description: Parental modelling has become an essential reference for children to form desirable  behaviours as children grow up. Therefore, parents must model appropriate actions for  their children to observe. This quantitative study examined the relationship between  parents’ awareness of their role as a model of technology usage and children’s  engagement in online learning. Other variables explored concerning the main variables  included parents’ perception of technology usage, parents’ technology usage, and  children’s technology usage. The respondents in the study comprised 385 Malaysian  parents and their four to six-year-old children. Data collected via a virtual platform or  face-to-face interaction included parents from all the states in Malaysia. The findings  indicated that parents’ awareness of their role as a model of technology usage was not  related to their children’s engagement in online learning. Instead, it showed that  parents’ perception of technology usage was positively related to their children’s  technology usage, and children’s technology usage was positively related to their online  learning engagement. Therefore, the findings imply that parents need to equip  themselves with the proper perception of technology usage, as their perception may  affect their children’s technology usage and engagement in online learning.
