questionnaire technique. The research was conducted in August 2023 among parents of
students in grades 1-3 of primary school. The group of respondents consisted of 50 people.
Results: The surveyed parents have varied knowledge about media education. Many
parents regularly talk to their children about Internet safety and the rules of using
electronic devices. The vast majority of parents know the possibilities and threats related
to the use of electronic devices and media.

it and pass it on to their children in an appropriate way. They also try to follow their
