תקציר	Concurrent exploratory sequential mixed methods design is an advanced mixed methods configuration that combines two timing structures: a concurrent (simultaneous) data-collection phase alongside an exploratory sequential strand, in which early qualitative findings inform the development or refinement of a quantitative component. This hybrid is used when a study needs both real-time integration of qualitative and quantitative data and an instrument-building or theory-testing phase driven by initial qualitative exploration.	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.
