摘要	The embedded explanatory sequential mixed methods design combines two structural logics: the explanatory sequential framework (a dominant quantitative phase followed by a qualitative follow-up) and the embedded design principle (one method nested within the other to serve a supporting role). Quantitative data are collected and analyzed first to identify patterns or outcomes; qualitative data are then gathered — embedded within or alongside the QUAN phase — to explain, interpret, or contextualize those findings. The result is a study in which numerical results drive the inquiry and qualitative voices provide the explanatory depth.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
