Muhtasari	Quantitative-dominant multilevel mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which quantitative inquiry carries the primary evidential weight while qualitative data play an auxiliary, illuminating role, and both strands are applied across two or more hierarchically nested levels of analysis — for example, students within classrooms within schools. The design is suited to research questions that require both statistical modeling of nested structures and contextual understanding of how those structures operate.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
