Abstract

Objective: Advancements in technology related to learning media for early childhood require careful attention from both teachers and parents. The use of digital media in the early childhood learning process necessitates supervision and collaboration between schools and parents, implemented through policies regarding oversight and limits on screen time. This study aims to analyze and describe the roles of parents and teachers in supporting children as they engage with digital learning media. A descriptive qualitative methodology was employed, drawing on findings from interviews conducted with school staff and parents. Data triangulation was utilized to analyze the information and derive conclusions. The study finds that supporting young children in their use of digital media requires collaboration among schools, teachers, and parents to ensure that technology is used safely, educationally, and in a manner appropriate to the child's developmental stage. While digital media has the potential to enhance a child's interest in learning and their level of understanding, its benefits depend on the quality of supervision provided and a proper balance between digital activities and social interaction. Novelty: This research focuses on the necessary collaboration and the specific roles of teachers and parents in supervising and limiting the use of digital media, acknowledging that—despite its positive potential for early childhood learning—such oversight is essential. Furthermore, the study highlights the need to support young children through more advanced digital media and digital learning approaches in the future.
