Tóm tắt	The equal-weight transformative mixed methods design combines quantitative and qualitative strands at equal priority (QUAN + QUAL) within an overarching transformative theoretical framework — such as feminist, critical race, disability rights, or social justice theory. Both data types carry equivalent evidential weight, and the entire study is structured to challenge inequity, give voice to marginalized groups, and generate findings oriented toward advocacy and social change.	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.
