This process involved providing the students with a clear and age-appropriate explanation of the study\u2019s aims, procedures, and their rights as participants, including the right to withdraw at any time without any adverse consequences. The dual approach of obtaining both informed consent from teachers and assent from the students ensured that the research was conducted with respect for the autonomy and well-being of the young participants, consistent with ethical standards in educational research.
