Before conducting a study involving human participants, including middle school students, the researcher must obtain informed consent from the parents or legal guardians of the students. This ensures that the parents are aware of the study and its potential risks and benefits, and can make an informed decision about whether or not their child participates. Permission from the other entities (Apple corporation, informed consent group, technology center) is not necessary for this study.
