Περίληψη (Αγγλική μετάφραση) Within the framework of the specific dissertation proposal, an interactive educational material was designed as well as evaluated for the subject of Physics in the 6th grade of Public Primary school and more specifically for the unit of Circulatory System. The educational material was created according to the principles of Distance learning education, the theory of multimedia learning as proposed by Mayer, learning theories as well as the syllabus and the Interdisciplinary Common Curriculum Framework. The aim of the present dissertation proposal is to suggest supplementary educational material for the specific unit, constituting therefore a useful tool for the teacher and providing assistance to pupils so as to fully comprehend the specific subject.

At first, after a literature review was conducted, the analysis of the theoretical framework takes place underpinning not only the creation of the educational material but also the research itself. Then, the three teaching modules are presented which the educational material is drawn upon, followed by the research evaluation of its content. The evaluation utilizes qualitative research methodology and more specifically two questionnaires with open-ended questions, which Primary school teachers are required to provide a response. Thus, conclusions were drawn concerning the adequacy, the usability as well as the structure of the educational material. Last but not least, the relationship between the teaching of Science in Primary schools with Distance Learning education and IT was studied.
