Abstract
On the basis of national research data on the schoolchildren’ achievements and on the grounds of a secondary analysis of the gained information the article deals with operation of educational software in the process of teaching world study in primary school and different natural sciences in basic school. It has been established that in comparison with science lessons provided in basic school educational software is often enough followed during the classes on world study in primary school. Primary educational software is regularly used in the city site and regional centre schools while in the rural area it is very rare. On the opposite of the city site schools, basic educational software is widely employed in the rural area.
