Rezumat	Concurrent case-focused mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected simultaneously — rather than in sequence — and both strands are anchored within one or more bounded cases (e.g., a school, a program, a community, or an organisation). The two data strands are analyzed separately, then merged or compared to produce a fuller, case-grounded understanding than either strand could yield alone.	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.
