We observed programming by children to study what type of problem solving is performed in multim environments. As a result, we obtained the following information :1. Connection between the problem solving by children and the actual world is tightened by utilizing multimedia data. Specific details are as follows :(1) Affordances from the screen is enhanced, giving an opportunity to expand a new activity.(2) Affordances from the screen brings about a program creation problem.(3) Experience of these activities may lead to a question about the actual world.2. Affordances from the screen affects children's activities significantly. It is classified as follows according to how it works :(1) Physical Affordances : Space characteristic, positional relationship, and material and place properties(2) Social Affordances : Information on common sense and rulesThese types of Affordances extends and regulates children's activities.3. The following items are taken as specific measures to support individual problem solving :(1) Supply of a microcosm that serves as a children's activity place. It brings about problems encountered in the actual world.(2) Supply of multimedia elements to support children's activities.(3) Participation in a problem solution place.
