خلاصه	Multiple-case design-based research (MCDBR) is an interventionist methodology drawn from the learning sciences and education research. It extends single-site design-based research by implementing and iteratively refining an educational intervention across two or more distinct sites, contexts, or participant groups simultaneously or sequentially. The cross-case structure strengthens theoretical transferability and exposes context-dependent variations that a single site could never reveal.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
