Online Activities, E-Learning and Parental Role in Primary School Students During Covid-19

Summary/Abstract: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected almost every aspect of life including‎ accelerated and unplanned digitalization, with particular emphasis on changes in school education ‎provision and the introduction of distance learning.‎ During December 2020, when educational activities were carried out in an online environment for most‎ children, a follow-up survey was conducted using a survey questionnaire. The purpose of this paper is ‎to present the research results on the Internet use habits, children’s Internet safety as well as children’s‎ perception of the parental role among seventh and eighth grade elementary schoolchildren (N = 210), at‎ average age of 13.5 years, to determine if there are changes in the abovementioned variables according to ‎gender, and to compare these results with the first wave research conducted in 2017 (N = 286, average age ‎13.76). The research results indicate that students during the pandemic spent more time on the Internet ‎than before the pandemic (87%). 59% of schoolchildren believed that their parents possessed poorer ‎Internet skills than children themselves, and most students reported how their parents informed them ‎on the potential risks of Internet use. The research found that the pandemic increased the perception of‎ parental involvement through talking about using the Internet, parents’ informing the children about ‎risks, and spending time together using the Internet.‎
