Mapping Parental Perceptions of School Digital Maturity: Insights from the PULSE Instrument

Summary/Abstract: This study utilizes the PULSE instrument (Parents’ Understanding of Learning through School E-transformation) to investigate parental perceptions of the digital maturity of Bulgarian schools. The research aims to map the digitalization profile of schools across four domains: the impact of digital technologies on learning, infrastructure, digital practices, and digital literacy and ethics. It also contrasts the digital competences perceived as developed by schools with those prioritized by parents for their children. Findings reveal an inconsistent profile: parents acknowledge the school’s contribution to promoting online safety and critical thinking, yet express reservations about the comprehensive development of digital competences across all subjects and the accessibility of technology for students with special educational needs. The results underscore the necessity for improved communication with parents and more robust strategies to address inequalities and mitigate risks of digital exclusion.
