INTRODUCTION
The novel coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic, which has already infected nearly 3
million people in 148 countries, has killed by more than 200,000 people worldwide and
has disrupted the world. The crisis has already turned into a shock to the economy and
the labor market. We are beginning to understand the economic impact of COVID-19.
Still, many other urgent issues need to be addressed, including school closures, their
impact on learning, and the educational burden on students, parents, and teachers.
contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are centers are social activity and
the human interaction. When schools close, many children and adolescents lose the social
contacts they need to learn and develop (Union, 2020). This has immediate as well as
and networking equipment, satellite systems, and various services available such as video
Interactive online classes are also provided bt the opportunities for social
interaction and promote lifelong learning for all through distance learning. Considered
appropriate to meet the era's needs, these initiatives are also making life difficult for
parents who work from home to ensure that their children's learning is always
uninterrupted. Corona Virus Infectious Disease-19: Corona 19. Therefore, this small

study aimed to explore homeschooling experiences during COVID-19 based on parenting
experiences.
Framework
The theory (Bandura, 1997) found that parental self-esteem and modulating
with parental psychological stress and two children. Affective regulation and childhood
highlighted how parental self-efficacy might mediate the relationship between parental
psychological distress and child adaptation. Our model also predicted psychological
stress in parents from exposure to multiple risks associated with COVID-19 quarantine
and epidemics.
A second goal was to assess the child's biological sex, age, and geographic area
(Northern Italy where the risk of spreading and infection of the pandemic is highest) or
the rest of Italy. Adjusted the structural path of the model. A child's biological sex may
influence how parents respond to the child (Sanders and Morawska, 2018). Parental self-
esteem may change over time (DeaterDeckard and Panneton, 2017) and may increase in
infancy. There is evidence that it may (Weaver et al., 2008) decrease as children reach
adolescence (Glatz and Buchanan, 2015). In contrast, we did not expect to find
differences concerning living (or not living) in areas at high risk for COVID-19 (e.g.,
northern Italy), as recent Italian and Chinese studies show (Jiao et al., 2020; Spinelli). et

Parental Involvement
Existing research has noted that parental involvement plays an important role in
several ways (e.g., Gugiu 2019, Antipkina 2020, HooverDempsey 2011. Antipkina and

Spinelli and colleagues (2020) showed that more stressed parents were less
involved in their children's educational activities during epidemics. Dong and colleagues
(2020) reported that most parents felt the need to be with their children during online
learning at least once a day. Although barriers existed, parental involvement in their
children's education may have increased during the Homeschooling Bubb (2020). The
literature emphasizes that parents of children of all ages, from primary to secondary, have
closer to their child's learning, and thereby contribute more to their learning (Bozkur,
2020). Additionally, most parents (mostly young students) found that homeschooling
situations improved parent-teacher relationships and increased respect for teachers. This
The closest thing to the COVID-19 online learning situation may be online
education research in the pre-COVID period. Before COVID-19, online education and
distance learning were fast-growing opportunities for families and children to engage in
6
learning without going to a physical classroom (Michael 2017, Randall 2016, Andrew
2017). Often these online school opportunities allow more students to enroll across
borders and borders. Lewis (2016). Students use multimedia experiences in interactive
other learning materials. Despite these possibilities, educational settings in schools and
online learning often mimic the tasks and homework of traditional school settings. June
2011. As schools revert to online personal learning styles, this can lead to
incompatibilities and create more challenges. This can be supported by evidence that
online learning does not necessarily imply better or equivalent learning in a physical
environment. The most extensive studies of enrollment patterns and student performance
in Ohio charter schools show that students often perform worse on standardized grades
than their peers in traditional and public schools (June 2017). Similarly, in the early
2000s, students in California home and online charter schools were worse than
Multiple Roles and Managing Technology Use in Family Life in COVID19 in the United
States.
Much of what we know about online education began in an era, not a crisis.
Requiring children and families to work independently through online learning during
the COVID-19 pandemic may stress self-regulation of learning and managing their
learning process. Because this kind of independent self-regulation in the online learning
space is difficult for learners, they often require careful support and guidance before

been around for many years, we anticipate that supporting online learning during the
An individual's emotional state is not one-dimensional and not static but can
change from moment to moment depending on different people and the external
environment (e.g., Kuppens (2010). Positive and negative influences reflect the

associated uncertainties are unavoidable. As a result, parents and adolescents with high
IU levels may experience more stress in their current situation, which may affect their
emotions and parenting behaviors. Previous studies have not investigated the relationship
between IU and day-to-day influences and parenting behaviors in a family context. In this
study, this was pursued. In light of the pandemic, we are also investigating how IU is

studies dealing with similar variables dealt with in the present study.
This study aims to determine the experiences and challenges encountered by parents
at home during COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted within this school year
2021-2022. The respondents were parents. The respondents will going to interview by the
