Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a timetable creating system and a timetable creating program, and more particularly to a timetable creating system capable of easily grasping the progress of a lesson with respect to a standard number of lessons for each subject determined for each academic year according to a learning guideline. , And a timetable creation program.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, at an educational institution such as an elementary school or a junior high school, a timetable showing the subjects of classes to be held corresponding to each time period of each day of the week as a weekly schedule has been created, and guidance by teachers etc. based on the timetable. Guidance is provided by the elderly.
[0003]
At this time, with the spread of computers in recent years, the instructor may easily create a timetable using various software, for example, functions of database software and spreadsheet software. In addition, there is also known one that is provided with a function specialized in creating a timetable for a part of software developed for an educational institution such as an elementary school (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0004]

[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, especially in elementary schools and junior high schools, the usual subjects determined by the above timetable, namely, national language, arithmetic (mathematics), science, society, foreign languages, music, physical education (health and physical education), home economics (technical / In addition to classes such as “home”, “arts and crafts” (art), synthesis, life, morals, special activities, and home rooms, it was necessary to carry out various events and activities that were determined in advance by an annual schedule. For example, entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, physical measurements, excursions, school excursions, school festivals, athletic meet, physical measurements, evacuation drills, class visits, home visits, and tripartite interviews are mentioned.
[0006]
At this time, the timetable created by the above-mentioned spreadsheet software cannot respond flexibly to changes in the timetable, so teachers in each class distribute verbal or so-called "class communication" to students. In many cases, changes in the class schedule were communicated.
[0007]
In addition, the number of lesson hours (= standard number of lessons) to be conducted every year is determined in advance for each subject according to the curriculum guidelines, and each school should try to approach the number of relevant lessons as much as possible. Had to be instructed. However, in order to interrupt the above-mentioned various events, etc., into the normal class schedule, the number of lesson units that have been conducted is ascertained (in other words, the number of unacquired lesson units is grasped), and the progress of the lesson or delay Judging the condition was not easy for the leader.
[0008]
Further, in elementary schools and the like, the class time per one time limit is often set to 45 minutes. However, in the case of subjects that involve practical skills and practical training such as drawing and home economics, or extracurricular classes, a break is placed between the 5th and 6th period, for example, without being limited to the class time per temporary period. In some cases, lessons were conducted continuously without a class or extended (or shortened) for a prescribed period of time. As a result, calculating the number of credits of the above-described conducted classes may be further complicated.
[0009]
In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a timetable creation system and a timetable creation program that can easily change the subject and the lesson time and can easily grasp the progress of each subject with respect to the number of lesson units. Things.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a timetable creating system according to the first aspect of the present invention provides a lesson number storage means for storing lesson number data in which the number of reference lesson units for each subject is predefined for each grade in a lesson number database. Basic setting means for setting basic class information including information on the year and class for which the timetable is to be created; and extraction for extracting the class number data for the target school year included in the basic class information from the class number storage means. Means, a period designating means for designating a period for creating the timetable, and the timetable having an assignment column which can be assigned to the subject at each intersection of a day of the week and a time period corresponding to the designated creation period. Table display control means for displaying the subject, and displaying the assignable subject in the allocation column of the time table based on the basic class information. Subject display control means for controlling the display of the number of units for displaying the standard number of units for each subject, the cumulative number of allocated units for each subject, and the number of unallocated units based on the extracted number-of-class data. Means, allocating means capable of allocating one selected from the plurality of subjects displayed by the subject display control means to the allocating section, and the cumulative allocation in conjunction with the allocating operation A unit number calculating means for calculating the number of units and the unallocated unit number, and associating the cumulative allocated unit number and the unallocated unit number calculated by the unit number calculating means with the basic class information, And an assignment information storage means for storing the assignment information, and an assignment information display control means for displaying the assignment information.
[0011]
Here, the number-of-classes data defines the number of class hours (= the standard number of class units) assigned to each grade in advance according to the curriculum guidelines and is stored in the class unit number database. I have.
