Description

  The present invention relates to a small test learning apparatus capable of learning in a small test format using a computer.

Traditionally, when learning foreign words, kanji, and technical terms in various fields, learning using word cards and using a book for memorization, it is repeated while checking "I remembered" and "I don't remember" Learning has been done. The school conducts a small test using paper to confirm the understanding of the most recently learned content. This has the advantage of being easy to tackle.
In learning software using a commercially available personal computer or game machine, a problem is randomly extracted. When the problem is displayed, the learner inputs an answer to the problem, and the computer makes a correct / incorrect determination. After repeating this a predetermined number of times, the overall score is given and it is possible to judge how much it has been understood. Since grade management is performed, problems with poor grades can be learned again.
There is also a learning method in which a list of learning questions is displayed and an answer is input. This includes learning to separate a problem according to a learning state and learning to separate a learning problem from a problem in a proficient state and a problem in an unfamiliar state.

Japanese Patent No. 3820421

However, the conventional method of using word cards, books, and school quizzes that are done manually requires time and effort to collect statistical data on how many questions were answered and what questions were answered correctly. It takes time and effort to objectively judge whether it is difficult or easy. For this reason, when a question that has been mistaken the last time is given again, a relatively easy problem and a difficult problem may be given as problems of the same level, which is inefficient.
The method of extracting questions randomly and asking one question on one screen varies in the number of questions and the degree of difficulty of each question, and it is necessary to repeat the test questions to be given a certain number of times. Over time, the answers for each question are neglected. And since it may take some time before the question that was incorrect is re-issued, even if you confirm and remember the correct answer when you make a mistake, it will be forgotten over time and you will be asked again May make the same mistake.
In addition, when performing a test with a list of learning questions, the displayed contents are learning questions, answers and correct / incorrect judgments, and confirms the status of learning progress for each question. However, learning cannot be advanced. For this reason, it is necessary to solve the learning problems displayed in a list, and as the learning proceeds, the answers for each question may be neglected.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention of claim 1 is the sum of questions, correct answers, the number of questions that are learning records of one learning, the number of correct answers, the correct answer rate, and the learning records of multiple learning. The learning list that holds the learning questions including items of the total number of calculated questions, the total number of correct answers, and the total correct answer rate is sorted in ascending order using the number of questions and correct answer items alternately as a key each time a quiz is created. Extract a predetermined number of learning questions from the test, create a quiz including learning records, display the predetermined number of learning questions at the same time on the quiz screen, and identify learning problems that have not reached the predetermined number of correct answers The quiz creation means that can be repeatedly tested and the correct answer rate column of the learning questions that were incorrect in the previous question are displayed in different colors on the quiz screen to alert the learner and enter the answer Small test learning means and correct / incorrect The correct and updated learning records and quiz scores are displayed on the quiz screen, and the answer entry fields for the correct and incorrect questions are displayed in different colors to update the learning record in the learning list. From the learning analysis list and the learning list, the learner sets the range of the total correct answer rate and extracts learning questions, creates a difficult question list with the same configuration as the learning list, and uses it similarly to the learning list And a difficult problem list creating means.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the quiz preparation means, learning problems are extracted from the learning list using a specific numerical value or character as a search key, and a predetermined number of learning problems are extracted after creating a temporary learning list. To do.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the quiz preparation means, when the learning field is Chinese and the tone of a Chinese word is learned, the Chinese word is digitized for the question of the learning problem, and the tone code is digitized for the correct answer By making the numbers into numbers, the learner can input the numbers obtained by digitizing the tone codes in the answer input field instead of the tone codes, thereby enabling correct / incorrect determination using numbers.
This is a small test learning apparatus characterized by the above.

