DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a learning support system and a structure thereof, and more particularly, to a CAI (Computing) system.
er Aided / Assisted Instruction) and the like, and relates to a method of supporting learning by presenting teaching material data in a form according to the degree of recognition of a learner. The configuration is an apparatus, a recording medium, and a program for configuring the learning support system. The teaching material data refers to general electronic information for obtaining a learning effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art CAI and CAL (Computer Aided / Assi
Sted Learning) and other systems are known. Such a system is constructed focusing on a normal learning progress procedure performed between a teacher and a student. For example, multiple stages are chronological, such as teacher-to-student problem distribution, student-to-teacher answering questions, teacher collection of answers, scoring, and course level management. It is constructed to provide learning support through. In such a system, in order to reduce the operation cost, the teaching materials are replaced with digitized information, and the manual work is replaced with computer processing. That is, the CAI or the like generally adopts an electronic learning mode that employs a keyboard-based typing or a solution selection system using a pointing device such as a mouse.

[0003] There is also known a computer literacy system for training computer operability, for example, a system for learning touch typing. In such a system, the operator,
That is, a learner of touch typing performs key input practice to enable the user to correctly type the example sentence while looking at the example sentence presented on the display. By repeating the key input practice, the learner can learn the keyboard key arrangement, improve the typing speed and the accuracy of the input, and finally can perform the typing input without looking at the keyboard.

The LL (Language Laboratory) is a system for learning support that specializes learning objects in language acquisition.
There is a system. The LL system is generally a group language learning system composed of one parent device and a plurality of child devices, and is provided to a learner using a language learning tape and a LL tape recorder as teaching materials. It provides learning support for learning words. Specifically, the language learning tape is appropriately reproduced or recorded by using each of the LL tape recorders arranged for each learner, and hearing and hearing are performed via an LL headphone set in which a speaker and a microphone are integrated. Repeat speaking. In this way, language practice such as English conversation is progressed. Such a learning form is repetition-type memory learning by ear, that is, so-called auditory auditory memorization by repetition.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In an educational institution, when a teacher grasps a student's learning process, how much the student understands and understands a certain problem (task).
Is an element. For example, the number of memorized English words per unit period in an English test or the like is considered as a guideline for grasping a student's "memory ability". The more words that are memorized properly, the better the progress of the student's learning.

[0006] However, in the conventional system such as CAI, there is a problem that a memory learning element for a learner is scarce. In other words, the main focus is on efficiently obtaining answers to routine questions that are given via an interface, such as a learner (student) answering a certain question (task). Compared with the LL system in which the auditory auditory memorization is performed, the effect of repetitive learning cannot be expected. Although the above-mentioned computer literacy system uses an iterative learning method, it is a system aimed at acquiring computer-related skills, that is, learning so-called operation techniques, rather than learning. It does not promote. Further, when a system such as CAI is used for learning support, a problem arises due to the design concept. In other words, the basic design concept of such a system is a "virtual classroom" in which a plurality of learners simultaneously perform paperless learning via a computer and a network. For this reason, the learner must always be conscious of the classroom-like learning space even when using the computer, and the psychological and time burden increases.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a learning support system to which the present invention is applied. This learning support system includes a learning support server 10 connected to a public network L such as the Internet, and a plurality of clients (terminals) operating as learning devices. As the learning support server 10, a computer having a communication function and a server function can be used. In the case of the Internet, it is constructed as a predetermined Web server in a Web environment. For example, by integrating with a server agent technology in an Internet environment, it is possible to automatically provide data in response to a data presentation request from a plurality of clients. A network environment can be constructed. As the client, a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as “PC”) 20 or a mobile communication terminal 21 that can be connected to the public network L by wire, or a PDA (Person) that can be connected to the public network L via the wireless base station BS.
al Digital Assistants) and PHS (P
Mobile Computing equipment including mobile phones such as personal handy-phone systems 2
A general-purpose computer such as 3 can be used. It is also possible to use a bidirectional TV device or the like which is a composite form of a wired transmission system and a wireless transmission system. Each client
Each of them can be connected to the public network L at any time to enable two-way communication. Wired transmission systems include FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) using optical fiber and Ethe
rnet or the like can be used. In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the learning support server 10 is provided with a main function when implementing the present invention, and the client side is required to use generally equipped functions.

