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.
