| description | This study aims to investigate children’s usage among digital media during distance education because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study approach was used and the convenience sampling method is used. 270 parents who have children between 0-6 years old and did not send their children to preschools or day-care centers after the Covid-19 Pandemic. Results show that children mostly access televisions easily and they generally devote two hours a day to digital media. Parents said that they control their children for a while during their using digital media. However, some children could not reach some tools about distance education recommended by the Ministry of Education. Parents say that both they and their children need more support from their teachers like more educational activities, written resources, and some guidance for handling the current situation. To conclude, it was determined that parents need information about using digital media correctly and more support for distance education. In addition, all children should have the same opportunities to join education activities so that teachers, school administrators, and policy-makers should increase their supports to parents. |
