[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, it is well known that a student or the like creates a so-called “fill-in-the-blank” problem in which a specific word in a textbook is hidden when studying for an examination. Such a hole filling problem is relatively easy to create and at the same time exhibits an excellent effect in memorizing words and the like. Further, from the viewpoint of creating a problem, the hole filling problem is often used as an actual test problem because it is easy to create a problem.
[0003]
Conventionally, when creating a hole-filling problem as described above with a computer, morpheme analysis is performed to divide the character string used to create the problem into morphemes, and parts such as “person name”, “place name”, and “number” are filled It was converted as a hole. A morpheme is the smallest language form that has meaning.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the hole filling problem created by the conventional problem creating apparatus, the question part is fixed, and there is a problem that a part to be converted as a hole of each hole filling problem cannot be set freely. In addition, there is a problem that systematic understanding cannot be deepened simultaneously with memorizing words and the like because it is not possible to set explanations corresponding to the holes of each hole filling problem. Furthermore, there is a problem that a hole filling problem cannot be created using a drawing.

[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a computer system for realizing the problem creating apparatus of the present invention. In FIG. 1, this computer system is connected via an arithmetic processing unit 20, a memory unit 30, an I / O unit 40, a dictionary 50, and an I / O unit 40 that are mutually connected by a bus B. The display device 11, the input device 12, the auxiliary storage device 13, the drive device 14, and the recording medium 15 are included.
[0017]
The display device 11 displays various windows and data necessary for operating the computer system. The input device 12 includes a keyboard and a mouse operated by a user of the computer system, and is used for inputting various operation signals to the computer system.
The dictionary 50 is dictionary data such as a national language dictionary, an English-Japanese dictionary, a Japanese-English dictionary, an encyclopedia, an official collection, and a reference book used for problem creation. The dictionary 50 in FIG. 1 is connected to the bus B. However, the dictionary 50 is not limited to this, and a dictionary recorded in the storage medium 15 set in the drive device 14 or the auxiliary storage device 13 may be used. .
[0018]
The problem creation program related to the problem creation apparatus is provided by a recording medium 15 such as a CD-ROM, for example. The recording medium 15 on which the program is recorded is set in the drive device 14, and the program is installed from the recording medium 15 to the auxiliary storage device 13 via the drive device 14 and the I / O device 40.
The auxiliary storage device 13 stores the installed problem creation program and also stores necessary files, data, and the like. The memory device 30 reads and stores the problem creation program from the auxiliary storage device 13 when the computer system is activated. The arithmetic processing unit 20 executes processing related to the problem creation device in accordance with the problem creation program read and stored in the memory device 30.
[0019]
The processing of the problem creating device of the present invention is executed by the arithmetic processing device 20 by reading a program installed in the auxiliary storage device 13 into the memory device 30, for example.
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a learning target sentence creation process executed by the problem creation apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a procedure of learning target sentence creation processing. Note that the learning target sentence refers to a so-called linked document in which a portion used as a hole for a hole filling problem is associated with a predetermined document.
[0020]
Such linking is performed by a language such as Hyper Text Markup Language (hereinafter referred to as “HTML”), Standard Generalized Markup Language (hereinafter referred to as “SGML”), Extensible Markup Language (hereinafter referred to as “XML”). Therefore, linking can be performed not only on documents but also on files such as diagrams and sounds. Further, instead of the learning target sentence, it is also possible to use a learning target diagram in which a portion used as a hole for the hole filling problem is a diagram.
[0021]
Since the learning process of the learning target sentence and the learning target diagram as described above are almost the same, in this embodiment, the learning target sentence generation process will be described as an example. In the flowchart of FIG. 2, in step S10, a document to be converted into a learning target sentence is created by the user. For example, a document that “Ieyasu Tokugawa won and established a government in the battle of Sekigahara in 1600” is created.
[0022]
Proceeding to step S20 following step S10, the arithmetic processing unit 20 performs fictitious linking at a location that the user wants to use as a hole for a hole filling problem, that is, a location set as a so-called link location. For example, in the case of FIG. 3A, the locations to be linked are “Sekigahara Battle” and “won” which are underlined.