[0012]
Furthermore, the basic class information is configured to include information on the year in which the timetable is created, the grade (the grade to be created), and the class. A corresponding timetable is created. Here, the created timetable is generally a weekly timetable showing the weekly schedule from Monday to Friday, and the weekly schedule including Saturday and Sunday, the weekly schedule, the school period, and the annual schedule with the extended period of creation May be a timetable indicating the following.
[0013]
In addition, subjects that can be assigned to the assignment column of the timetable include subjects that are unique to each grade, such as lifestyle subjects in lower grades of elementary school and science and society in middle and upper grades, and are assigned based on basic class information. Possible subjects are determined. It should be noted that the assignable subjects may include special time zones in school activities such as school lunches and cleaning time, in addition to general classes such as Japanese language and arithmetic. In addition, a part of the subject is formed by blank spaces, and the names of the above-mentioned annual events (eg, excursions and evacuation drills) can be arbitrarily input by the creator and can be assigned. Is also good.
[0014]
Therefore, according to the timetable creating system of the first aspect of the present invention, the number of lesson data in which the number of reference lesson units is defined is extracted based on the basic class information, and the number of reference lesson units associated with the timetable table corresponding to the creation period is further included. Is displayed on the screen. At this time, the cumulative number of credits allocated in the past and the number of unallocated credits that have not been allocated to the timetable are simultaneously shown in the timetable along with the reference number of credits for each subject by the data on the number of classes. Here, when a new timetable is created at the start of the fiscal year such as April, since the number of units is not calculated by the allocation described later, the cumulative number of allocated units = 0, the number of unallocated units is set as an initial value. = It will be displayed by subject as the standard number of lesson units.
[0015]
Then, in the assignment column provided at the intersection of each day of the week and each time period of the timetable, one of the subjects that can be assigned is selected from the list, and the assignment result is displayed on the screen by mouse operation or the like. The assignment is performed in the assignment column while checking. Then, such an operation is repeated a plurality of times, and the subject is assigned to each assignment column, whereby the timetable in the designated creation period is completed.
[0016]
At this time, the process of calculating the cumulative number of allocated units and the number of unallocated units is performed in conjunction with the operation of allocating the subject to the allocation column. Specifically, by assigning subjects to the assignment columns of the timetable, the process of increasing the cumulative number of allocated units (initial value = 0) by one is performed, while the number of unallocated units (initial value = Conversely, the process of reducing the number of standard lesson units by one is performed. Then, the result is accumulated and stored as allocation information, and the values of the cumulative number of allocated units and the number of unallocated units displayed on the screen are updated. This allows the user to create a timetable based on the cumulative number of allocated units and / or the number of unallocated units that change in real time in accordance with the assignment of the subject, and thereby allow the user of the system to generate the cumulative allocated units. Based on the number and / or the number of unallocated units, it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the lesson in a predetermined period such as the year.
[0017]
The timetable creating system according to a second aspect of the present invention is the timetable creating system according to the first aspect, wherein the timetable information changing unit changes time information including a start time and an end time of the time in the timetable, and Time change means for changing the lesson time of the subject assigned to the column, change calculation means for calculating the cumulative number of allocated units and the number of unallocated units based on the time limit information change means and the time change means, Is further provided.
[0018]
Therefore, according to the timetable creating system of the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the operation of the timetable creating system of the first aspect of the present invention, the start time and the end time of each time period and break time defined in the timetable are defined. By changing the provided time limit information, it is possible to create a timetable suitable for each school. For this reason, by changing the time limit information, the class time per one time limit can be extended from, for example, 45 minutes to 60 minutes, and the present invention can be applied to schools such as private schools that have their own curriculum.
