Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a learning support device, a method for the same, and a recording medium on which a program is recorded.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The history of computer-assisted learning support for individual learning has a long history, and in particular, questions of the form of selecting one that is considered correct from a plurality of options (hereinafter referred to as a selection problem) are presented. The learning support method of the type of providing a comment in accordance with the answer may be easily mechanically processed by a computer, and many programs have already been put to practical use.

In many of these programs, the questions presented to the learner are created in advance by the creator of the teaching material. As a conventional technique for deciding which question is to be asked next to the learner from these questions, the difficulty of each problem is compared with that of a previously created problem. There is a method of assigning degrees and determining based on the difficulty of the presented problem and the student's answer to the problem. As such a method, for example, JP-A-5-3
It is disclosed in 33760 gazette, and its outline is shown below.

FIG. 15 is a configuration diagram of a conventional learning support device. In FIG. 15, the problem storage means 1501 is
And a plurality of pieces of question information including four pieces of information such as the difficulty level of the question set by the teaching material creator, the question ID for identifying each question, the question, and the correct answer. The difficulty storage means 1502 holds the difficulty of the next question to be set for the learner. The problem search means 1503 retrieves problem information corresponding to the difficulty level held by the difficulty level storage means 1502 from the problem storage means 1501 and holds it. The question presenting means 105 presents a question to the learner.
The answer receiving means 106 receives an answer input by the learner.
The correct / incorrect judgment unit 107 compares the answer accepted by the answer accepting unit 106 with the correct answer of the question held by the question search unit 1503 to judge correctness. The explanation creating means 1504 creates an answer explanation showing the result of the right / wrong judgment. The comment presenting means 110 presents the answer comment to the learner. The difficulty level updating unit 1505 updates the difficulty level stored in the difficulty level storage unit 1502 based on the determination result of the true / false determination unit 107.

FIG. 16 shows a processing flow of a conventional learning support apparatus. In this example, it is assumed that the difficulty of the question is set from 1 to 5, and that the larger the value of the difficulty, the more difficult the problem is. When the learner starts the exercise, the problem search means 1503 acquires the difficulty stored in the difficulty storage 1502 (step 1601). In this example, it is assumed that the difficulty level storage unit 1502 holds a numerical value “2”. Further, problem information having the acquired difficulty level is retrieved from the problem storage means 1501 and held (step 1602). Step 160
The problem indicated by the problem information obtained in the step 2
05 is presented to the learner (step 1603). When the number of the option is input as the input of the answer, the learner inputs the answer number, and the answer accepting unit 106 holds this number (step 1604). The correct / wrong judging means 107 obtains a correct answer number for the question from the question information held in the question searching means 1503, and obtains this in step 1604.
Is compared with the answer number of the learner obtained from step (1605). The explanation creating means 1504 creates an answer explanation showing the result of step 1605, and the explanation presenting means 110 presents it to the learner (step 160).
6). The difficulty level updating unit 1505 includes the difficulty level storage unit 15.
Update the value stored in 02. In this example, when the answer is determined to be correct, 1 is added to the numerical value stored in the difficulty level storage unit 1502, and when the answer is determined to be incorrect, the numerical value stored in the difficulty level storage unit 1502 is added. 1 is subtracted from In addition, difficulty storage means 1
When the numerical value held in 502 is 5 and it is determined that the answer is correct, and when it is 1 and it is determined that it is incorrect, no update is performed. When it is determined that the answer is correct, 3 which is obtained by adding 1 to 2 is stored in the difficulty level storage means 1502, and when it is determined that the answer is incorrect, 1 which is obtained by subtracting 1 from 2 is stored in the difficulty level storage means 1502.
2 (step 1607). If the learner continues the exercise, the process returns to step 1601. The learning is advanced by repeating the above.

[0006]

In the prior art,
In order to present difficult or easy questions depending on the learner, the creator of the teaching material creates the questions in advance, and assigns a numerical value indicating the degree of difficulty to the questions in consideration of the difficulty of each question. In the above-described conventional example, when the correct answer is the question of the difficulty "2", the next question is the question of the difficulty "3" having a larger value of the difficulty as a more difficult question. Difficulty with lower difficulty value
The question 1 ”will be asked next.

