The "strawberries", as the architects, Wilkinson Eyre, have nicknamed the classroom clusters, have a workplace at one end, positioned so that a member of staff can keep pupils "safe but not guarded".
During the Tuesday press conference, students in the classroom clustered here and there, many on computers, and others in smaller groups with instructors or student teachers.
While confidence intervals were (expectedly) slightly larger when adjusting for a classroom clustering effect, the odds ratios in Table 2 Table 3 and Table 4 were virtually identical in analyses done without classroom clustering adjustment.
Generalised estimating equations with a logit link were used to evaluate the association between the ad and reports of tobacco- or sports-related messages, accounting for classroom clustering.
With an estimated sample of 415 young people, inflated by 30% to account for potential classroom clustering effects, and assuming 50% study eligibility on the basis of visual acuity ≤6/12, we estimated we needed to include at least 1080 participants.
However, computerized programming has facilitated robust statistical analyses that adjust for the clustering effect by computationally adjusting the sampling error for lower variability within clusters compared to the overall variability, similar to how software adjusts for school and classroom clusters used within the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (YRBS) sampling and analysis.
There were 989 intact classrooms (clusters) with an average of 39 students per class.
Random effects included classrooms clustered within early learning facilities.
Or we could use fabric to divide the classroom into clusters, as in LAVA's Classroom of the Future open module design – a project that would perfectly lend itself to the School of One's philosophy of modalities.
Six interlinking classrooms are clustered around a learning plaza, a large space used for drama, assemblies and lunchtime socialising.
