Çevrim-içi Ortamlar ve Dijital Ebeveynlik: Yaklaşımlar, Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Dijital ebeveynlik, çocukların dijital medya ve çevrimiçi ortamların sunmuş olduğu fırsatlardan yararlanmasını sağlarken diğer taraftan bu ortamların verebileceği zararlara karşı ise çocukları korumayı gerektirmektedir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı, dijital çağda çocukları bekleyen çevrimiçi risklerin, bu risklerle baş etme yöntemleri olarak ebeveynlerin kullanmış olduğu stratejilerin ve bu stratejileri kullanırken ebeveynlerin karşılaştığı güçlüklerin ortaya konmasıdır. Çalışmada dijital ebeveynlikle ilgili alan yazın incelenerek bir betimsel tarama yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda çevrimiçi riskler, dijital ebeveynlikte öne çıkan yaklaşımlar, ebeveynlerin çevrim-içi risklerle baş etme stratejileri ve bu risklerle baş ederken karşılaştıkları zorluklar ayrıntılı olarak irdelenmiştir. Sosyal medya ile çevrimiçi oyunlarda karşılaşılan riskler ve sanal zorbalık dijital ortamlarda karşılaşılan çevrimiçi risklerdir. Dijital ebeveynlikte öne çıkan yaklaşımlar; kısıtlayıcı, öğretici, birlikte kullanımı etkinleştirme ve müdahale etmeme olarak belirlenmiştir. Ebeveynler çevrimiçi risklerle baş etme yöntemleri olarak genelde kısıtlama ve yasaklar koyma yolunu tercih etmektedirler. Ayrıca çocuğun yaş grubuna göre çevrimiçi ortamları kullanma konusunda rehberlik yapma ile bilinçlendirme çabaları gözlenmektedir. Ebeveynlerin karşılaştıkları zorluklar olarak ise gizlilik ihlali ve ebeveyn kayıtsızlığı gibi durumlar öne çıkmaktadır.
