Abstract

The use of digital technology has brought about major changes in the world of education, especially at the elementary school level. However, the use of gadgets in an educational manner requires proper guidance. In this context, the role of parents is very important. Unfortunately, unequal access to technology and limited teacher capabilities are the main obstacles in the development of digital literacy, especially in rural areas. This study aims to examine the influence of the role of parents, cultural capital, and social capital on the educational digital literacy of elementary school students in Madura. The method used is quantitative descriptive with a survey of 200 parents. Data collection was carried out through online and direct questionnaires, then analyzed using SEM-PLS 3.0 and a Likert scale. The results showed that the role of parents had a positive and significant effect, emphasizing the importance of their involvement as facilitators. Cultural capital did not have a significant effect, possibly due to limited digital access and less relevance for elementary school children. Meanwhile, social capital had a positive and significant effect, indicating the importance of collaboration between parents, teachers, and the school environment in supporting students' digital literacy.