However, the difficulty level of the problem set by the creator of the learning material does not always match the difficulty level of the problem actually felt by the learner. Generally, it is considered that the difficulty of a problem felt by a learner depends on the degree to which oneself has mastered the content of the problem.
The point is also whether or not you have mastered the content of each presented option, no matter how much the material creator thinks it is a difficult problem, if the learner does not have knowledge about the content of the option, It can be a difficult problem for learners. For example, the following example can be considered.

The creator of the teaching material considers two questions in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B in which the correct answer is “1”.
It is assumed that the problem of FIG. 2A is more difficult than the problem of FIG. 2B, and the difficulty of the problem of FIG. 2A is set to be larger than the difficulty of the problem of FIG. It is also assumed that the learner B does not know what “physical record” and “floppy disk” mean, and knows the meaning of “logical record” and “hard disk”.

For the learner B, since the question of FIG. 2 (A) knows the meanings of "logical record" of "2" and "hard disk" of "3", each of them cannot be the correct answer to this question. Can understand and can select the correct "1" without hesitation. The problem in Fig. 2 (B) is "3"
I know the meaning of "hard disk", so I can understand that it is not the correct answer to this problem, but I get lost in either "physical record" of "1" or "floppy disk" of "2". In this case, for learner B,
It can be considered that the problem in FIG. 2A is easier than the problem in FIG. 2B, and does not match the difficulty level of the problem set by the creator of the teaching material.

As described above, when the creator of a learning material issues a question based on a fixed difficulty level determined in advance, a problem that is not appropriate for the understanding situation may be presented depending on the learner.

Now, as shown in the above example, FIG.
2B and the correct answer of the problem of FIG. 2B are both “1”, but the problem of FIG. 2A is more difficult for the learner A, and the problem of FIG. You may find the problem more difficult. Taking this into account, in the choice question, in addition to the understanding of the content of each presented option, depending on how to combine the options,
It would be possible to control the difficulty of the problem.

Therefore, in the present invention, instead of using the fixed difficulty level determined by the creator of the teaching material, the understanding status of each option is determined based on the problem that the learner has worked on in the past and the student's answer to the problem. Provided is a learning support device, a learning support method, and a recording medium for recording the program, which quantify and dynamically calculate the difficulty level of a problem based on the numerical value, thereby presenting a problem according to a learner's understanding situation. The purpose is to:

[0013]

According to the present invention, the teaching material storage means stores a plurality of terms and explanation data for explaining the terms. The learning situation storage means stores answer distances for all overlapping permutations formed by selecting two terms from the terms held by the learning material storage means. An option selection unit selects an option from the terms held by the learning material storage unit based on the answer distance stored in the learning situation storage unit. The question creating means creates a question including the question choices selected by the option selecting means. The question presenting means presents the question created by the question creating means to the learner. The answer accepting means allows the learner to select an option of the presented question. The correct / incorrect judgment means compares the correct answer stored in the option selection means with the option selected by the learner to judge correctness. The learning status updating means updates the answer distance based on the question choice, the choice selected by the learner, and the correct answer.

[0014] This makes it possible to present a problem according to the learner's understanding situation, thereby improving the learning effect.

[0015]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A learning support apparatus according to the present invention comprises a learning material storing means for storing a plurality of terms and explanatory data for explaining the terms, and two terms selected from the terms stored in the learning material storing means. A learning situation storage means for storing answer distances for all overlapping permutations, and an option selecting means for selecting a question choice from terms held by the learning material storage means based on the answer distances stored in the learning situation storage means. , A question creating means for creating a question including the question choices selected by the option selecting means, a question presenting means for presenting the question created by the question creating means to the learner, and the learner selecting the presented question options. The answer accepting means, the answer accepting means for allowing the learner to select an option of the presented problem, and the correct answer stored in the option selecting means are compared with the options selected by the learner to determine correctness. Cormorants includes a right or wrong decision means, the learning situation update means for updating the answer distance based on the choices to be the correct answer and the option chosen by the question choices learner.