[0019]
Further, it is possible to change the lesson time of the subject assigned to the assignment column by the time changing means. Thus, for example, in contrast to what is normally set as a temporary limit of 45 minutes, subjects such as drawing and home economics that involve practical skills and practical training can be flexibly handled especially when the class hours are extended. Becomes possible. The above-mentioned changes in the time limit information and class time are visually recognized on the screen by using a method such as a so-called “drag and drop” that is generally used in the operation of the current personal computer. It is possible to do something while doing it. The extension and shortening of the time can be performed, for example, in units of one minute, but it is particularly preferable that the operation is made easier by performing the change in units of five minutes.
[0020]
Further, in association with the change of the time period information and the class time, the change calculation unit calculates the cumulative number of allocated units and the number of unallocated units. In this case, as an example of the class time, when the class time of “Zukou” is extended from the usual 45 minutes to 60 minutes, the number of allocated units is changed from “1” to “1.33” according to the ratio of the extended time. Is added according to the ratio of the extension time (here, calculated as one unit number = 45 minutes). On the other hand, the number of unallocated units is similarly a value obtained by subtracting “1.33”. Here, an example in which the number of allocated units is expressed by a decimal number is shown, but these may be expressed by a fraction. Further, processing for rounding off or rounding down the value after the decimal point may be performed. Note that substantially the same processing is performed when the time period information is changed and the class time per temporary period is extended or shortened.

[0049]
Here, the timetable creation main screen 37 is located in the left half of the screen as shown in FIG. 7, the days W from Monday to Sunday are arranged in a row, and the time and each time period Q are shown in a column, and the day W And a timetable 3 having an assignment column 8 in which subjects 4 to be enrolled can be assigned at a location where the time period Q intersects, and an assignment column 8 of the timetable 3 located at the upper right side of the screen. A subject list section 38 in which subjects 4 that can be assigned by the basic class information 7 are displayed in a list, and a class number data 5 defined for the subject 4 or a reference corresponding to a change process, which is located on the lower right side of the screen. The number of units BU, the number of units AU accumulated in the current year N, and the number NU of unallocated units are mainly displayed together with the number-of-credits display section 39, which is displayed together with their respective totals.
[0050]
Then, the user creates the timetable 3 while watching the display of the timetable creation main screen 37. First, the start time, the start time and end time of each time period, the break time between the time periods, the lunch time, the cleaning time, etc., which are previously shown based on the initial setting values in the timetable 3 displayed on the left side of the screen. Is set (step S14). Here, the initial setting value (not shown) of the time limit information QI does not usually need to be changed because a value adopted in most schools is set. However, for example, when a private school has its own curriculum, it may be necessary to set the time limit information QI. Since the setting (change) operation is substantially the same as a class time TT changing operation described later, a detailed description is omitted here for the sake of simplicity, and the value of the above-described initial setting value is used as it is. The following timetable 3 will be created. Further, the change of the time limit information QI can be appropriately made during the assignment work of assigning the subject 4 to the assignment column 8 of the timetable 3 to be described later.
[0051]
Thereafter, one of a plurality of subjects 4 shown in the subject list section 38 is selected by operating means such as a mouse MS, and an assignment operation D to be assigned to the assignment column 8 is instructed. The allocation operation D is detected and accepted (step S15: see FIG. 8A). At this time, in the assignment operation D, the pointer P of the mouse MS is positioned on a desired subject 4 in the subject list unit 38, and the pointer P is moved while further holding down the left button of the mouse MS, and then assigned. A so-called “drag and drop operation” in which the finger is released from the left button on the assignment field 8, or the pointer P is placed on the subject 4 in the subject list section 39 and the left button is clicked once, and then the assignment field 8 is displayed. By placing the pointer P on the mouse and clicking, a variety of operation methods such as a "click operation" that allows the subject 4 to be allocated to each allocation column 8 can be performed. Here, in the subject 4 assigned to the assignment column 8, the class time TT (here, set as 45 minutes per temporary limit) is displayed so as to occupy one time limit Q in the initial state (FIG. 6, FIG. 6). 8 (a) etc.).
