Abstract :The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of teaching the Data Processing learning domain with VUstat software supported activities on the academic achievement and retention of sixth grade students. The sample of the study, in which the pretest-posttest paired control group design was used, consisted of 45 sixth grade students, 23 in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. The Data Processing Achievement Test, which was developed by the researchers and consisted of 25 questions, was used to collect data for the purpose of the study. As a result of the study, it was revealed that VUstat software activities were effective in ensuring the retention of knowledge, but they were not effective on students\' achievement. At the end of the study, some suggestions were made for the researcher\'s experiences and future research.
