摘要：Drawing is an intimate way of expression for a child to reflect his/her sense and feelings, along with his/her perceptions and observations. Children, by displaying their perceptions about the outer world, give a lot of hints about their inner world. This study was conducted in order to evaluate elementary school students’ perception of the Internet with the help of their drawings. Phenomenological design was employed in this study. The study was carried out with fourth grade students, and their perception of the Internet was analyzed through the pictures they drew, semistructured interviews and their written opinions about the Internet. The participants of the study were 23 elementary school students who were fourth graders at a private school in Eskisehir. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the study have indicated that the students use the Internet for doing research and playing games; thus, their drawings reflect the same concerns. In their drawings, students associated the research aspect of the Internet with “Google” research engine. It was also observed that students consider the Internet as a source of knowledge and there is parallelism among their written opinions and drawing expressions.
