The sample of the research is a group of parents of a secondary vocational school (30 parents). When determining the study group, a type of sample was used, namely a purposeful type of sample. Data were obtained through online interviews with parents who participated in the research. Data were processed through descriptive analysis. The results of the research determined that parents could not use the given applications that were used in classes, that they had problems connecting to the Internet, that they could not connect to Google Classroom and access materials for the class, that the sense of responsibility of the students decreased , and that dependence on technology and social media has increased.
