Digital technology for kindergarten children

Abstract

      The current study aims to identify kindergarten children's use of digital technology. To achieve this goal, the researchers adopted a descriptive approach. The research population consisted of children from public and private kindergartens, with the research sample totaling (150) boys and girls. The researchers used statistical methods and reached the following conclusions: Kindergarten children enjoy a high level of digital technology. There are no differences between male and female children in digital technology, nor are there differences between public and private kindergartens regarding digital technology. Based on the previous findings, the researchers reached the following recommendations and proposals: The use of digital technology for children should shift from random entertainment to purposeful education, while taking into account the balance between digital and real-life activities (free play, social interaction, physical movement). A proposal: Study the impact of digital technology on the social and emotional development of kindergarten children.
