  The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of multimedia software-based citizenship education on increasing citizenship awareness of eight-year-old children in Isfahan city using semi-empirical method with two testing and control groups and with pretest and posttest. The statistical population of the study was a total of 26572 grade-two male and female primary students of Isfahan city among which two boys’ and girls’ schools were chosen by random cluster sampling method. Then, two classes were chosen among grade-two classes in each school as a test group and a control group (78 people). Having been pretested, both groups (boys and girls) were taught multimedia software-based citizenship education for five weeks. Then, both were given a posttest. The data collecting tool was a combitional researcher made test covering five fields including national identity, religious teachings, familiarity with rules and regulations, social relations and behavior and protecting environment, whose validity was verified and whose reliability, using split-half method, was estimated 0/85. The research findings showed that there was a difference between pretest and posttest scores of the participants in all aspects of the training. The results also indicated that multimedia software- based citizenship education had more effects on boys than girls. In addition, the highest influence was on protecting environment and the lowest influence was on religious teachings.  Manuscript profile
