Abstract
Recently, it has been stressed that informatic Education is not just to study functions and operations of one specific media, specifically in primary school. To study them should be minimized even if being necessary and the media must be used as a tool for problem-solving. Activities such as collecting data, creating data-base, examing the importance of the data, reconstructing and exchanging of imformation were introduced and examined. The curriculum based on the activities was also provided. The expected children's behaviors and the imformation processing abilities were classified. The characteristic of this classification is that the abilities are not directly related to skills of the operations. Complex Media System that was constituted by "Compu Note" and VTR was used for children's learning. Children in two schools (rural and urban areas) studied their towns and exchanged imformation by using "Compu Note" and VTR. The result showed that, the children participated in the lessons actively, but some problems in operating "Compu Note" were also found. The succession to the further study and the methods of evaluation should be carefully examined in the future.
