  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A geographic subject learning support apparatus and geographic subject learning support software according to an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a learning support device for a geography subject according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2A is a block diagram illustrating a table of the learning support device for the geography subject, and FIG. FIG. In the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the geography subject learning application software is stored in the tablet computer (tablet terminal) 100, and each step of the geography subject learning software is executed. By doing so, you can learn about Japanese geography.

First, an outline of the hardware configuration of the tablet terminal 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a tablet terminal 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a ROM (Read Only).
A memory (RAM) 120, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 130, an SSD (Solid State Drive) 140 as a large-scale storage device, a touch panel 150, a speaker 180 as an audio playback means, an audio output control unit 181 and the like are connected by a bus 190. Composed. The touch panel 150 includes an image display unit 160 that is a liquid crystal display device and a touch sensor 170. The image display unit 160 is connected to the bus through the display control unit 161, and the touch sensor 170 is connected to the bus through the input / output control unit 171. 190.

  The tablet terminal 100 is driven based on a predetermined OS (operating system), for example, iOS, Android, Windows (registered trademark), and the like, and the geography learning software according to the embodiment is installed. When the learning application software is activated, a control table 500 and a data area 600 storing various data such as questions and answers are formed in the RAM 130 and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the table 500 includes an item table 510 that specifies learning item data to be displayed, a local table 520 that specifies local name data, a weak table 530 that specifies weak item data, and a super weak point. Super weak table 540 for specifying item data, question table 550 for specifying question and answer data, answer table 560 for specifying learner's answer, scoring table 570 for storing comprehension points, character stage indicating comprehension level A stored stage table 580, an audio table 590 storing audio reference data, and the like are provided. The learning support device 10 operates based on each data stored in the table 500. In the embodiment, “I am weak” corresponds to the first classification, and “Super weak” corresponds to the second classification.

Further, in the data area 600, as shown in FIG. 2B, a voice data storage unit 610, a question answer data storage unit 620 as voice data storage means, an answer piece data storage unit 630 as answer piece data storage means, A character image data storage unit 640 and the like are provided. The voice data storage unit 610 stores voice data for reading a name that identifies the answer piece. Here, the voice data can be sound quality that recalls the characteristics of the answer specified by the answer piece.
Also, in this embodiment, the voice is a voice that can be emphasized by changing the voice sound, for example, by a teacher of a school or a cram school, a mother, etc. Unlike simple narrator reading in a stick reading state, it is more friendly and impressive, especially for young children who are not familiar with letters.

  Further, for example, the sound quality of the sound data about the ocean current is changed depending on the cold current and the warm current. That is, the cold current is recalled with a trembling high voice for the cold current, and the warm and low voice for the warm current. Further, it is assumed that the voice data includes characteristic voice data for reading out the characteristics of the one specified by the answer piece in addition to the name voice data for specifying the answer piece.

  The characteristic sound property data is, for example, the characteristics of the target specified by the answer piece, for example, “Cold current” or “Warm current” if it is an ocean current, or the altitude ranking in Japan if it is a mountain, Provide explanatory data. In this way, by raising the attention of the answer points to be noted by changing the voice, it is possible to enhance the learning effect especially for an infant who has not yet learned characters. Note that these voice data can be generated by voice synthesis, and can be obtained as voice data by acquiring in advance a learner, for example, a speaker who is widely known to elementary school students.

  The question and answer data storage unit 620 stores the question and answer data. The answer includes a position on the white map, a name text as display data, and the like. The answer piece data storage unit 630 stores a symbol figure or the like imitating the name and shape of each answer piece (for example, a prefecture outline shape, a river line, a lake outline shape, etc.). The question answer data storage unit 620 stores white background data and serves as white map data storage means. By providing the shape of each answer piece, the learner can memorize the answer as an image, and learning efficiency is further improved.

  In the tablet terminal 100, a tap operation for selecting a display object displayed on the display surface by performing a touch operation on the display surface 220 of the image display means 160 with a finger or a stylus pen as a contact object, the tap operation The drag operation for moving the displayed object and the drop operation for placing the dragged display object at a desired position are possible.

  In the tablet terminal 100, the CPU 110 uses the RAM 130 as a work area to process the geographic subject learning software stored in the SSD 140, thereby realizing the function of the geographic subject learning support apparatus. That is, the question is displayed on the display surface 220, the correctness of the answer input by the learner is determined, and the fact is presented to the learner.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the appearance of the learning support device of the geography subject. As shown in FIG. 3, the tablet terminal 100 has a touch panel 150 disposed on the surface. An operation button 211 and a camera lens 212 are arranged on the surface of the tablet terminal 100.

  In order to use the tablet terminal 100 as a learning support device for geography subjects, the geography subject learning software is installed in the tablet terminal 100, and this software is executed. Thus, in the learning software for the geography subject that has been activated, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed during learning. In this example, an item for learning the position of a Japanese “mountain range” divided as a learning item in a geography subject is selected.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the display surface 220 is displayed in landscape orientation (landscape display), but the display surface 220 can be displayed in portrait orientation (portrait display). At this time, the displayed image is optimized and displayed on the display surface 220 arranged horizontally or vertically. This is automatically changed according to the vertical orientation of the tablet terminal 100.

  For example, when learning the position of the “mountain range”, the display surface 220 of the touch panel 150 includes a white map area 230 on which a white map 240 including the Japanese archipelago, which is an area for answering the problem, is displayed, and an answer piece 251 for “mountain range”. An answer piece region 250 in which a plurality of 252 253 254 255 are displayed is displayed divided vertically. Here, the answer piece area 250 can be scrolled to the left and right by a touch operation, and other answer pieces can be displayed. Each answer piece is displayed with a name and, if necessary, a symbol.

  In this example, in addition to the white map 240, the white map area 230 includes a hiragana display designation icon 241, a kanji display designation icon 242, a voice output designation icon 243, a hint display icon 244, a timer setting icon 245, as various designation icons. A time display icon 246, a home icon 247, a weak point designation icon 248 as a first classification button, and a super weak point designation icon 249 as a second classification button are displayed.

  The learner taps the answer piece 251 of the “mountain range” from the answer piece area 250, for example, the answer piece 251 of the “Ou Range” with the finger 260, and further moves to the Tohoku region of the white map 240 and performs the drop operation. . For easy understanding, FIG. 3 shows a state where the answer piece (251A in the figure) in the moving state is surrounded by a broken line and arranged at the answer position (shown by 251B in the figure).

  The tablet terminal 100 determines whether or not the position of the answer piece 251 on the white map 240 is correct, and notifies the learner of the correctness based on the voice and the behavior of the answer piece 251. The same operation can be performed for other “mountain” answer pieces, whereby the learner learns the position of the mountain range.

  The order of the answers is arbitrary. Furthermore, the tablet terminal 100 can learn the name by reproducing the name of the mountain range by voice.

  Hereinafter, operation | movement of the learning assistance apparatus 10 of the geography subject which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated. First, an outline of the learning support operation in the learning support apparatus 10 will be described. 4A and 4B are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the learning support apparatus of the geography subject.

  First, when the geography subject learning software is activated on the tablet terminal 100, a “table of contents screen” is displayed (S310). On the “table of contents screen”, five modes that can be executed by the learning support apparatus 10 are displayed, and one mode can be selected from these. There are five items that can be selected: “Learn”, “Listen”, “Review”, “Understanding”, and “Usage Guide”.

  When “learn” is selected, the learner learns the position and name of various learning items selected by operating the image displayed on the display surface 220 of the tablet terminal 100, for example, “mountain range”, “sea current”, and the like. Can do. When “listen” is selected, the name of the learning item selected by the tablet terminal 100 is read out.

  When “review” is selected, problems that the learner has performed in the past with the tablet terminal 100 are displayed again. When “understanding level” is selected, a character that grows according to the level of understanding of the past learning (degree of correct answer), in this example, a character named “e (en) Tsukutsun” is displayed. Each mode item can be given a “phonetic” so that lower grade students can understand it.

  When “Remember” or “Listen” is selected on the “Contents” screen, a “Remember Contents” screen is displayed (S320). On the “Remembering table of contents screen”, a desired item is selected from “Remembered items” and “Regional” classified into regions. As the “remembered items”, for example, geographical items such as “sea”, “sea current”, “volcano”, “mountain”, “mountain range”, etc. are listed, and the item “by region” is displayed below. This item data is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 with reference to the item table 510.

