Description

Question-and-answer educational and motorized devices - in which the learner chooses an answer to a question from a set of answers.

The utility model relates to the field of auxiliary educational equipment, namely, a developmental and testing tool for effectively conducting developmental activities with children dedicated to the formation of the development of attention, logical thinking, fine motor skills, motor coordination, memory training for children of preschool and primary school age.

It is widely known in the field of developmental tools for children the use of paper collections of tasks, workbooks. One of the widely used tasks is "Search for the ninth". This task is the most effective means for the development of intellectual activity. Based on the analysis of the regularity of the arrangement of the elements of the table, which contains 9 cells, one of which is empty. The child must analyze all the cells in horizontal, vertical and diagonal positions, and select the missing element, according to the logic, from those available in other cells. In this case, the child must draw this element in a free cell. The teacher evaluates the correctness of the choice of the child's answer.

It's described in the books:

1. Gavrina S.E., Kutyavina N.L., Toporkova I.G., Shcherbinina S.V. Simulator: attention, memory, thinking, Edition for developmental education, Moscow, "ROSMEN", 2016, p. 30;

2. A.I. Savenkov, N.I. Savenkova, How to find a regularity? Developing notebook for children of preschool and primary school age. - M .: Pedagogical Society of Russia, 2000, p. 20;

3. Big book of logic games and puzzles for kids / V.G. Dmitriev. Moscow: AST Publishing House, 2016, p. 21.

A common disadvantage of such paper publications is:

1. the impossibility of checking the correctness of the assignment by children during independent work;

2. the presence on the data sheets of paper publications of tasks of other types, which are a distraction when the child completes the task;

3. the lack of the possibility of reusing paper working material, since after the child completes the task, the drawn image remains in an empty cell;

4. the amount of working material in paper editions is not enough to conduct developmental activities with children, taking into account the sequence, complexity and thematic content;

5. low interest in classes with paper publications due to the lack of interactivity.

Known "Device-simulator for classes on the restoration of intellectual activity in patients with neurological clinics by analyzing the elements of the table", which proposes solutions to eliminate the above disadvantages. The positives are:

1. multiple use of task cards, achieved by using paper stickers pasted into an empty cell of the task card. On this sticker, the subject draws an image of the missing element in accordance with the logic of solving the problem. The used sticker is then easily removed without leaving any traces;

2. the systematization of tasks by content and degree of complexity in the form of interchangeable task cards was carried out;

3. after completing the task, the subject can compare the image drawn by him with the image in the closed cell under the sticker;

4. there is an increase in the interest of the subjects in the classes being conducted due to the fact that the work is carried out with a device that introduces an element of novelty into the process of classes compared to the use of traditional printed simulators.

However, this device has disadvantages:

1. task cards are prepared in advance by specialists: stickers covering the image are pasted on the selected cells and installed on the device during the lesson. The lesson is conducted mainly with the participation of a specialist. In the case of working with children in developmental classes, it is required, along with performing tasks with a teacher, to complete tasks independently;

2. a relatively long time to prepare the simulator device and cards for the lesson;

3. The insufficient degree of interactivity when checking the correctness of the tasks is that when the sticker is peeled off, the subject immediately sees the result, and this, in turn, excludes the possibility of finding a logical solution in the case of a multivariate solution. This card needs to be replaced;

4. In the case of using this device for activities with children, it is possible for children to peep the correct answer in order to correctly complete the task.

Documents CN 102629424 A, 08/08/2012, CN 2234103 Y, 08/28/1996, CN 1661646 A, 08/31/2005 are known. The positive aspects described in these device documents are:

1. multiple use of paper task cards;

2. minimum preparation time for work;

3. ensuring the possibility of independent work of the subjects with the device without the presence of a teacher;

4. interactivity when performing tasks.

Common to the described devices in the documents CN 102629424 A, 08/08/2012, CN 2234103 Y, 08/28/1996, CN 1661646 A, 08/31/2005 is the method of encoding the correct answer on cards in the form of graphic images or a barcode. However, this method of encoding and optical reading has the following disadvantages:

1. coding elements may be damaged during use (mechanically or graphically). In this case, it is impossible to correctly read the electronic component of the correct answer option code;

2. When working independently, the child can guess the correct answer by the location and combination of optical images, barcodes.

Known document KR 20090054883 A, 06/01/2009, which describes a device, the positive aspects of which are:

1. minimum preparation time for work;

2. interactivity in the performance of tasks;

3. providing the possibility of independent work of the subjects with the device without the presence of a teacher.

A feature of the operation of this device is the presence of an “RFID task key”, which determines the selection of the necessary task (or several tasks) from the device’s memory in accordance with the age of the child and the didactic task with information displayed on a graphic display. In this case, there is no paper carrier.

