Children, Technology and Play (CTAP) Survey

The School of Education at the University of Cape Town (UCT) investigated children’s learning through digital play. The aim of the study was to explore the intersection between child play, technology, creativity and learning among children aged between 3 and 11 years. The study also identified skills and dispositions children develop through both digital and non-digital play. The data shared emerged from a survey of parents of children in the stated age group, with particular reference to the parents views on children's play practices, including time parents spent playing with their children, concerns parents had on time children spend playing on various technologies, types of play children in South Africa engaged in and the concerns of parents when children played with some electronic devices.
