In plain language

Research is optional. Participate or decline: tutoring stays the same. If you participate, you may skip questions or withdraw; the approved study details are still missing.

Activation is blocked. No real research invitation or instrument may be shown until ethics, licence, translation, privacy, retention, and controller approvals are complete.

Your choice

Participating or declining must not change access to tutoring, grades, teacher support, or any educational benefit. If you participate, the baseline and endline questionnaires are optional: you may save progress, skip for now, omit permitted questions, or withdraw.

Withdrawal

You can use the persistent “Withdraw from research” action. TutorChat then stops reminders and future collection, deletes incomplete and completed questionnaire answers and derived scores from active research records, and retains only a minimal withdrawal/accountability event. The approved protocol must describe and match this behavior, the backup-expiry schedule, and the limits for outputs already made anonymous or aggregate. Survey-service outages must never block tutoring.

Risks, benefits, and data use

[APPROVED PURPOSE, PROCEDURES, RISKS, BENEFITS, DATA SHARING, COMPENSATION, AND WITHDRAWAL CONSEQUENCES REQUIRED]

Age and guardian rule

[APPROVED MINIMUM AGE, GUARDIAN PERMISSION/ASSENT RULE, INSTITUTIONAL ATTESTATION, AND EXCEPTIONS REQUIRED]

Being 14 or older does not by itself settle research participation requirements. The ethics-approved rule and applicable law are authoritative.

Linkage, publication, and future reuse

[EXACT LINKAGE BETWEEN SURVEY AND LEARNING RECORDS, LINKAGE-KEY CUSTODIAN, ACCESS ROLES, PUBLICATION/ANONYMISATION PLAN, DATA SHARING, AND FUTURE REUSE CHOICES REQUIRED]

No publication may identify a participant. Any future reuse beyond the approved protocol requires the stated lawful and ethics basis and any required new permission.

Withdrawal, deletion, and limits

[WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE, ANSWER-SCRUBBING PROCEDURE, LINKAGE DELETION, BACKUP SCHEDULE, ALREADY-ANONYMISED/AGGREGATED DATA LIMITS, AND CONFIRMATION CONTACT REQUIRED]
