Muhtasari	Embedded pragmatic mixed methods is a mixed methods design in which one data strand (typically qualitative) is nested within a larger, dominant strand (typically quantitative), and the entire study is guided by a pragmatist philosophical stance — selecting methods for what works best to answer the research question rather than adhering to a fixed paradigmatic commitment. The nested strand enriches or contextualises the dominant strand without standing on its own.	Embedded multiphase mixed methods is a research design in which a secondary data strand (qualitative or quantitative) is nested within a primary, dominant strand across two or more sequential study phases. Each phase builds on the prior one, while the embedded strand enhances understanding of specific sub-questions that the dominant strand alone cannot answer. This design is suited to complex, longitudinal, or program-evaluation research problems requiring sustained inquiry across stages.
