DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the electronic learning machine of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit of this electronic learning machine stores a well-known CPU 10, various programs executed by the CPU 10, a ROM 12 storing a question and an answer to the question, a learning record of each student, and the like. RA to
It is composed of M14 and a bus connecting them.

The ROM 12 is a print program area 16 in which a program for printing a question selected by the user is stored.
And a scoring program area 18 in which a scoring program for scoring by comparing the answer of each student and the correct answer of the question is stored.
And a question data area 20 in which a bar code encoding a question number and a selected answer number is stored together with a question and an answer example divided according to each student's ability, and a correct answer and a correct answer number (of the answer examples) The correct answer data area 22 stores the correct answer number).

The RAM 14 also has a learning recording area 24 for storing data such as learning records of each student, a print data area 26 for storing print data, and other memory areas and various registers.

Further, the CPU 10 is provided with a keyboard 30 having a plurality of keys for inputting various data such as question numbers to be asked, a list of entered question numbers and correct answers stored in the correct answer data area 22 of the ROM 12. A CRT 32 for displaying, a printer 34 for printing a question or a correct answer on a sheet, a reading device 38 for reading a bar code 36 (see FIG. 3) corresponding to a circled example answer in the answer column of the answer sheet are connected. There is.

Next, the printing operation of the problem in the electronic learning machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Regarding the printing of the question, the question sentence and the answer column can be printed continuously on the same sheet for each question, or the data in the answer column can be extracted to separate the question sentence and the answer column from each other. Although it can be printed on a sheet of paper, here, a method of printing the question sentence and the answer column on the same sheet of paper will be described. Further, the question question format is a multiple choice format in which one is selected from a plurality of options, and the answer entry method is that the selected option, that is, an answer example, is circled in the answer column. 3 shows an example of printing, and the shaded area in the drawing is the barcode 36.

First, the question number of the question to be asked for each student is input from the keyboard 30 (S1). Where R
Based on the learning record of each student stored in the learning record area 24 of the AM 14, when the question number is extracted in advance for each student, the student number is input,
The question text of the extracted question number is read from the question data area 20 of the ROM 12 and set as a question to be presented once.

Next, it is judged whether or not all the questions of the entered question number, that is, the questions to be asked, have been printed (S
2) In this case, it has not been printed yet (S2 · N
O) The question number is assigned to the first question as 1 for convenience, and then the question numbers are given in the order in which the questions are given. The question numbers unique to each question are shown in parentheses next to the question number, as shown in FIG. It is printed and printed together with the name field (S3). this is,
This is because the question numbers unique to the questions are meaningless to the students, and it is more natural that the questions are numbered in ascending order from 1.

Subsequently, the question data of the designated question number is read from the question data area 20 of the ROM 12 into the print data area 26 of the RAM 14 (S4), the question sentence is printed (S5), and each question is displayed in the answer column. All the answer examples as options are printed, and a bar code 36 which is coded by combining the question number and the selected answer number of the answer example is added and printed below the answer example (S6). Then, returning to S2, the above process is repeated until all the questions to be asked are printed, and when the printing is completed for all the questions (S2, YES), the printing operation for the questions is completed.

Next, the scoring operation of this electronic learning machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the answer sheet that has been answered by each student, in the answer column of each question, the answer example selected as the answer is circled as shown in FIG. First, the answer sheet is attached to the reading device 38, and the positions where the barcode 36 is printed are sequentially searched from the top of the answer sheet (S11).
Then, when the position where the barcode 36 is printed is detected (S11, YES), it is discriminated whether or not the answer example surrounded by a circle exists in the answer examples above it (S12). ), If there is an answer example surrounded by a circle (S12, YES), the bar code 36 added to the selected answer number of the answer example is read by the reading device 38 (S1).
3), the question number and the selected answer number are obtained based on the barcode 36 (S14). Then, the correct answer (correct answer number) for the question number obtained from the barcode 36 is stored in the ROM 1
Select from the correct answer data area 22 (S15), S1
The correct answer is determined by comparing the selected answer number obtained in 2 with the correct answer number (S16).

Subsequently, the result of the correctness determination is accumulated in the learning recording area 24 as a learning record (S17), and it is determined whether or not the scoring is completed for all the answers (S1).
8). In this case, since scoring has not been completed for all the answers (S18, NO), the process returns to S11.

When the result of the determination in S12 is NO, that is, when the answer example is not circled, it is assumed that there is no answer to the question (S19), and the process proceeds to S17 to learn it. It is accumulated as a learning record in the recording area 24.

When the scoring process is completed for all the questions (S16, YES), the scoring operation is completed.
The learning record stored in the learning recording area 24 is used for output of grades and subsequent selection of review questions.

As described above, in the electronic learning machine, the reading device 3 is provided with the question number of the answer and the option number selected as the answer.
It is possible to automate the scoring by reading in 8 and comparing with the correct answer in the correct answer data area 22. As a result, when scoring questions that were individually asked for each student as in the past,
Compared to scoring while preparing and referring to individual correct answers for each answer, it is possible to save a lot of time.

In the above embodiment, the question number and the selected answer number are combined into one bar code 36, but the question number bar code is added to each question, and the selected answer number bar is added to each option. You may add a code. In this case, it is necessary to read two barcodes for one question with the question number and the selected answer number, but since one barcode becomes shorter, the space for printing the barcode may be smaller, Further, there is an advantage that the barcode can be read easily.

[0026]

As explained above, in the electronic learning machine of the present invention, the correctness is determined by reading the answer question and the example answer with the reading device and comparing it with the stored correct answer to the question. Thus, scoring can be automated. Accordingly, when scoring a question individually given to each student, it is possible to save much labor compared to scoring while preparing and referring to each correct answer for each answer.
