Description

  The present invention relates to a learning support system that can be effectively used by a person who wants to perform some kind of learning.

  In general, when a beginner performs a kind of learning, the following method is often used.

  First, the first method is to purchase and learn books that are easy to understand. In such a method, when performing some learning (for example, accounting, learning about a personal computer, etc.), first, a book that is easy to understand is purchased by going to a bookstore, and learning is advanced. Also, if the learning effect is enhanced by the book, you can purchase and study a more advanced book. Conversely, if you feel that the book is difficult for you, you can purchase another simple book to study. Will continue.

  The second method is to advance learning through familiar seminars and schools. In this second method, you search for a seminar or school brochure that seems to be the best for you, and after receiving guidance, take a lecture that you feel is easy for you to understand.

  As other methods, various methods have been proposed in which learning is performed using a personal computer connected to a network or the like (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.).

JP 2009-0478804 A JP 2007-147170 A

  However, these learning methods cause the following problems.

  That is, in the method of purchasing books and learning independently as in the first method, books are generally intended for those who have a certain standard (beginners, intermediates, advanced players, etc.). Therefore, even if a learner who does not meet the criteria purchases the book, the book cannot be used to learn sufficiently. Also, even if you purchase a book that suits your ability and learn, the explanation will become more sophisticated as you increase the unit (chapter or section), and you will often be unable to keep up with your understanding.

  Also, as in the second method, when seminars and school education are used, lectures are generally easy to understand in the education field so that the majority of students can understand. For students, learning efficiency is very poor.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a learning support system that can efficiently advance learning to various levels of learners. It is.

  That is, the learning support system of the present invention stores, for each unit, a plurality of types of learning information that is output so as to be viewable to the learner, and reads out the stored one learning information and outputs it so that it can be viewed. A learning support system, wherein learning information output means for outputting a piece of learning information to a learner so as to be viewable, test information output means for outputting test information indicating a learner's degree of understanding of the output learning information, And an understanding level analysis means for receiving an answer from a learner for the test information output by the test information output means, and analyzing an understanding level based on the received answer, the learning information output The means selects and outputs one of a plurality of types of learning information stored for each unit corresponding to the understanding level analyzed by the understanding level analysis means.

  In this way, when beginners advance learning, their ability increases as the unit increases, and as intermediate students advance learning, their ability to understand increases as they increase their unit. Even in such a case, since learning information corresponding to the level at that time can be selected and output, the learner can be encouraged to learn efficiently. Here, “unit” refers to a unit such as a single chapter or section represented in the table of contents.

  Further, in such a learning support system, the learning information output means displays selectable to plural types of learners including learning information determined to be optimal based on the result analyzed by the understanding level analysis means, The learning information selected by the learner is output so as to be viewable.

  In this way, even if it is determined to be “advanced” by the comprehension analysis means, it is desirable to perform “intermediate” or “beginner” learning depending on the learner's preference. If so, you will be able to learn with that level of learning information.

  Furthermore, the other learning information can output the learning information of the same unit.

  In this way, if it is determined that the comprehension ability is poor by the comprehension level analysis means, the rank level can be lowered again and the learning information for plain explanation can be output and learned without proceeding to the next unit, No more stumbling after the next unit.

  Further, the test information includes a plurality of levels of test questions with identification information indicating the rank level, and the next learning information is selected according to the accuracy rate of the rank level.

  In this way, for example, even if a test question is given to a beginner, since the question includes a test question for intermediate and advanced students, the intermediate and advanced test questions are included. The learner's rank level can be known from the correct answer rate for the problem.

  The present invention is a learning support system for storing a plurality of types of learning information that is output to a learner so as to be viewable for each unit, and reading out the stored one piece of learning information so as to be viewable. Learning information output means for outputting a piece of learning information to a learner so as to be viewable; test information output means for outputting test information indicating a learner's level of understanding of the output learning information; and test information output means An understanding level analysis unit that receives an answer from the learner and analyzes an understanding level based on the received answer, and the learning information output unit includes the understanding level. Corresponding to the level of understanding analyzed by the analysis means, one of the plural types of learning information stored for each unit is selected and output. On the way Even if the ability increases as the unit increases, or when the intermediate level progresses learning, even if the comprehension becomes weaker as the unit increases, learning according to the level of the time Information can be selected and output, and learning can be promoted efficiently.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The learning support system 1 according to the present embodiment is designed to be used efficiently by learners of various levels from beginners to advanced users, and connected to a network such as the Internet. Or a single personal computer that can read a recording medium such as a CD or DVD and output video, images, sounds, and the like. Here, the “personal computer” includes not only a general-purpose desktop personal computer and notebook personal computer but also a portable information processing device such as a mobile phone, a PHS, and a game machine.

