Muhtasari	A quantitative-dominant multiphase mixed methods design conducts a series of distinct research phases — at least two, often three or more — in which quantitative data and analyses bear the primary weight of answering the research questions, while qualitative components serve a supporting or explanatory role. Phases are linked by explicit integration points where findings from one phase inform the design or interpretation of the next.	Multilevel mixed methods design is a research approach that collects and integrates both quantitative and qualitative data at two or more distinct levels of a social or organizational hierarchy — for example, individuals nested within classrooms, classrooms within schools, or patients within healthcare teams. By pairing quantitative measurement of outcomes at one level with qualitative exploration of meaning at another, researchers gain a richer, more complete picture than either strand alone could provide.