With this configuration, it is possible to present a problem according to the learner's understanding situation.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a learning support device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a problem presenting unit 105, a response receiving unit 106, a right / wrong determining unit 107, and a comment presenting unit 110 are the same as those shown in the configuration diagram (FIG. 15) of the conventional learning support device. In the present embodiment, the questions to be set are as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. First, before explaining the whole operation,
The option selecting unit 103 and the learning status updating unit 108, which are the main operations of the present invention, will be described.

As shown in the example of FIG. 2 described above, in the selection problem, the question is determined by the learner's understanding of each of the question options and how to combine the options based on the understanding. Can be controlled. Therefore, in the present invention, when presenting a problem to a learner, the following consideration is given to which option the learner is likely to select.

A set of a plurality of terms to be set ｛U
1, U2,..., Un}, a numerical value (hereinafter, referred to as an answer distance) is associated with all overlapping permutations formed by selecting two terms, and is represented by h (Ui, Uj). . Here, the overlapping permutation is a set in which two items including the duplication are ranked and selected. For example, in the case of the set {U1, U2, U3}, (U1, U1), (U1, U2) ), (U1, U
3), (U2, U1), (U2, U2), (U2, U
3), (U3, U1), (U3, U2), (U3, U
9 sets of 3) are created. In the present embodiment, Ui, Uj
It is considered that as the answer distance h (Ui, Uj) becomes smaller, the correct answer becomes Ui, indicating that Uj is more likely to be selected. As the answer distance h (Ui, Uj) becomes larger, the correct answer becomes Ui. It is considered that this indicates that Uj is difficult to be selected. For example, h (Ui, Uj) = 1,
When h (Ui, Uk) = 2, in a problem in which Ui is the correct answer, the learner can easily select Uj rather than Uk.

In the present invention, the following method is considered when the learner solves the selection problem. (A) If there are any options that seem to be the correct answer, they are set as answer candidates. (B) If there are any options that do not seem to be correct, remove them from the candidates for answers. (C) When the answer candidates are narrowed down to one in the process of (a) and (b), the option is selected as the answer. (D) If the answer candidates cannot be narrowed down to one, one option is appropriately selected from the remaining ones.

In other words, when a learner asks for a problem that is easier than a certain problem (a problem that is a base point in determining a more difficult problem or an easier problem, hereinafter referred to as a target problem), As a result of the above trials (a) and (b), it is easy to narrow down the answer candidates to one, and it works so as to give a question in which the narrowed down option is the correct answer, and conversely, gives a more difficult question. At times, it may be considered that it may be difficult to narrow down to one, or it may be sufficient to work so as to give a question in which the narrowed down option is incorrect.

In a set of n terms to be set, k choices of the target problem are represented by {V1,..., Vk},
Assuming that the correct answer option is Vi, the correct answer option Ui of the question to be set next and k options {U1,..., Uk} including the correct answer option Ui are selected as follows.

In order to set a question that is easier than the target question, a term having a higher degree of selecting a correct answer is selected as a correct answer from the idea of (a), and an option other than the correct answer is selected from the idea of (b). Can be realized by selecting options so that they can be easily removed from answer candidates. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a set of k terms that satisfies (Equation 1) or (Equation 2) is extracted from the terms to be presented, and one of them is arbitrarily selected.

[0024]

(Equation 1)

[0025]

(Equation 2)

On the other hand, in order to set a question that is more difficult than the target question, from the idea of (a), a term having a lower degree of selecting a correct answer option is selected as a correct answer option, and (b)
Based on the above idea, it is considered that an option other than the correct answer can be realized by selecting an option that is harder to remove from the answer candidates. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a set of k terms that satisfies (Equation 3) or (Equation 4) is extracted from the terms to be presented, and one of them is arbitrarily selected.

