Disengaged, Positive, or Negative: Parents' Attitudes Toward Learning From Home Amid COVID-19 Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many countries to close their schools and to change their education system to adopt the learning from home (LFH) method, which arguably requires more direct involvement from parents to succeed. This study explored parent's attitudes toward LFH policy based on a surve...

This study explored parent's attitudes toward LFH policy based on a survey of 261 participants from 16 provinces in Indonesia. Employing latent class analysis, we revealed three distinct groups of parents with unique compounds of attitudes toward LFH (i.e., disengaged, positive, and negative). Disengaged parents neither consider LFH useful, nor do they see it as demanding. In contrast, the other two groups of parents have quite the opposite views on the usefulness and demandingness of LFH. Further analysis using multinomial logistic regression revealed that older parents from low-income households tend to be disengaged while fathers of young children tend to have negative attitudes toward LFH. Interestingly, the ownership of a personal computer at home seems to be a key indicator of parents with positive attitudes toward LFH after controlling for other demographic factors. How the findings provide a firsthand insight on the existence of digital divide by highlighting the importance of access to personal computers at home is further discussed. Highlights: Three groups of parents based on their attitudes toward the learning from home (LFH) policy amid COVID-19 pandemic were disengaged, positive, and negative. Disengaged parents did not consider LFH useful, nor did they see it as demanding. Parents with positive attitudes toward LFH considered it useful and not demanding, contrary to the other group of parents with negative attitudes who found it very demanding and not that useful. Older parents from low-income households tended to be disengaged while fathers of young children tended to have negative attitudes toward LFH. The ownership of a personal computer at home was a key indicator of parents with positive attitudes toward LFH after controlling for demographic factors. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
