Sammendrag	Qualitative-dominant multilevel mixed methods design addresses research questions nested across two or more social levels — such as individuals within classrooms within schools — while assigning primary inferential weight to the qualitative strand. Quantitative data collected at one or more levels serve a supporting role: they contextualize, corroborate, or sharpen qualitative findings rather than generate the principal conclusions. The design is especially productive when understanding processes and meanings at multiple organizational layers is more important than population-level statistical estimates.	Qualitative-priority mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which qualitative inquiry carries the greater weight — in terms of volume, analytical depth, and interpretive authority — while a supplementary quantitative strand provides supporting evidence. The design acknowledges that the phenomenon under study is best understood through meaning-making, lived experience, or social processes, with numbers used to corroborate or contextualize, not to dominate, the research story.
