Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an education system using a computer, a question preparation system and a question preparation program used in the education system, etc., and a recording medium storing the program, and the field of education technology using a computer. Belong to.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various educational systems using the Internet have been proposed and put into practical use, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 10-274919 and 11-282826. The configuration of these systems will be described by taking the one disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-282826 as an example. In this system, a student terminal and an education business operator terminal can be connected to an electronic education server via the Internet. In addition to the above, the electronic education server has means for storing learning contents supplied from the education business operator terminal in a database or an image / sound file, and a means for storing the learning content in the database or file in response to a request from the student terminal. The data is used to generate a teaching material, and the teaching material is transmitted to the student terminal.

In this kind of education system, the problem such as level and importance is added to the problem to be provided to the students, and the attendance history and proficiency of each student are recorded to request the problem from the students. When there is a problem, the problem according to the learner is read out from the database based on the above attributes and provided, and it is usually possible to set the question according to the degree of proficiency of each learner. .

[0004]

However, the conventional education system has the following problems to be solved.

First, in any system, as described above, it is possible to set a question according to the degree of proficiency of the student.
Since the questions are selected from the questions that have been created in advance, if you try to choose the questions that are appropriate for the learner's proficiency, you will need to prepare and prepare a large number of questions in advance. It is necessary to keep it in advance, and it takes a lot of effort to create the problem.

[0006] Further, this kind of problem is usually provided for each unit or chapter of the commentary part of the teaching material, and is usually provided for confirming the degree of understanding of the commentary part after the learner learns the commentary part. However, in the case of the conventional system, there is a drawback that the explanation part can be skipped and the problem part can be skipped, and effective learning cannot be guaranteed.

Furthermore, when the student tries to repeatedly execute the problem of the same unit or the same chapter in order to improve his / her proficiency, exactly the same problem is presented unless the learning history or the like of the student is updated. Therefore, even if the learning history etc. is updated and the question is selected based on the new data about the student, the question given before is repeatedly given. In order to prevent this, many more problems must be prepared in advance.

If a large number of questions are prepared in advance and questions are appropriately selected from among the questions according to the attendees and the questions are to be presented, the capacity of the database is increased and the load of the server computer is increased. Etc., and the system becomes extremely large-scale.

Therefore, the present invention provides a problem creating system capable of solving the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional educational system while significantly reducing the trouble of creating the problem, and an educational system using the problem creating system. The task is to provide such information.

[0010]

That is, the present invention is characterized by having the following constitution in order to solve the above problems.

First, the invention according to claim 1 of the present application relates to a question creating system, which has a problem part and a correct answer part, and which records a problem template created by providing an undetermined part. Recording means, template calling means for calling the question template from the recording means, random number generating means, and an undetermined part of the question template called by the calling means based on the random number generated by the random number generating means. And a problem completion means for completing a problem unit having a problem part and a correct answer part.

According to the present invention, if an undetermined portion is provided and the question template created in advance is recorded in the recording means, it can be called as needed and the undetermined portion can be confirmed by using a random number. If so, a new problem will be created each time.

Therefore, a large number of questions will be created by creating a small number of templates, and the labor for creating questions will be significantly reduced. If this is used in an education system, for example, repeated questions will be presented at the same point in the teaching material. Even when executing, it is possible to set a different question each time. Further, when using as a test question, it is possible to give a different question each time in the same field, or give a different question to each examinee, without requiring labor for creating the question.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, in the system according to claim 1, there is provided template creation support means for supporting creation of a question template on a computer screen.

If the questioner clicks the next page button B1 of the learning window W1, W of the questioner's terminal 3
A next page request signal is sent from the eb browser to the server computer 1, and a signal including the URL of the next page is sent to the management tool 22 of the learning system 12. Then, the teaching material corresponding to the designated URL is called from the teaching material content 21, edited by the management tool 22, and then transmitted from the Web server 11 to the questioner's terminal 3 as the next page. Is displayed in the window W1. In that case, as indicated by the sign a,
The URL is detected by the hooking tool 31 of the testing system 13 and recorded as a page transmission history.

