“…7 It is also possible that parents who use digital media more frequently may be more open to children's media use and impose fewer restrictions. 13 Mealtime & bedroom screen use Family mealtime screen use and child bedroom screen use were both positively associated with adolescent total screen time and problematic use of social media, video game, and mobile phone, which is in accordance with prior evidence. 6,10,11,15,38 The American Academy of Pediatrics advocates for a Family Media Use Plan which notes that parents may consider instituting screen-free times such as during mealtime and bedtime.…”

“…These findings were consistent with various prior studies, which have suggested that greater parental screen time use is associated with greater screen time in younger children 17,18,20,37 and more frequent co-use of screens with children. 13 These associations could potentially be explained in the context of social learning theory, which states that individuals learn from observing and modeling other's behavior. Children may mirror parental behavior and could thus model their parents' screen use behaviors.…”

“…One potential explanation is that early adolescents are at a stage of seeking independence away from their parents/caregivers and may view certain media parenting practices as intrusive, leading them to reject rules. 13,17,23,25,42 With the increasing accessibility, availability, and familiarity of digital media platforms, early adolescents may increasingly depend on these modalities for social support and identity exploration. 43 Parenting style may be of consideration in this context.…”

“…10 It remains unclear whether or not media parenting practices have significant effects on children's screen time and screen use behaviors as previous studies have had small sample sizes or mixed findings. [10][11][12][13] Of the existing literature on media parenting practices, a majority have been studied in infants 14 and younger children 6,8,10,[15][16][17][18][19][20] with fewer studies focusing exclusively on early adolescents, which have revealed that parental regulation or rules of screen use have been associated with less adolescent screen time, or decreased likelihood of exceeding recommended screen time limits. 12,21,22 However, some existing evidence points to weaker associations between media parenting practices and screen time for those in middle childhood and adolescence compared to those in early childhood.…”

Background To assess the prevalence of various media parenting practices and identify their associations with early adolescent screen time and problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Methods Cross-sectional data from Year 3 of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (2019–2022) that included 10,048 adolescents (12–13 years, 48.3% female, 45.6% racial/ethnic minorities) in the US were analyzed using multiple linear regression analyses adjusting for potential confounders. Results Parent screen use, family mealtime screen use, and bedroom screen use were associated with greater adolescent screen time and problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Parental use of screens to control behavior (e.g., as a reward or punishment) was associated with higher screen time and greater problematic video game use. Parental monitoring of screens was associated with lower screen time and less problematic social media and mobile phone use. Parental limit setting of screens was associated with lower screen time and less problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Discussion Parent screen use, mealtime screen use, and bedroom screen use were associated with higher adolescent problematic screen use and could be limited in a family media use plan. Parental monitoring and limiting of screen time are associated with less problematic screen use. Impact statement Although the American Academy of Pediatrics provides guidance for screen use for children 5–18 years, there is a paucity of evidence-based guidance for media parenting practices, specifically for early adolescents. In a diverse sample of 10,048 early adolescents across the US, we found cross-sectional associations between parent, mealtime, and bedroom screen use and higher adolescent problematic screen use. Parental monitoring and limiting of adolescent screen time were cross-sectionally associated with less problematic screen use in our analytic sample and may be incorporated into a family media use plan.

“…Furthermore, the parental mediation theory for the digital age and the regulating techniques used by parents of young people can shed light on the constraints and intricacies of electronic media processes (Poulain et al, 2023;Clark, 2011). Furthermore, a meta-analysis of how electronic devices affect students' academic performance and interpersonal connections as well as parental mediation can provide insightful information about the limitations of electronic media processes (Chen & Shi, 2018;Alkandari & Al-Alawneh, 2019).…”

This study aims to describe the benefits of digital learning media as an alternative solution for student learning, as well as illustrate the urgency of using digital learning media and the willingness of teachers to use learning media. This research is a qualitative study with a literature review method. The results of this study show (1) how the learning process uses digital learning media to improve the ability of teachers, meet the needs of students, meet the demands of the new paradigm, improve the quality of learning and meet long-term needs. (2) Focus on learning among students with the use of electronic media such as YouTube, elearning, animated videos and podcasts. (3) the use of electronic media as a place to collect information and materials. (4) Data results in using digital learning media require teachers to have knowledge and skills. Post-pandemic digital learning media is an alternative solution for student learning that is very effective, efficient, and can increase students' interest in learning. Examples of digital learning media are YouTube, e-learning, animated videos, and podcasts that are used to increase the effectiveness of the learning process. The use of appropriate learning media is very useful to increase motivation in learning, therefore teachers play an important role in preparing digital learning media that can create a pleasant learning atmosphere.
