Summary/Abstract: Computer modelling in primary school is a new subject introduced in the curricula approved by the Ministry of Education and Science in Bulgaria for third and fourth grade of primary school in 2018. The introduction of this new subject aims to build the skills of young students to work in a digital environment, as well as to stimulate and develop their logical thinking. Nowadays, information technology must be used not only as an environment, but as a learning tool. This article presents a study conducted at the end of the 2019/2020 school year in the fourth grade, which covers four groups of students, or 76 students in total, from a school in the city of Sofia. The obtained results are analyzed and presented in the form of diagrams.
