Abstract

Purpose: Research on children’s digital media use has traditionally focused on screen time duration, overlooking the importance of content quality and parental decision-making. This study examines how parents make content-based decisions regarding children’s digital media use, moving beyond traditional screen time perspectives. Methods: Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six parents of early childhood children aged 2-6 years in a private kindergarten in Jambi and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings: The findings reveal two main themes: content selection by parents and educational purposes of access. Parents actively curate children’s digital environments by selecting age-appropriate, safe, and educational content, rather than focusing solely on limiting screen time. In addition, digital media are increasingly utilized as learning tools to support literacy, language development, and school-related learning. These findings indicate a shift in parental mediation practices toward a more intentional and content-oriented approach to digital parenting. Research Implications: The study contributes to the growing discourse on “beyond screen time” by emphasizing that the quality and purpose of digital media use are more significant than duration alone. It also highlights the critical role of parents as active facilitators of children’s digital engagement. Originality: This study contributes by proposing a process-oriented understanding of content-based parental decision-making, highlighting how parents evaluate, filter, and guide children’s digital media use beyond simple time regulation. The findings suggest that digital parenting is increasingly shaped by content quality and educational intent, emphasizing the role of parents as active facilitators in children’s digital engagement.

Abstract

Digital transformation has redefined university libraries as strategic digital service ecosystems that support teaching, learning, and institutional governance. Despite substantial investments in digital library infrastructure, empirical evidence on users’ perceptions of service quality within institutional governance frameworks remains limited, particularly in Indonesian higher education. This study evaluated students’ perceptions of digital library service quality within the SMART UNJA institutional governance framework and examined whether these perceptions differed across gender and faculty groups. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 303 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire measuring six dimensions of digital library service quality: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, tangibility, and digital infrastructure. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, and MANOVA were employed for data analysis. The findings indicate that students generally perceived digital library services positively across all dimensions, with tangibility receiving the highest ratings and empathy the lowest. No statistically significant differences were found across gender or faculty groups, suggesting a consistent service experience among users. These findings provide empirical evidence that the SMART UNJA governance framework supports equitable and user-centered digital library services while highlighting the importance of strengthening personalized service interactions. The study contributes to the growing literature on digital library service quality by offering evidence from an institutional digital governance perspective in higher education.