If the questioner clicks the next page button B1 of the learning window W1 to advance the page and reaches the place where the question is to be inserted, for example, when moving to the next unit, the questioner The template creation button B2 on the testing window W2 is clicked.

As a result, the management tool 32 of the testing system 13 is activated, and first, as indicated by the symbol c,
The latest URL recorded in the hooking tool 31,
That is, the URL of the page currently displayed in the learning window W1 is acquired, the template creation support tool 33 is activated, and the question pattern selection window is requested. Then, based on this request, the question pattern selection window is transmitted from the Web server 11 to the questioner's terminal 3 and displayed on the screen of the terminal 3.

As shown in FIG. 4, the question pattern selection window W3 displays the patterns of the five question templates together with their explanatory texts. For example, the "problem text random / independent type" with pattern number 1 is now selected. If it is selected, a window W4 for creating a question template of that pattern as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed.

The question template of this pattern is created by assigning unsettled points to the unsettled points using the symbols such as "{% 1}", "{% 2}" ... The range of parameters to be specified is specified in advance, and for the correct answer, the formula for calculating the answer is configured to be created using the above symbols. Within the range specified for each parameter If you apply a numerical value and substitute it for each undetermined part displayed with the above symbol,
The question sentence and the correct answer are completed. In addition,
The symbol “[% Cal {...}]” entered in the correct answer field means that the value calculated inside the brackets {} is displayed as a character string including positive and negative signs.

Then, in the window W4 for creating the template, input boxes T11, T12, T13 for respectively inputting the question sentence, the parameter designation information and the correct answer created as described above, and this template Input boxes T14 to T18, T19 for inputting the genre of five items as a key for searching and the difficulty level of the question are provided, and a preview button B11, a registration button B12, a cancel button B13, and a delete button are also provided. A button B14 and an end button B15 are provided.

After the question template having the above pattern is created using this window W4, when the questioner clicks the registration button B12 as shown by reference numeral D in FIG. 2, the testing system of the server computer 1 is clicked. The template creation support tool 33 in 13 registers the template in the template database 34 shown in FIG. Then, based on the instruction from the support tool 33, the template creation window W4 is deleted, and the question pattern selection window W3 of FIG. 4 is requested again, and the Web server 11
The pattern selection window W3 is transmitted to the questioner's terminal 3 via and is displayed on the screen.

When a question is to be inserted at the same place in the teaching material, if the question pattern is selected again on this window W3, the question creation window for the selected pattern is displayed. Then, when the template of the pattern is created, and when the insertion of the question at that part of the teaching material is finished, the creation of the question template is finished by clicking the return button B5 of the pattern selection window W3, Return the screen to the state shown in FIG.

Here, the template creation window W4
The registration state of the question template created above in the template database 34 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the database 34 is provided with a table T1 for registering the question template of the above pattern in advance. In each field of the table T1, the genre, the difficulty level, the question sentence, the parameter designation information and the correct answer of the five items input on the template creation window W4 are written as they are.

In addition to these input data, the URL acquired at the start of template creation, that is, the URL of the page currently displayed in the learning window W1
Is recorded as information indicating the insertion location of the problem.

Before submitting the created template, the questioner has a preview button B11 on the window W4.
You can click to see how the problem was completed based on the template you created.

In the preview window W5 displayed in this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the question sentence created on the window W4 is not displayed by substituting the parameter of the value determined within the specified range. It is displayed with the confirmed part confirmed, and for the correct answer,
A value calculated by substituting the above parameters into the undetermined part of the formula input in the correct answer field of the window W4 is displayed. Therefore, the questioner can use this preview window W
By referring to 5, it becomes possible to check whether or not an appropriate problem is generated by the created template.

Since the operation of finalizing the undetermined part of the template to complete the question sentence and the correct answer is the same as the operation when the question is given during the learning of the student, the following learning of the student is performed. It will be described in detail in the explanation of the questioning operation at time.

