Dijital Ebeveynlikten Algoritma Ebeveynliğine: Çocukların İnternet Kullanımında Aile İçi Rehberlik Stratejilerinin Kavramsal Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Contemporary parenting practices are undergoing transformation with the increasing penetration of digital technologies into everyday life. This study examines the concept of digital parenting from a theoretical and conceptual perspective, evaluating the literature in this field within a thematic framework. The primary aim is to introduce the concept of "algorithmic parenting" as a new analytical category in digital parenting research and to establish its theoretical foundations. The research does not aim to conduct a systematic literature review or produce empirical findings; rather, it seeks to theoretically reinterpret the phenomenon of digital parenting and develop a conceptual position informed by interdisciplinary perspectives. Digital parenting approaches are conceptually analyzed along the axes of active guidance, restrictive management, co-use, and technical mediation, while technology-mediated parenting strategies are discussed within their cultural contexts. The meanings of algorithmic parenting within Turkish parenting culture are examined through Kağıtçıbaşı's relational self-model and Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. The study maps the theoretical landscape of digital parenting literature through an interpretive and analytical approach. In conclusion, it is argued that algorithmic parenting is not merely a matter of technological tool use, but a critical transformation domain in the reconstruction of parenting identity and the intergenerational transmission of digital literacy.
