Abstract

In this research a questionary survey was implemented to investigate how elementary school students in $3^{rd}-6^{th}$ grade understood articles or terminology using electromagnetic wave technology in contemporary culture. Also, part of students who had participated in questionnaire survey was interviewed 2 times for each 20 minute personally to investigate students' perceptions about some household articles in their every day life using electromagnetic wave technology. As a result, first, elementary school students had pretty higher perceptions of the artificial satellite provided in their curriculum and the technology of electromagnetic wave released from cartoons, computer games or advertisements. Second, because they were concerned about appearances of household articles, they perceived some household articles in their every day life with conceptions of electricity or visual mechanism.
