Zhrnutie	Mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching conclusion drawn at the end of a mixed methods study by systematically combining and integrating the separate inferences produced by the quantitative and qualitative strands. It represents the highest-level interpretive act in mixed methods research: moving beyond strand-specific findings to produce a unified, coherent understanding of the research problem that neither strand could yield alone.	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.
