Σύνοψη	A pragmatic full factorial experiment combines the complete crossing of all factor levels (the full factorial structure) with the broad eligibility criteria, flexible delivery, and real-world conditions of a pragmatic trial. Every possible combination of factors is tested simultaneously, yielding both main effects and all interaction effects, while deliberately relaxing strict laboratory controls to reflect how interventions actually operate in practice.	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.
