Abstract
The current generation of youth is growing up in a rapidly changing world and the way in which children are guided and supervised is evolving. Studies have shown the importance of collaboration between schools and families for positive child development. Parental monitoring, including parental knowledge, watchfulness, and supervision, is crucial for positive outcomes. Parental involvement in a child's education leads to high expectations, higher academic performance, and positive behavior. In online education, parental monitoring can help students' progress by allowing parents to observe or be informed of their performance, activities, and websites visited. To address challenges such as short attention spans and multitasking during online classes, the researchers propose "prodScout: A MULTI-PLATFORM APPLICATION FOR PARENTAL MONITORING." The application will notify parents and teachers if students have unnecessary web activities during class sessions, promoting productivity and attentiveness. Parental involvement in education has been present since early childcare programs and homeschooling. The involvement of both parents and teachers is crucial for a child's education and development. The study is now ready for implementation and usage by parents and families of students taking online classes.
