Abstract

In the past, there has been heated discussion about how students should use digital tools for learning among parents, academics, teachers, and policymakers. This study aimed to determine how parents of nursing students felt about online education in a few nursing colleges in Kerala and Karnataka. This study employed a descriptive survey design to gather information. The sample comprised of 111 nursing students' parents, who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Ethical guidelines and principles were strictly followed throughout the research process. The researchers on collaboration produced a semi-structured, internet-delivered questionnaire and sent it via Google Forms. The questionnaire was available in both, an English and a Malayalam version. According to the research, most parents find online classes challenging, because of technical issues and a lack of technology, but they generally encourage their kids to use these methods at home. The results of this study indicate that parents do not intend for digital technologies to act as the online course instructors; rather, they believe that these tools should assist the learning framework and help the child achieve the goals of each session.
