Sažetak	A pilot control group experimental design is a small-scale, preliminary experiment that includes both a treatment group and a control group, conducted before the main study to test whether the full trial is feasible. It produces early effect-size estimates, identifies protocol problems, and confirms that random (or systematic) assignment to conditions is workable — all while generating a genuine comparison between treated and untreated participants.	Control group experimental design is a fundamental experimental structure in which participants are assigned to at least two groups — a treatment group that receives the intervention and a control group that does not — so that the effect of the intervention can be isolated by comparing outcomes across groups. Randomisation of assignment strengthens causal inference by balancing known and unknown confounders.
