Muhtasari	The evaluation-oriented mixed methods matrix is a structured planning and display tool applied within program evaluation contexts. It maps evaluation questions against data sources, timing, and method types — quantitative and qualitative — in a grid format, making the integration logic explicit and auditable. Rooted in Greene's value-engaged mixed methods tradition and Teddlie and Tashakkori's matrix framework, it serves evaluators who must justify methodological choices to stakeholders while addressing multiple evaluation purposes simultaneously.	The mixed methods matrix is a systematic framework for classifying, planning, and comparing mixed methods research designs along key dimensions such as timing (concurrent vs. sequential), priority (quantitative- vs. qualitative-dominant), and point of integration. It provides researchers with a structured map to make design decisions explicit, communicate choices transparently, and locate a study within the broader mixed methods typology.
