Abstract
The tendency to use the computer and other modern information technologies as means of learning and accessing information even applies to early primary school age children. The research presented in this paper has revealed that primary school students are not only aware of the increasing importance of using computers and familiar with the purpose and ways of using computers, but also enjoy themselves while doing so. Upon analyzing the results, statistically relevant correlations were obtained between the assessed values of variables computer importance and computer enjoyment and other variables related to learning success, including motivation, study habits, creative tendencies and school attitudes, as well as empathy as a social skill variable.