  If “review” is selected on the “table of contents screen”, the review process is performed and the “review mode screen” is displayed (S330). On the “review mode screen”, “poor” or “super weak” classified in the answers to past questions is selected. By selecting one of these, a “Remembering Contents screen” is displayed to display the problems classified as “I do n’t like” or “I do n’t like” (S320).

  Further, when “understanding level” is selected on the “table of contents screen” in S310, the “understanding level screen” is displayed (S340), and characters that have grown according to the understanding level are displayed. Data stored in the stage table 580 is referred to for the character growth degree (stage), and image data is acquired from the character image data storage unit 640. In addition, on the “understanding level screen”, a “home button” for returning to the “table of contents screen” is displayed.

  When “how to use guide” is selected on the “table of contents screen”, the “how to use guide screen” is displayed (S350). On the “how to use guide screen”, explanations on how to use the learning support apparatus 10 at each stage are displayed in text. In addition, a “home button” for returning to the “table of contents screen” is displayed on the “how to use guide screen”.

  When one item is selected from the types to be remembered on the “Remembering Contents screen” in S320, the “Learn how to select screen” is displayed via the “Learn” and “Listen” branches (S360) (S370). On the “memorization selection screen”, one of “remember the position” or “remember the name” can be selected.

  When “Remember the position” is selected on the “Remember how to select” screen, a “Problem to remember position” screen is displayed (S380: see FIG. 4B). At this time, the presented question is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 by referring to the question table 550 based on the item selected on the “memorization selection screen” in S370. In addition, characters, images, and the like of the answer piece are acquired from the answer piece data storage unit 630. The answer is collated with a correct answer stored in the question table 550, for example, a position on the white map, and a correct answer or an incorrect answer is determined from a result of matching or mismatching. Further, when the review mode screen of S330 is selected, it is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 with reference to the weak table 530 and the super weak table 540. In addition to the problem screen, a home button is displayed on this screen.

  When all questions are answered, the question is cleared (S390), and the screen returns to the “Contents screen”. As a result, the character stage displayed on the comprehension screen is increased by adding points (S340). The points are added to the score table 570, and the character stage is stored in the stage table 580.

  When “remember name” is selected on the “remember how to select screen” in S370, a name difficulty selection screen is displayed (S400). Here, “high difficulty level” or “low difficulty level” can be selected. Regardless of which is selected, a question screen for remembering the name is displayed (S410). In addition, a home button is displayed on the “question screen for learning names”. In the case of “high difficulty level”, the respondent inputs a name and answers, and in the case of “low difficulty level”, the respondent answers by selecting an answer piece in which the name is described.

  In S320, when “Regional” is selected on the “Remembering table of contents screen”, a “Region selection screen” is displayed (S420). On the region selection screen, the Hokkaido region, Tohoku region, Kanto region, Chubu region, Kinki region, Chugoku region, Shikoku region, Kyushu region, “Okinawa Region” is displayed as the region name. The local name is acquired from the local table 520.

  When a local name is selected here, a local category screen is displayed (S430), and for example, “all”, “sea”, “sea current”, “mountain”, “mountain range”, and the like are selected. This item has the same content as that displayed on the index screen in S320 except for “all”, and is acquired from the local table 520. When one or more of these are selected, a remembering selection screen 370 corresponding to the selected item is displayed. Further, a problem screen for memorizing the position is displayed (S380), a name difficulty selection screen is displayed (S400), and a "question screen for memorizing names" is further displayed (S410).

  When “listening” is selected in the “table of contents screen” in S310, a “listening question screen” for the item selected through the “learning table of contents screen” or the like is displayed (S440). Here, the name of the presented item is output by voice. The presented question is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 with reference to the question table 550. The output audio data is acquired from the audio data storage unit 610 with reference to the audio table 590.

  Next, a display screen displayed on the learning support apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B are diagrams showing transition of display screens of the learning support device of the geography subject.

  6 to 16 are diagrams showing display screens in each transition state. When the learning support apparatus 10 is activated, a table of contents screen 710 is first displayed as the display screen G1 (see FIGS. 5A and 6A). On the table of contents screen 710, a “remember” icon 711, a “listen” icon 712, a “review” icon 713, an “understanding” icon 714, and a “how-to-use guide” character 715 are displayed. Each icon 711, 712, 713, 714 has a furigana.

  When the “remember” icon 711 is tapped on the table of contents screen 710, the item selection screens 720 and 860 to be remembered are displayed as the display screen G2 (see FIGS. 6A and 12A). The memorized item selection screen 860 shown in FIG. 12B is a screen that appears when the memorized item selection screen 720 is scrolled downward.

  The memorized item selection screen 720 is displayed in a list as a parallel list so that memorized items can be selected. In this example, the ocean, ocean currents, volcanoes, mountains, mountains, highlands, lakes, rivers, plains, basins, islands, peninsulas, straits, bays, fishing ports, farms, thriving agricultural areas, reclaimed land, clearing lands, irrigation canals The four major industrial zones, industrial cities, traditional industries, world heritage sites, national parks, major airports, major trade ports, railways / shinkansens, railways / major JR lines, expressways, prefectures, and prefectural offices. This screen can be scrolled in the vertical direction, and items below are displayed continuously (for example, an item selection screen 860 to be remembered). At the lowest position of the memorized item selection screen 860, as shown in FIG. 12A, a display area for selecting “by region” is displayed in addition to other items.

  When one of these items, for example, the “mountain range” display area 721 in the item selection screen 720 is tapped, the next display screen G3 is displayed. Note that a “table of contents” character 722 that returns to the table of contents screen 710 when a tap operation is performed is displayed on the upper left side of the item selection screen 720.

  On the remembering method selection screen 730 on the display screen G3, an icon 731 for “remembering a position” and an icon 732 for “remembering a name” are displayed (see FIG. 7A). The “remember” icon 731 is tapped when learning the position of the selected item, for example, “mountain range” with a white map.

  The “remember name” icon 732 is tapped to learn the item displayed on the white map, for example, the name of each “mountain range”. In addition, on the left side of the upper end of the learning method selection screen 730, a “remembered item” character 733 that returns to the item selection screen 720 to be remembered by a tap operation is displayed.

  When the “remember” icon 731 is tapped, a position learning screen 740 for remembering the position is displayed as a display screen G4 (see FIG. 7B). The position learning screen 740 includes a white map area 230 in which a white map 240 of the Japanese archipelago is displayed and an answer piece area 250 in which answer pieces 251, 252, 253, 254, and 255 of “Mountain Range” are displayed up and down. It is divided and displayed.

  The answer piece area 250 can be scrolled left and right to display other answer pieces. In this example, the answer piece 251 is “Ou Mountains”, the answer piece 252 is “Hida Mountains”, the answer piece 253 is “Iki Mountains”, the answer piece 254 is “Akaishi Mountains”, and the answer piece 255 is “Kiso Mountains”. . When the answer piece area 250 is scrolled horizontally, answer pieces of “Suzuka Mountains”, “Hidaka Mountains”, and “Echigo Mountains” are displayed as other mountain ranges. Each answer piece shows the shape of the mountain range in addition to the name. For this reason, the learner can acquire and learn not only the name but also the shape at the same time. Since the shape is particularly memorable, it can be expected to improve the learning effect.

  In the white map area 230, the white map 240 can be enlarged or reduced by a pinch-in operation or a pinch-out operation in which two touched fingers are moved closer to or away from each other, or the entire white map 240 can be dragged to change the position. In addition, the hiragana display designation icon 241 is used for designating that the answer is displayed in hiragana, for example, “Ousan Mountains” is displayed as “Ousansanyaku”.

  Similarly, the kanji display designation icon 242 is used to designate the answer to be displayed in kanji, the voice output designation icon 243 is designated to read out the character of the answer piece, and the timer setting icon 245 is used to set the timer for specifying the answer time. The When the timer setting icon 245 is tapped, the specified time can be set, and if the problem cannot be correctly answered within the set time, it is possible to select whether to return to the “table of contents” or start over. The elapsed time is displayed with a time display icon 246.