[0052]
At this time, in conjunction with the assignment of the subject 4 to the assignment column 8, the values of the cumulative assignment unit number AU and the unassigned unit number NU displayed on the unit number display section 39 of the timetable table creation main screen 37 change respectively. . More specifically, when one subject 4 occupies the lesson time TT of one time period Q, it is assumed that the number of assigned lesson units is increased by one to the value of the cumulative number of assigned units AU. The number is incremented by one (step S16). At the same time, one lesson of the number of lesson units is subtracted from the value of the number of unallocated units NU (step S17). Here, when the new timetable is created, the initial value = 0 is set for the cumulative allocation unit number AU, and one is added in conjunction with the assignment of the subject 4 by the allocation operation D. The relational expression of AU = cumulative allocation unit number + 1 "holds. On the other hand, the number of unallocated units NU is set as "initial value = the number of standard lesson units BU", and is decremented one by one at each allocation. Therefore, a relational expression of “number of unallocated units NU = number of unallocated units NU (initial value: reference class number BU) −1” is established.
[0053]
The calculation results of the unit numbers AU and NU obtained by the addition and subtraction are stored as allocation information DI in association with the basic class information 7 (step S18). A display is made to reflect the calculated allocation information DI (step S19). As a result, simply assigning the desired subject 4 to the assignment field 8 of the timetable 3 on the timetable creation main screen 37 can easily calculate the values of the unallocated units NU and the like that have conventionally required complicated calculations and labor. It is possible to comprehend, and it is possible to create the timetable 3 while recognizing the progress of the lesson. As a result, the distribution of each subject 4 to the timetable 3 can be equalized, and the progress of some subjects 4 is accelerated, while the progress of other subjects 4 is delayed. Will not occur. In addition, for the subject 4 whose progress is delayed, the timetable 3 for recovering the delay can be created, so that the correction can be made early.
[0054]
The subject 4 assigned to the assignment column 8 can be moved to an arbitrary position in the timetable 3 by the user's operation. If the assignment is made by mistake, the assignment operation D is canceled. The subject 4 can be deleted from the assignment column 8. In this case, the calculation of the accumulated number of allocated units AU and the number of unallocated units NU is also canceled, and the values return to the values before the allocation operation D.
[0055]
Furthermore, the timetable creation system 1 of the first embodiment can extend and shorten the lesson time TT for the subject 4 once assigned to the assignment field 8. Then, the timetable creation computer 2 detects the presence or absence of an operation instruction such as extension of the lesson time TT (step S20). When an instruction such as extension is received (YES in step S20), the class time TT is changed based on the operation with the mouse MS (step S21: see FIG. 8B), and the cumulative allocation unit is linked to the operation. The values of the number AU and the unallocated unit number NU are calculated again (step S22), and the calculation result is displayed on the unit number display unit 39 (step S23). In this case, if the lesson time TT that cannot be divided by one unit (45 minutes) due to extension or shortening is set, the corresponding part of the unit number display section 38 is displayed as a decimal number (see FIG. 7). . On the other hand, when there is no instruction such as extension (NO in step S20), the processing from step S21 to step S23 is canceled. Here, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), by moving the pointer P of the mouse MS to the assignment column 8 assigned to the timetable 3 on the timetable creation table creation main screen 37, it is displayed in the form of a balloon F. “Subject 4”, “class start time and end time”, and “class time TT” allocated to the allocation column 8 can be displayed.
[0056]
Thereafter, the timetable creating computer 2 detects the end of the assignment operation D, in other words, the presence or absence of an instruction to complete the creation of the timetable 3 (step S24). At this time, when all of the predetermined subjects 4 are allocated to the allocation column 8 to be allocated and a completion instruction is input by the user (YES in step S24), the completion instruction is received and the allocation operation D ends. (Step S25). On the other hand, when there is no instruction to complete the allocation operation D (NO in step S24), the process returns to step S15, and the subsequent steps are repeated to continue the allocation operation D of the subject 4.