[0023]
Proceeding to step S30 following step S20, the arithmetic processing unit 20 sets a dictionary 50 as a link destination. For example, in the case of FIG. 3A, a Japanese language dictionary is set for the “Sekigahara Battle” location, and an English dictionary is set for the “won” location.
In step S40, the arithmetic processing unit 20 searches for a link destination using the set dictionary 50. For example, since the Japanese language dictionary is set as the link destination for the place of “Sekigahara Battle”, the explanation part of “Sekigahara Battle” in the national language dictionary is searched.
[0024]
Progressing to step S50 following step S40, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines whether or not the link destination is in the set dictionary 50 as a result of the search in step S50. If it is determined that the link destination is in the set dictionary 50 (YES in S50), the process proceeds to step S60. If it is determined that the link destination is not in the set dictionary 50 (NO in S50), the process proceeds to step S20, and a location to be linked is set again.
[0025]
In step S60, the arithmetic processing unit 20 sets the detected link destination in place of the fictitious link destination set in step S20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, it is possible to create a learning target sentence in which a link destination is set in “Sekigahara Battle” and “won”.
Progressing to step S70 following step S60, it is determined whether or not all the linking processes have been completed. If it is determined that all the linking processes have been completed (YES in S70), the process is terminated. If it is determined that all the linking processes have not been completed (NO in S70), the process proceeds to step S20 to set a location for linking.
[0026]
Next, a process for creating a hole filling problem from a learning target sentence that is a document in which a portion used as a hole of the hole filling problem is linked will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a hole filling problem creation process executed by the problem creation apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the procedure of the hole filling problem creation process. The filling-in question includes a question sentence or question diagram, an answer column, a correct answer column, a related explanation text, or a related explanation diagram. A question sentence or a problem diagram is a document or a figure created by replacing a part or all of the part where the link destination is set with a blank or the like.
[0027]
In the flowchart of FIG. 4, in step S <b> 100, a learning target sentence for creating a hole filling problem is input to the memory device 30, for example. This learning target sentence may be created, for example, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 or may be recorded in advance in the auxiliary storage device 13.
Progressing to step S110 following step S100, the arithmetic processing unit 20 analyzes the link information of the input learning target sentence. For example, in the case of FIG. 5A, it is possible to analyze that the locations where the link destinations are set are underlined “1600”, “Sekigahara Battle”, and “Ieyasu Tokugawa”.
[0028]
Progressing to step S120 following step S110, based on the link information analyzed in step S110, the arithmetic processing unit 20 stores a database such as the location where the link destination is set and the dictionary 50 of the link destination. Record in device 30.
In step S130, the arithmetic processing unit 20 creates a question sentence by changing a part or all of the place where the link destination is set to a blank, that is, a so-called hole for a hole filling problem, by a process described later. At this time, the arithmetic processing unit 20 records the word described in the hole portion of the hole filling problem in the memory device 30 in association with the hole of the hole filling problem. For example, in the case of FIG. 5B, the place where “Sekigahara Battle” and “Ieyasu Tokugawa” in the learning target sentence in FIG. The words “Battle of Sekigahara” and “Ieyasu Tokugawa” described at the hole are recorded in the memory device 30 in association with the hole of the hole filling problem.
[0029]
Progressing to step S140 following step S130, the arithmetic processing unit 20 sets a link destination for each hole of the hole filling problem and creates an answer column and a correct answer column. In step S <b> 150, the arithmetic processing device 20 outputs the created hole filling problem to the display device 11. With the above processing, a hole filling problem as shown in FIG. 5B is created.
[0030]
Here, the question sentence creation processing in step S130 will be described in detail. FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the question sentence creation process. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, in step S200, the link number counter for counting the number of links is reset, and the count of the number of links is set to zero.
Progressing to step S210 following step S200, the arithmetic processing unit 20 sets a detection pointer at the head of the learning target sentence whose link information is analyzed. Progressing to step S220 following step S210, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines whether or not the detection pointer is set at the end of the learning target sentence. When the process proceeds from step S210 to step S220, since the detection pointer is set at the beginning of the learning target sentence, the process proceeds to step S230. If it is determined that the detection pointer is set at the end of the learning target sentence (YES in S220), the process proceeds to step S270.
[0031]
In step S230, it is determined whether a link destination is set at a location where a detection pointer is set. If it is determined that the link destination is set (YES in S230), the process proceeds to step S240. If it is determined that the link destination is not set (NO in S230), the process proceeds to step S260, and the set position of the search pointer is moved to the next position.
