Title
Randomised Controlled Trial Protocol: Digital personalised learning to improve literacy and numeracy outcomes in Kenyan classrooms
Abstract
This protocol provides a detailed overview of a cluster-randomised controlled trial (RCT) being undertaken in pre-primary schools in Kenya. The RCT seeks to rigorously investigate the impact of a classroom-integrated digital personalised learning (DPL) tool on early grade numeracy and literacy learning outcomes. The protocol is being disseminated prior to endline data analysis to promote transparency and a comprehensive understanding of the RCT approach and design. This protocol was originally published in October 2023. This is an updated version where we have a) clarified that the sample size stated in Sections 2 and 2.2 is the 'pre-attrition' sample; and b) added a paragraph to Section 2.4.1 to provide further clarification regarding the use of code-switching. No changes to the analytical approach have been made.