[0057]
After the assignment operation D is completed, the timetable creating computer 2 waits for an instruction to output the completed timetable 3 by printing or not (step S26). Here, if there is an instruction to print the timetable 3 (YES in step S26), an instruction as to whether the character notation to be printed is either the kanji notation K or the hiragana notation H (step S27), and the layout is set for the teacher and student After receiving the instruction of the instruction (step S28), printout is performed (step S29).
[0058]
At this time, the timetable 3 to be printed according to the notation selection and the layout selection instruction can be different. Here, for example, in the lower grades of elementary school, unacquired kanji may be included in the subject name and the like, and the notation of the timetable 3 may not be completely understood. Therefore, by switching the character notation of the timetable 3 to hiragana notation (see FIG. 9 (a)) so that it can be understood especially in lower grades, the contents of the timetable 3 can be grasped even in lower grades. . On the other hand, print output can be selectively used for middle and upper grades, teachers, parents, and the like according to the target, such as using normal kanji notation (or a sentence mixed with kanji: see FIG. 9B). Further, the print output can be separated for the teacher and the student depending on the layout. For example, for a teacher, a time schedule for each time period Q and a time period such as a break time are used as a time schedule (FIG. 10). For students, only a subject 4 is allocated for each time period Q. It can be simple (see FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b), etc.) that is easy to understand visually.
[0059]
On the other hand, if there is no instruction to print (NO in step S26), the processing in steps S27 to S29 is cancelled. Thereafter, the presence or absence of an instruction to end the system is detected (step S30), and if there is an instruction to end (YES in step S30), the system is ended (step S31). On the other hand, when there is no end instruction (NO in step S30), the process returns to step S15, and the timetable table 3 is continuously corrected and added. In this case, the process may return to the process of step S2 and select a new timetable 3 or the like from the initial screen 30.
[0060]
As described above, the timetable creating system 1 according to the first embodiment can easily perform the operation D for assigning the subject 4 to the allocation column 8 using the mouse MS or the like, and can link the operation D with the operation D. Thus, the cumulative number of allocated units AU and the number of unallocated units NU with respect to the standard class unit number BU can be calculated in real time. As a result, the progress of the lesson with respect to the annual schedule and the like can be easily grasped while creating the timetable 3. In addition, for example, even if a lesson is conducted three times in units of 15 minutes for a quiz, etc., the lesson time TT can be treated as a temporary limit by summing up the lesson time TT. Further, the calculation of the unit numbers AU and NU can be performed easily.
[0061]
Furthermore, since the time limit information QI and the class time TT can be appropriately changed to arbitrary values, the timetable 3 with extension and shortening and the timetable 3 with various events incorporated therein can be easily created. It is possible to reduce the burden on the instructor such as the teacher who creates the timetable 3.
[0062]
Furthermore, since the character output and the layout can be arbitrarily selected as the print output format, the timetable 3 adapted to the distribution target can be distributed.
[0063]
Next, a timetable creation system 50 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the timetable 3a by the timetable creating system 50 of the second embodiment. Here, in the timetable creation system 50 according to the second embodiment, those having the same functions and configurations as those of the timetable creation system 1 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted here. I do.
[0064]
The timetable creating system 50 according to the second embodiment includes, in addition to the timetable creating system 1 according to the first embodiment, a creator (teacher) of the timetable 3 relating to the assigned allocation column 8 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The memorandum information display control means 51 for receiving and displaying the memorandum etc. as the memorandum information MI, and the belongings for receiving and displaying the preparations prepared by the teacher and the belongings prepared by the students in the subject 4 as the belonging information PI. It further has information display control means 52.
[0065]
Next, use of the timetable creation system 50 of the second embodiment will be described in more detail. Here, the flow of creating the timetable 3a is the same as that described in the timetable creating system 1 of the first embodiment, and thus detailed description is omitted here. As shown in FIG. 11, the timetable creating system 50 according to the second embodiment stores memorandum information as a memorandum (memo) related to the subject 4 assigned to each assignment column 8 with respect to the completed or in-progress timetable 3a. The MI can be input and displayed on the timetable 3a. Here, a specific example of the input operation will be described. The pointer P of the mouse MS is moved over the allocation column 8 in which the memorandum information MI is to be input, and a click operation is performed at the corresponding location. (Not shown) is opened. The creator who creates the timetable 3a enters the learning unit name to be implemented in the subject 4 in the memorandum entry field, the number of times the unit has been implemented (indicated by a fraction in FIG. 11), and the goal / purpose relating to the instruction. Arbitrary information including the number of pages of the textbook can be input as the memorandum information MI.
