摘要	Concurrent case-focused mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected simultaneously — rather than in sequence — and both strands are anchored within one or more bounded cases (e.g., a school, a program, a community, or an organisation). The two data strands are analyzed separately, then merged or compared to produce a fuller, case-grounded understanding than either strand could yield alone.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
