“…Long hours of online classes were found to be detrimental to children’s health and well-being (including mental health), social life, and learning outcomes (Cao et al 2020 ; Kumar et al 2021 ). Reports from different parts of the country also highlight other issues related to long hours of online classes faced by students, teachers, and parents.…”

The pandemic and the long closure of educational institutions have changed the learning and teaching practices across the globe. A massive and unplanned shift towards online education with unequal access to digital infrastructure deepens the existing digital divide and socio-economic inequalities. Tamil Nadu Covid Pulse Survey shows the state’s commitment to strengthening evidence-based policymaking and continuing its welfare tradition including its efforts to provide uninterrupted education during the crisis. Based on the three recent rounds of the panel survey conducted in October 2020 and August 2021, this article discusses Tamil Nadu’s experience in continuing education during the pandemic. The result highlights the existing digital divide and challenges faced by students in accessing online education. Some of the government initiatives like Kalvi TV telecasting classes for school students have been effective in addressing the digital divide between rural and urban areas in the state and making its education system more inclusive.

“…Bu gelişmelere paralel olarak tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgını ve beraberinde gelen sosyal izolasyon kısıtlamaları da bireylerin teknoloji kullanımında önemli değişikliklere sebep olmuştur. Ebeveynler teknolojik araçlar aracılığıyla işlerini ev ortamından sürdürürken, çocuklar ve gençler ise eğitim, iletişim ve eğlence amacıyla daha fazla dijital ortama yönelmişlerdir (Kumar, Ramphul, Mejias, Lohana, Verma, Ramphul ve Sonaye, 2021). Dolayıısyla bu durum bireylerin televizyon, akıllı telefon, tablet veya bilgisayar gibi elektronik/dijital ortamları kullanarak geçirdiği süre olarak tanımlanan ekran süresini hızla arttırmıştır (Barber, Kelly, Collings, Nagy, Bywaterve Wright, 2017;Zhao vd., 2020) .…”

Bu araştırmada, pandemi sürecinde Türkiye’deki ebeveynlerin dijital ebeveynlik deneyimleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya 81 ilden, 3-6 yaş arası çocuğu olan 1346 ebeveyn katılmıştır. Veriler Dijital Ebeveynlik Anketi ve Dijital Oyun Ebeveyn Rehberlik Stratejileri Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler yüzde, frekans ve faktöriyel varyans analizi (ANOVA) ile çözümlenmiştir. Bulgulara göre, ebeveynler çocuklarıyla dijital vatandaşlık hakkında konuşmakta ve dijital medyayı kullanmada doğru örnek olmaya dikkat etmektedirler. Çocuğunun ziyaret ettiği web site ve uygulamalarını takip ederek, filtreleme sağlayan ücretli ve ücretsiz yazılımlar kullanarak online risklere önlem almaktadırlar. Bir diğer bulguda, ebeveynlerin en sık kullandıkları bilgi edinme kaynakları, güvenlik bilgilerinin bulunduğu web siteleri, sosyal medya araçları, aile ve arkadaşları, çocuğunun okulu ve bilimsel kaynaklar şeklinde sıralanmıştır. Ebeveynlerin çoğu zaman aktif ebeveynlik stratejisini kullandığı, bazen teknik ebeveynliği, nadiren de dijitale yönlendiren ve serbest ebeveynlik stratejilerini tercih ettiği görülmektedir. Ayrıca çalışmada, 3-6 yaş grubu çocukların günlük toplam ekran kullanım süreleri ortalama 235 dk olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dijital ebeveynlik puanlarının eğitim düzeyi ve yaşanılan yere göre anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı saptanmıştır.

“…In particular, we focused on those related to the possible changes in sleep quality, use of digital devices, mood and attention worsening. However, it is still unknown if such changes observed among children during the first lockdown tend to persist or modify [ 17 ]. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether such changes were still present among children one year after the lockdown in 2020.…”

Lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant psychological impact on children and adolescents. This study compared lockdown effects on children aged 1–10 years in 2020 and 2021. Two structured questionnaires were administered to 3392 parents in 2020, and 3203 in 2021. Outcomes considered for the data analysis included sleep changes, episodes of irritability, attention disturbances, distance learning and number of siblings. For data analysis, children were divided into two groups: pre-scholar (1–5 years old) and older ones. The lockdown was associated with a significant increase in sleep disturbances in 2020 and persisted after a year. The high prevalence of mood changes persisted unchanged in children under the age of 10 in 2020 and in 2021. Even if strengthened family ties seemed to mitigate the negative impact of lockdowns in 2020, this effect appeared absent or at least reduced in 2021. Irritability and rage in children were perceived to have increased in 2021 compared to 2020. A significant reduction in digital device use was observed in 2021 compared to 2020. Overall, the most harmful consequences of the lockdown in 2020 were still observed in 2021. Further studies are needed to analyze possible psychological effects that the generation who experienced the pandemic during early childhood may have, particularly in their future adolescence, in order to identify possible intervention practices to support families.