By taking a quiz format that displays multiple learning questions at once, by sorting the learning list in ascending order by using the number of questions and correct answer items alternately as keys, and extracting a predetermined number of learning questions from the top It is possible to reduce the bias of the questions, increase the number of questions of the learning problem with a low correct answer rate, and even the difficult questions can be fixed in the memory by increasing the frequency of the questions.
And since it can answer by referring to the result of the previous right / wrong judgment and the correct answer rate, the degree of attention to each learning problem is increased and the willingness to learn can be maintained.
In addition, since the learner decides the range of the total correct answer rate and creates the difficult question list, it is possible to ask a learning problem based on a unique difficulty level, so that the learning can proceed efficiently.
For this reason, it is possible to expect the effect of learning efficiently in a short time and fixing it in memory for more learning problems.

し、ピンインの上に声調符号をつけてあらわす。
また、音節の後（２文字の単語であれば、２文字目の語）に付いて軽く発音される「軽声」がある。軽声には声調符号は付かない。
声調符号の数値化の規則は次のように、中国語の漢字のアクセントである四声と軽声を数値で表すために、第１声を１、第２声を２、第３声を３、第４声を４、軽声を０とする。

合わせて１４と数字で表現する。
表１に２文字単語の声調の組み合わせの構成例を示す。Hereinafter, an example in which the small test learning device is applied to learn a tone which is the pronunciation of a Chinese word will be described.
Before explaining the operation of the small test learning apparatus with the flowchart, a method for digitizing the tone code of a Chinese word will be explained.
Pinyin is pronounced in Roman letters. The voice that is the accent is the first voice that is four voices

Then, a tone code is put on Pinyin.
In addition, there is a “speech” that is lightly pronounced after the syllable (or the second letter if it is a two-letter word). Tones are not marked with a tone code.
The rules for digitizing the tone code are as follows: the first voice is 1, the second voice is 2, and the third voice is 3 to express the four voices and light voices, which are the accents of Chinese characters, as numerical values. , The fourth voice is 4, and the light voice is 0.

In total, it is expressed as 14 and numbers.
Table 1 shows a configuration example of a combination of tone of two-letter words.

When applied to Chinese word learning by the small test learning device, the basic structure of the learning list in FIG. 2 is changed to the item names as shown in FIG.
FIG. 5 shows an image of a part of the learning list data.

Hereinafter, the small test learning apparatus will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
The small test screen 160 in FIG. 11 is an example in which a small test is given. In application to Chinese word learning, the item names of the question 121, the answer input column 122, the related item A 124, and the related item B 125 in FIG. 11 are changed to Chinese 161, tone input 162, Pinyin 164, and Japanese 165, respectively.

The small test creation will be described with reference to the small test creation flowchart of FIG.
In step S111, the learner designates the learning list name as the learning list name 181 in the learning list call / save 180 in FIG. 12, and presses the learning list call 183 button to call the learning list to be learned.
The total correct answer count upper limit 182 sets the upper limit of the correct answer count that is obtained by a plurality of learnings, and the CPU 1 regards the learning problem that has reached this value as mastery and removes it from the questions.
In step S112, when the learner sets the extraction condition shown in FIG. 13 and presses the button of the question 170 in FIG. 11, the CPU 1 creates a small test and displays it on the small test screen 160.
The upper limit 196 of the correct number of small test correct answers in FIG. 13 is regarded as having mastered a learning problem that has reached this numerical value in one learning, and is excluded from the questions.
The button of the learning list saving 184 in FIG. 12 is for saving the learning list at the end of the small test learning, but can be saved as needed.

