Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lesson support method and system using a network system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the effectiveness of a lesson that a teacher gives to a student in a classroom, first of all, the student goes to the classroom and participates in the lesson, that is, attends and the teacher advances. It is required to take classes and acquire the lesson contents that the teacher aims for. However, the reality is that there are many unscrupulous students on the student side who are enthusiastic about how to skip classes. For example, when attending before the class starts, students who are actually absent from the class but act as if they were attending by acting as replies on behalf of the absentee. There may be mischief or bad cooperation between them.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the first place, it would take too much time for a teacher to call each student and attend while checking them with their eyes and ears.

Therefore, it has been attempted that each student carries an ID card and the student reads his or her ID card through a card reader before class. In that case, the card reader is used as a terminal device of each student. Since it is costly to install them individually, it is common to install two to three card readers in each classroom. In this method, when taking attendance, I
There is a traffic jam when passing the D card through the card reader, and it is not possible to take attendance smoothly. Further, in this method, if the student forgets to carry the ID card, the administrator needs to issue another card, which is a problem in terms of operation. In addition to this method, the ID card can be given to a third party to make it easy to take an attendance illegally, and there is no way to confirm even after leaving the class through the ID card, and the attendance status of the class can be grasped. It did not reach widespread use as a system.

In place of the portable ID card, a system for surely identifying the person and preventing fraud by fingerprint detection or retina diagnosis has been developed, but this method is costly and solves the above-mentioned traffic congestion problem. You cannot do it.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a lesson support method and system which can confirm the attendance status of the student himself / herself relatively easily and at low cost without spending much time.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in the lesson support method of the present invention, each student inputs a specific keyword requested by a teacher from a student terminal provided for each student. The keyword is transmitted to the server via the network, the server collates the keyword requested by the teacher with the keyword input by each student, and the attendance status of each student is confirmed by the result of the collation.

Further, the lesson support system of the present invention comprises a teacher terminal, a server, and a plurality of student terminals which are connected via a network, and the student terminal sends a specific keyword requested by the teacher and input by the student via the network. To the server, the server collates the keyword transmitted from each student terminal with the keyword requested by the teacher, stores the result of the collation for each student terminal, and the teacher terminal stores the collation stored in the server. It is characterized in that the result is displayed on at least the teacher terminal upon request.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS <Structure of Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows the overall structure of a system for carrying out the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, each of a plurality of students has a student terminal 1, and each student terminal 1 can be connected to a teacher server 3 via a network 2, for example, a school LAN. A teacher terminal 4 is connected to the teacher server 3 via the network 2. A third party terminal 5 can also be connected to the network 2. Each student is assigned a unique student ID, and in some cases has a password for enabling his / her student terminal 1. The student ID may be set in the student terminal 1 in advance or may be set at each lesson.

[0012] In a normal class, this network system allows communication between a teacher and a student via the network 2 between the student terminal 1 and the teacher terminal 4 as needed, for example, the teacher submits a question to the student. Students' answers are submitted. However, a feature of this system is that each student carries out the implementation through each terminal, as will be described later. The content of communication between the teacher terminal 4 and the student terminal 1 is stored in the teacher server 3 and can be viewed by the teacher terminal 4 and the third party terminal 5 as needed.

<Operation of the Embodiment> Referring to the flow chart shown in FIG. 2 and the schematic diagrams shown in FIGS.
The operation of the lesson support system shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

When each student and teacher enter the classroom, first, their student terminals 1 and teacher terminals 4 are connected to the network 2. On the display screen 6 (FIG. 4) of the teacher terminal 4, the teacher
The lesson start column 7, the understanding level column 8 and the lesson end column 9 are checked (step ST1). Next, the teacher inputs whether or not the class starts (step ST2). If class starts, display the title of "Attendance" 10 (step ST3)
Prepare each student for attendance. Next, it is confirmed whether or not the class is over (step ST4). After class,
The title "End" 11 is displayed (step ST
5). If the understanding level is confirmed, the title of "understanding" 12 is displayed (step ST6).

Here, on the teacher terminal 4, as shown in FIG. 4, the teacher-specific ID 13, name 14, password 15,
Enter a specific keyword 16 and confirm button 17
push. For the confirmation of attendance, the keyword 16 is set each time that the student does not know unless he / she actually attends, and the teacher typically conveys the keyword to the student, typically verbally. Input to the teacher terminal 4. Next, on the next screen, the teacher inputs "society" 18 in the case of a lesson subject, for example, a social studies lesson, as shown in FIG. 5 (step ST7). This completes the preliminary work of the teacher before the class starts.

On the display screen 19 (FIG. 3) of the student terminal 1, each student inputs an ID 20, a name 21, a password 22 and the like peculiar to each student, and further inputs a keyword 23 heard from the teacher and clicks a confirmation button 24. Push (Step ST
8).

In the server 3 on the teacher side, the network address, each personal information and each keyword are collated for each individual, and between the teacher terminal 4 and the student terminal 1 depending on the attendance rate of the students and the progress of the lesson. The degree of understanding of the student is calculated based on the question (question submission) from the teacher and the correctness of the student's answer to the question, and these are stored in the attached database (step ST9). A student answers a question (problem) submitted to the student terminal 1 through the teacher terminal 4 orally in order to confirm the degree of understanding of the student in the course of the lesson. The answers of the students are totaled and stored by the server 3 for each student. As an example, the result list 26, which will be described later, shows a case where there is a correct answer “645” and other wrong answers to the question “What year is the Dahua reform in the Christian era?”.

The teacher pushes the list button 25 on the display screen 6 of the teacher terminal 4 to display the result list 26, such as ○: attendance / correct answer, ×: mismatch / incorrect answer,-: absent / unanswered, etc. The attendance status and answer status for each student can be browsed by using such symbols (step ST10).

In addition to the teacher, for example, an assistant or an office administrator can view the attendance status of the class by inputting a predetermined password on the third party terminal 5.

<Effects of the Embodiments> As described above, in the above-mentioned lesson support system, even if the class shifts from the class unit of fixed class class to the class unit of proficiency level in the future. , If the class teacher has obtained the password, it will be possible to check the attendance of the students in the class and provide detailed student guidance before the class according to proficiency level ends.

In addition, each student inputs a keyword issued by the teacher into his / her own student terminal 1 to confirm attendance at the beginning of the lesson and whether the attendance has been completed at the end of the lesson. Through 1 and 4, it is possible to grasp without much cost and time.

Further, in order for the teacher to confirm the degree of understanding of the student in the course of the lesson, the teacher submits a question from the teacher to the student from the teacher terminal 4, and each student inputs the answer to the question from the student terminal 1 and the teacher inputs the answer. By submitting to the terminal 4, the collation result of the answer from each student and the correct answer is displayed on the teacher terminal 4 as the result list 26, and the teacher can see it and immediately understand the degree of understanding of each student. be able to.

[0021]

According to the present invention, the student terminal is used to
By making each student input the keyword requested by the teacher in the classroom from each student terminal, the attendance status of each student can be efficiently confirmed. In addition, since it is possible to easily check the degree of understanding of the student during the lesson, the question asked by the teacher from the teacher terminal is compared with the answer entered by the student from the student terminal, and the result is stored in the server. Can be stored in. Further, by letting the students input the same or different keywords as those at the beginning at the end of the lesson, it is possible to know whether or not each student has attended the lesson to the end. These pieces of information can be viewed even by a third party terminal that knows the correct password.
