Abstract

This phenomenological study explored how parents’ perspectives of digital learning in relation to academic success influenced the selected mode of instruction for their child. The research answered questions regarding parent perspectives of digital learning, as related to the quality of instruction, academic success, and the overall decision for the mode of instruction selected for their child. Findings revealed responsibility and accountability, proficiency, competency, and knowledge of how to assist children while learning contributed to parents’ perspective of digital learning and its influence on their child’s academic success. Furthermore, findings discovered teacher experience, skills, and interactions influenced parents’ perspectives of the quality of instruction received and their decision to select digital learning as the mode of instruction for their child.
