An Action Research on Parent-Child Shared Digital Education Platform for Japanese Working Parents
Synopsis
In recent years many parents begin to adopt the use of digital media, such as mobile learning software, as a substitute to their parenting tasks. However, as this type of parenting and pre-elementary learning in the digital age becomes more pervasive, it’s necessary to rethink the role of digital media in parents’ and children’s life: how to use digital technology to support parenting to accommodate busy modern life style and promote parental involvement in pre-elementary education.
