Muhtasari	The Pilot Solomon Four-Group Design is a small-scale, preliminary implementation of the Solomon four-group experimental design. Its purpose is to test the feasibility and logistics of the full design before committing to a resource-intensive main study. The Solomon four-group design, introduced by Richard L. Solomon in 1949, controls for pretest sensitisation by using four groups — two that receive a pretest and two that do not — crossed with treatment and control conditions. Piloting this design allows researchers to estimate effect sizes, detect procedural problems, and verify that the pretest does not unduly influence posttest scores.	A full factorial design is a parametric experimental method in which every combination of factor levels is tested simultaneously, enabling the estimation of all main effects and all interaction effects in a single study. Rooted in R. A. Fisher's foundational work on designed experiments (1926) and systematically developed by Box, Hunter, and Hunter (2005) and Montgomery (2017), the 2^k form tests k two-level factors across 2^k experimental runs and is the benchmark against which all other factorial designs are measured.
