Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the instructive parenting skills of families for the e-learning process. The Instructive Parenting Skills Scale was used as a quantitative data collection tool in the study, which was carried out using the mixed research method. And a semi-structured interview form applied to parents and teachers was used as a qualitative data collection tool in the study. For the data analysis of the study, parametric tests were used for quantitative data analysis and content analysis was used for qualitative data analysis. According to the research findings, as a result of the quantitative data analysis, it was determined that the perceptions of the parents towards the instructive parenting skills were at the "mostly" level. In the study, according to the t-Test and ANOVA results, it was determined that there was a significant difference in favor of female parents, working parents, younger parents, and parents whose children are at primary school level for the subscale of supporting learning at home under instructive parenting skills scale. As a result of the tests performed based on the variables of graduation and income status, it was found that there was no significant difference. As a result of the qualitative analyzes, it was determined that the parents involved in the learning at home process as much as possible, but the teachers did not consider the level and quality of this involvement sufficient. In the study, it was concluded that the families considered their instructive parenting skills at a sufficient level, and they involved as instructive parents in the e-learning process, while the teachers were not satisfied with the involvement of parents in learning at home.
