Összefoglaló	Evaluation-oriented mixed methods meta-inference is a rigorous concluding process in program evaluation research in which the researcher integrates inferences drawn from both quantitative and qualitative strands of a mixed methods study into a single, coherent, higher-order conclusion. This meta-inference is explicitly anchored to evaluation questions — such as program worth, merit, or impact — and is judged by dual quality criteria: inferential consistency and interpretive consistency across strands.	Mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching conclusion drawn at the end of a mixed methods study by systematically combining and integrating the separate inferences produced by the quantitative and qualitative strands. It represents the highest-level interpretive act in mixed methods research: moving beyond strand-specific findings to produce a unified, coherent understanding of the research problem that neither strand could yield alone.
