Резюме	A pragmatic factorial experiment combines two powerful methodological frameworks: the factorial experimental design — which tests multiple intervention components simultaneously — and the pragmatic trial orientation, which prioritizes real-world applicability, broad eligibility criteria, and flexible delivery conditions. The result is a design that efficiently evaluates which components of a complex intervention work, and whether they interact, while maintaining ecological validity for health, behavioral, and educational research.	A cluster randomized trial (CRT) randomizes intact groups—schools, clinics, villages, or hospital wards—rather than individuals. Developed by Campbell, Grimshaw, and colleagues in the late 1990s to address real-world settings where intervention delivery or contamination occurs at the group level, CRTs are now standard for evaluating population-level, community-based, and policy interventions.