If the cancel button B13 of the template creation window W4 shown in FIG. 5 is clicked,
The problem template currently being created can be canceled, and further, if the end button B15 is clicked, the work of creating the problem template of the pattern is completed, the window W4 is deleted, and the problem pattern selection window shown in FIG. W3 is displayed again.

Further, when the template edit button B3 of the testing window W2 is clicked in the state shown in FIG. 3, the question template created for the page currently displayed in the learning window W1 is called from the database 34, and, for example, The contents are displayed in the template creation window W4 shown in FIG. Then, it is possible to edit or correct the question sentence, the parameter designation information, or the correct answer created in advance on the window W4. Then, if the registration button B12 is clicked, the registered contents in the database 34 are displayed. It will be updated to the edited contents. If the delete button B14 is clicked while the question template is called in the window W4, the template is deleted from the database 34.

Next, a case will be described in which the learner learns by using the teaching material in a state where the question template is inserted by the questioner as described above at a predetermined portion of the teaching material displayed as a Web page.

The operation flow of the system in this case is as shown in FIG. 8. First, if the student terminal 4 is connected to the server computer 1 via the Internet 2 using the Web browser, the learning system 12 creates it. The created web page is transmitted to the student terminal 4 and displayed on the screen. In this case, on the screen 4a of the student terminal 4,
Only the learning window W1 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, and the learner learns the content of the teaching material displayed as the Web page in the window W1.

Then, in order to understand the contents displayed in the learning window W1 and proceed to the next, the window W1
When the next page button B1 is clicked, the server computer 1 outputs the next page request signal including the URL from the management tool 22 of the learning system 12 as shown by the reference numeral in FIG. Based on the teaching material content 22, the teaching material corresponding to the URL is called based on the edited material, and then the Web server 1
1 is transmitted as a Web page to the student terminal 4 and displayed in the learning window W1 on the screen 4a.

At this time, in the testing system 13 of the server computer 1, as indicated by the symbol K,
The URL of the hooking tool 31 included in the signal output from the management tool 22 of the learning system 12
Is detected and it is determined whether or not the page corresponding to the URL is the problem insertion point. This determination is made by searching the question insertion location field of each table recorded in the template database 34 and determining whether template data including the same URL as the detected URL is recorded in any of the tables.

If the page displayed this time is not the problem insertion point, the management tool 32 of the testing system 13 does not operate, and the learning system 12 only transmits and displays the next page.

On the other hand, if the page displayed this time is the question insertion point, the management tool 32 of the testing system 13 detects the detected URL, as indicated by the symbol K in FIG.
Is called from the database 34 and the problem unit is created according to the program described later. Then, the request signal of the question window displaying at least the problem portion of the question unit is output, and in response to this, the question window is transmitted from the Web server 11 to the student terminal 4 and displayed on the screen.

This question window is the same as the preview window W5 displayed when the questioner makes a preview when creating a template, and is displayed as shown in FIG. 7, for example. In this case, the correct answer shown in FIG. Window W5 'is not displayed.

Then, the learner receives this question window W
The question displayed in No. 5 is solved, the answer is entered in the answer input box T14, and then the grading button B16 is clicked. At this time, in the testing system 13 of the server computer 1 which has obtained the answer. ,
As indicated by the reference numeral in FIG. 8, the management tool 32 compares the answer with the correct answer created based on the template, and determines the correctness of the answer from the student.

If the answer is correct, the management tool 32
Outputs the request signal for the Web page corresponding to the URL again, and in response to this, the Web server 11 sends the page to the student terminal 4 and displays it on the learning window W1. This allows the learner to proceed with the learning next.

On the other hand, when the answer sent from the student is wrong, the management tool 32 of the testing system 13 newly rewrites it based on the template read out from the database, as indicated by the symbol U. Create a question and output the request signal of the question window that displays the question. Then, in response to this, the question window is transmitted from the Web server 11 to the student terminal 4 and displayed on the screen.

In this case, as will be described later, the same template is used, but a problem different from the one initially given is created. Therefore, the learner will repeatedly solve different problems of the same type until the correct answer is obtained, and the learning content will be effectively acquired. Then, when the correct answer is given, the next web page is displayed, and the learning is advanced, as in the case described above.