[0027]

(Equation 3)

[0028]

(Equation 4)

For example, the term to be set is {physical record, logical record, variable length record, hard disk} (n = 4), the correct answer of the target question is “variable length record”, and the choices for the question are {logical record, Variable length record, hard disk # (k = 3). The method of selecting options when the learning status storage means is stored as shown in FIG. 3 is as follows.

When three words are extracted from the four terms to be set, there are 4C3 = 4 possible combinations ({physical record, logical record, variable length record},
{Physical record, logical record, hard disk},
{Physical record, variable length record, hard disk},
{Logic record, variable length record, hard disk}). In each of these four sets of terms, there are three correct term candidates.
4 = 12 cases (for example, term set g1:
In {Physical record, logical record, variable length record}, each physical record, logical record, and variable length record can be answered correctly.
Three options are obtained as candidates for the question choices: a question choice g1 with the correct answer of "physical record", a question choice g1 with the correct answer of "logical record", and a question choice g1 with the correct answer of "variable length record". Assuming that the correct answer is Ui (i = 1, 2, 3) for these 12 cases, h (Ui, Ui) and h (Ui, Uj) (j =
1 to 3, where j ≠ i) is obtained as shown in FIG.

The target problem is h (variable length record, variable length record) = 4, h (variable length record, logical record)
+ H (variable-length record, hard disk) = 13, so from FIG. 4, if a question easier than the target problem is set, 403 and 40 satisfy (Equation 1) and (Equation 2).
The set of terms shown in 7, 408, and 411 are candidates for question options, and any one of them is determined as a question option. If you have a question that is more difficult than the target question,
402, 405, and 4 satisfying (Equation 3) and (Equation 4)
A set of terms indicated by reference numerals 06, 409, and 410 are candidates for question options, and any one of them is determined as a question option.

However, when selecting an option for an easier problem, there is no term set that satisfies (Equation 1) and (Equation 2), or when selecting an option for a more difficult problem, If there is no term set that satisfies Equation 3) and Equation 4, both the correct answer choice and the question choice are the same as the target question.

Next, the operation of the learning status updating means 108 will be described. For a given question, the more times an option is chosen, the more likely the learner will choose that option the next time the question is asked,
The next time a question is asked, it can be considered that the learner is more likely not to choose that option.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the answer distance value is updated for all the sets in which the correct choice is the first rank and the question choice is the second rank, and the update is performed as follows. . The question choices are {U1, U2,..., Uk}, and the correct answer is Ui. Here, assuming that the choice selected by the learner is Uj, h (Ui, Uj) is incremented by one, and h (U ≠ j) is determined for the unselected Um (j な か っ m).
i, Um) by one.

For example, when the answer distance is as shown in FIG. 7 (A), if a question is given in FIG. 2 (A) and the learner answers "2", h (physical record, logical record) Decrease the value by 1 and increase the value of h (physical record, physical record) and h (physical record, hard disk) by 1 for the "physical record" of "1" and the "hard disk" of "3" that are not selected Thus, the data is updated as shown in FIG. When the answer distance is as shown in FIG. 7 (B), if FIG. 2 (A) is set and the learner answers "1", the answer is updated as shown in FIG. 7 (C). Note that h
The value of (Ui, Uj) is assumed to be from 0 to 10, and when the value of h (Ui, Uj) is already 0, the correct answer option Ui
The value of h (Ui, Uj) remains at 0 even if Uj is selected for the problem (1). Also, when the value of h (Ui, Uj) is already 10, even if Uj is not selected for the question of the correct answer Ui, h
The value of (Ui, Uj) remains at 10.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the operations of the above-mentioned option selecting means 103 and learning situation updating means 108. The question dealt with in this embodiment is a question with three choices. If the correct answer is given in the immediately preceding question, the next question will be a more difficult question. If the answer in the previous question is incorrect, the next question will be Easier questions shall be set, and the target questions shall be the questions set immediately before. In addition, since the answer distance cannot be defined for a term that has not yet appeared in the problem solved by the learner in the past, in the present embodiment, an intermediate value 5 between the minimum value 0 and the maximum value 10 of the answer distance is determined as the answer distance. Will be given as the initial value of.