However, this device has disadvantages:

1. the lack of paper media (cards) makes it difficult for children to correctly perceive tasks due to the peculiarities of electronic information display devices;

2. the sequence of tasks is determined by the "RFID-key of the task", it is impossible for the teacher to quickly make changes to the sequence and number of tasks performed;

3. it becomes more difficult to quickly view tasks before the teacher starts teaching;

4. great difficulty in creating individual or group tasks by the teacher himself. In the case of paper cards, any teacher can do this.

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above printed simulators and electronic devices, an "Electronic developmental and testing tool for classes with children" was developed.

The tasks to be solved by the claimed technical solution are:

1. interaction of the developing and testing tool with ready-made paper carriers in the form of task cards;

2. multiple use of task cards;

3. ensuring the possibility of independent work of the subjects with a developmental testing tool without the presence of a teacher;

4. interactivity in the performance of tasks;

5. minimum preparation time for work;

6. The subject cannot see or predict the correct answer in advance.

The technical result of this utility model is achieved in that it contains a dielectric housing, the upper surface of which interacts with the task card by means of an RFID tag, in the lower part on the front side of the housing there are six tact buttons for selecting the correct answer, on the right side of the tact buttons there are two red and green indicator LEDs for displaying the result, a switch is located in the lower right side part, and a microcontroller device, an RFID module, a battery compartment for 3 AA batteries are mounted inside the case.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which show:

Fig.1. The upper front panel of the housing with the location of the elements of the developmental and testing tool for classes with children, where: 1 - housing made of dielectric material; 2 - restrictive sides; 3 - battery compartment for 3 AA batteries; 4 - step-up DC voltage converter; 5 – RFID module; 6 - ARDUINO microcontroller platform; 7,8,9,10,11,12 – answer choice buttons; 13 - indicator of the correct answer; 14 - indicator of incorrect answer; 15 - power switch; 16 – external power supply socket.

Fig.2. Structural electrical diagram of a developing and testing tool for classes with children, where: battery - a power battery of three AA salt cells, with a total voltage of 4.5V; boost converter limited to 9 V; ARDUINO - microcontroller platform; RFID - radio frequency identification module; SA1 - power switch; Х1 – socket of external power supply; S - opening contact of the power socket; SB1-SB6 - buttons for selecting answer options; HL1 - red LED; HL2 - green LED; R1, R2 - LED current limiting resistors.

The proposed developing and testing tool (see Fig. 1) consists of a dielectric housing (1) of a rectangular shape 230x160, 40 mm thick, along the perimeter, in addition to the upper side, there are restrictive sides (2) 5 mm high, which form on the upper panel of the housing ( 1) a cavity, the dimensions of which correspond to the size of an A5 printed sheet, and its depth is equal to the height of the restrictive ledges (2).

In the lower part on the front side of the case (1) there are six buttons for selecting the answer option (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12), on the right side of the buttons there are two indicator LEDs of red (14) and green (13) for displaying the result, in the lower right side part there is a power switch (15), below the switch on the right side panel there is an external power supply socket (16). A battery compartment for 3 AA batteries (3), a DC boost converter (4), an RFID module (5), an ARDUINO microcontroller platform (6) is attached to the inside of the front panel of the case.

The "Electronic developmental and testing tool for classes with children" works as follows:

Before use, you must install the batteries in the battery compartment for three AA batteries (3). To do this, unscrew the two screws on the bottom side wall, remove the closing bar, slide the battery compartment towards you and install three AA batteries, observing the indicated polarity. To check the health of the elements, you need to move the switch key to the "on" position. When the battery is in good condition, the LEDs flash briefly (13, 14 in figure 1). The installation of batteries is carried out by the teacher. At this stage, the development and testing tool is ready for use. If the tool is used under the supervision of adults (teacher or parents), then it is possible to use an external power supply with a voltage of 7-12V.

To conduct developing classes, a set of task cards is selected in accordance with the subject and age of the student. By imposing a task card on the front panel of the developing and testing tool, installation is carried out in the working position. In this case, the code information is read by the RFID module of the development and testing tool from the RFID tag of the task card. The field for choosing the correct answer of the task card should be above the buttons for choosing the correct answer (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). When set correctly, the LEDs (13, 14) flash for a second. This serves as a signal of readiness for the task. The task field consists of nine cells, one of which is always empty. The rest contain images that differ from each other in certain characteristics: color, shape, arrangement of elements, etc. The child must analyze the task field by rows and columns and deduce the regularity of the arrangement of images in the cells. Based on this, the child determines the missing image in an empty cell. Selects an image from the answer field, which should be in an empty cell. The child clicks on the selected image until it clicks. If the selection is correct, the green LED flashes for five seconds, if the selection is incorrect, the red LED flashes for five seconds. After that, the development-testing tool goes into the ready mode and waits for the answer selection button to be pressed. You can repeat the choice of the correct solution or replace the task card. After completing all the tasks, it is necessary to turn the switch to the “off” position.