  The outline of the learning support system 1 of this embodiment will be described. The learning support system 1 stores a plurality of pieces of learning information having different explanation levels for each unit corresponding to beginners, intermediates, and advanced users. Storage means 2, learning information output means 3 that reads out one learning information stored in the storage means 2 and outputs the learning information so as to be viewable on a display, etc., and a test that outputs test questions for the output learning information The information output means 4 and the understanding level analysis means 5 for receiving the answer to the test question and analyzing the understanding level are provided, and the next unit (or the same unit) corresponding to the understanding level of the analyzed unit. The learning information for beginners / intermediate / advanced users is selected, and the learning information is read out and output. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the present embodiment will be described.

  As is well known, the personal computer constituting the learning support system 1 includes a storage device 6 such as a hard disk, a ROM, and a RAM, an input device 7 such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone, and an output device 8 such as a display and a speaker. It is possible to read software stored in a network such as the Internet or a storage medium such as a CD or DVD and install software for constructing the learning support system 1. Then, the storage device 6, the input device 7, the output device 8, and the arithmetic device 9 such as a CPU cooperate to store the storage device 2, the learning information output device 3, the test information output device 4, as shown in FIG. The comprehension level analysis means 5 is configured.

  The storage means 2 stores a plurality of types of learning information for each unit. When the learning information is stored in the storage unit 2, the learning information is stored by downloading and installing software from a server computer via a communication device such as the Internet. Alternatively, when software is installed in a storage medium such as a CD or DVD, the learning information is read out via the CD / DVD drive and stored in the storage unit 2. As the stored learning information, a plurality of types of learning information are prepared for each unit. For example, for the first unit, learning information for beginners, learning information for intermediate, and advanced learning information are stored. Has been. These learning information is stored as images, video and audio files that can be output to a display or speaker, and the learning information for beginners can be explained very easily for the same unit. As learning information for, it is possible to explain to learners who know a little technical terms for the same unit, and as advanced learning information, learners who know technical terms relatively well Can be explained to Here, the beginners, intermediates, and advanced persons may be separated in the order of long explanation time or the number of pages in the same unit.

  Specific examples of this learning information include, for example, learning support for “how to use a personal computer”, as learning information for beginners, “How to turn on power”, “How to turn off power”, “ For those who use a PC for the first time, such as "Explanation of technical terms", "How to use and input keyboard", "Document creation software", "Spreadsheet software", "Printing method" etc. Detailed explanation, and as learning information for intermediate level, as an explanation for those who have some knowledge about personal computers, for example, "input method using control keys", "document creation software and spreadsheet software Various setting methods "will be described. In addition, as for learning information for advanced users, “Explanation for various setting methods of document creation software”, “Function setting method of spreadsheet software”, “ Advanced explanation such as “merge printing”. These learning information is provided as a plurality of independent files so that it can be adapted to learners corresponding to each level of each unit. For example, in the first unit, “how to turn on / off the power” etc. As a file divided into various levels (for beginners, intermediates, and advanced users), in the second unit, "How to use document creation software" etc. are divided into various levels. In the fourth unit, “printing method” and the like are provided as files separated for each level.

  As other specific examples, for example, when learning about “accounting”, as the learning information for beginners, “principle of accounting work”, “explanation of various terms”, “basic of sorting” ”,“ Account Type ”,“ Posting to Ledger ”,“ Method for Creating Trial Balance ”,“ Financial Method ”, etc. will be described with specific examples. Further, as learning information for intermediate and advanced learners, a specific example that is considered unnecessary for the target learner among the learning information for beginners will be omitted. Of course, this learning information covers all the information required for the next unit and beyond, and the learning information for beginners will be explained in more detail and more specifically. Explain more professionally. The learning information is stored as a file such as a video, an image, and a sound, and is output to a display, a speaker, or the like via an output unit by designating the file.

