  In the education field, it is known that questions that encourage thinking are important in order to improve thinking ability. However, there are various thinking skills such as inference ability, reasoning ability to classify, and orderly thinking ability. Even a skilled learning instructor is difficult to judge.

  Also, learners such as children and students may be confused about what to think if the instructor's intention is not communicated when asked.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a learning support system, a learning support method, and a program that enable a learning instructor to perform an appropriate inquiry to a learner to promote the learner's thinking Is one of the purposes.

  In order to solve the above problems, a learning support system according to the present invention is used via a communication network in which a first terminal used by a learning instructor and a second terminal used by a learner are connected. It is a learning support system, item data representing a plurality of items corresponding to the type of thinking ability, question data representing questions defined according to the type of thinking ability, and prescribed according to the type of thinking ability A storage unit that stores and stores speech type data representing a speech type as an answer format, an item distribution unit that distributes and displays the plurality of items to the first terminal, and the first terminal An item extraction unit that extracts an item selected in the first terminal from among the plurality of items based on a signal transmitted from and a question associated with item data representing the item extracted by the item extraction unit Day Based on the above, the question distribution unit for distributing and displaying the question corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item to the first terminal, and the item data representing the item extracted by the item extraction unit A speech distribution unit that distributes and displays a speech type corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item to the second terminal based on the speech type data.

  Here, the type of thinking ability is “extracted” corresponding to the thinking ability to read important information from the information presented to the learner (for example, question sentences and tasks). Based on what we have learned and experienced, to “make a solution policy”, which is equivalent to the thinking ability to see the solution (find the law), to classify multiple things to find the law "Categorize" which is equivalent to the thinking ability of, to find a law, to compare two things, "to compare features", which is equivalent to the thinking ability to find common points and differences, to find a law In order to find the laws, focusing on the things that change along with them, “capturing changes”, which is equivalent to the ability to think about how to change, in order to find the number of sentences and compare the magnitude of the numbers "Compares the size" And the like.

  Questioning data is information specified according to the type of thinking ability, and is a question that should be given to the learner from the learning instructor to encourage the learner to think according to the thinking ability. It is data indicating the contents. Typically, the information includes only the essential part of the question in order to encourage the learner to think according to the thinking ability. When the learning instructor sees the question displayed based on the question data, he can ask the learner a question for encouraging the learner to think according to a predetermined thinking ability.

  Spoken data is information defined according to the type of thinking ability. From a learner's question to a learner's question to encourage the learner to think according to that thinking ability, It is data indicating the contents of the answer to be issued. Typically, the information includes only the essential part of the answer in order to encourage the learner to think according to the thinking ability. The learner is prompted to think according to a predetermined thinking ability by trying an answer according to the displayed story type based on the story type data.

  These question data or speech-type data is information for displaying an incomplete sentence as a question that is configured to display a portion corresponding to a specific problem in a blank in order to have versatility. Also good.

  For example, information for displaying “How did you do when you learned before” as the question can be defined as the question data. In this way, by displaying incomplete sentences as questions and clearly showing the incomplete parts clearly, the learning instructor can ask questions while supplementing the incomplete parts according to the case. Can do.

  In addition, for example, information for displaying “I want to find out” as a story type can be defined as story type data. In this way, the incomplete sentence is displayed as a speech pattern, and the incomplete part is clearly shown in an easily understandable manner, thereby prompting the learner to supplement the incomplete part. Further, the question data or the story type data may be edited by a person having a predetermined authority such as a learning instructor.

  On the other hand, the question data or speech data may be defined in association with a specific problem. For example, the problem data indicating a specific problem may be transmitted to the second terminal together with the story type data, and the problem and the story type may be displayed.

  At this time, a plurality of question data or speech data may be associated with a single question data. For example, the question data is defined as the first data as question data and narrative data for cultivating the thinking ability to “extract” to extract what the problem is seeking as a problem of arithmetic, Thus, the question data and the story type data for cultivating the thinking ability for “making a solution policy” for making a problem solution policy may be defined as the second data and stored in the storage unit. In this way, by defining a plurality of question data, speech data, or a combination thereof in order for a single problem, it is possible to subdivide the process for reaching the correct answer. The learner can cultivate various kinds of thinking skills necessary to reach the correct answer by answering each process in turn.

  In the learning support system, the type of the thinking ability is set for each subject, and when the information about the subject is transmitted from the first terminal, the item distribution unit is configured to store the plurality of items based on the information about the subject. Among these, one or more items corresponding to the subject may be distributed and displayed on the first terminal. For example, even if the type of thinking ability is the same, the question data or the story type data may be different depending on the subject. Further, the question data or the speech data may be different depending on the age of the learner.

  In the learning support system, the first terminal may be capable of switching between display and non-display of at least one of the plurality of items and the question. In the learning support system, the second terminal may be switchable between display and non-display of the talk type.

  The learning support method according to the present invention is a learning support method executed through a communication network in which a first terminal used by a learning instructor and a second terminal used by a learner are connected, In the communication network, item data representing a plurality of items corresponding to the type of thinking ability, question data representing questions defined according to the type of thinking ability, and prescribed according to the type of thinking ability A storage unit that associates and stores the story type data representing the answer type that is the answer format, and distributes and displays the plurality of items to the first terminal; and Step (b) for extracting an item selected in the first terminal from among the plurality of items based on a signal transmitted from the terminal, and item data representing the item extracted in step (b). Based on the question data, the step (c) for distributing and displaying the question corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item to the first terminal, and item data representing the item extracted in the step (b) A step (d) of delivering and displaying a story type corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item on the second terminal based on the associated story type data.

