Further, the server executes scoring based on the answer information, and transmits the scoring result to the student terminal.

JP 2003-208090 A

  In the conventional learning system, when a student makes a mistake, the mistake and the correct answer are only transmitted. Therefore, since the student did not give information on why the student made a mistake about the problem, the student himself sometimes even memorized the correct answer, and it was difficult to enhance the learning effect.

  In addition, it is difficult to prepare in advance what kind of mistake the student will make, which is very time-consuming.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a learning system that can solve such problems and efficiently enhance the learning effect of students.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a learning system that can increase the motivation for learning of each student by using the information on each student's terminal as the latest information when questions are given to a plurality of students.

  A learning system according to the present invention is a learning system including a questioner's terminal and a plurality of student terminals connected to the questioner's terminal via a communication network, wherein the questioner's terminal includes: Means for comparing the answer information transmitted from the student's terminal with correct answer information, executing a scoring process and transmitting a scoring result to the student's terminal, and the reason for the wrong answer from the student's terminal Means for receiving an incorrect answer message and storing it in an incorrect answer message storage means; and if the result of the scoring is an incorrect answer, retrieves an incorrect answer message for the same wrong answer of the same problem from the incorrect answer message storage means. Means for transmitting the error message to the student terminal when there is a corresponding error message, and the student terminal sends answer information for the question input by the student to the questioner terminal. Means for receiving, marking means for receiving and displaying the scoring result from the questioner's terminal, means for transmitting an error message input by a student to the questioner's terminal, and an error answer from the questioner's terminal Means for receiving and displaying a message.

  In particular, the questioner's terminal includes means for transmitting the question information stored in the question information storage means to the student's terminal, and the student's terminal receives the problem information transmitted from the questioner's terminal. It is preferable to provide a means for displaying.

  In addition, when the questioner's terminal receives an error message from the student's terminal, the questioner's terminal may further include means for immediately transmitting the error message to each student's terminal.

The questioner terminal further includes means for calculating the rank of each student according to the scoring result, and means for transmitting the calculated rank information to the terminal of each student. In the case where the rank information is received from the terminal, a means for immediately displaying the rank information may be provided.
Another learning system according to the present invention is a learning system comprising a questioner's terminal and a plurality of student terminals connected to the questioner's terminal via a communication network, wherein the questioner's terminal Means for comparing the answer information transmitted from the student terminal with correct answer information, executing a scoring process and transmitting the scoring result to the student terminal, and an error message including the reason for the error If the result of the scoring is an incorrect answer, the error message storage means searches for an error message for the same answer of the same problem from the error message storage means, and there is a corresponding error message. Means for transmitting the error message to the student's terminal when
The student terminal includes: means for transmitting answer information to the question input by the student to the questioner's terminal; means for receiving and displaying the scoring result from the questioner's terminal; and the questioner's terminal. Means for receiving and displaying an error message.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the learning system which can raise a student's learning effect efficiently can be provided. In addition, according to the present invention, when a question is given to a plurality of students, there is provided a learning system capable of increasing each student's willingness to learn by making the information on each student's terminal always the latest information. be able to. In particular, if an error message is distributed by video information, the learning effect can be further enhanced.

  One of the features of the learning system according to the present invention is that an error message can be registered. Specifically, when the answer input by the student is incorrect, a message input screen indicating why the answer was incorrect is displayed. At this time, the message input by the student is an erroneous answer message. This error message can be viewed by students who have made the same error later. Therefore, students can know the reason why their answer was wrong and can improve the learning effect. In addition, since the student himself / herself entered the reason for the wrong answer when making a mistake, it will be used for studying the student himself / herself. Since it is not necessary, it will also reduce the labor of the questioner. In fact, it is difficult for a tester who is familiar with the problem to estimate what kind of error will occur. Furthermore, if you ask many students about the same problem, you will get various valuation mistakes and their reasons. As a result, the reason can be presented as appropriate even if any wrong answer occurs.

  Here, the reason for the wrong answer will be described with a simple example.