[0066]
When the input is completed and the memorandum input field is closed, the input memorandum information MI is displayed together with the subject name of the subject 4 assigned to the assignment field 8 of the timetable 3a. Here, the number of characters that can be input to the memorandum information MI is not particularly limited, but the number of characters that can be displayed in the allocation column 8 of the timetable 3 is limited. Displays only a part of the memorandum information MI. In this state, by clicking the assignment column 8 again, the memorandum input column is opened, and the contents of the memorandum information MI can be confirmed or edited such as addition, correction, and deletion.
[0067]
Further, in the lowermost column of the timetable 3a shown in FIG. 11, a belonging display column 53 corresponding to each day of the week (day) corresponding to the creation period T is provided. Note that the input of the property information PI to the property display field 53 is substantially the same as the input of the memorandum information MI described above, and thus a detailed input operation is omitted here. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 11, belongings information PI corresponding to each day of the week can be input and displayed. In the second embodiment, the memorandum information MI and the property information PI can be input to the completed timetable 3a. However, the input of the memorandum information MI and the like is performed in the allocation column 8. It may be performed together with the assignment operation D for assigning the subject 4.
[0068]
Further, the timetable 3a including the memorandum information MI and the property information PI described above can be printed by the layout changing unit 27. Thereby, the teacher can write down the unit of the textbook to be held or the number of pages of the textbook, and the timetable 3a can play a supplementary role for holding the planned lesson.
[0069]
Further, since the belongings information PI can be included and displayed in the timetable 3a, the teacher or the like can proceed with the preparation of each subject 4 with a margin. In addition, teachers must create so-called “weekly reports”. Therefore, the weekly report can be created with reference to the timetable 3a, so that the burden on the teacher can be reduced.
[0070]
Further, even if the teacher verbally communicates the necessary items to each subject 4, the intention of the teacher may not be sufficiently communicated, especially for lower grade students who often lack concentration and understanding. Therefore, by distributing the timetable 3a including the belongings information PI, it is possible to easily transmit necessary belongings to the parents of the students. Frequency can be reduced.
[0071]
As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various improvements can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.
[0072]
That is, in the timetable creation systems 1 and 50 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the reference number of credits BU indicates the reference number of credits per year for each school year based on the curriculum guidelines, but is not limited to this. Alternatively, for example, the standard number of lessons per semester or month may be used. Furthermore, the processing flow of the timetable creation computer 2 has been described based on the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0073]
In addition, although class C of the elementary school was selected and described as an object for preparing the timetable 3, the object of the preparation is not limited to the elementary school, and other than educational institutions such as kindergarten and junior high school, a cram school, a prep school, and The present system 1 can be applied to various institutions such as a culture center. In this case, it is possible to respond by changing the name of the subject 4 to various course names. In addition, the name of the subject 4 to be assigned may be arbitrarily changed even in an elementary school.
[0074]
Further, as the creation period T for creating the timetable 3, the one for creating the weekly schedule 3 for one week from Monday to Sunday is shown, but the creation period is not limited to this, and an arbitrary period may be designated. Can be. Further, the print control unit 25 may be capable of designating a printing period. That is, the created timetable 3 is selected from three modes: 1) a type for printing only on weekdays from Monday to Friday, 2) a type for printing with addition of Saturday, and 3) a type for printing with addition of Saturday and Sunday. It does not matter what you do. This makes it possible to easily cope with a case where a sports day or a parent visit is performed on Sunday or the like by changing the print output format.
[0075]
【The invention's effect】
