Підсумок	The qualitative-dominant explanatory sequential mixed methods design follows a two-phase sequential structure — quantitative data collected first, qualitative data collected second — while assigning dominant analytical weight to the qualitative strand. The quantitative phase surfaces statistical patterns that require deeper explanation; the qualitative phase, which carries greater interpretive authority in this variant, provides the rich contextual understanding that the numbers alone cannot supply.	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.
