Sintesi	Qualitative-dominant transformative mixed methods is a mixed methods research design in which qualitative data carry the primary evidential weight while quantitative data serve a supplementary role, and the entire inquiry is governed by a transformative theoretical framework — one committed to social justice, equity, and the amplification of marginalized voices. The design produces rich contextual understanding alongside statistical corroboration to advance emancipatory or advocacy-oriented goals.	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.
