Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
The findings are based on a randomised controlled trial, with individual random allocation to groups to the summer school or a control group who did not receive the intervention. The study was designed to involve 1,000 pupils. However, the problems with attracting pupils and keeping them in the project meant that the results are substantially weakened. The actual population of pupils who fitted the criteria set out for the programme caused an issue. After this group had been exhausted recruitment took place across a wider range of schools. Ultimately, 435 pupils signed up to the trial, which decreased the power of the study, while the high levels of dropout increased the risk that the findings are biased, as the pupils who attended the summer school may have been systematically different from those who did not. As a result, the findings cannot be taken as definitive.