The learning support server 10 has a function and a database shown in FIG.
Abbreviated). That is, the communication control unit 101, the presentation information control unit 102, and the selection processing unit 10 formed by the CPU of the computer reading the computer program directly or via a recording medium.
3, progress management information processing unit 104, progress management information holding unit 1
05, the learning support server 10 comprises the course processing unit 106 and the presentation information DB 107.

The above-mentioned computer program is recorded in a storage device connected to a computer serving as the main body of the learning support server 10 in an arbitrary form that can be read and executed by the CPU. It is recorded on a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, and a semiconductor memory which can be separated from the computer, or is recorded on a program server connected to a campus network, read at the time of use, and installed in the storage device. It may be something. The functions 101 to 106 and the presentation information DB 107 may be formed only by the computer program described above, but are formed in cooperation with an operating system installed in the computer. Is also good.

The presentation information DB 107 stores teaching material data to be presented to the learner in the form of a database. Each piece of teaching material data has its own attribute information. For example, if the teaching material data contains English words,
It has attribute information such as genre and group to which each English word is related, its etymology, meaning, and example sentence sample. That is,
The attribute information can be said to supplementarily represent information related to the teaching material data and characteristics of the teaching material data. All the teaching material data are mutually associated with other teaching material data by the above attribute information and other association information, and one or a plurality of other related teaching material data can be associatively searched out from a certain teaching material data. It has become.

The communication control unit 101 controls bidirectional communication with the client via the public network L. The presentation information control unit 102 performs overall control related to information presentation performed interactively with a learner. For example, when the operation information input by the learner through the client is a presentation request of certain teaching material data, the learning material data and other related teaching material data are displayed in the presentation information D.
The information is acquired from B107 by retrieval and transmitted to the requesting client through the communication control unit 101. In addition, the range of the teaching material data is interactively narrowed down with the learner, and an interface screen for presenting the learning material data is generated.

The selection processing unit 103 includes the presentation information control unit 10
2 performs a selection process on the teaching material data retrieved from the presentation information DB 107 and presented to the learner based on the operation information input by the learner. Specifically, the selection process receives information indicating whether or not the learner has recognized the presented teaching material data, and based on this information and the past operation history, the learner's recognition level of the learning material data. Is determined, and the determined recognition level is assigned to the teaching material data to perform filtering-based classification.
The selection result is stored in the progress management information storage unit 105 for each learner through the progress management information processing unit 104. The operation information from the learner is simple information such as “known” / “unknown”, ／/ ×, and Yes / No, which indicates presence / absence (whether or not) of the presented teaching material data. is there. However, information indicating an intermediate stage may be used. In the following description, two pieces of information “known” / “unknown” will be used for convenience. On the other hand, the recognition level given by the selection processing unit 103 is a multi-step numerical value determined with reference to the presentation interval, the number, the frequency, and other information held in the progress management information holding unit 105 of the teaching material data. Information, which is updated as needed based on information (known / unknown) indicating the degree of recognition input from the learner. In the present embodiment, “0”: (I do not know at all),
"1": (knows but does not remember or is easy to forget), "2": (mostly knows, but somewhat anxious), "3": (familiar) I do.

The recognition level of the teaching material data is determined by
This is performed as follows. -The same learning material data is repeatedly presented to the same learner. When "known" is input from the learner each time, "3" is added to the learning material data. Alternatively, “3” is added when “known” is continuously input to the same teaching material data a fixed number of times or more.・ If “unknown” is entered for the same teaching material data, but “known” is entered by the learner,
That is, if a tendency toward familiarity is observed, “2” is assigned to the teaching material data.・ If “known” is input once or several times for the same teaching material data, but “unknown” is input continuously for a certain number of times from the learner, that is, there is a tendency toward a state of not knowing at all. If it is, "1" is given to the teaching material data. -If the learning material data is the learning material data initially presented to the learner and "unknown" is input from the learner, "0" is added to the learning material data. It should be noted that the above criteria are merely examples and can be changed as appropriate. When the selection process is continuously performed, the learning material data once presented to the learner and given “known” is cumulatively stored in the progress management information storage unit 105. Note that this does not prevent the configuration in which the teaching material data to which “unknown” is added is also stored.