  The weakness designation icon 248 is for dragging and dropping a problem piece that the respondent is not good at and classifying the answer as “poor”, and the dropped answer is registered in the weakness table 530. . The super weak specification icon 249 is for dragging and dropping a problem piece that the respondent is not good at, and classifying the answer as “super weak”. The dropped answer is stored in the super weak table 540. be registered.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the learner taps the answer piece 251 of the mountain range from the answer piece region 250, for example, the answer piece 251 of the “Ou Mountain Range” with the finger 260, and further drags to select one of the white maps 240. Move to that position and drop. The moving answer piece is denoted by reference numeral 251A in FIGS. 2 and 8A.

  When the arrangement position of the answer piece 251 on the white map 240 is correct (correct answer area 251B in FIG. 8B), the answer piece 251 is held at the correct answer position of the white map 240. At this time, for example, an effect of “click” is obtained. A sound is emitted (same display screen G4-2). Thereby, the learner can understand that the drop operation position of the answer piece 251 is correct.

  On the other hand, when the answer piece 251 is dropped at a different position, the answer piece 251 returns to the answer piece area 250 and a sound effect such as “boo” is emitted (display screen G4-2 in FIG. 5A). Thereby, the learner can understand that the drop operation position of the answer piece 251 is incorrect. The same operation is performed for the other “mountains”, whereby the learner can learn the positions of the mountains (the same display screen G4-3). This learning involves a series of actions from visual and tap operations to drop operations, and there are screen changes and audio output during correct and incorrect answers, so learners can learn like a game, even for infants and those who are not good at geography. It can be performed.

  At this time, by dropping the incorrect answer piece into the weakness designation icon 248 or the super weakness designation icon 249, by registering the weak question and designating the “review” icon 713 on the table of contents screen 710, Can re-learn. Note that when incorrect answers continue for a specified number of times, it can be automatically classified, for example, as “bad” at 3 times and “very weak” at 6 times (G4-3). Note that the number of times of designation is not limited and may be any other number as necessary.

  When all answer pieces are correctly answered (cleared), the screen returns to the contents screen 710 (same display screen G6). When all the questions cannot be answered correctly within the set time of the timer, it is selected whether to return to the "table of contents" or start over. Yes (display screen G5, display screen G6).

  When the hint display icon 244 is tapped, a hint screen 790 is displayed (see FIG. 9A). In this example, lines 761 to 768 indicating each mountain range are displayed on the white map 240. When the hint display icon 244 is tapped again, the state of the position learning screen 740 is restored.

  If “sea current” is designated on the memorizing item selection screen 720 and “memorize position” is designated on the memorizing method selection screen 730, the same problem regarding the sea current is displayed. As the ocean current, “Reman Current (cold current)”, “Japan Current (warm current): Kuroshio”, “Kurishima Current (cold current): Oyashio”, “Tsushima Current (warm current)” are the answer pieces 811, 812, 813, 814. Is displayed. In FIG. 9B, since the hint is displayed, it is displayed on the white map 240 of each ocean current.

  On the other hand, when the “remember name” icon 732 is tapped on the memorization method selection screen 730, a difficulty level selection screen 820 (the same display screen G6) is displayed. On this difficulty level selection screen 820, an icon 821 indicating “high difficulty level” and an icon 822 indicating “low difficulty level” are displayed and can be selected. In addition, on the left side of the upper end of the difficulty level selection screen 820, characters “823” for returning to the memory selection screen 730 when a tap operation is performed are displayed (see FIG. 10A).

  When the “high difficulty” icon 821 is tapped, a problem screen 830 for remembering the name is displayed (see FIG. 10B). One mountain range is specified by tapping from all the mountain ranges displayed on the white map 240, and the name of this mountain range is input by characters.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10B, the name “Ou Mountains” of the guide line 831 indicating the mountain range described in the Tohoku region of the white map 240 is input. Character input is performed with the soft keyboard 833 which is a character input portion that appears from below when the guide line 831 is tapped. Characters are input to the input window 832 and the correctness is determined.

  In the case of the correct answer, a “click” sound effect is output, and as shown in FIG. 11A, the color of the guide line 831 changes darkly, the name is displayed, and the position is fixed. On the other hand, in the case of an incorrect answer, there is no reaction that the entered characters disappear (display screen G8-2). In this embodiment, the notification means is realized by this. Since this character input can be selected to be performed in hiragana other than kanji, even a person who has not yet learned kanji can learn. When the learner utters a voice and the learning support apparatus 10 has a voice recognition function for recognizing the voice, the voice input function can be used.

  Such an operation is also performed for other learning items (see FIG. 6B and FIG. 12). In the tablet terminal 100, the name of the mountain range can be reproduced by voice to learn the name. By designating the audio output designation icon 243, the name of each answer piece can be read aloud.

  At this time, for example, if the answer piece 811 of the “Reman Current (cold current)” is specified when the learning about “current” shown in FIG. 9B is being executed, the voice “Rimankai Ryu, Kanryu” is specified. It is played with a high trembling voice, reminiscent of coldness. On the other hand, when the answer piece 812 of “Japan Current (warm current): Kuroshio” is specified, the voice “Nihonkai Ryu, Danryu, Betsumei, Kuroshio” is reproduced with a stable low voice reminiscent of warmth. This makes it possible to play an important role for infants who have not yet learned letters, by calling out different points, such as a cram school teacher and mother, to be aware of points to be careful, unlike simple reading.

  The sound quality can be a female voice. For example, a voice that can recall a teacher of a school or a cram school, or a mother makes it more friendly and effective. In addition to being generated by voice synthesis, it is possible to acquire and use a voice generated in advance by a learner, for example, a speaker widely known to elementary school students.

  Thereby, a memory of a learner is helped and a high learning effect can be exhibited. In this example, the white map 240 displays the Reman Current Guideline 801, the Japan Current Guideline 802, the Kuril Current Guideline 803, and the Tsushima Current Guideline 804, which are hints for the answer. In this way, if the voice is featured, it is likely to remain in the learner's memory.

  Moreover, the characteristic of what is specified by the answer piece as speech can be read out. For example, “Mt. Fuji” for volcanoes is “the highest in Japan”, “Lake Biwa” for lakes is “the largest in Japan”, etc. As a result, the information about the answer can be further learned, and since these answers tend to remain in the impression, the learning effect is enhanced.

  Furthermore, it is desirable to add easy explanations for difficult terms such as “polder” and “land reclamation”. For example, “reclaimed land” is “a place where water from seas and lakes is used as land”, and “clearance land” is “a place where plowed mountains are used as fields”. These voices are stored in the voice data storage unit 610 and output when these items are selected from the voice table 590. As a result, even beginners such as elementary school lower grades can learn efficiently.

  In the learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, an arbitrary answer piece is not suitable for specifying an arbitrary answer piece on the learning screen for both “remember position” and “remember name”, that is, the position learning screen 740 and the question screen 830. A drop operation is performed on the designated icon 249. Accordingly, it is possible to re-learn by registering a problem that is not good and specifying the “review” icon 713 on the table of contents screen 710 (G8-3).

  On the other hand, when the “low difficulty” icon 821 is tapped (G9-1), the answer is made through the same display screen as G8-1 and G8-2. In this case, a hint cannot be displayed (G9-2). In this problem, the answer piece displayed in the answer piece area 250 is dragged and dropped onto the item displayed on the white map 240, for example, the position of the guide line of “mountain range”.

  If the answer is correct, the letters in the answer piece disappear, the guide line becomes darker, and the letters are fixed. If the answer is incorrect, there is no response and the answer piece returns to the answer piece area 250. Also on this screen, the answer piece can be dragged to the weakness designation icon 248 or the super weakness designation icon 249 and set to “poor” or “very weak” (G8-3).

  As described above, the learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can learn, with high efficiency, difficult items that are difficult to remember and that are easily extracted manually or manually, by performing “review”.

  Next, a case where “by region” is selected on the memorized item selection screen 720 will be described. By tapping the region-specific field 861 displayed at the bottom of the item selection screen 860 (FIG. 12A) to be remembered by scrolling the memorized item selection screen 720 that is initially displayed, the region selection is displayed as the display screen G10. A screen 870 is displayed.