[0032]
For example, when the learning target sentence shown in FIG. 5A is described in HTML, a keyword indicating that the link destination is set is described at the location where the link destination is set. It is possible to determine whether or not a destination is set.
In step S240, 1 is added to the number of link number counters, and the process proceeds to step S250. Progressing to step S250 following step S240, the word described in the location where the link destination is set is recorded in the memory device 30 together with the position. Progressing to step S260 following step S250, the setting position of the search pointer is moved to the next position. Thereafter, the processes in steps S220 to S260 are repeated until the search pointer moves to the end of the learning target sentence.
[0033]
When the detection pointer moves to the end of the learning target sentence, in step S220, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines that the detection pointer is set at the end of the learning target sentence (YES in S220), and proceeds to step S270. In step S270, the number of holes in the hole filling problem is input from the input device 12. Alternatively, the number of hole filling problems may be set in advance, or it may be set so that some of the number of locations where link destinations are set is the number of holes of the hole filling problem. .
[0034]
Proceeding to step S280 following step S270, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines a place to randomly generate a hole to be filled according to the number of holes to be filled or inputted or read in step S270. Proceeding to step S290 following step S280, the arithmetic processing unit 20 blanks the portion determined as the location for generating the hole to be filled, and assigns a serial number from 1 to the blank portion.
[0035]
For example, in the case where two holes for the hole filling problem are created in the learning target sentence in FIG. 5A, a place where the hole for the hole filling problem is generated is determined at random. When “Sekigahara Battle” and “Ikuyasu Tokugawa” are determined as locations to create a hole for the hole-filling problem, the “Sekigahara Battle” as shown in FIG. 5 (B). And “Ieyasu Tokugawa” is blank.
[0036]
The serial number (1) is assigned to the blank part where “Sekigahara Battle” is located in front of the problem sentence, and the serial number (2) is assigned to the blank part where “Tokugawa Ieyasu” is written. Is granted.
Proceeding to step S300 following step S290, the arithmetic processing unit 20 records the word in the hole filling problem, that is, the word described in the blank portion, in the memory device 30 in correspondence with the serial number assigned to the blank portion. . With the above processing, it is possible to create a hole-filling problem from a learning target sentence including a place where a link destination is set.
[0037]
The hole filling problem created in this way will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the hole filling problem. 7 is the problem sentence “In 1600(1)In(2)Won and established the administration. "Is displayed, and the portions represented by the underline are holes (1) and (2) of the hole filling problem. Also, answer columns (1) and (2) are provided corresponding to the holes (1) and (2) of the hole filling problem.
[0038]
For example, when the user inputs an answer in the answer columns (1) and (2) using the input device 12, it can be displayed in the correct answer column whether the answer is correct or incorrect. If the answer is incorrect, the correct answer may be displayed directly in the correct answer field, or the answer may be set to be input again.
In step S300 of FIG. 6, the correctness of the answer entered in the answer field is compared with the word recorded in the memory device 30 corresponding to the serial number in the answer field and the answer entered in the answer field. Can be determined.
[0039]
In addition, a link destination is set for each hole of the hole filling question, and as shown in FIG. 7, after the user inputs a correct answer in the answer column, the user clicks on the hole portion of the hole filling question, thereby linking destination It is also possible to set to display the document. In addition, it is possible to display the linked document as a hint when the user cannot input the correct answer.
[0040]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the problem creating apparatus of the present invention can create not only the filling problem from the learning target sentence but also the filling problem from the learning target diagram. This utilizes the fact that the figure is described in HTML or the like, and its creation method is the same as that for creating a hole-filling problem from a learning target sentence, and therefore description thereof is omitted. For example, the hole-filling problem in FIG. 8 is created by creating holes for the hole-filling problem on the learning target diagram.
[0041]
As described above, the hole-filling problem created by the problem creating apparatus of the present invention can freely change the question location, and the explanation corresponding to the problem hole can be set freely. It is also possible to create a hole filling problem using a drawing.
Therefore, the problem creating apparatus of the present invention has an excellent effect that it can easily create a hole-filling problem that can deepen systematic understanding while memorizing words and the like.
