Abstract

The development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic have accelerated the world's move towards digitalization. This has resulted in the normalization of the use of learning content, social media, games and entertainment, which can lead to abnormal behavior among children. Although previous studies have discussed these issues, researchers believe that contextual factors, such as family individual characteristics, may be a significant simplification of these issues. Parental intervention is seen as effective in helping children interact with technology. Meanwhile, the differing needs and choices in the usage of content types between boys and girls may also be a crucial factor. Therefore, this study aims to provide a conceptual framework to identify the influence of gadget content types on children's problematic behavior and to determine the extent to which parental mediation and child gender mediate this relationship. This could serve as a roadmap in shaping an appropriate approach to integrate the education system towards digitalization. Furthermore, the idea of conceptual framework is considered to have its own value for future studies.
