Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Young children spend a lot of time using screens: watching television, playing on touchscreen apps, or
facetiming with grandparents. In fact, research on global screen time guidelines has found that around 75% of
children aged up to two years use some form of digital media daily, and 64% of children aged two to five years
use it for more than an hour a day.
Digital media is part of children’s lives and is set to stay that way. This means it is crucial to understand how to
use this technology so children can benefit from it, and how to maximise its educational potential.
A key way to do this is for parents and other adults to use digital media together with children. This is known as
co-use, and can range from parents actively discussing the media content with their children to simply watching
a show together.
Our recent research with colleagues has investigated how adults using digital media with children aged up to
six affects children’s ability to learn from digital media. We carried out a meta-analysis: a wide-ranging
examination of existing research studies to identify trends and themes. We found that, overall, parent-child co-
use is helpful for supporting young children’s learning from digital media. Adults using digital media
together with children can help them understand and relate to the digital content better. Our research
chimes with other studies which suggest that, for instance, parents using digital media with children can boost
language skills.
Our findings suggest that by being actively engaged, adults can help their children make the most of the
educational benefits of digital media. This could involve one-to-one interactions directing their child’s attention
to the educational content and relating it to real-world situations.
