In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an electronic learning machine according to a second aspect is the electronic learning machine according to the first aspect, in which the recording means records the past continuous legal number, and the control means has the continuous legal number. The feature is that the problems that have reached the predetermined number of times are excluded from the question candidates.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the electronic learning machine according to claim 3, in the electronic learning machine according to claim 2, the proportion of the questions excluded from the candidate candidates in all correct answers is a predetermined value. It is also characterized in that the problems removed from the question candidates are added to the question at a specific rate when the number exceeds.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an electronic learning machine according to a fourth aspect is the electronic learning machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the recording means records all the past correctness for a predetermined number of times. However, the control means is characterized in that if the contents of the recording means are all correct answers, the control means removes them from the question candidates and, except for all correct answers, changes the question probability according to the correct answer rate.

[0009]

According to the electronic learning machine of claim 1, since the correct / wrong status of the answers of the past several times is recorded and the question to be asked is selected according to the recorded contents, the correct answer is again made. Questions can be given, and as a result, the efficiency of learning can be improved.

According to the electronic learning machine of claim 2, since the number of consecutive correct answers in the past is recorded and the question in which the number of consecutive correct answers reaches a predetermined number is excluded from the question candidates, the one that is surely remembered and answered correctly is selected. It is possible to distinguish from correct answers that happen to occur in ambiguous memory, and as a result, the efficiency of learning can be improved.

According to the electronic learning machine of claim 3, when the ratio of all questions correctly excluded from the question candidates to all questions exceeds a predetermined value, the questions excluded from the question candidates are also identified. Because it is added to the question in proportion, it can make you notice a problem that you have forgotten and have forgotten.

According to the electronic learning machine of claim 4, all the correct number of past correctnesses for a predetermined number of times are recorded, and if the contents of the record are all correct answers, they are excluded from the question candidates. Since the questioning probability is changed by changing the questioning probability, it is possible to give a question with a higher probability as the number of correct answers decreases, and more efficient learning can be performed.
