PURPOSE:To easily and rapidly generate a learning schedule proper for each learner, by constituting a device so that an appropriate learning item is selected automatically from the level and the learning objective of the learner, and a learning schedule is edited according to a learning hour per day. CONSTITUTION:When the pre-requisite knowledge and the learning objective of the learner,and the learning hour per day are inputted with, for example, a menu system, using a keyboard 11, and a display 12, a learning range decision part 14 decides a learning range. A schedule editing part 15 selects the learning item from a manual name record within the learning range decided by the learning range decision part 14, and sets a bit of learning item information at a schedule displaying work table 16. At such a time,a time piece calculating part 17, setting the learning hour per day as a reference, performs the addition of the learning hour per day set at the manual name record within the hour, and decides the learning item a day. Thus, the content of the schedule displaying work table 16 is displayed on the display 12 finally.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A learner inputs prerequisite knowledge and learning goal information from a display/keyboard device, selects a course corresponding to the learning scope, and inputs the study time per day.
This automatically creates a learning schedule for when and what materials to study.

[Industrial application field]

The first invention relates to an interactive individual learning schedule creation processing device that creates a learning schedule specific to a learner using a data processing device.

[Conventional technology]

For example, let's say you want to learn about COBOL programming. In this case, the content of the teaching material changes depending on the prerequisite knowledge that the learner has already acquired and the learning goals.

That is, if the learner is completely new to COBOL programming.

If you have experience in programming to print forms.

The teaching material you should select will differ depending on whether you have created a program to read or write a database. Furthermore, the learning objectives differ depending on whether the learning goal is to acquire basic knowledge, create a program to read and write a database, create a program to perform transaction processing, etc.

However, since there are a wide variety of teaching materials, it is not easy to select the most appropriate teaching materials for each learner.

Traditionally, when creating a learning schedule for each individual, each learner referred to various models, selected teaching materials, and created a learning schedule by himself, or an experienced educational trainer manually created a learning schedule. 1 was created.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventionally, learning schedules have been created by two manual processes, which poses the problem of requiring a great deal of effort and time to create one. Additionally, there was a problem in that the quality of the created learning schedule was influenced by the skills of the educational trainer.

Furthermore, especially when students study for a certain number of hours a day, there is a problem in that it is difficult to obtain accurate information such as when the course will end.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a device that can easily and quickly create an individual study schedule according to the learner's level (prerequisite knowledge) and learning goals.
