This study takes place in a Greek Primary School. It investigates the possibility to promote autonomous learning, as a new learning paradigm, through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This is done by answering whether the pupils: (a) became motivated to use ICT for learning purposes, (b) used ICT to gather resources about concepts and units of curriculum subjects, and (c) used ICT to apply or develop managerial skills. These are abilities of autonomous learners. The conclusions show that pupils managed to learn to use the ICT through a self-learning perspective; however, more has to be done.
