Journal Article
Sayari, M., Singh, A., Uwimpuhwe, G., Akhter, N., Coolen-Maturi, T., Gupta, R., & Einbeck, J. (2025). Educational platform trials simulator (EPTS): Software for planning and simulating cluster-randomised, multisite and simple randomised platform trials. SoftwareX, 31, Article 102214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2025.102214

Platform trials offer a robust framework for evaluating multiple interventions simultaneously against a common control group within a single master protocol. Acknowledging their increased importance in the medical and social sciences, including educa...

The effectiveness of educational interventions has traditionally been evaluated using effect size measures which focus on a single feature of the distribution of the outcomes under intervention and control conditions: a (standardized) mean difference...

Effect sizes for educational interventions are commonly small, and hence decisions to re-grant efficacy trials (small trials with homogeneous populations under idealized conditions) as effectiveness trials (larger trials with heterogeneous population...

The aim of this study was to investigate and empirically derive parameters commonly used for statistical power and sample size calculations to better inform future trial design. Towards achieving this aim, the research project leveraged the richness... Read More about Improving power calculations in educational trials.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Uwimpuhwe, G., Singh, A., Akhter, N., Ashraf, B., Coolen-Maturi, T., Robinson, T., Higgins, S., & Einbeck, J. (2023, July). Individual participant data meta-analysis: pooled effect of EEF funded educational trials on low baseline attaining group. Presented at International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, Dortmund

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), a charity aiming to break the link between socioeconomic disadvantage and pupil attainment, has commissioned over 200 randomised controlled trials. The collection of data from these trials, the `EEF Data Arch...

Meta-analysis is the synthesis of findings from research projects, which enables an estimate of the average or pooled effect across various studies. This study presents findings from the intention to treat analysis for a series of educational evaluat...

Multisite educational trials: estimating the effect size and its confidence intervals (2021)
Journal Article

In education, multisite trials involve randomisation of pupils into intervention and comparison groups within schools. Most analytical models in multisite educational trials ignore that the impact of an intervention may be school dependent. This stud...
