Using Stepped Wedge in Educational Research: Methodological Considerations, Oana ONCIU, Flavia PRISACARU
Abstract The stepped-wedge clustered randomized design (SW-CRT) is an increasingly recognized research design, as it is particularly valuable when ethical or logistical constraints preclude conventional randomization. However, due to several limitations, it is underutilized in educational research. The study involved 80 children (ages 5 and 9), balanced by gender, distributed across 12 educational clusters. Data […]
