Abstract

In this article, we raise a discussion about the use of the digital environment of secondary schools by parents of students as participants in the educational process in a blended learning format during the war. To collect the data, we used an online survey with 5224 respondents from all regions of Ukraine. The results of the study allowed to determine the readiness of parents to use the digital environment of their child’s school; identify the needs and challenges faced by parents; find out how parents assess their child’s skills in independent learning in distance education; determine the level of material and technical support in the family with a device for distance learning. The findings according to the majority of parents, the most critical aspects of improving the digital environment of the school are the renewal of material support, access to the Internet, communication, the use of a single online educational platform, the use of interactive teaching methods of digital learning tools, and ensuring information security. Additional analysis reveals that 34.6% of parents remain unaware of their school’s educational platform, highlighting critical communication gaps. The study demonstrates that conducting a regular survey among parents is important in order to identify problem areas, increase trust and engagement, take into account the needs of educational participants, maintain the quality of the educational process and introduce innovations. The research provides evidence-based recommendations for schools, policymakers, and community organizations supporting education during crisis.
