Muhtasari	Sequential pragmatic mixed methods is a mixed-methods research design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected and analyzed in a defined sequence — one strand following and building on the other — with the entire design anchored in a pragmatic philosophical worldview. Pragmatism foregrounds research usefulness and problem-solving, treating method choice as a practical decision rather than an ideological commitment, and it provides the integrative logic for combining the two strands into actionable insights.	Pragmatic mixed methods design is a research approach that selects and combines quantitative and qualitative methods based on what best answers the research question, rather than adhering to a single philosophical paradigm. Rooted in the philosophical tradition of pragmatism — associated with William James, John Dewey, and later Richard Rorty — it treats methodological fit and practical utility as the primary criteria for design decisions. The approach is endorsed by leading mixed methods scholars including Creswell and Plano Clark as the most common philosophical worldview underpinning mixed methods work.
