BETWEEN SCREENS AND SUPERVISION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF PARENTAL AND TEACHER ROLES IN MANAGING TECHNOLOGY USE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Abstract
The application of digital technology in early childhood poses challenges in balancing educational benefits and potential risks. This study aims to systematically review the role of parents and teachers in guiding the use of technology by children aged 0–6 years. Using the PRISMA guidelines, 22 empirical studies and literature reviews from 2017–2025 were analysed through a thematic approach. Three main themes were identified: (1) analysing parental mediation strategies; (2) identifying the forms and effectiveness of collaboration between parents and teachers; (3) examining gadget management and screentime; (4) exploring the relationship between mediation strategies, parent collaboration and screentime regulation. The review highlights the importance of aligned collaboration between teachers and parents to foster healthy digital habits from an early age. This study recommends the development of integrated policies, professional training for teachers, and digital education for parents as strategic steps toward building a supportive technological environment for children.
