Özet:

 The digital age has transformed parenting practices and expanded the roles of parents. In todays world, parents are expected not only to protect their children from the risks associated with digital devices but also to guide them in assessing the opportunities offered by the digital landscape. This study explores how contemporary parents fulfill their digital parenting roles, the challenges they face in this process, and the opportunities they leverage. In alignment with the studys purpose, interviews were conducted with a total of 30 parents. Of the parents in the study sample, 15 have children of primary school age, while the remaining 15 have children of high school age. The parents consented to participate in the study through semi-structured online interviews. The participants were asked to answer the questions in the interview form with a demographic information form. The studys findings were analyzed and evaluated across five themes within the framework of digital parenting roles. The descriptive analysis of the findings revealed that digital parents play a crucial role in helping children become conscientious media consumers. It was also found that the digital awareness levels differed between the two parent groups, leading to variations in their digital parenting roles.

 Dijital çağ, ebeveynlik pratiklerini dönüştürmüş ve ebeveynlerin rollerini genişletmiştir. Bugün ebeveynlerden, çocuklarını dijital araçların risklerinden korumanın yanı sıra, dijital dünyanın sunduğu fırsatları değerlendirme konusunda da onlara rehberlik etmeleri beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma, mevcut ebeveynlerin dijital ebeveynlik rollerini nasıl yerine getirdiklerini, bu süreçte hangi zorluklarla karşılaştıklarını veya hangi fırsatları değerlendirdiklerini araştırmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda 30 ebeveyn ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturan ebeveynlerden 15i ilkokul çağındaki çocuklara ve 15i lise çağındaki çocuklara sahiptir. Bu ebeveynler, yarı yapılandırılmış çevrim içi görüşme yöntemi ile çalışmaya katılmayı kabul etmiştir. Katılımcılardan, demografik bilgi formu ile görüşme formundaki soruları yanıtlamaları istenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular dijital ebeveynlik rolleri çerçevesinde beş farklı temada incelenmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Bulguların betimsel analizi sonucunda, çocukların bilinçli medya tüketicisi olmalarında dijital ebeveynlerin önemli bir rol oynadığı görülmüştür. Her iki ebeveyn grubunun dijital farkındalık düzeyinin farklı olduğu ve dijital ebeveynlik rollerinin bu faktörlere bağlı olarak değişkenlik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir.
