Muhtasari	Qualitative-dominant pragmatic mixed methods is a research design in which a qualitative strand carries the primary weight of the inquiry, while a smaller quantitative component adds breadth or corroboration. Grounded in pragmatism as its philosophical framework, the design treats questions of data type, sequence, and integration as practical choices driven by the research problem rather than by methodological ideology.	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.