Step 113 and subsequent steps are processes in which the CPU 1 creates a small test.
In step S113, the process is divided according to the specified conditions.
If none 191 is selected in the condition setting of FIG. 13, the sort flag is checked in step S114. This sort flag is set to 0 when the small test learning device is activated, and is alternately set to 1 and 0 every time a small test is created.
When the sort flag is 0, the process goes to step S115 to sort in ascending order using the number of questions in the learning list as a key. By doing this, it is possible to give priority to learning problems with a small number of questions. The sort flag is set to 1.
When the sort flag is 1, the process goes to step S116 and sorts in ascending order using the accuracy rate item of the learning list as a key. By doing so, it is possible to give priority to learning problems with a low accuracy rate. The sort flag is set to 0.
In this way, a learning problem with a high correct answer rate is excluded from the subject by reaching the number set in the upper limit 196 of the correct number of small test correct answers in FIG. 14 at an early stage. Therefore, each time a small test is created, By sorting items alternately in ascending order, it is possible to maintain the frequency of questions with a low correct answer rate.

If tone 192 is selected in step S113 as shown in FIG. 14, in step S117, a learning problem having a number designated as tone numeral 194 is searched from the learning list, and a temporary list is created only with the corresponding learning problem. To do. An example in which a part of the temporary list is extracted is shown in FIG. The number “4” designated as the tone number 194 in FIG.
If Pinyin 193 is selected as shown in FIG. 16 in step S113, a learning problem having a character designated as the Pinyin character 195 is searched in Step S118, and a temporary list is created using only the corresponding learning problem. An example of part of the temporary list is shown in FIG. In the pinyin 143 column, the character “ji” designated as the pinyin character 195 in FIG. 16 is included.

In step S119, when the sort flag is 0, the process goes to step S120 to sort in ascending order using the item of the number of questions in the temporary list as a key. The sort flag is set to 1.
When the sort flag is 1, the process goes to step S121, and the items are sorted in ascending order using the accuracy rate item in the temporary list as a key. The sort flag is set to 0.

In step S122, the CPU 1 extracts five questions from the top of the sorted learning list or temporary list and displays them on the small test screen 160 as shown in FIG.
The tone input 162 in FIG. 11 is an input field for inputting a numerical value obtained by digitizing the tone code.
The correct answer 163 displays the correct answer when scoring.
Japanese 165 in FIG. 11 is a Japanese translation for Chinese 161, and if Japanese is displayed in 197 for displaying Japanese in FIG. 13, Japanese is displayed. In this case, since there is no check, Japanese is not displayed in FIG. Display Japanese when scoring.
In addition, since 198 indicating pinyin in FIG. 13 is checked, pinyin is displayed in the pinyin column of pinyin 164 in FIG.

In step S102 of FIG. 6, small test learning is performed. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of small test learning.
In step S131, the CPU 1 confirms 199 for color-coding the previous incorrect answer problem in FIG. 13 and, if checked, the correct answer rate 168 in FIG. 11 for the learning problem that was incorrect in the previous question. The column is displayed in red. This corresponds to a learning problem in which the previous correct / incorrect 152 in FIG. 5 is “x”.
If the correct answer rate 168 is smaller than the total correct answer rate 169 in FIG. 11, the total correct answer rate 169 column in FIG. 11 is displayed in red. This shows that the results of this study are worse than the total results of past studies in comparison of the same problem.

In step S132, the answer is input to the tone input 162 of FIG.
In step S133, the CPU 1 confirms whether or not the learner has input two digits that are numerical values of the tone code that is the answer. If two digits have been input, the cursor is moved to the next learning problem in step S134. In this embodiment, since it is limited to two characters as shown in Chinese 141 in FIG. 5, the tone code to be answered is two digits. As described above, when the number of digits to be answered is determined to be a fixed digit, the CPU 1 automatically moves the cursor to the next learning question if there is an answer input for the number of digits.
In step S135, if all questions and answers have been input, the process ends. If not, the process proceeds to step S132. FIG. 18 shows an example in which an answer is entered in the tone input 162 field.

In step S103 of FIG. 6, answer analysis is performed. The answer analysis will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In step S141, when the learner presses the button of scoring 171 in FIG. 18, the CPU 1 displays the correct answer in each column of the correct answer 163 as shown in FIG.
At this time, if the Japanese display 197 in FIG. 13 is not checked, the Japanese is displayed in the field of Japanese 165 in FIG. 19 at this time.