Now, each pattern of the problem selected in the above-mentioned problem pattern selection window W3 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

The "problem text random / independent type" of pattern number 1 is the one shown in FIG. 5 used in the above description, in which an undetermined portion to be randomized is provided in the question sentence, and a parameter to be inserted into that portion. The range is specified in advance, and the formula for calculating the answer is also created using the above parameters. Then, by randomly determining the parameters within the above range and substituting them into the undetermined part, the question sentence and the correct answer are completed.
The template created with this pattern is database 3
The table T1 and the question window W5 of the completed question, which are used when being registered in No. 4, are as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, respectively.

The "problem sentence random / dependent type" of pattern number 2 in the pattern selection window W3 is "{@ 1}", "{@ 2}" in the question sentence as shown in the template creation window W6 of FIG. Parameters that are inserted into a plurality of undetermined portions provided using symbols such as, ... Are dependent on each other, and a plurality of sets of parameters to be inserted into those portions are prepared in advance as a set. And randomly select one from multiple sets,
By substituting the parameters of the set into the question sentence, the question sentence and the correct answer can be fixed.

The table T2 for registering the template created in this pattern in the database 34 and the completed questioning window W7 are as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, respectively, but are displayed in the window W7 of FIG. The problem is that the contents are determined by using the fifth parameter set shown in the template creation window W6 of FIG.

As shown in the parameter creation window W8 of FIG. 12, the "choice random type" of the pattern number 3 of the pattern selection window W3 prepares wrong choices as other choice candidates in advance in addition to the correct choice. Aside from this incorrect choice, the choices are randomly selected so that the total number of correct answers is the specified number, and they are randomly rearranged to complete the alternative part of the problem. .

The table T3 for registering the template created in this pattern in the database 34 and the completed questioning window W9 are as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, respectively, but are displayed in the questioning window W9 in FIG. The problem that has been raised is the case where the remaining six countries, excluding Poland and Luxembourg, are randomly selected as error candidates from the other option candidates entered in the template creation window W8 of FIG. Then, the correct answer is, but this number also changes every time a question is given by randomly rearranging the options.

In addition, "problem sentence random / fill-in place selection type" of pattern number 4 in the pattern selection window W3
As shown in the template creation window W10 of FIG. 15, the question sentence is provided with a plurality of places to be filled in advance, and a designated number of places is randomly selected from these places to fill in the places to fill in the question. And
In addition, options are prepared in advance that correspond to all the hole-filling points and those that do not correspond to any of the hole-filling points. Of these, the correct answer corresponding to the point selected as the hole-filling point at the time of the question And the other options that are randomly selected are combined to form the option part of the problem.

The table T4 for registering the template created in this pattern in the database 34 and the question window W11 for the completed question are as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, respectively, and the question window W11 in FIG.
The question displayed in is filled in with correct words in advance for "% 1" and "% 3" among the four filling points of the question sentence input in the template creation window W10 of FIG. Only "% 2" and "% 4" are the places to fill in the questions.

Further, the "choice of choice random / question sentence linked type" of pattern number 5 in the pattern selection window W3 is
As shown in the template creation window W12 of FIG. 18, an undetermined portion displayed with symbols such as “% 1”, “% 2”, ... Is provided to create the calculation formula in the question sentence, and the correct answer and other Create a wrong choice and using the above symbol, by substituting the parameters randomly determined in the pre-specified range to the undetermined portion represented by the symbol, the question sentence, the correct answer, and It was designed to complete other options.

The table T5 for registering the template created in this pattern in the database 34 and the question window W13 of the completed question are as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, respectively. The question window W13 of FIG.
The question displayed in is the calculation formula “% 1” in the question sentence input in the template creation window W12 of FIG.
“3%” and “2” are randomly substituted from the specified range as parameters to “% 2”, and “[% Cal in the formula entered in the correct answer field of the template
“{% 1 +% 2}]” becomes “+5”, and “[% C
"al {% 1 *% 2}]" becomes "+6", whereby the expression in the question sentence is fixed as "x ² + 5x + 6" and the correct answer is "(x + 3)", as shown in the question window W13 in FIG. (X + 2) ”, and the wrong choices are also confirmed as shown in the figure.

