Sintesi	An evaluation-oriented quantitative-priority mixed methods design applies mixed methods inquiry within an evaluation context, where the primary purpose is judging a program, policy, or intervention. Quantitative data carry the greater evidential weight — measuring outcomes, effectiveness, and reach — while qualitative data serve as a secondary, explanatory strand that contextualizes and deepens interpretation of the quantitative findings.	Pragmatic mixed methods design is a research approach that selects and combines quantitative and qualitative methods based on what best answers the research question, rather than adhering to a single philosophical paradigm. Rooted in the philosophical tradition of pragmatism — associated with William James, John Dewey, and later Richard Rorty — it treats methodological fit and practical utility as the primary criteria for design decisions. The approach is endorsed by leading mixed methods scholars including Creswell and Plano Clark as the most common philosophical worldview underpinning mixed methods work.
