Usage of Digital Technology for Parents and Kindergarten Teacher

Digitalne tehnologije mijenjaju komunikaciju roditelja i odgajatelja. Roditeljima se omogućuje uvid u različite aktivnosti putem dijeljenja multimedijskih sadržaja, uspostavljanje video poziva i komunikaciju s većom skupinom ljudi u svrhu donošenja zajedničkih odluka. Upotreba digitalnih tehnologija definirana je i kurikulumom, a ona zahtijeva digitalne kompetencije, od stvaranja do prenošenja sadržaja. Istraživanje u ovom radu provedeno je s utvrđivanja kvalitete digitalne komunikacije između roditelja i odgojitelja kroz analizu stavova i roditelja i odgojitelja o jasnoći i čitljivosti razmjenjenih sadržaja te informativnosti, učestalosti i učinkovitosti digitalnih komunikacija. Istraživanje se provodilo u razdoblju od 21.09.2021. do 5.10.2021., a njega je pristiglo ukupno 187 valjanih odgovora roditelja i 76 odgovora odgojitelja. Rezultati su pokazali kako svi koriste digitalne servise u međusobnoj komunikaciji, međutim, prednost još uvijek daju komunikaciji licem u lice. Digitalni servisi olakšavaju i ubrzavaju komunikaciju te omogućavaju izgradnju i održavanje međusobnog partnerstva i suradnje te učvršćuju međusobno povjerenje.Use of digital technology in communication between preschool educators and parents Digital technologies are changing the communication between parents and educators. Parents are given insight into different activities through sharing multimedia content, making video calls and communicating with a larger group of people for the purpose of making joint decisions. The use of digital technologies is also defined by the curriculum, and it requires digital competencies, from the creation to the transfer of content. The research in this thesis was conducted to determine the quality of digital communication between parents and educators through the analysis of attitudes of both, parents and educators on the clarity and readability of exchanged content and informativeness, frequency and effectiveness of digital communications. The research was conducted in the period from 21.09.2021. to 5.10.2021, and it received a total of 187 valid answers from parents and 76 answers from preschool educators. The results showed that they use digital services in mutual communication. However, they still give preference to face-to-face communication. Digital services facilitate and speed up communication and enable the building and maintenance of mutual partnership and cooperation, and strengthen mutual trust
