국내에서 지난 몇 년간 컴퓨터 사용이나 인터넷 컴퓨터게임 중독에 관한 연구들이 대부분 중, 고등학교 수준의 청소년을 대상으로 하는 반면 초등학교 아동을 대상으로 한 실태 조사 및 관련 연구는 미흡한 편이다. 특히 초등학교 아동들이 보이는 대표적인 인터넷게임 과다사용이 컴퓨터게임 중독이라는 점을 고려해 볼 때 이에 관한 실태를 파악해보고 해결점을 모색해 봄으로써 중, 고등학교로 이어지는 컴퓨터 교육의 올바른 방향을 제시해 보고자 했으며 인터넷 게임이 초등학생들의 여가 생활 문화로 자리 매김하고 있는 현실에서 지도상 관망하기보다는 구체적이고 실제적인 대응책이 강구되어야 할 것이다. 또 인터넷 게임을 교육적으로 활용하는 측면도 많이 개발되고 있으므로 놀이와 학습을 병행하는 지도도 함께 이루어져야 할 것이다.