  The learning support program according to the present invention is a learning support program to be executed by a server connected via a communication network with a first terminal used by a learning instructor and a second terminal used by a learner. The server includes item data representing a plurality of items corresponding to the kind of thinking ability, question data representing the question prescribed according to the kind of thinking ability, and an answer format prescribed according to the kind of thinking ability (A) that stores and associates and stores the speech type data representing the speech type that is, and transmits the plurality of items to the first terminal, and transmits from the first terminal Step (b) for extracting an item selected in the first terminal among the plurality of items based on the received signal and associating with item data representing the item extracted in step (b) An item representing the item extracted in step (c), in which a question corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item is distributed and displayed on the first terminal based on the question data obtained and displayed Based on the story type data associated with the data, the step (d) of delivering and displaying the story type corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the item to the second terminal is executed.

In the item display area 610, a plurality of icons 611 to 614 on which items corresponding to the types of thinking ability are written are displayed. The screen 600 may be provided with an icon 620 for arbitrarily switching between displaying and hiding the item display area 610. In addition, the teacher may arbitrarily move the item display area 610 by a predetermined operation (for example, a drag operation).

  In addition, the display format of the item corresponding to the kind of thinking ability is not limited to what is illustrated in FIG. As another example, a tab in which a plurality of items are displayed may be opened by tapping a menu bar provided in the screen. Alternatively, a toolbar including a plurality of icons with items described therein may be provided in the screen.

  In response to an operation (tap operation) performed on the icons 611 to 614, the teacher terminal 210 transmits a signal indicating that a specific item has been selected to the server apparatus 100 (S54). For example, when the teacher terminal 210 detects that the icon 611 has been tapped, the teacher terminal 210 transmits a signal indicating that “inference thinking level 1” has been selected to the server apparatus 100.

  In the server device 100, the item extraction unit 135 extracts the item selected in the teacher terminal 210 from the question-spoken database DB1 based on the signal received from the teacher terminal 210. Subsequently, the question distribution unit 136 distributes and displays the question corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the extracted item on the teacher terminal 210 based on the question data associated with the extracted item (S55). ).

  FIG. 8 is a schematic view illustrating a state in which questions are displayed on the teacher terminal 210. As an example, the question is displayed in a sticky note-like question display area 630 superimposed on the screen 600. In FIG. 8, the icon 611 is selected in the item display area 610, and the question corresponding to “thinking thinking level 1” indicated by the icon 611 is displayed in the question display area 630. By referring to the question displayed in the item display area 610, the teacher can make an appropriate question to the student during the lesson. The question display area 630 may be arbitrarily switched between display and non-display by an operation (tap operation) on the icon 620. In addition, the teacher may arbitrarily move the question display area 630 by a drag operation or the like.

  Further, in the server device 100, the story type distribution unit 137 selects a story type corresponding to the type of thinking ability corresponding to the extracted item based on the story type data associated with the item extracted by the item extraction unit 135. Then, it is distributed and displayed on the student terminals 220A and 220B (S56).

  FIG. 9 is a schematic view illustrating a state in which a story type is displayed on the student terminal 220. As an example, a screen 700 shown in FIG. 9 displays a note that a student can enter freely. Note that the learning material being learned may be displayed on the screen 700. A sticky note-like display area 710 is superimposed on the screen 700 and displayed. Further, an icon 720 for arbitrarily switching between display and non-display of the talk display area 710 may be provided on the screen 700. Further, the student may arbitrarily move the story-type display area 710 by a drag operation or the like.

  The display type of the talk type in the talk type display area 710 is not particularly limited. As an example, as shown in FIG. 9, it may be in the form of a sentence in which contents (for example, prediction and grounds) that the student wants to think are left blank. The student can promote the thinking ability intended by the teacher by referring to the story type displayed in the story type display area 710 or by performing the work of filling the blank.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing another example of a state in which a story type is displayed on the student terminal 220. A screen 730 shown in FIG. 10 is provided with a student teaching material display area 731 and a notebook area 732. In this example, the speech type is directly displayed in a predetermined area (speech type display area 740) in the note area 732.

  When the student writes an answer in the talk type blank displayed in the talk type display areas 710 and 740 (FIG. 9), the talk type is exchanged with the teacher terminal 210 and other student terminals 220 via the network N. The answers written in the display areas 710 and 740 may be shared (shared). In this case, the students may evaluate the answers of other students and share the evaluation results (impressions and evaluation points).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the question corresponding to the item selected by the teacher himself / herself is displayed on the teacher terminal 210, the teacher refers to the displayed question, Appropriate questions can be asked according to the type of thinking ability you wish to develop (intended). In addition, the student can recognize the way of thinking and the required output by referring to the story type displayed on the student terminal 220. Therefore, the student can promote the thinking without difficulty along the proposed way of thinking or toward the desired output. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to efficiently perform learning support for cultivating thinking ability regardless of the experience of the learning instructor.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, this invention is not limited to said embodiment and the modification already described, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, various deformation | transformation are possible.
