[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, when creating learning materials using a computer, for example, key typing practice 9 words! Nine separate teaching materials must be created depending on the learning format, such as mastery exercises and fill-in-the-blank drill exercises.

Attempts to capture these using a common technique were unsuccessful. Therefore, educational material support tools have become necessary for each type of learning format.

In addition, introducing game-like elements as a means of motivating learners to digest a certain amount of calikierum, and making the goal of winning the game, is considered to be effective in achieving the learning objectives. Conventional.

With support tools for creating teaching materials for fill-in-the-blank drill exercises, which are generally called authoring systems, it has been difficult to set game functions in the teaching materials.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems, and creates a computer-aided teaching material that can support multiple types of learning formats with a single problem data format, and that motivates learning by introducing game elements. The purpose is to provide a means to do so.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a question data file in which question data is stored, 11 is a game data file in which game data such as animation is stored, and 12 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse.

13 is a processing device consisting of a CPU, memory, etc.

14 is a question display processing section, and 15 is a correct/incorrect judgment processing section.

16 is a game win/loss processing section, and 17 is a display.

Reference numeral 18 represents a question display and answer input area, and reference numeral 19 represents a game screen display area 19 where game animations and the like are displayed.

The question data file 10 has a zero-question data format in which question data created in a predetermined data format in which the correct answer is included in one question is stored in advance.

The 0-question display processing unit 14, which is a single 0-question display regardless of the learning format, reads question data from the 9-question data file IO,
Each question data is decomposed into 9 display data and correct answer data, and display data with the correct answer part left blank is created to display the question on the display 17 and in the answer input area 18.

The correct/incorrect determination processing unit 15 compares the answer input data input into the one-question display and answer input area 18 from the input bag W112 with the correct answer data extracted from the question data by the one-question display processing unit 14, and determines correctness. It performs processing.

When the 9-question display processing section 14 displays the questions, the game win/loss processing section 16 displays a game screen based on animation or the like stored in the game data file 11 in the game screen display area 19, and the correct/incorrect judgment processing section 15 Correct answer by
Depending on the incorrect answer, the winner or loser of the game is determined, and a screen determined by the winner or loser is displayed.

(Operation) In the present invention, a game function is incorporated by the game win/loss processing unit 16 as a framework for the 9-problem exercise.

Figure 2 is an example of problem data according to an embodiment of the present invention;
The figure shows an example of an execution screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of data structure during problem exercise execution, FIG. 5 shows a main processing flow according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a problem file creation process flow according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 8 is an execution process flow according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an execution process according to an embodiment of the present invention 1 shows a comprehensive judgment processing flow according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The problem creator uses an editor or the like in advance to create problem data in a predetermined data format and sets it in one problem data file IO. This problem data has a format such as 9, for example, problem data+11 shown in FIG. In problem data (1) in Figure 1, DI.

D2 is data for displaying 9 questions and presents the contents of 9 questions. A11. A12. A2 is correct answer data, and is data that is compared with the answer input by the learner.

The correct data can be divided into 3 by bracketing it with “　” and “〕”.
Set in question data to distinguish it from display data. If there is more than one correct answer for a question, please write another answer as ","
” to describe it.

Question data is created in units of 9 lines with a maximum of 80 digits.

The format of the question data file 10 is as shown in FIG. 2 (a), following title display data.

It is possible to store up to 100 lines of problem data.

Figure 2 (b) is an example of problem data for key typing practice, Figure 2 (c) is an example of problem data for one-word learning exercise, and Figure 2 (d) is an example of problem data for one-word learning exercise.

Fill-in-the-hole drill/ii! This is an example of study problem data.

For these different types of learning forms, the data format is single, and correct answer data is shown in parentheses.

In the case of the problem “A [A] ゛ shown in Figure 2 (B),
When executing the exercise, “A〔〕” is displayed.

“The area inside []” is used as the answer input area. If you type “A”, the answer is correct, and any other input is incorrect. 0 Enter the same character (or word or sentence) that is displayed. This is called "key typing practice".