  In addition, in order to grasp the learner's degree of understanding, the storage means 2 stores test information for indicating the degree of understanding including the unit corresponding to the learning information for each unit. As the test information, for example, when performing a test for indicating the understanding level of the m-th unit (m = 1 to 1) for beginners, the test problem for beginners of the unit is stored in the storage unit 2. After the learning information for beginners is output, the test information for beginners of the m-th unit is output via the test information output means 4. By the way, if the test questions for beginners are output as the test information for beginners, it cannot be determined whether the learner is an intermediate or advanced student. On the other hand, if only the advanced questions are output as the test questions for advanced users, if the score is extremely bad, it cannot be determined whether the learner is an intermediate or beginner. For this reason, test information output after each level includes test information of other levels, and depending on the level of understanding of each level, what level of learning information is output in the next unit, or Decide if you want to use the same learning information again after dropping the level in the same unit. Each test question is associated with identification information indicating whether it is for beginners, intermediates, or advanced users, and how many questions for beginners were solved. It is possible to memorize how many problems are solved and how many advanced problems are solved. At this time, for example, with respect to the problem for beginners such as “Would you like to press the power button when turning off the personal computer?”, The identifier “1” for beginners is stored. For the intermediate problem “press Ctrl + V when pasting copied characters”, the intermediate identifier “2” is stored. For advanced problems such as “use a VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP function when searching in a sheet with spreadsheet software”, an identifier “3” for advanced users is stored. The number of correct questions for the identifier “1”, the correct number of questions for the identifier “2”, and the correct number of questions for the identifier “3” are stored.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, a reference value is provided for each question of identifiers “1” to “3” in the storage means 2 for each of the output test questions, and the understanding level analysis means 5 For example, if the correct answer rate for the problem of the identifier “1” is less than 50% (condition 1), it is the same learning information or the learning information of the intermediate person again. If this happens, the rank level is lowered and learning information is output. If the correct answer rate of the problem with the identifier “1” at that time is “50% to less than 70%” (condition 2), the process proceeds to the next unit (m = m + 1) and outputs learning information of the same rank level. To do. Further, when the correct answer rate for the problem with the identifier “1” is “70% or more” and the correct answer rate for the problem with the identifier “2” in the test question is “50% or more and less than 70%” (conditions) 3) Proceed to the next unit, raise the rank level, and output learning information for intermediate players. Also, when the correct answer rate for the problem for beginners is “70% or more” and the correct answer rate for the problem of identifiers “2” and “3” is “50% to less than 70%” (Condition 4) Proceed to the next unit, and output rank level learning information for advanced users. When the learning information of each rank level is output, the understanding level analysis unit 5 stores the numerical value of the m-th unit (m = 1 to 1) output in advance and the correct answer rate for each identifier for the test question The rank level n (n = 1 for the beginner, n = 2 for the intermediate, n = 3 for the advanced) is determined in accordance with the rank level of the next mth unit as shown in FIG. Output n learning information.

  At this time, if the degree of understanding is very low, the rank level may be lowered and the next learning information or the like may be output, or the optimum learning information analyzed by the understanding level analysis means 5 is selected as a candidate. May be highlighted on the screen (see FIG. 5), and learning information of other rank levels may be displayed in a selectable manner to be accepted from the learner. That is, when the correct answer rate for the problem for beginners is “70% or more” and the correct answer rate for the problem of the identifier “2” in the test question is “50% or more and less than 70%”, Proceed to the unit and output learning information for intermediate users. At this time, “Learning information for second unit intermediate students” is highlighted to be selectable, and “Second unit for beginners” is displayed below. "2nd unit learning information for the advanced unit" may be displayed so as to be selectable, and the selection from the learner may be accepted. In this way, even if it is determined by the understanding level analysis means 5 that the level of understanding is high, if it is desired to receive a more detailed explanation, learning information suitable for oneself can be obtained. Similarly, learning information and test questions for beginners to advanced students are output for each unit, and learning information is appropriately selected and output from the degree of understanding based on the answers.

  Next, the flow when learning is performed using the learning support system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, on the initial screen of the learning support system 1, as shown in FIG. 4, a screen for accepting selection of “beginner”, “intermediate”, and “advanced” is displayed (step S1). At this time, this initial screen is displayed because it is impossible to determine which level of learner the learner is, and what level of learning information is selected and selected by the learner's self-judgment. This is so that it can be determined. If you cannot determine your level here, prepare a test question to know the level of understanding beforehand, and according to the result of answering the test question, “You are the best person. May be displayed. Such level determination is performed by accepting pressing of the “level determination” button on the initial screen and outputting a test question.

  Here, when the level is selected by the learner (step S2), each (m, n) value of the selected level (n) in the first unit (m = 1) is stored in the storage means 2 ( In step S3), the first unit (m = 1) is read through the n-th level learning information output means 3, and is displayed on the display 8 for viewing by the learner (step S4).

  When the learning of the first unit is completed based on the learning information, the test information output unit 4 reads the (m, n) value stored in the storage unit 2 and sets the (m, n) value to the (m, n) value. Corresponding test information is output to the display (step S5). When outputting to this display, an alternative question is displayed on the screen for easy scoring, and selection of one branch is accepted by a mouse or the like, or a correct branch number is accepted. Then, when an instruction for scoring a test question is given, an understanding of the test question is analyzed (step S6).