On this region selection screen 870, each of “Hokkaido Region”, “Tohoku Region”, “Kanto Region”, “Chubu Region”, “Kinki Region”, “Chugoku Region”, “Kyushu Region”, “Okinawa Region” is selected. A column is displayed. When one region, for example, “Tohoku region” field 871 is selected by tapping, a local category screen 880 is displayed as a lower layer item as the next display screen G11 (see FIG. 13A). From this local category screen 880, an item to be learned is selected. The absence of this is different from the display item on the item selection screen 720. In this way, the regions and learning items are hierarchical.

  When a desired item is selected from these and any one of “position” and “name” same as those on the display screen G3 is selected on the display screen G12, the same display as the display screens G4-1 to G9-3 is performed. Can learn by region.

  By learning on this local selection screen, the weighted operation of re-learning the contents of the sea, ocean current, volcano, etc. described above in the area displayed on the map will be performed. It can be confirmed that all necessary information has been stored.

  Next, a case where another menu is selected will be described with reference to FIG. 5B. When “listen” is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, the item selection screens 720 and 860 described above are displayed on the next display screen G14 as shown in FIG. 5B (G14). .

  The learner can select an item and listen to the sound for each learning item in each item (G15). For example, when “Mountain Range” is designated, a screen 890 for listening to “Mountain Range” shown in FIG. 13B is displayed. In the listen screen 890, an item, in this example, a “mountain range” line is displayed on the white map 240.

  In this state, if you tap the line 891 of the mountain range you want to hear, for example, “Ou Mountain Range”, the sound “Ousan Myaku, Yomikata Takuyu” will be output and the text “Ousan Myaku” will be displayed. The Here, when the kanji display designation icon 242 is tapped, “Ou Mountains” is displayed in kanji. Thus, the learner can learn how to read each learning item. This learning is also possible for learners who cannot input characters, such as infants.

  When “sea current” is designated, four current lines 851, 852, 853, and 854 are displayed on the screen 850 for listening to “sea current” (see FIG. 11B). As a result, the same learning can be performed for the “sea current”. In the question to be heard, no answer piece is displayed in the answer piece area 250. Then, the tidal ocean current is output as a voice that is reminiscent of a cold and trembling voice in a cold current, and the warm current is output as a warm and low voice.

  When the icon 714 of the degree of understanding (in this example, “e (en) tsukutsun”) is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, the display screen G20 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B (b). Is done. On this display screen G20, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, characters 901 and 911 are displayed.

  In this example, “e” is imitated as a character. FIG. 14A shows a character display screen 900 at the start of learning, in which a character 901 and a character 902 “birth” are displayed. FIG. 14B shows a character display screen 910 that is displayed when learning reaches a predetermined stage, in which a character 911 that has grown up and wears a mortarboard and a character 912 of “Graduation” are displayed. ing.

  This character grows when you clear each field without incorrect answers. FIG. 15A to FIG. 15S are diagrams showing a state of change accompanying the growth of the character. Characters are “birth” (from FIG. 15 (a), “wake up” (same (b)), “hands have grown” (same (c)), “foot has grown” (same (d)), “ "Fun" (same (e)), "Stretched core" (f)), "Strong core and spine" (same (g)), "Strong core" (same (h)), "Folded" (Just (i)), "primary schoolchild" (same (j)), "Nawatobi" (same (k)), "genki" (same (l)), "first love" (same (m)) , “Broken Adolescence” (same (n)), “Philosophy” (same (o)), “Burn on study” (same (p)), “Contact” (same (q)), “Resigh breath” ( (R)) and “Graduation” (same (s)). The character can be set to grow in various forms other than the above example.

  As described above, in the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the character is personalized and personalized, and the adorableness of the design and the movement that looks like a slight manuke are added. The character itself is attractive. As a result, the learning motivation of the learner, particularly the younger person, is stimulated and can greatly contribute to learning promotion.

  Furthermore, when the review icon 713 is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, a display screen G16 is displayed as shown in FIG. 4B (c). On this display screen G16, as shown in FIG. 15A, a review mode screen 930 is displayed on which a weak icon 931 for designating “I am not good” and a super weak icon 932 for designating “Super weak” are displayed.

  When a tap operation is performed on the “I'm not good” icon, a problem classified as “I'm not good” is selected with reference to the weak table 530 (G17-1). This question processing is performed in the same procedure as the above-described display screen G1 to display screen G12. Further, when the weak icon 942 is tapped, each item or all of the items can be removed from the weak list. The same processing is performed when a tap operation is performed on the super weak icon 932 (G18-1, G17-1, G17-2).

  For this reason, items that are difficult for an individual to remember can be easily selected automatically or manually, so that preparation for review can be largely omitted, and overwhelmingly efficient learning can be performed.

  When the “Use Guide” character 715 is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, as shown in FIG. 5B (d), a display screen G19 describing how to use the learning support device 10 in a document is displayed. The This usage guide describes how to use each mode and main screen. The learner can learn with the learning support device by referring to the usage guide.

  Next, an experimental example using the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the embodiment will be described. Here, the experiment was performed according to the following procedure.

(1) Before each subject uses the geography subject learning support apparatus according to this embodiment, a symbol in a white map with a symbol is designated as a preliminary test, and this symbol is verbally answered. The questions used in the experiment consisted of four learning items: 8 questions in the mountains, 4 questions in the industrial zone, 4 questions in the ocean, 4 questions in the ocean current, 19 questions in the plain, and a total of 39 questions. The geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the form was used for two days. In addition, use time is personal freedom, and the guardian does not lend a hand except explaining how to use.
(3) After each subject used the learning support device of the geography subject, as an effect confirmation test, the same problem as the preliminary test was presented and answered verbally.

  Subjects are subject A (boy 11 years old: small 6), subject B (girls 8 years old: small 3), and subject C (girls 6 years old: small 1).

The results of the experiment are as follows. The change in the number of correct answers among 39 questions is shown.
Subject A: Preliminary test 6 questions-> Effect confirmation test 33 questions Subject B: Preliminary test 0 questions-> Effect confirmation test 39 questions Subject C: Preliminary test 0 questions-> Effect confirmation test 17 questions

  Thus, it can be seen that the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment has a significant effect on geography learning. In particular, the subject B was remarkably pleasant to repeat the correct answer, and as a result of practicing until all the questions were answered correctly in order to see the growth of the character, the subject B showed a remarkable learning effect.

  From the above, it can be seen that the learning support device for geographic subjects according to the present embodiment has high learning efficiency.

  As described above, according to the geography subject learning support apparatus and the geography subject learning support software according to the present invention, the answer piece is dropped on the white map on the various question screens, and the answer is voiced. You can study geography with interest by watching and growing characters.

  Further, the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment can learn any person from an unlearned infant who can read only hiragana or who can read both kanji and hiragana. Furthermore, the operation of the learning support device for the geography subject only needs to be performed on the screen of the tablet terminal. For this reason, the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment can make geographic information that is dry and difficult to remember for those who are not interested in geography learning to be of interest to any person. Can be overwhelmingly easily learned, memorized and memorized.

  Furthermore, since geography and topography are closely related to the history and civilian fields, it is useful to promote interest and interest in social studies and the real world by easily learning geography.

In addition, in the learning support device and the learning support software according to the present embodiment, the learning content is in accordance with the practical textbook of the elementary school, and the countless geographic information is intentionally excluded from the information that is not particularly necessary for the junior high school examination. Since it is a content that covers all necessary and sufficient information until graduating from elementary school and before taking the difficult junior high school entrance examination, it is possible to avoid complexity and increase the efficiency of learning.
At the same time, since it covers a wide range of common sense in social life, not only infants and students but also general members of society can learn geography while having fun. Furthermore, since it can be used easily, even an elderly person can easily operate and enjoy geographic learning while enjoying it.

  In the above embodiment, the area to be learned is Japan, but the area to be learned is not limited to Japan, and can be the geography of other countries and regions, or the world geography. In these cases, the questions and answer pieces are changed so as to be applied to each country and region. The language displayed and generated is not limited to Japanese, but can be other languages. Further, the character may be another character as an index of understanding, and a graph or the like can be used without using the character.