Note that the template shown in the template creation window W14 in FIG. 21 is an example of the "random choice type" of pattern number 3, but in this example, image data is used. This image data is stored in advance in the multimedia database 35 shown in FIG. 1 as a file, and the path to the file is specified when the template is created.

Therefore, for this type of template, when it is registered in the table T6 of the template database 34, the path to the file is recorded as shown in FIG. Then, at the time of questioning, as shown in the questioning window W15 of FIG. 23, items to be displayed as options other than the correct answer are randomly selected from the candidates input in the template creating window W14, and the rearrangement is performed at random. When the option portion of the question is completed, the image data is read from the multimedia database 35 according to the above path and displayed in the question sentence. Audio data can be used as the multimedia data in the same manner.

Next, based on the various templates created as described above, the management tool 32 of the testing system 13 that actually creates the question to be given to the students when the user goes to a predetermined page of the teaching material. The operation will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, the main routine of the questioning operation will be described. It is found that the URL of the page detected by the hooking tool 31 when the student goes to a predetermined page of the teaching material is the page of the question. When judged,
The management tool 32 determines each table T of the template database 34 in step S1 of the flowchart of FIG.
The question template in which the URL is recorded is extracted from 1 to T6. Then, based on the template, the question sentence, the option group, and the correct answer are created in steps S2 to S4.

The creation of the question sentence in step S2 is performed as shown in FIG.
It is carried out by the subroutine whose flowchart is shown in 5.
First, in step S11, the content of the extracted question template is analyzed. The analysis content in that case differs depending on the pattern of the template. For example, it is analyzed whether or not there is an undetermined portion in the question sentence, and if so, how many are present.

Then, in step S12, for example, as shown in FIG.
When it is determined that there is an undetermined part in the question sentence as in the templates shown in FIGS. 9, 15, and 18, next, in step S13, the random number generation tool provided in the management tool 32 is operated, and this time. Generate as many random numbers as needed in the template. For example, in the case of the template shown in FIG. 5, since there are four parameters, four random numbers are also generated, and in the case of the template of FIG. 9, since the parameters are a set, which set should be selected. One random number for determining will be generated.

Then, in step S14, the generated random number is used, and a parameter or parameter set to be substituted for the undetermined part is defined in advance, for example, the integer part of the value obtained by multiplying the random number by a predetermined value is used as the parameter value. It is decided according to the rules such as the value of the parameter set number and the parameter set number. In that case, if there are conditions such as the specified range of parameters,
When a parameter that does not match the condition is generated, a random number is generated again and the parameter is decided again. Then, if the parameters are determined, step S15
Then, the parameter is embedded in the question sentence to complete the question sentence.

Next, in step S16, the question sentence created using the same template previously recorded in the memory is compared with the question sentence completed this time. As a result of this comparison, if both question sentences are the same, the above step S
13 to S15 are repeatedly executed, and the question sentence is created again using the newly generated random number. If it is different from the previous question sentence, the question sentence is recorded in the memory for the next comparison in step S17.

Therefore, for example, when the student tries to answer a question repeatedly at the same part of the teaching material, when the question unit is completed again based on the same template, the same random number is accidentally generated by the random number generation means. When the same question sentence as the previous one is created due to, for example, another question sentence is created again and sent to the student. The question sentence is the server computer 1
If you record it on the hard disk etc. provided in the, the same question sentence as the previous time will be created even if you try to answer the question again at the same part of the teaching material after the learning is finished. Will be avoided.

The creation of the option group in step S3 of the main routine is performed by the subroutine shown in the flowchart in FIG. 26. First, in step S21, it is determined whether or not the template extracted this time has an option portion. Then, for example, when there is an option portion as in the templates shown in FIGS. 12, 15, and 18,
In step S22, option information, for example, information such as the total number of options displayed in the question option portion and the number of incorrect options among them, is analyzed.