  Then, the comprehension analysis means 5 extracts the accuracy rate of the level n of the first unit (m = 1), and outputs the learning information at which level in the next unit according to the reference value stored in the storage means 2. Or, it is determined whether to return to the unit (or the unit whose level has been lowered) and output the learning information again in an easy-to-understand manner. That is, in the level n test, when the correct answer rate is less than 50%, the learning information of the same unit with n-1 (n-1 ≧ 1) as the rank level of the same first unit is output again. When the correct answer rate at that time is “50% to less than 70%”, the learning information of the next (m + 1) th unit and rank level n is output. In addition, when the correct answer rate for the question at the rank level is “70% or more” and the correct answer rate for the higher-order question is “50% or more to less than 70%”, (M + 1) Go to the unit and increase the rank level to output learning information. At this time, the display 8 recommends the rank level determined by the understanding level analysis means 5 as shown in FIG. Is highlighted and accepts selection from the learner. When the selection of the rank level from the learner is accepted, the previously determined (m, n) value or the (m, n) value from the rank level selected by the learner in the screen of FIG. (Step S7), and thereafter, the same processing is repeated until the final unit (step S8).

  When the learning up to the last unit is completed, the trajectory of the rank level for each unit followed by the learner is output so that it can be referred to when reviewing the next time.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, for each unit, a plurality of types of learning information that is output so as to be viewable to the learner is stored, and the stored one learning information is read out and output so as to be viewable. In the learning support system 1, the learning information output means 3 that outputs the learning information to the learner so as to be viewable, and the test information output means that outputs test information indicating the degree of understanding of the learner with respect to the output learning information 4 and an understanding level analysis unit 5 that receives an answer from the learner for the test information output by the test information output unit 4 and analyzes the understanding level based on the received answer, Since the learning information output means 3 selects and outputs other learning information corresponding to the understanding level analyzed by the understanding level analysis means 5, the learning information output means 3 has various levels from beginner to advanced level. Correspondence Let proceed efficiently learning Te. In addition, the level of the next unit is selected for each unit according to the level of understanding, and learning information is output, so even if it becomes difficult and less understood as each unit progresses, the level is lowered. You will be able to learn.

  Further, the learning information determined to be optimal based on the result analyzed by the understanding level analysis means 5 is displayed to a plurality of types of learners, and the learning information selected by the learners is output so as to be viewable. Therefore, even if it is judged as “advanced” by the understanding level analysis means 5, learning information for “intermediate” or “for beginner” is obtained and learned according to the preference of the learner. Will be able to.

  Furthermore, if it is determined that the comprehension level of the understanding level analysis means 5 is poor, learning is deepened by lowering the rank level and outputting plain explanation learning information again without proceeding to the next unit. And you do n’t have to stumble after the next unit.

  In addition, the test information includes multiple levels of test questions with identification information indicating the rank level, and the next learning information is selected according to the accuracy rate of the rank level. Even if a test question is given, the learner's rank level can be known from the correct answer rate for the intermediate and advanced test questions.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can implement in a various aspect.

  For example, the learning support system 1 may be composed of a plurality of computers. The learning information and test questions are output to a client computer for learners, and the storage means 2 and the understanding level analysis means 5 are used as server computers. You may make it provide in the side. Then, these computers may be connected via a network so that questions can be received from the learner through a call center, email, chat, or the like.

  In the above embodiment, learning information for beginners, intermediates, and advanced is provided and output independently, but when learning is performed based on learning information of each rank level, You may be wondering what kind of explanation you are receiving at the rank level. In preparation for such a case, a button for outputting learning information more detailed than the rank level is provided for each section of each unit, and when the button is pressed, the rank level is set to n = As n−1, learning information for beginners (or intermediate users) may be output and returned only for that section.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the rank level is changed in the next unit, technical terms that are not described in detail in the previous unit may appear. At this time, if the learning information is configured to include a character file, register the technical terms displayed at each rank level in advance, and whether the technical terms are included in the learning information of the previous unit If it is not included, an instruction to explain the technical term in the previous unit may be output. In this way, when learning information is created for each rank level of each unit, there is no possibility that the explanation will be lost, and even when the rank level is changed and learning is performed smoothly You can go on. If such a search is provided in the learning support system 1 as a search means in advance and the learning information is stored in the storage means 2, whether or not the technical term is explained in the previous unit via the search means. It is good to make it memorize | store in the memory | storage means 2 only when it is judged and is demonstrated.

  The present invention can be applied to a field that can be utilized by a person who performs some kind of learning using a computer or a network.
