תקציר	The evaluation-oriented mixed methods matrix is a structured planning and display tool applied within program evaluation contexts. It maps evaluation questions against data sources, timing, and method types — quantitative and qualitative — in a grid format, making the integration logic explicit and auditable. Rooted in Greene's value-engaged mixed methods tradition and Teddlie and Tashakkori's matrix framework, it serves evaluators who must justify methodological choices to stakeholders while addressing multiple evaluation purposes simultaneously.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