In step S142, the correctness / incorrectness determination in the column of tone input 162 in FIG. 19 is performed. If the answer is correct, in step S143, the CPU 1 calculates the correct answer rate 168 after adding 1 to the number of questions 166 and the number of correct answers 167 of the first, second, fourth, and fifth learning problems in FIG. The correct answer rate 168 is expressed by a numerical value (%) obtained by dividing the number of correct answers 167 by the number of questions 166 and multiplying it by 100. And the column of the tone input 162 on the small test screen is made blue.
Further, after adding 1 to the total calculation number of times 148 and the total number of correct answers 149 in the learning list in FIG. 5, the total correct answer rate 169 in FIG. 19 is calculated. The total correct answer rate 169 is represented by a numerical value (%) obtained by dividing the total number of correct answers 147 by the number of calculated questions 146 and multiplying it by 100.
If the answer is incorrect in step S142, in step S144, the CPU 1 calculates the correct answer rate 168 after adding "1" to the number of questions 166 of the third learning problem in FIG. Then, the tone input 162 field on the small test screen is displayed in red.
Further, the total correct answer rate 169 in FIG. 19 is calculated after adding “1” to the total calculation number of times 148 in the learning list in FIG. 5.

In step S145, the number of correct answers out of the 5 questions is displayed in a fractional format on the small test scoring 172 of FIG.
The number of questions 166, the number of correct answers 167, the correct answer rate 168, and the total correct answer rate 169 are reflected in the learning list of FIG.
As the previous correct / incorrect 152 in the learning list, “◯” is assigned when the answer is correct, and “X” is assigned when the answer is incorrect.

In step S104 of FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not the number of correct answers in the learning list has reached a predetermined number. This predetermined number is a numerical value set in the upper limit 196 of the correct number of small test correct answers in FIG. 13. When all the correct answer numbers have reached the predetermined number, “the correct answer number has reached the predetermined number”. A message is displayed and it goes to step S105.
In step S105, it is determined whether or not the total number of correct answers has reached a predetermined number. This predetermined number is a numerical value designated by the upper limit 182 of the total number of correct answers shown in FIG. 12. When all the predetermined numbers are reached, a message stating “The total number of correct answers has reached the predetermined number” is displayed. Then go to step S107.
If the predetermined number has not been reached in step S104 and if the predetermined number has not been reached in step S105, the process goes to step S106, and the learner determines whether or not to interrupt the small test. To continue the small test, go to step S101. If the small test is to be interrupted, go to step S107.

In step S107 in FIG. 6, the learner determines whether to create a difficult question list.
If the difficult question list is not created, the quiz learning ends.
When creating a difficult question list, go to step S108.
In step S108, processing for creating a difficult question list is performed. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
For example, in the learning list of FIG. 5, in order to treat a learning problem with a low total accuracy rate as a difficult question in the learning list of FIG. 5, the range of the total accuracy rate is determined and the learning problem is saved as another list. Say. A plurality of difficult question lists can be created.
In step S151 in FIG. 10, the learner sets a difficult question list name 201 in the difficult question list name 201 shown in FIG.

In step S152, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the designated difficult question list exists. If the designated difficulty list exists, the process goes to step S154, and the learning problem corresponding to the condition set in FIG. 20 (total correct answer rate is lower limit 0% to upper limit 50%) is added to the designated difficulty list and saved. .
If the designated difficult question list does not exist, go to step S153 to create a difficult question list designated as the difficult question list name 201 in FIG. 20, and then go to step S154 to find the learning problem corresponding to the conditions set in FIG. Add to list and save.
FIG. 21 is an image drawing a part of the learning problems of the created difficult question list. As shown in the column of the total accuracy rate 220, problems with a total accuracy rate of 50% or less are collected.
Since this difficult question list has the same configuration as the existing learning list, it can be used in small tests as well as the learning list.