The progress management information processing unit 104 generates learning progress management information based on operation information from a client (learner), and stores this in a progress management information storage unit 105. The progress management information is information indicating the progress of learning reflecting the contents of the instruction operation from the learner on the learning material data in a time series. The progress management information includes a learner ID for identifying the learner, the last use date and time of the learner, history information of operation information, and the like.

The progress management information holding unit 105 allocates a predetermined area of a storage means such as a magnetic disk or a semiconductor memory as an information storage area for each learner, and stores progress management information reflecting the result of the above-described selection processing. Then, a process is performed in which a learner-specific progress management file, which will be described later, is held in an updatable manner.

The course processing unit 106 functions as a course request execution means, and provides support when the learner performs self-learning. Specifically, based on the learning request from the learner, learning information representing the content of the learning is generated based on the attribute information of the teaching material data, and the generated learning information is provided to the learner through the presentation information control unit 102 and the communication control unit 101. To present,
It is stored in the progress management information storage unit 105. The attribute information is provided to the presentation information DB 107 via the presentation information control unit 102.
Obtained by search from.

The generated course information is general information for improving the learner's ability (including the typing operation ability and the degree of recognition of the teaching material data) regarding the item that the learner wants to attend. Specifically, the information includes characteristic detailed information in the teaching material data, keyword information for identifying the teaching material data, typing information for providing guidance on typing, image and audio data, and the like.
For example, when the attribute information is typing information, the course processing unit 106 acquires the typing operation information input by the learner via the presentation information control unit 102, and compares the typing operation information with the typing information in the course information. The comparison operation is performed to determine the degree of accuracy of the typing input. Then, the determination result is re-presented to the learner, and the re-input of the typing from the learner is urged, so that the learning operation is repeatedly performed for the learner. In addition, the instruction operation related to the course request from the learner is usually
This is performed on the teaching material data that is “unknown”, but is not limited to such a form. All the teaching material data for which the screening process has been completed can be the subject of the course process.

On the client side, as shown in FIG. 2B, the information (including the teaching material data) from the learning support server 10 received by the communication control unit 201 is sent to the information presentation unit 2.
In addition to presenting the learning information to the learner via the communication control unit 201, the operation information input unit 202 receives operation information including various request contents and instruction operations from the learner, and transmits the information to the learning support server 10 via the communication control unit 201. The information presenting unit 203
It has an interface for presenting teaching material data and other information to the learner and for receiving required operation information. Usually, it has a presentation output interface such as a browser screen in a Web environment, and the teaching material data and the like are displayed in a presentation form based on the degree of recognition of the learner through the presentation output interface. The operation information input unit 202 is a keyboard, a mouse, and other pointing devices.

<Operation Form> Next, an example of an operation form of the learning support system according to the first embodiment will be specifically described. Here, an example of a case where the present invention is applied to English word memorization learning for English vocabulary acquisition will be described. The teaching material data is an English word that the learner wants to memorize, and information related to the word (for example, a sample sentence sample). To the learner, in addition to such English words, a selection result, a learning progress status, and a course result are presented as appropriate.

A plurality of English words are stored in the presentation information DB 107 together with information on the association of each English word. The association information in this case includes hierarchical relationships, similar relationships, order relationships if there is a sequence, relationships if there are dependencies, groups to which the English word belongs, etc. for associating data such as English words. This is information that allows the user to specify a corresponding word associatively based on a certain English word.

Each English word includes not only relationships that are unique in grammatical structure, such as prefixes, suffixes, roots, and derivatives, but also synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and synonyms. There are relationships that are unique in terms of the meaning of words, such as spelling allophones and polysemous words. In addition, there is a dependency relationship with a relationship to which the word belongs, such as a category to which an English word such as a type of part of speech, a genre, a topic, or a group that frequently appears. These relationships are not unique among the English words, but are expressed in a systematic manner by the relationships with a plurality of overlapping English words.