  The present invention is an apparatus that supports learning of geography subjects, particularly elementary school social studies, and is preferably applied to a tablet terminal. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to tablet terminals but also to notebook computers and desktop computers. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a device that supports learning of geography about foreign countries and the world other than Japan.

  The present invention relates to a geography subject learning support apparatus and a geography subject learning support program that can acquire knowledge about geography by displaying a white map on a display such as a tablet computer.

  In the geography subject, for example, elementary school social studies, students learn about various items about Japan. The items to learn include the name, location, prefectural office location and characteristics of prefectures, the name and location of islands, sea areas, and ocean currents, characteristics of the national land, the names and positions of mountains and volcanoes, and the climate of each other region. , Nature, industry, industry, agriculture, etc. There is a wide variety of knowledge to be learned and acquired in this way, and there is also a great deal of knowledge that the learner should memorize. It is not easy for young learners to acquire such a large amount of knowledge over many items.

  In recent years, computers and tablet computers (tablet terminals) have become widespread, and paper textbooks, reference books, and map books, which have been used in the past, have been used to acquire a large amount of knowledge in many fields such as geography subjects. In addition, it is considered efficient to support learning with a computer or tablet terminal.

  Many learning support apparatuses using computers and tablet terminals have been proposed. In Patent Document 1, an arbitrary part of the image is clipped, and the clipped remaining worm-eaten image is used as a question image, and the clipped part is used as a correct option for the worm-eaten at the original position. It describes what performs learning using a computer.

  In Patent Document 2, a plurality of words such as English words and idioms are stored in a storage device for each predetermined group, and the user cannot understand or understand the meaning of the words appearing on the monitor screen. The words that were not understood are memorized for the words that were not understood, then erased from the monitor screen, and the words that were divided by the above operations were again classified into those that did not memorize their meanings. , This classification operation is repeated a plurality of times, and words that are not understood are divided into a plurality of storage difficulty ranks for each ease of storage and stored in the storage device for each storage difficulty level. Yes.

Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, in order to realize computer aided instruction (CAI) by multimedia such as voice and video, the color of the screen is changed in synchronization with the sound, and the menu button is indicated by an arrow.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A geographic subject learning support apparatus and a geographic subject learning support program according to an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a learning support device for a geography subject according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2A is a block diagram illustrating a table of the learning support device for the geography subject, and FIG. FIG. In the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a geography subject learning application program is stored in the tablet computer (tablet terminal) 100, and each step of the geography subject learning program is executed. Can learn about Japanese geography.

  First, an outline of the hardware configuration of the tablet terminal 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, a tablet terminal 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 120, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 130, an SSD (Solid State Drive) 140 that is a large-scale storage device, a touch panel. 150, a speaker 180 as an audio reproduction means, an audio output control unit 181 and the like are connected by a bus 190. The touch panel 150 includes an image display unit 160 that is a liquid crystal display device and a touch sensor 170. The image display unit 160 is connected to the bus through the display control unit 161, and the touch sensor 170 is connected to the bus through the input / output control unit 171. 190.

  The tablet terminal 100 is driven based on a predetermined operating system (OS), for example, iOS, Android, Windows (registered trademark), and the like, and a learning program for a geography subject according to the embodiment is installed. When the learning application program is activated, a control table 500 and a data area 600 storing various data such as questions and answers are formed in the RAM 130 and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the table 500 includes an item table 510 that specifies learning item data to be displayed, a local table 520 that specifies local name data, a weak table 530 that specifies weak item data, and a super weak point. Super weak table 540 for specifying item data, question table 550 for specifying question and answer data, answer table 560 for specifying learner's answer, scoring table 570 for storing comprehension points, character stage indicating comprehension level A stored stage table 580, an audio table 590 storing audio reference data, and the like are provided. The learning support device 10 operates based on each data stored in the table 500. In the embodiment, “I am weak” corresponds to the first classification, and “Super weak” corresponds to the second classification.

Further, in the data area 600, as shown in FIG. 2B, a voice data storage unit 610, a question answer data storage unit 620 as voice data storage means, an answer piece data storage unit 630 as answer piece data storage means, A character image data storage unit 640 and the like are provided. The voice data storage unit 610 stores voice data for reading a name that identifies the answer piece. Here, the voice data can be sound quality that recalls the characteristics of the answer specified by the answer piece.
Also, in this embodiment, the voice is a voice that can be emphasized by changing the voice sound, for example, by a teacher of a school or a cram school, a mother, etc. Unlike simple narrator reading in a stick reading state, it is more friendly and impressive, especially for young children who are not familiar with letters.

  Further, for example, the sound quality of the sound data about the ocean current is changed depending on the cold current and the warm current. That is, the cold current is recalled with a trembling high voice for the cold current, and the warm and low voice for the warm current. Further, it is assumed that the voice data includes characteristic voice data for reading out the characteristics of the one specified by the answer piece in addition to the name voice data for specifying the answer piece.

  The characteristic sound property data is, for example, the characteristics of the target specified by the answer piece, for example, “Cold current” or “Warm current” if it is an ocean current, or the altitude ranking in Japan if it is a mountain, Provide explanatory data. In this way, by raising the attention of the answer points to be noted by changing the voice, it is possible to enhance the learning effect especially for an infant who has not yet learned characters. Note that these voice data can be generated by voice synthesis, and can be obtained as voice data by acquiring in advance a learner, for example, a speaker who is widely known to elementary school students.

  The question and answer data storage unit 620 stores the question and answer data. The answer includes a position on the white map, a name text as display data, and the like. The answer piece data storage unit 630 stores a symbol figure or the like imitating the name and shape of each answer piece (for example, a prefecture outline shape, a river line, a lake outline shape, etc.). The question answer data storage unit 620 stores white background data and serves as white map data storage means. By providing the shape of each answer piece, the learner can memorize the answer as an image, and learning efficiency is further improved.

  In the tablet terminal 100, a tap operation for selecting a display object displayed on the display surface by performing a touch operation on the display surface 220 of the image display means 160 with a finger or a stylus pen as a contact object, the tap operation The drag operation for moving the displayed object and the drop operation for placing the dragged display object at a desired position are possible.

  In the tablet terminal 100, the CPU 110 uses the RAM 130 as a work area to process the geography learning program stored in the SSD 140, thereby realizing the function of the geography learning support device. That is, the question is displayed on the display surface 220, the correctness of the answer input by the learner is determined, and the fact is presented to the learner.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the appearance of the learning support device of the geography subject. As shown in FIG. 3, the tablet terminal 100 has a touch panel 150 disposed on the surface. An operation button 211 and a camera lens 212 are arranged on the surface of the tablet terminal 100.

  In order to use the tablet terminal 100 as a learning support apparatus for geography subjects, a geography subject learning program is installed in the tablet terminal 100 and this program is executed. In the geography subject learning program started in this way, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed during learning. In this example, an item for learning the position of a Japanese “mountain range” divided as a learning item in a geography subject is selected.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the display surface 220 is displayed in landscape orientation (landscape display), but the display surface 220 can be displayed in portrait orientation (portrait display). At this time, the displayed image is optimized and displayed on the display surface 220 arranged horizontally or vertically. This is automatically changed according to the vertical orientation of the tablet terminal 100.

  For example, when learning the position of the “mountain range”, the display surface 220 of the touch panel 150 includes a white map area 230 on which a white map 240 including the Japanese archipelago, which is an area for answering the problem, is displayed, and an answer piece 251 for “mountain range”. An answer piece region 250 in which a plurality of 252 253 254 255 are displayed is displayed divided vertically. Here, the answer piece area 250 can be scrolled to the left and right by a touch operation, and other answer pieces can be displayed. Each answer piece is displayed with a name and, if necessary, a symbol.

  In this example, in addition to the white map 240, the white map area 230 includes a hiragana display designation icon 241, a kanji display designation icon 242, a voice output designation icon 243, a hint display icon 244, a timer setting icon 245, as various designation icons. A time display icon 246, a home icon 247, a weak point designation icon 248 as a first classification button, and a super weak point designation icon 249 as a second classification button are displayed.

