Abstract:
This phenomenological case study examined how 22 Indigenous Papuan parents and 8 primary-school teachers experienced the use of technology in home–school partnerships. Findings showed broad support for technological integration, with cultural awareness and the technological knowledge of parents and teachers shaping its benefits. Technology served diverse functions and increased parents’ involvement in their children’s learning, suggesting that holistic and culturally responsive digital practices can strengthen home–school collaboration