In the case of the question "FLOWER (flower) °" shown in Figure 2 (c), "FLOWER ()" will be displayed when the exercise is executed.Since the question is about the meaning of the word, it will be called "Word acquisition exercise". Become.

The 1-source chain dynasty shown in Figure 2 (d) begins [Samurai] politics. ′, when performing the exercise.

“Minamoto Kujicho begins [] politics.” is displayed.

This will be a "fill-in-the-blank drill exercise."

The display on the display during exercise execution for such question data is performed as shown in FIG.

When the question data is read, the correct answer data part is left blank and displayed in the one question display and answer input area 18. And like Invaders games etc.

An Axilan type game screen is displayed in a game screen display area 19. In the example in Figure 3, the attack target is a UFO,
At the same time as the question is asked, the UFO is made to move from right to left.

If the correct answer, ``Constitution of Japan,'' is entered in the answer input area within the time limit, a bullet fired from the ultra ray cannon will hit the UFO. if.

If a wrong answer is entered, it will be displayed so that the first bullet misses.

As for the point allocation method, the user can select one of the following two methods.

(a) Allocate points for each interval.

(bl　A point is allocated for each line.

If you select this (alO method), regardless of the number of 9 lines,
You can earn points by answering each question correctly. In case of tbl.

You cannot score points unless you answer all questions in one line correctly.

In order to perform this kind of processing, the input question data is
It is managed using a data structure as shown in FIG.

The problem data is as shown in Figure 4 (a).

For problems with up to 100 lines, 1-line question data, 1-line point allocation, 1-line correct/false judgment information, 1-line score, total number of questions, total number of correct questions, total points allocated, and total score. will be subject to internal management.

The problem data for one row is 9 as shown in Figure 4 (b).
Question data for display, correct answer data for each question, answer input area length, score allocation, correct/incorrect judgment information, and score areas are managed for 0 display question data.

As shown in FIG. 4(c), the data is decomposed into a maximum of 11 pieces of display component data. Correct answer data is broken down into a maximum of five different answers for each question.

For example, assume that the contents of the 9-question data file IO are as follows.

V*English grammar drill 1 +1) I (have ton mu
st) go at once.

(2) Take good (care) (of)
yourself, J In this case, the title display data is “*English Grammar Drill 1”.0 The question data for display is 1st line is “+11 1 0 go at onc
e, ``and the 12th line is ``+21 Take g
ood 0 0 yourself,”.

During the exercise, the display question data in the first row is decomposed into two secondary component data.

■“+l1l(″, ■“) go at once,
``The display problem data on the second line is decomposed into three parts data of the 9th order.

■“+21 Take good (' , ■“)
[1゜■”) yourself, ' The correct data has ton l1u3t in the first line.
'.

The correct answer data in the first line, in which the second line is "care" and "of", is further decomposed into the following two parts during the exercise.

■"have to" * ■'must'The answer input area length is 7 for the question on the first line and 4 for the first width on the second line.
The second frontage is set to 2. In the case of the problem on the first line, there are two correct answers, @have to ' and 'l1ust', but the number of characters in "have to", which has more characters = 9
7 is the set value.

When assigning points in one row, 1 as shown in Figure 4 (a).
If you set an implicit value or a user-set value in the point allocation field for the event position and allocate points based on the 1-ken car position.

An implicit value or a user-set value is set in the score column shown in FIG. 4(b).

In this example of English grammar drill, when assigning points in one line,
The total number of questions is 2, and the total score is ``points for 1 row x 2''.If the points are allocated in 1-space car positions, the total number of questions is 3, and the total score is ``points for 1 line x 2''. ×3".

Assume that the learner practices this problem and inputs "-must" as the answer to the question on the first line, and "kare" and "of" as the answer to the question on the second line. True/False As judgment information, for the question on the first line, 1 true 1.
For the question in the second row, the first “wrong” and the second “correct” are set.Then, based on this correct/incorrect judgment information, the score is calculated for 1 row position or 1 space position, respectively. will be held.

Next, the flow of processing according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9.

The main processing is as shown in FIG.