  The learner taps the answer piece 251 of the “mountain range” from the answer piece area 250, for example, the answer piece 251 of the “Ou Range” with the finger 260, and further moves to the Tohoku region of the white map 240 and performs the drop operation. . For easy understanding, FIG. 3 shows a state where the answer piece (251A in the figure) in the moving state is surrounded by a broken line and arranged at the answer position (shown by 251B in the figure).

  The tablet terminal 100 determines whether or not the position of the answer piece 251 on the white map 240 is correct, and notifies the learner of the correctness based on the voice and the behavior of the answer piece 251. The same operation can be performed for other “mountain” answer pieces, whereby the learner learns the position of the mountain range.

  The order of the answers is arbitrary. Furthermore, the tablet terminal 100 can learn the name by reproducing the name of the mountain range by voice.

  Hereinafter, operation | movement of the learning assistance apparatus 10 of the geography subject which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated. First, an outline of the learning support operation in the learning support apparatus 10 will be described. 4A and 4B are flowcharts showing an outline of the operation of the learning support apparatus of the geography subject.

On the “table of contents screen”, five modes that can be executed by the learning support apparatus 10 are displayed, and one mode can be selected from these. There are five items that can be selected: “Learn”, “Listen”, “Review”, “Understanding”, and “Usage Guide”.

  When “learn” is selected, the learner learns the position and name of various learning items selected by operating the image displayed on the display surface 220 of the tablet terminal 100, for example, “mountain range”, “sea current”, and the like. Can do. When “listen” is selected, the name of the learning item selected by the tablet terminal 100 is read out.

  When “review” is selected, problems that the learner has performed in the past with the tablet terminal 100 are displayed again. When “understanding level” is selected, a character that grows according to the level of understanding of the past learning (degree of correct answer), in this example, a character named “e (en) Tsukutsun” is displayed. Each mode item can be given a “phonetic” so that lower grade students can understand it.

  When “Remember” or “Listen” is selected on the “Contents” screen, a “Remember Contents” screen is displayed (S320). On the “Remembering table of contents screen”, a desired item is selected from “Remembered items” and “Regional” classified into regions. As the “remembered items”, for example, geographical items such as “sea”, “sea current”, “volcano”, “mountain”, “mountain range”, etc. are listed, and the item “by region” is displayed below. This item data is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 with reference to the item table 510.

  If “review” is selected on the “table of contents screen”, the review process is performed and the “review mode screen” is displayed (S330). On the “review mode screen”, “poor” or “super weak” classified in the answers to past questions is selected. By selecting one of these, a “Remembering Contents screen” is displayed to display the problems classified as “I do n’t like” or “I do n’t like” (S320).

  Further, when “understanding level” is selected on the “table of contents screen” in S310, the “understanding level screen” is displayed (S340), and characters that have grown according to the understanding level are displayed. Data stored in the stage table 580 is referred to for the character growth degree (stage), and image data is acquired from the character image data storage unit 640. In addition, on the “understanding level screen”, a “home button” for returning to the “table of contents screen” is displayed.

  When “how to use guide” is selected on the “table of contents screen”, the “how to use guide screen” is displayed (S350). On the “how to use guide screen”, explanations on how to use the learning support apparatus 10 at each stage are displayed in text. In addition, a “home button” for returning to the “table of contents screen” is displayed on the “how to use guide screen”.

  When one item is selected from the types to be remembered on the “Remembering Contents screen” in S320, the “Learn how to select screen” is displayed via the “Learn” and “Listen” branches (S360) (S370). On the “memorization selection screen”, one of “remember the position” or “remember the name” can be selected.

  When “Remember the position” is selected on the “Remember how to select” screen, a “Problem to remember position” screen is displayed (S380: see FIG. 4B). At this time, the presented question is acquired from the question answer data storage unit 620 by referring to the question table 550 based on the item selected on the “memorization selection screen” in S370. In addition, characters, images, and the like of the answer piece are acquired from the answer piece data storage unit 630.

When the learning support apparatus 10 is activated, a table of contents screen 710 is first displayed as the display screen G1 (see FIGS. 5A and 6A). On the table of contents screen 710, a “remember” icon 711, a “listen” icon 712, a “review” icon 713, an “understanding” icon 714, and a “how-to-use guide” character 715 are displayed. Each icon 711, 712, 713, 714 has a furigana.

  When the “remember” icon 711 is tapped on the table of contents screen 710, the item selection screens 720 and 860 to be remembered are displayed as the display screen G2 (see FIGS. 6A and 12A). The memorized item selection screen 860 shown in FIG. 12B is a screen that appears when the memorized item selection screen 720 is scrolled downward.

The memorized item selection screen 720 is displayed in a list as a parallel list so that memorized items can be selected. In this example, the ocean, ocean currents, volcanoes, mountains, mountains, highlands, lakes, rivers, plains, basins, islands, peninsulas, straits, bays, fishing ports, farms, thriving agricultural areas, reclaimed land, clearing lands, irrigation canals , the four major industrial zone, an industrial city, traditional industrial, world heritage Site, National Park, the main airport, the main trading port, railway and Shinkansen (registered trademark), railway and main road line, highway, state, and prefectural The location. This screen can be scrolled in the vertical direction, and items below are displayed continuously (for example, an item selection screen 860 to be remembered). At the lowest position of the memorized item selection screen 860, as shown in FIG. 12A, a display area for selecting “by region” is displayed in addition to other items.

  When one of these items, for example, the “mountain range” display area 721 in the item selection screen 720 is tapped, the next display screen G3 is displayed. Note that a “table of contents” character 722 that returns to the table of contents screen 710 when a tap operation is performed is displayed on the upper left side of the item selection screen 720.

  On the remembering method selection screen 730 on the display screen G3, an icon 731 for “remembering a position” and an icon 732 for “remembering a name” are displayed (see FIG. 7A). The “remember” icon 731 is tapped when learning the position of the selected item, for example, “mountain range” with a white map.

  The “remember name” icon 732 is tapped to learn the item displayed on the white map, for example, the name of each “mountain range”. In addition, on the left side of the upper end of the learning method selection screen 730, a “remembered item” character 733 that returns to the item selection screen 720 to be remembered by a tap operation is displayed.

  When the “remember” icon 731 is tapped, a position learning screen 740 for remembering the position is displayed as a display screen G4 (see FIG. 7B). The position learning screen 740 includes a white map area 230 in which a white map 240 of the Japanese archipelago is displayed and an answer piece area 250 in which answer pieces 251, 252, 253, 254, and 255 of “Mountain Range” are displayed up and down. It is divided and displayed.

  The answer piece area 250 can be scrolled left and right to display other answer pieces. In this example, the answer piece 251 is “Ou Mountains”, the answer piece 252 is “Hida Mountains”, the answer piece 253 is “Iki Mountains”, the answer piece 254 is “Akaishi Mountains”, and the answer piece 255 is “Kiso Mountains”. . When the answer piece area 250 is scrolled horizontally, answer pieces of “Suzuka Mountains”, “Hidaka Mountains”, and “Echigo Mountains” are displayed as other mountain ranges. Each answer piece shows the shape of the mountain range in addition to the name. For this reason, the learner can acquire and learn not only the name but also the shape at the same time. Since the shape is particularly memorable, it can be expected to improve the learning effect.

  In the white map area 230, the white map 240 can be enlarged or reduced by a pinch-in operation or a pinch-out operation in which two touched fingers are moved closer to or away from each other, or the entire white map 240 can be dragged to change the position. In addition, the hiragana display designation icon 241 is used for designating that the answer is displayed in hiragana, for example, “Ousan Mountains” is displayed as “Ousansanyaku”.

  Similarly, the kanji display designation icon 242 is used to designate the answer to be displayed in kanji, the voice output designation icon 243 is designated to read out the character of the answer piece, and the timer setting icon 245 is used to set the timer for specifying the answer time. The When the timer setting icon 245 is tapped, the specified time can be set, and if the problem cannot be correctly answered within the set time, it is possible to select whether to return to the “table of contents” or start over. The elapsed time is displayed with a time display icon 246.

  The weakness designation icon 248 is for dragging and dropping a problem piece that the respondent is not good at and classifying the answer as “poor”, and the dropped answer is registered in the weakness table 530. . The super weak specification icon 249 is for dragging and dropping a problem piece that the respondent is not good at, and classifying the answer as “super weak”. The dropped answer is stored in the super weak table 540. be registered.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the learner taps the answer piece 251 of the mountain range from the answer piece region 250, for example, the answer piece 251 of the “Ou Mountain Range” with the finger 260, and further drags to select one of the white maps 240. Move to that position and drop. The moving answer piece is denoted by reference numeral 251A in FIGS. 2 and 8A.

