Digital Literacy in Islamic Elementary Education: Parental Mediation of Children's Technology Use at SDN 01 Pontianak Utara

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed how elementary school children learn, communicate, and interact, presenting both opportunities and challenges for their education and moral development. From the perspective of Islamic education, children's technology use requires appropriate parental guidance to ensure that digital activities align with Islamic values. This study aims to explore parental mediation strategies, identify challenges in supervising children's digital activities, and examine the integration of Islamic educational values into digital parenting practices at SDN 01 Pontianak Utara. The novelty of this study lies in its examination of digital parenting through the integration of parental mediation, technology-assisted supervision, and Islamic educational values within the elementary school context. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with parents and Islamic Education teachers, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source triangulation was applied to ensure data credibility. The findings identified three major challenges: limited parental digital literacy, inadequate supervision of children's digital activities, and the need for technology-assisted parental mediation through applications such as Google Family Link. Furthermore, the findings indicate that effective digital parenting requires more than technological restrictions, emphasizing collaboration between parents and schools alongside the integration of Islamic moral values. This study contributes to the development of Islamic digital parenting practices by highlighting the importance of combining technological supervision, parental guidance, and Islamic educational values to create a safer and more responsible digital environment for elementary school children.