It is assumed that the questioner's problem is a mathematical problem “find the value of x when x−6 = 3”. In this case, the correct answer is “x = 3 + 6 = 9”, but there is also an erroneous answer that “x = 3-6 = −3” without inverting the sign when shifting. For the student who made such an incorrect answer, the user is made to input the reason why the error is made, that is, the reason for the incorrect answer. In this example, the student inputs the message “Missing error” as the reason for the wrong answer. After that, when another student answers the same wrong answer, that is, “−3” for the same question, the above-mentioned message “Movement error” is displayed.
As another example, assume that the questioner's problem is a mathematical problem of “2x−6 = 10”. In this case, the correct answer is “x = (10 + 6) ÷ 2 = 8”. However, the sign is not inverted when shifting, and “x = (10−6) ÷ 2 = 2”. There is a possibility of an incorrect answer “x = 10 + 6 = 16” without dividing by “1”, and an incorrect answer “16/2”. In these cases, the messages “transition error”, “division required by 2”, and “reduction required” are displayed.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a learning system according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, a communication network 3 for connecting the questioner's terminal 1, the student's terminal 2, and the terminals 1 and 2 is provided.

  Among these, the user information DB (database) 131 stores information related to students registered by the user registration processing program 121. For example, the information about the student includes a user ID (user identification information such as a user number), a password, a class, a name, a grade, and the like.

  The problem information DB 132 stores a problem ID (problem number), problem information, correct answer information, and answer information in association with each other. The answer information includes answer information from each student and the student user ID. The problem information is not necessarily included. For example, when separately writing a problem on a whiteboard or blackboard, when distributing printed paper on which a problem is printed to students, or when conveying a problem verbally, the problem information needs to be included in the problem information DB 132 Absent.

  The rank information DB 133 stores a user ID, a total score of each student, and rank information. Furthermore, you may include a correct answer rate.

  In this learning system, a student who has input an incorrect answer to a question can input a message notifying the student who made the same error why the answer was incorrect. Such a message is stored in the error message DB 134. The message is stored in association with the problem ID, user ID, and incorrect answer information. The wrong answer message stored in the wrong answer message DB 134 can be appropriately added, corrected, and deleted by the questioner.

  The mail information DB 135 stores information on mail exchanged between students. The chat information DB 136 stores chat information exchanged between students.

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the student terminal 2. As shown in the figure, the terminal 2 includes a control unit 21, a program storage unit 22, and a data storage unit 23. The control unit 21 includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The control unit 21 develops an application program stored in the program storage unit 22 and a basic program (not shown) on the RAM, and executes various processes.

  The program storage unit 22 is a storage unit that stores an application program (application program) for realizing the learning system according to the present invention, and is realized, for example, on a hard disk device. The application programs stored in the program storage unit 22 include a user registration program 221, a problem processing program 222, a mail processing program 223, and a chat processing program 224.

  The user registration program 221 is a program for executing user registration required for each student to use the present system. This user registration program 221 executes processing on the terminal 2 side of the user registered student.

  The problem processing program 222 is a program that executes various kinds of processing such as question assignment, answering, and scoring, and executes core processing in the learning system of the present invention. This problem processing program 222 executes processing on the student's terminal 2 side. The processing of the program 222 will be described in detail later using a flowchart and the like.

  The mail processing program 223 executes processing for exchanging mail between students. The chat processing program 224 executes processing when chatting between students.

  The data storage unit 23 is a storage unit that stores data used in the learning system according to the present invention, and is realized, for example, on a hard disk device. The data storage unit 23 constitutes a so-called database, which includes a user information DB (database) 231, a problem information DB 232, a rank information DB 233, an error message DB 234, a mail information DB 235, and a chat information DB 226. As described above, the data storage unit 23 of the student terminal 2 stores the same data as the data storage unit 13 of the questioner terminal 1. When data in the data storage unit 13 of the questioner's terminal 1 is updated, in principle, the data is transmitted to the student's terminal 2 via the communication network 3 and stored in the data storage unit 23. For this reason, the student's terminal 2 always stores the latest data.

  Among these, the user information DB 231 stores information about students registered by the user registration processing program 221. The question information DB 232 stores the question ID (question number), the question information, and the answer information of the student to be used in association with each other, but the correct answer information is not stored.

  The rank information DB 233 stores score and rank information of each student. Furthermore, you may include a correct answer rate. The error message DB 234 stores an error message. The message is stored in association with the problem ID and incorrect answer information. The e-mail information DB 235 stores e-mail information exchanged between students. The chat information DB 236 stores chat information exchanged between students.

  Next, processing for starting the learning system according to the present invention will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, an application program related to the learning system is activated on the terminal 1 of the questioner (S101). Next, the application program is similarly activated on the terminal 2A of the student A (S102).