  When the arrangement position of the answer piece 251 on the white map 240 is correct (correct answer area 251B in FIG. 8B), the answer piece 251 is held at the correct answer position of the white map 240. At this time, for example, an effect of “click” is obtained. A sound is emitted (same display screen G4-2). Thereby, the learner can understand that the drop operation position of the answer piece 251 is correct.

  On the other hand, when the answer piece 251 is dropped at a different position, the answer piece 251 returns to the answer piece area 250 and a sound effect such as “boo” is emitted (display screen G4-2 in FIG. 5A). Thereby, the learner can understand that the drop operation position of the answer piece 251 is incorrect. The same operation is performed for the other “mountains”, whereby the learner can learn the positions of the mountains (the same display screen G4-3). This learning involves a series of actions from visual and tap operations to drop operations, and there are screen changes and audio output during correct and incorrect answers, so learners can learn like a game, even for infants and those who are not good at geography. It can be performed.

  At this time, by dropping the incorrect answer piece into the weakness designation icon 248 or the super weakness designation icon 249, by registering the weak question and designating the “review” icon 713 on the table of contents screen 710, Can re-learn. Note that when incorrect answers continue for a specified number of times, it can be automatically classified, for example, as “bad” at 3 times and “very weak” at 6 times (G4-3). Note that the number of times of designation is not limited and may be any other number as necessary.

  When all answer pieces are correctly answered (cleared), the screen returns to the contents screen 710 (same display screen G6). When all the questions cannot be answered correctly within the set time of the timer, it is selected whether to return to the "table of contents" or start over. Yes (display screen G5, display screen G6).

  When the hint display icon 244 is tapped, a hint screen 790 is displayed (see FIG. 9A). In this example, lines 761 to 768 indicating each mountain range are displayed on the white map 240. When the hint display icon 244 is tapped again, the state of the position learning screen 740 is restored.

  If “sea current” is designated on the memorizing item selection screen 720 and “memorize position” is designated on the memorizing method selection screen 730, the same problem regarding the sea current is displayed. As the ocean current, “Reman Current (cold current)”, “Japan Current (warm current): Kuroshio”, “Kurishima Current (cold current): Oyashio”, “Tsushima Current (warm current)” are the answer pieces 811, 812, 813, 814. Is displayed. In FIG. 9B, since the hint is displayed, it is displayed on the white map 240 of each ocean current.

  On the other hand, when the “remember name” icon 732 is tapped on the memorization method selection screen 730, a difficulty level selection screen 820 (the same display screen G6) is displayed. On this difficulty level selection screen 820, an icon 821 indicating “high difficulty level” and an icon 822 indicating “low difficulty level” are displayed and can be selected. In addition, on the left side of the upper end of the difficulty level selection screen 820, characters “823” for returning to the memory selection screen 730 when a tap operation is performed are displayed (see FIG. 10A).

  When the “high difficulty” icon 821 is tapped, a problem screen 830 for remembering the name is displayed (see FIG. 10B). One mountain range is specified by tapping from all the mountain ranges displayed on the white map 240, and the name of this mountain range is input by characters.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10B, the name “Ou Mountains” of the guide line 831 indicating the mountain range described in the Tohoku region of the white map 240 is input. Character input is performed with the soft keyboard 833 which is a character input portion that appears from below when the guide line 831 is tapped. Characters are input to the input window 832 and the correctness is determined.

In the case of the correct answer, a “click” sound effect is output, and as shown in FIG. 11A, the color of the guide line 831 changes darkly, the name is displayed, and the position is fixed. On the other hand, in the case of an incorrect answer, there is no reaction that the entered characters disappear (display screen G8-2). In this embodiment, the notification means is realized by this. Since this character input can be selected to be performed in hiragana other than kanji, even a person who has not yet learned kanji can learn. When the learner utters a voice and the learning support apparatus 10 has a voice recognition function for recognizing the voice, the voice input function can be used.

  Such an operation is also performed for other learning items (see FIG. 6B and FIG. 12). In the tablet terminal 100, the name of the mountain range can be reproduced by voice to learn the name. By designating the audio output designation icon 243, the name of each answer piece can be read aloud.

  At this time, for example, if the answer piece 811 of the “Reman Current (cold current)” is specified when the learning about “current” shown in FIG. 9B is being executed, the voice “Rimankai Ryu, Kanryu” is specified. It is played with a high trembling voice, reminiscent of coldness. On the other hand, when the answer piece 812 of “Japan Current (warm current): Kuroshio” is specified, the voice “Nihonkai Ryu, Danryu, Betsumei, Kuroshio” is reproduced with a stable low voice reminiscent of warmth. This makes it possible to play an important role for infants who have not yet learned letters, by calling out different points, such as a cram school teacher and mother, to be aware of points to be careful, unlike simple reading.

  The sound quality can be a female voice. For example, a voice that can recall a teacher of a school or a cram school, or a mother makes it more friendly and effective. In addition to being generated by voice synthesis, it is possible to acquire and use a voice generated in advance by a learner, for example, a speaker widely known to elementary school students.

  Thereby, a memory of a learner is helped and a high learning effect can be exhibited. In this example, the white map 240 displays the Reman Current Guideline 801, the Japan Current Guideline 802, the Kuril Current Guideline 803, and the Tsushima Current Guideline 804, which are hints for the answer. In this way, if the voice is featured, it is likely to remain in the learner's memory.

  Moreover, the characteristic of what is specified by the answer piece as speech can be read out. For example, “Mt. Fuji” for volcanoes is “the highest in Japan”, “Lake Biwa” for lakes is “the largest in Japan”, etc. As a result, the information about the answer can be further learned, and since these answers tend to remain in the impression, the learning effect is enhanced.

  Furthermore, it is desirable to add easy explanations for difficult terms such as “polder” and “land reclamation”. For example, “reclaimed land” is “a place where water from seas and lakes is used as land”, and “clearance land” is “a place where plowed mountains are used as fields”. These voices are stored in the voice data storage unit 610 and output when these items are selected from the voice table 590. As a result, even beginners such as elementary school lower grades can learn efficiently.

  In the learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, an arbitrary answer piece is not suitable for specifying an arbitrary answer piece on the learning screen for both “remember position” and “remember name”, that is, the position learning screen 740 and the question screen 830. A drop operation is performed on the designated icon 249. Accordingly, it is possible to re-learn by registering a problem that is not good and specifying the “review” icon 713 on the table of contents screen 710 (G8-3).

  On the other hand, when the “low difficulty” icon 821 is tapped (G9-1), the answer is made through the same display screen as G8-1 and G8-2. In this case, a hint cannot be displayed (G9-2). In this problem, the answer piece displayed in the answer piece area 250 is dragged and dropped onto the item displayed on the white map 240, for example, the position of the guide line of “mountain range”.

  If the answer is correct, the letters in the answer piece disappear, the guide line becomes darker, and the letters are fixed. If the answer is incorrect, there is no response and the answer piece returns to the answer piece area 250. Also on this screen, the answer piece can be dragged to the weakness designation icon 248 or the super weakness designation icon 249 and set to “poor” or “very weak” (G8-3).

  As described above, the learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can learn, with high efficiency, difficult items that are difficult to remember and that are easily extracted manually or manually, by performing “review”.

  Next, a case where “by region” is selected on the memorized item selection screen 720 will be described. By tapping the region-specific field 861 displayed at the bottom of the item selection screen 860 (FIG. 12A) to be remembered by scrolling the memorized item selection screen 720 that is initially displayed, the region selection is displayed as the display screen G10. A screen 870 is displayed.

On this region selection screen 870, each of “Hokkaido Region”, “Tohoku Region”, “Kanto Region”, “Chubu Region”, “Kinki Region”, “Chugoku Region”, “Kyushu Region”, “Okinawa Region” is selected. A column is displayed. When one region, for example, “Tohoku region” field 871 is selected by tapping, a local category screen 880 is displayed as a lower layer item as the next display screen G11 (see FIG. 13A). From this local category screen 880, an item to be learned is selected. The absence of this is different from the display item on the item selection screen 720. In this way, the regions and learning items are hierarchical.