As shown in FIG. 5, the teaching material storage means 101 holds a plurality of terms and a plurality of sentences explaining the terms, and all of these terms are candidates for the choice questions. Further, it is assumed that the learning condition storage means 102 stores answer distances for each term of the learner as shown in FIG. It is also assumed that the immediately preceding problem is the problem shown in FIG. The option selecting means 103 stores the correct answer number of the immediately preceding question and the question choices, and selects the correct answer option and the question choice of the next question based on these. If you answer incorrectly in the previous question (Fig. 2 (A)), based on the answer distance in Fig. 8,
A set of three terms satisfying (Equation 1) and (Equation 2) is taken out (FIG. 9A), and one selected arbitrarily from these is determined as a question choice. Last problem (Fig. 2
When a correct answer is obtained in (A)), a set of three terms satisfying (Equation 3) and (Equation 4) is extracted based on the answer distance in FIG. (B)), arbitrarily selected one of them is determined as a question choice. In FIGS. 9A and 9B, the first field is a correct choice.

After determining the correct answer option and the question option, the option selecting means 103 holds the question option and its correct number (step 601). Since the first question to be given to the learner has no target problem, three sets of terms are extracted at random and one of them is randomly selected as a correct answer choice.
Holds the correct answer number.

Hereinafter, the description will be made assuming that the question option 901 shown in FIG. 9B is selected. Question creation means 1
In step 04, a question as shown in FIG. 10 is created using the explanation of the correct answer option determined by the option selecting means 103 and the question options (step 602), and the question presenting means 105.
Presents a problem to the learner (step 603). The answer accepting means 106 accepts the answer of the learner. It is assumed that the learner has answered the number "2" (step 604).
The correct / incorrect judgment means 107 compares the correct answer number "1" held in the option selecting means 103 with the learner's answer number "2", and determines that the learner's answer is incorrect (step 6).
05). As described above, the learning status updating unit 108 updates the answer distance for all the sets in which the correct answer is the first rank and each of the question choices is the second rank. As a result, the learning status storage means 102 shown in FIG. 8 is updated as shown in FIG. 11 (step 606). Explanation making means 109
Creates an answer explanation based on the result of the right / wrong judgment means 107. The explanation of the term selected by mistake is taken out from the teaching material storage means 101, and an answer explanation as shown in FIG. 12 including this explanation is created (step 607). The comment presentation means 110 presents the answer comment to the learner (step 608). Also,
When the learner answers correctly, a commentary explanation as shown in FIG.
0 indicates the answer explanation to the learner. When the learning status storage means 102 becomes as shown in FIG. 14, the learner can correct any problem and ends the learning. FIG.
If the number has not reached 4, the process returns to step 601 to continue the learning. Learning is advanced by repeating the above.

In the present embodiment, the value of the answer distance of the set of two terms is from 0 to 10. However, as described above, some numerical value is given to the set of two terms, and at least the magnitude of the numerical value is given. Anything that expresses the ease of selecting the correct term by the system in the system is included.
Also, the smaller the numerical value, the easier it is to select, but the larger the value, the easier it is to select, the same effect is obtained.

Although the number of choices is three, the number is not limited to three.

Although the target question is always updated to be the immediately preceding question, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, when selecting an option, the target question may be appropriately selected based on some criteria.

In the present embodiment, the sentence explaining the term is used as the explanation data for explaining the term. However, the explanation data for the term is not limited to this, and may be a figure, a picture, a sound, or a moving image. Good.

Further, in the present embodiment, the problem in which the term is an option for the description of the term is described. However, the same effect can be obtained for the problem in which the explanation data for explaining the term is an option for the term. Is obtained.

[0045]

According to the present invention, it is easy for the learner to select one of the question options based on the problem the learner has worked on in the past and the student's answer to the problem. Is expressed as a numerical value, and based on this numerical value, by choosing the correct answer choice and the question choice, it is possible to control the difficulty of the problem and automatically generate a choice problem according to the learner's understanding situation, The learning effect can be improved.