  Next, the terminal 2A of the student A executes a connection request to the questioner's terminal 1 based on the application program (S103). The questioner's terminal 1 receives the connection request, and in response thereto, transmits the connection request to the student A's terminal 2A (S104). In this way, a communication connection is established between the terminal 1 of the questioner and the terminal 2A of the student A (S105). Communication connections between the other student terminals 2B and 2C and the questioner terminal 1 can be established in the same procedure.

  Next, processing when a question is presented to the student by the questioner will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. In the following processing, the problem processing programs 122 and 222 are basically operated and processed in the questioner terminal 1 and the student terminal 2, respectively.

  First, the question presenter presents a question to the student (S201). The presentation of the problem is performed, for example, by designating a problem stored in advance in the problem information DB 132 of the questioner's terminal 1. In this case, first, the problem processing program 122 displays a page for designating the problem information, and accepts the question selection input of the questioner. Thereafter, the problem processing program 122 transmits the selected problem to the student terminal 2. The student terminal 2 receives the problem information and displays it on the screen. Separately, the problem may be presented by writing the problem on a whiteboard or blackboard, distributing a printed paper on which the problem is printed, or conveying the problem verbally. In this case, the questioning person specifies the problem by oral or the like.

  After presenting the question, the examiner registers the correct answer (S202). On the questioner's terminal 1, a page for registering correct answers is displayed by the problem processing program 122. When the correct answer information is input from the questioner, the terminal 1 of the questioner stores the question information in the problem information DB 132 in association with the problem ID. When a question is registered in advance, correct answer registration (S202) is also registered at the same time.

  When the question presentation and correct answer registration are performed, the mode shifts to a reception mode for accepting an answer from the student (S203). The fact that the mode has been set is stored in association with the problem ID in the problem information DB 132 and is transmitted to each student's terminals 2A, 2B, and 2C. Each student's terminal 2A, 2B, 2C receives the mode setting information by the problem processing program 222 and stores it in the problem information DB 232 in association with the problem ID. In addition, each student's terminal 2 displays an answer input page on the screen in response to the reception of the mode setting information (S204). FIG. 6 shows a screen display example of the answer input page. In this example, an area for answering a question for which a selection is prepared in advance, an area in which an answer can be input in a free format, and an area indicating rank information are displayed. In this example, it is assumed that student A has made an answer. When student A inputs response information using an input means such as a mouse or a keyboard and clicks the input completion button, the response information is transmitted from student A's terminal 2A to the questioner's terminal 1 (S205).

  When the answerer terminal 1 receives the answer information from the student A terminal 2A, the questioner terminal 1 stores the answer information in the problem information DB 132 in association with the problem ID, and executes a scoring process (S206). In the scoring process, the correct answer information stored in the question information DB 132 is compared with the answer information. As a result of the comparison, if the correct answer information and the answer information match, it is determined to be correct, and if they are different, it is determined to be incorrect (incorrect answer).

  Next, the questioner's terminal 1 transmits the result of scoring to the terminal 2A of the student A (S207). The terminal 2A of the student A receives the information related to the scoring result and displays the scoring result page on the screen (S208). FIG. 6 shows a screen display example when the answer is correct. On this screen, a message indicating that the answer is correct is displayed, and rank information is also displayed. FIG. 7 shows a screen display example in the case of an incorrect answer. In this case, the ranking information is displayed together with a message that the answer is incorrect. In addition, when you look at the message, the marked button is displayed. When this button is clicked, an error message display page as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. This message is a message that was previously entered and registered by a student who made the same error for the same problem. It is confirmed in the questioner's terminal 1 whether or not the same problem has the same wrong answer. Specifically, it is searched whether or not the current wrong answer matches the wrong answer associated with the wrong answer message stored in the wrong answer message DB 234, and when the wrong answer is found, the corresponding wrong answer message is read out. The read message is transmitted from the questioner's terminal 1 to the student's terminal 2. In the example shown in FIG. 9, an incorrect answer “−3” and a message “Movement error” are displayed together with a problem number (ID).

  The questioner's terminal 1 transmits the scoring result to the terminal 2A of the student A, and then executes the ranking information update process. In the rank information update process, the score of student A for the current question stored in the problem information DB 132 is read, the total score of student A stored in the rank information DB 133 is read, and both are added. The added value becomes the total score, and is stored in the rank information DB 133 in association with the user ID of the student A. Furthermore, the student ranking process stored in the rank information DB 133 is performed. For example, the ranking process is executed by comparing the total score of each student. The rank is stored in the rank information DB 133 in association with the user ID of each student.

