요약	The embedded explanatory sequential mixed methods design combines two structural logics: the explanatory sequential framework (a dominant quantitative phase followed by a qualitative follow-up) and the embedded design principle (one method nested within the other to serve a supporting role). Quantitative data are collected and analyzed first to identify patterns or outcomes; qualitative data are then gathered — embedded within or alongside the QUAN phase — to explain, interpret, or contextualize those findings. The result is a study in which numerical results drive the inquiry and qualitative voices provide the explanatory depth.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