  When a desired item is selected from these and any one of “position” and “name” same as those on the display screen G3 is selected on the display screen G12, the same display as the display screens G4-1 to G9-3 is performed. Can learn by region.

  By learning on this local selection screen, the weighted operation of re-learning the contents of the sea, ocean current, volcano, etc. described above in the area displayed on the map will be performed. It can be confirmed that all necessary information has been stored.

  Next, a case where another menu is selected will be described with reference to FIG. 5B. When “listen” is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, the item selection screens 720 and 860 described above are displayed on the next display screen G14 as shown in FIG. 5B (G14). .

  The learner can select an item and listen to the sound for each learning item in each item (G15). For example, when “Mountain Range” is designated, a screen 890 for listening to “Mountain Range” shown in FIG. 13B is displayed. In the listen screen 890, an item, in this example, a “mountain range” line is displayed on the white map 240.

  In this state, if you tap the line 891 of the mountain range you want to hear, for example, “Ou Mountain Range”, the sound “Ousan Myaku, Yomikata Takuyu” will be output and the text “Ousan Myaku” will be displayed. The Here, when the kanji display designation icon 242 is tapped, “Ou Mountains” is displayed in kanji. Thus, the learner can learn how to read each learning item. This learning is also possible for learners who cannot input characters, such as infants.

  When “sea current” is designated, four current lines 851, 852, 853, and 854 are displayed on the screen 850 for listening to “sea current” (see FIG. 11B). As a result, the same learning can be performed for the “sea current”. In the question to be heard, no answer piece is displayed in the answer piece area 250. Then, the tidal ocean current is output as a voice that is reminiscent of a cold and trembling voice in a cold current, and the warm current is output as a warm and low voice.

  When the icon 714 of the degree of understanding (in this example, “e (en) tsukutsun”) is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, the display screen G20 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5B (b). Is done. On this display screen G20, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, characters 901 and 911 are displayed.

  In this example, “e” is imitated as a character. FIG. 14A shows a character display screen 900 at the start of learning, in which a character 901 and a character 902 “birth” are displayed. FIG. 14B shows a character display screen 910 that is displayed when learning reaches a predetermined stage, in which a character 911 that has grown up and wears a mortarboard and a character 912 of “Graduation” are displayed. ing.

  This character grows when you clear each field without incorrect answers. FIG. 15A to FIG. 15S are diagrams showing a state of change accompanying the growth of the character. Characters are “birth” (from FIG. 15 (a), “wake up” (same (b)), “hands have grown” (same (c)), “foot has grown” (same (d)), “ "Fun" (same (e)), "Stretched core" (f)), "Strong core and spine" (same (g)), "Strong core" (same (h)), "Folded" (Just (i)), "primary schoolchild" (same (j)), "Nawatobi" (same (k)), "genki" (same (l)), "first love" (same (m)) , “Broken Adolescence” (same (n)), “Philosophy” (same (o)), “Burn on study” (same (p)), “Contact” (same (q)), “Resigh breath” ( (R)) and “Graduation” (same (s)). The character can be set to grow in various forms other than the above example.

  As described above, in the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the character is personalized and personalized, and the adorableness of the design and the movement that looks like a slight manuke are added. The character itself is attractive. As a result, the learning motivation of the learner, particularly the younger person, is stimulated and can greatly contribute to learning promotion.

  Furthermore, when the review icon 713 is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, a display screen G16 is displayed as shown in FIG. 4B (c). On this display screen G16, as shown in FIG. 15A, a review mode screen 930 is displayed on which a weak icon 931 for designating “I am not good” and a super weak icon 932 for designating “Super weak” are displayed.

  When a tap operation is performed on the “I'm not good” icon, a problem classified as “I'm not good” is selected with reference to the weak table 530 (G17-1). This question processing is performed in the same procedure as the above-described display screen G1 to display screen G12. Further, when the weak icon 942 is tapped, each item or all of the items can be removed from the weak list. The same processing is performed when a tap operation is performed on the super weak icon 932 (G18-1, G17-1, G17-2).

  For this reason, items that are difficult for an individual to remember can be easily selected automatically or manually, so that preparation for review can be largely omitted, and overwhelmingly efficient learning can be performed.

  When the “Use Guide” character 715 is selected on the table of contents screen 710 on the display screen G1, as shown in FIG. 5B (d), a display screen G19 describing how to use the learning support device 10 in a document is displayed. The This usage guide describes how to use each mode and main screen. The learner can learn with the learning support device by referring to the usage guide.

  Next, an experimental example using the geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the embodiment will be described. Here, the experiment was performed according to the following procedure.

(1) Before each subject uses the geography subject learning support apparatus according to this embodiment, a symbol in a white map with a symbol is designated as a preliminary test, and this symbol is verbally answered. The questions used in the experiment consisted of four learning items: 8 questions in the mountains, 4 questions in the industrial zone, 4 questions in the ocean, 4 questions in the ocean current, 19 questions in the plain, and a total of 39 questions. The geography subject learning support apparatus 10 according to the form was used for two days. In addition, use time is personal freedom, and the guardian does not lend a hand except explaining how to use.
(3) After each subject used the learning support device of the geography subject, as an effect confirmation test, the same problem as the preliminary test was presented and answered verbally.

  Subjects are subject A (boy 11 years old: small 6), subject B (girls 8 years old: small 3), and subject C (girls 6 years old: small 1).

The results of the experiment are as follows. The change in the number of correct answers among 39 questions is shown.
Subject A: Preliminary test 6 questions-> Effect confirmation test 33 questions Subject B: Preliminary test 0 questions-> Effect confirmation test 39 questions Subject C: Preliminary test 0 questions-> Effect confirmation test 17 questions

  Thus, it can be seen that the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment has a significant effect on geography learning. In particular, the subject B was remarkably pleasant to repeat the correct answer, and as a result of practicing until all the questions were answered correctly in order to see the growth of the character, the subject B showed a remarkable learning effect.

  From the above, it can be seen that the learning support device for geographic subjects according to the present embodiment has high learning efficiency.

  As described above, according to the learning support device for geographic subjects and the learning support program for geographic subjects according to the present invention, the answer piece is dropped on the white map on various question screens, and the answer is viewed by voice. You can learn the geography with interest by doing and growing characters.

  Further, the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment can learn any person from an unlearned infant who can read only hiragana or who can read both kanji and hiragana. Furthermore, the operation of the learning support device for the geography subject only needs to be performed on the screen of the tablet terminal. For this reason, the geography subject learning support apparatus according to the present embodiment can make geographic information that is dry and difficult to remember for those who are not interested in geography learning to be of interest to any person. Can be overwhelmingly easily learned, memorized and memorized.

  Furthermore, since geography and topography are closely related to the history and civilian fields, it is useful to promote interest and interest in social studies and the real world by easily learning geography.

In addition, in the learning support apparatus and the learning support program according to the present embodiment, the learning content is in accordance with the practical textbooks of elementary schools, and information that is not particularly necessary for the junior high school examination is intentionally excluded from countless geographic information. Since it is a content that covers all necessary and sufficient information until graduating from elementary school and before taking the difficult junior high school entrance examination, it is possible to avoid complexity and increase the efficiency of learning.
At the same time, since it covers a wide range of common sense in social life, not only infants and students but also general members of society can learn geography while having fun. Furthermore, since it can be used easily, even an elderly person can easily operate and enjoy geographic learning while enjoying it.

  In the above embodiment, the area to be learned is Japan, but the area to be learned is not limited to Japan, and can be the geography of other countries and regions, or the world geography. In these cases, the questions and answer pieces are changed so as to be applied to each country and region. The language displayed and generated is not limited to Japanese, but can be other languages. Further, the character may be another character as an index of understanding, and a graph or the like can be used without using the character.

  The present invention is an apparatus that supports learning of geography subjects, particularly elementary school social studies, and is preferably applied to a tablet terminal. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to tablet terminals but also to notebook computers and desktop computers. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to a device that supports learning of geography about foreign countries and the world other than Japan.
