description | This research aims to understand the use of ICT, in this context refers to internet, gadget, including apps and websites by digital moms to support early childhood learning. This is an explorative qualitative research. Four pairs of mother and child become the research subjects. The data shows that digital moms as active users of ICT, including internet, have also introduced and used the technology to support the learning activities of their children, even though not as the main and only medium. The early childhood skills include early mathematic skill, early literacy skill, socio-emotional development, and executive function. The result shows that those all four skills can be supported by the use of ICT (internet, gadget, websites, and apps). All children in this research access YouTube as entertainment source and also learning, and one of the children accesses game to learn math. |
