Summary
Digital inclusion (DI) addresses disparities in education technology access and use for parents. Teachers observed that both digital access and participation are crucial for supporting student home learning.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Sociology
- Information Science
Background:
- Schools increasingly adopt education technology, creating digital access and participation divides for parents.
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical role of parents in supporting home-based learning.
- Digital inclusion (DI) is essential for educational equity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate K-12 teacher perceptions of parents' digital inclusion needs during the pandemic.
- To examine how teachers view parents' knowledge and use of online tools for supporting student learning at home.
Main Methods:
- A qualitative study using open-ended survey questions administered to K-12 teachers in the United States.
- Analysis of teacher observations on student learning, parent involvement, and digital inclusion needs.
- Application of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs framework to categorize digital inclusion components.
Main Results:
- Teachers identified both digital access and digital participation as significant needs for parents supporting home learning.
- Parental digital literacy, technical support, and access to relevant online tools were highlighted as key components of digital inclusion.
- Digital access alone is insufficient for equitable online education.
Conclusions:
- Digital inclusion initiatives must holistically address parents' needs beyond mere internet access.
- Educational leaders should consider digital literacy training and technical support for caretakers.
- Ensuring equitable online learning requires comprehensive support for parental engagement with education technology.

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
