Deep Learning From Home: Technology as a Bridge to Family Innovation in Parenting in the Digital Age

Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the dynamics of parenting within families, requiring parents to take on new roles as facilitators of their children's learning at home. This study aims to determine the extent to which families utilize technology in household activities, identify forms of digital parenting innovation, and analyze families' readiness to face technological changes. The theoretical concepts used include deep learning, digital parenting, family innovation, and digital literacy. The research approach employed is qualitative with a descriptive method, focusing on the concept of deep learning, and centering on the experiences of adults, particularly parents actively accompanying their children in digital learning at home.

The research findings indicate that parental involvement is not only technical but also reflective and educational, reflecting deep learning practices within families. Technology is used to build communication, access educational content, and reinforce parenting values. Family innovation manifests in the form of active mediation, implementing device-free zone policies, and using parenting apps. Family readiness is reflected in digital literacy awareness and participation in training and learning communities.

This research contributes to the development of adult education and community-based education. The recommendations provided are the need for schools, educational institutions, and community organizations to strengthen support through digital parenting training, educational forums, and needs-based mentoring. These collaborative efforts are important for building an inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable digital parenting ecosystem.
