry, combining qualitative and quantitative data within a bounded unit — a program, site, or organization — to render both descriptive understanding and evaluative judgments about merit, worth, or significance. The design serves applied evaluation contexts where holistic case understanding is needed alongside evidence-based performance conclusions.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