The presentation information DB 107 uses the related information indicating the relations expressed in a systematic manner to store each English word and its meaning, each English word, each English word and an example sentence, and each English word and its group. Is constructed in association with For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a group file F11, a word file F12, an example sentence file F13,
The presentation information DB 107 is constructed including the meaning file F14. The group file F11 records groupable elements together with identification data, for example, a group of English words having a meaning related to "emotion", a group of English words having a meaning related to "discussion", and so on. is there. The word file F12 records data of individual English words and their attribute information. In the example sentence file F13, an example sentence indicating a typical usage of an English word is recorded using the English word included in the sentence as a keyword. In the meaning file F14, the meanings of a plurality of English words that are properly used according to the group or the example sentence are recorded. These files F1
1 to F14 are rule tables F in which the above system is regularized.
The file management unit FM controls reading of information recorded in a file based on T.

The presentation information DB 107 thus constructed
From, one or a plurality of English words and other information can be associatively searched for and extracted using a certain English word as a key. Also, by using the above-mentioned association information, a specific English word can be used by the learner when taking English words.
Alternatively, even if the word is ignored in the selection process, the word may be recursively searched out and presented to the learner through another related English word. A recursive search is:
It means reproducible presentation of ignored English words to the learner, which effectively acts on the memory of the learner who performs the memorization type learning, in order to further enhance the recognition degree .

FIG. 4 shows a processing procedure of the learning support server 10 for enabling the above operation, and FIG. 5 shows a processing procedure of the client side. (Processing 1 of Learning Support Server 1: Selection Process) In the learning support server 10, when a learner receives a presentation request of an English word to be memorized from a client, the learner sends the request to the presentation information control unit 102 (step S101: Yes). ). The instruction operation in this case is an input operation including designation of a group to which the English word belongs and designation of the number of presentations of the English word. Presentation information control unit 1
02 indicates an English word corresponding to the operation information in the presentation information DB.
107 is retrieved (step S102), and the retrieved English word is transmitted to the requesting client (step S10).
3). As will be described later, the learner performs an instruction operation of “known” through the client if the user recognizes the presented English word, and “unknown” otherwise.

When the operation information indicating the contents of the instruction operation is received (step S104: Yes), the contents are transmitted to the selection processing unit 103. Based on the operation information, the selection processing unit 103 recognizes the learner (“0” to “3”).
Is determined (step S105), and a selection result including the determined recognition level is generated (step S10).
6), the selection result is stored in the learner's progress management file F21 of the learner (progress management information holding unit 107) and transmitted to the client (step S10).
8). If the content of the instruction operation is “known”, the English word is held as known data, and if the content of the instruction operation is “unknown”, the English word is held as unknown data ( Step S105: known). Step S if there is a continuous presentation request from the client side
Step 101 and subsequent steps are repeated (Step S112: No,
S113: Yes). If there is no continuous presentation request, information indicating the progress result generated by the progress management information processing unit 104 and held in the progress management information management unit 105 is transmitted to the client. Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S101 (step S112: No, S113: No, S114).

(Process 1 on Client Side) The processing on the client side corresponding to the process in the learning support server 10 is shown in FIG. 5 (steps S201 to S208, S214 to S2).
17) will be described. The client transmits a request for presentation of an English word specified by the learner to the learning support server 10 (step S201). When the relevant English word and other related English words or example sentence samples are received from the learning support server 10, they are presented to the learner (step S202: Yes, S203). If there is input of operation information from the learner, that is, if there is an instruction operation of “YES” (known) or “NO” (unknown), the operation information is transmitted to the learning support server 10. (Step S204: Yes, S205). When the selection result is sent from the learning support server 10 based on the operation information, the selection result is presented to the learner (step S).
206: Yes, S207). When the learner continuously makes a presentation request, the continuation request is transmitted to the learning support server 10 and the process returns to step S201 (step S208:
No, S214: Yes, S215). If there is no continued presentation request, the process waits for reception of the progress result from the learning support server 10 (step S208: No, S214: No, S21)
6). When the progress result is received, it is presented to the learner (step S216: Yes, S217). After that, the process returns to step S201.