Next, in step S23, a necessary number of random numbers are generated, and the options to be included in the option group are extracted from the candidates based on the random numbers. Note that in the template of FIG. 18, all the candidates are included in the option group displayed in the question, and therefore it is not necessary to extract the options.

Then, in steps S25 and S26, the content of each option is determined by analysis of each option displayed in the option group and editing based on the analysis result.
This is performed when editing such as calculation processing is required to complete the options themselves, as in the template shown in FIG. 18, whereby the confirmed options are created as shown in FIG. It Then, in step S27,
Randomly rearrange each option by an appropriate method to complete the option part in question.

Further, the creation of the correct answer in step S4 of the main routine is performed by the subroutine shown in the flowchart in FIG. 27. First, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the template extracted this time has an alternative portion. Then, for example, when there is an option part as shown in the templates shown in FIGS. 12, 15, and 18, in step S32, the option part created as described above is analyzed, and when the option part is created, The correct answer is decided based on information.

For example, in the template shown in FIG. 12, as the information at the time of creating the option portion, "UK",
Since it is known that "Switzerland" is the correct answer, the numbers of the correct answers are analyzed as a result of the option group including them being randomly rearranged, and that number is set as the correct answer. is there.

Further, for example, like the template shown in FIG. 5, if the option portion does not exist but the calculation is required to determine the correct answer, step S3
1, S34 to S35 are executed, the answer is calculated using the determined parameter, and the obtained value is set as the correct answer.

By the way, in the education system according to the present embodiment, as described above, the questioner and the student access the server computer 1 via the Internet 2 to access the Web
Although it is premised that the questions are created and learned above, it is also possible to use only the testing system 13 of the server computer 1 to create the questions for the test to be conducted at a school or a private supplementary school. Then, the operation of the testing system 13 in that case will be described.

The operation in this case is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 28. First, in step S41, the template of the question to be asked is set in each of the template database 34 by using the genre name of five items, the degree of difficulty, etc. as keywords. Extract from tables T1 to T6. next,
In step S42, a plurality of templates to be used as a test by actually creating a question from the extracted question templates are selected, and in step S43, one template for first creating the question is extracted.

Then, in steps S44, S45, and S46, a question sentence, a group of options, and a correct answer are created for the template. These steps are shown in FIG.
It is executed according to the above-mentioned subroutine shown in 5 to 27. Therefore, the undetermined part of the template is determined based on the random number generated by the random number generation tool, and it is different every time while using the same template. Problems will be created.

Next, in step S47, the completed question and the correct answer are recorded in the question database 36 and the correct answer database 37 shown in FIG.
In step 48, it is determined whether or not the questions for all examinees to be taken this time have been created, and the questions and correct answers for all the examinees are created for one template until step S44 described above.
~ S47 is repeatedly executed. In that case, different questions will be created and recorded for each examinee for the same template, as described above.

If the questions and correct answers for all examinees are created for the first template, then step S49 is executed to check whether or not the questions have been created for all the question templates selected in step S42. If it is determined that the template has not been completed, the next template is extracted in step S43, and the template is extracted in step S4.
Repeat steps 4 to S48 to create and register questions for all examinees.

As described above, a plurality of types of questions are created with different contents for each examinee.
Then, in step S50, these questions are read out from the question database 36 and printed for each examinee using the printer 38 shown in FIG. As a result, as a test question for all the examinees, a test sheet in which the correct answer is printed for each examinee even if it is the same kind of question is obtained.

Here, in addition to printing out the problems recorded in the problem database 36 as described above, the problems are recorded in a terminal provided in the classroom for each student or a terminal provided in each student's home. It may be distributed and the test may be executed using these terminals. In any case, the correct answer data recorded in the correct answer database 37 is used at the time of scoring after the end of the test.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to an educational system for students and students in schools and cram schools. However, the present invention is intended for general working people or for employee education in a company. The same applies to systems and the like.

[0101]

As described above, according to the present invention, if a question template provided with an undetermined part is created and recorded in advance, this is called as needed and the undetermined part is called by using a random number. By confirming, a new question will be created each time. So creating a few templates creates a lot of problems,
