Abstract

This study is a research conducted in Finnish primary school for 18 third graders to find out how computer-assisted learning affects the learning results of the pupils. Besides learning results, this study also discusses the pupils' opinions on computer-assisted learning and the used education environment. The exercises used in this research were developed for this study and are based on learning theories and social aspect of learning discussed in this paper. The results from these research problems are very encouraging and show that the computer-assisted learning has great potential.