  In the questioner's terminal 1, the updated rank information is transmitted to the terminals 2A, 2B, and 2C of the students A, B, and C (S209). Each student's terminal 2 receives the ranking information, updates the ranking information displayed on the screen, and displays the latest ranking information (S210, S211 and S212). As described above, since the updated rank information is immediately transmitted to the terminal 2 of each student and displayed in response to the update of the rank information, the student can know the latest rank in real time, and learning Can increase motivation.

  Next, if the answer of student A is incorrect, an incorrect message input page is displayed on the screen of terminal 2A of student A (S213). FIG. 10 shows a screen display example of the error message input page. As shown in the figure, a question ID (number), an incorrect answer “−3”, and a message input field are displayed. When student A enters, for example, “Movement error” in the message input field and clicks the input completion button, an error message is transmitted from student A's terminal 2A to the questioner's terminal 1 ( S214).

  The questioner's terminal 1 receives the error message from the terminal 2A of the student A, and stores it in the error message DB 134 in association with the user ID of the student A. After that, the questioner's terminal 1 reads out the wrong answer message received from the wrong answer message DB 134 and transmits it to the terminals 2A, 2B, and 2C of the students A, B, and C. The terminals 2A, 2B, and 2C of the students A, B, and C receive the error message and store them in the error message DB 234. In this way, the information stored in the error message DB 134 of the questioner's terminal 1 and the information stored in the terminals 2A, 2B, and 2C of the students A, B, and C are the same. Therefore, each student's terminal 2 can immediately read the latest error message. In particular, the immediacy is higher in that the latest data can be read out regardless of the load status of the terminal 1 of the questioner.

Other embodiments.
In the embodiment described above, the system is configured to hold similar data in the questioner's terminal 1 and the student's terminal 2, but not limited thereto, the data is held only in the questioner's terminal 1, As appropriate, a so-called server client system may be used in which the student terminal 2 requests and receives information from the questionee terminal 1 when necessary. In this case, a browser program may be installed in the student terminal 2 and data may be acquired from the questioner's terminal 1 by the browser program. In this case, it is particularly optimal when the communication network 2 is an Internet network.
In the above-described example, the error message is registered by the student, but may be registered in advance by the examiner.
In the above example, the error message is in the text data format, but is not limited to this and may be in the video data format. In this case, a scene where the student or the questioning person explains the error message such as the reason for the error is captured by the imaging camera or the like, and stored in the error message DBs 134 and 234 as video information. When the student makes an incorrect answer, the questioner's terminal 1 reads the error message stored as video information from the error message DB 134 and transmits it to the student's terminal 2. The student terminal 2 receives the error message and reproduces it as a video.
Students are not limited to answering for one reason, but may answer for several reasons. That is, students may make compound mistakes. In order to deal with such a compound error, it is preferable to store an error message corresponding to the compound error in the error message DBs 134 and 234. In particular, regarding a calculation problem, it is desirable to store in the terminal 1 of the questioner the analysis program for analyzing why the answer is incorrect.
Moreover, it is good to give a hint beforehand to the student who answered wrong in the same problem in the past at the time of a question. Specifically, first, each problem stored in the problem information DB 132 of the questioner's terminal 1 is subjected to category analysis, and the same identification information is assigned to the same category. At the time of questioning, the questioner's terminal 1 reads out the grade of the question already in the same category as the question to be questioned from the user information DB 131, and only to the student who answered the question as wrong. Send hint information. The student terminal 2 receives the hint information and displays it on the screen. At this time, the hint information may be acquired by actively accessing the database 13 of the terminal 1 of the questioner only from the terminal 2 of the student who answered the previous question in error.
Whether or not the answer is incorrect may be determined not only according to the final answer but also according to the input content of the intermediate expression.
The error message can be registered by the student, but the registration process may be changed according to the registrant. For example, an error message can be registered unconditionally for a student who has a high possibility of registering the reason for an incorrect answer even if a mistake is made. On the other hand, for students who have a low possibility of registering the reason for an incorrect answer, it is recommended that the examinee examine the error message. In that case, the student is notified of information indicating that the student has registered the error message, and the questioner corrects or deletes the error message as appropriate in response to receiving the information. Furthermore, for a student who has a very low possibility of registering the reason for an incorrect answer, a process of rejecting the incorrect answer message by the system can be taken. The correction of the error message may be performed not only by the questioning person but also by registered students or other students.
