The scale of the media and television reading levels, which has been developed on the Green side, has been used to determine the media and television reading levels of children. On the other hand, the Internet Addiction scale, adapted to Turkey by Shahin and Korkmaz, has been used to determine the levels of internet addiction for children. In addition to these two scales, personal information forms have also been used to collect the demographic information of children. In the analysis of data, arithmetic average, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, t and Anova analyses were used. The value of 0.05 is sufficient. According to the results of the analysis, the access to the technology is reasonable for the families in need. Students also use technology for educational purposes. It has been determined that families in need bring some restrictions to their children in the process of using technology. The internet addiction rate of children is low. Men are more dependent on the internet than girls. The media level of children is medium. The findings have found that girls are more media and television readers than boys.

Özet:

Each community needs appropriate family, environment and community conditions to ensure that children are healthy and well-being. Some families cannot provide a suitable environment for their children because they do not have enough income for various reasons. Therefore, the community must help parents raise their children and protect their rights so that parents can do their duties more easily. Of course, children of families they don’t have enough income need to use ICT as well as children of families with normal income levels. These technologies provide many gains in daily life, as well as significant gains in learning environments. However, it should be taken into consideration that there may also be some negativities brought about by intensive use of technology. One of these negativities is addiction. The main way to protect children from internet addiction is to make them aware of this danger and use these technologies consciously. In short it can be said that they should educate them as media literacy. In the literature, it is possible to come across research on the subject of many variables such as access levels, usage goals, literacy and addiction levels. However, there is not enough evidence in the literature of access to these technologies, the level of use of these technologies during the education process, literacy and addiction levels of the poor family children. It can be said that the issues of internet addiction and literacy are important variables that are frequently emphasized in the field. According to this, the aim of this study is to examine the computer, mobile phone, media-television literacy, access to the internet and the use of these tools for educational purposes of poor family children.