(Sorting Process) FIG. 6 shows an example of an interface displaying the results of the sorting process performed as described above. In this interface, the English word “Sympathy” displayed at the top is the English word presented to the learner by the learning support server 10 based on the presentation request. "YE
The icon display of "S" and "NO" indicates the English word "Sympathy"
This is for allowing the learner to select whether or not the learner is aware of. If the learner knows the meaning of this English word "Sympathy" and how to use it, "YES" (that is, "known"), if he does not know (or forgets)
"NO" (that is, "unknown") will be operated.
The English word "Emot" displayed under the "YES" icon
“ion” and the like are English words that are “known” by the learner, and the English words displayed under the “NO” icon are:
It is an English word that is considered "unknown". Learning support server 10
The (selection processing unit 103) identifies the content of the instruction performed by the learner on the English word “Sympathy” based on the instruction operation from the learner. If the data is known data, the English word “Sympathy” is changed to “YES”. Is inserted into the English word group displayed under the icon of "". If the data is unknown data, it is inserted into the English word group displayed under the icon of "NO".

The processing result of the recognition level is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows an example of an interface showing a state of a cognitive level at a certain point in time for a certain learner. In the example of FIG. 7, the recognition levels of “0” to “3” are represented by four types of symbols. English words with “○” are English words with a recognition level of “3”, English words with “×” are English words with a recognition level of “0”,
An English word indicated by an “up arrow” is an English word having a recognition level of “2”, and an English word provided with a “down arrow” is an English word having a recognition level of “1”. This recognition level is presented to the learner in the process of step S206. Note that the recognition level may be represented by a chronological progress from the time the recognition level is given or a search frequency from the presentation information DB 107 by a change in display color on the presentation screen.

(Processing 2 of Learning Support Server: Course Processing) Returning to FIG.
Accepts a study request from a learner for the selected English words as appropriate. When a learning request is received from a certain learner, the learning support server 10 (the learning processing unit 106)
Generates the course information and sends it to the client of the learner who has made the course request (Step S112: Yes, S1
09, S110). (Process 2 on Client Side: Course Processing) Processing on the client side corresponding to the course processing in the learning support server 10 is as shown in steps S208 to S213 in FIG. That is, when a learning request is input from a learner, the learning request is transmitted to the learning support server 10 (step S208: Yes, S209). When the course information is received from the learning support server 10, it is presented to the learner (Step S210: Yes, S211). The processes in steps S208 to S211 are repeated until a learner's completion instruction is input from the learner (step S212: N
o). If there is a learning completion instruction from the learner, the learning completion information is transmitted to the learning support server 10 and the process is terminated (Step S212: Yes, S213). Note that any condition other than the end of the course process can be set as the condition for the end of the process.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an interface presented to a learner by the above-described course processing.
Here, an example of the detailed information presented by the course processing unit 106 in association with the English word “Premise” generated based on the attribute information and the related information of the English word “Premise” is shown. In this example, detailed information including a Japanese translation of the English word "Premise", sample example sentences, synonyms, antonyms, and etymologies are presented.

Learning support server 10 (presentation information control unit 10
2) presents the associatively searched out English words and detailed information as described above on a browser screen as an interface. At this time, the number is limited to a number that can be displayed in an effective area of the browser screen. Operate. If the number of English words exceeds the number that can be displayed, the number of English words is temporarily held, and subsequently transmitted to the client side while being included in the English words retrieved from the presentation information DB 107 continuously. I do. At the time of the next display, the client preferentially displays the English words whose display was previously restricted.

The presentation information control unit 102 also uses a certain English word as a key to recursively search an already selected English word from the presentation information DB 107, and to set the recognition level assigned to this English word. Is reflected so that the English word is presented reproducibly. On the browser screen, the recognition level given to such an English word is also presented.
Thereby, the learner can grasp the selection result made in the past.

(Learning Progress Status Management) Here, learning progress status management based on the result of the selection process as described above will be described. In a very simple manner, the progress of the learning is calculated by determining the ratio of the known data to all the English words stored as the presentation target in the presentation information DB 107. It can be grasped by displaying it on the client browser screen. The calculation result is, for example, a target value (presentation information DB10
7 is generated with a degree of achievement of 50% (when half of the total is known data) with respect to the number of data in a predetermined range within 7). The learner can sequentially confirm the achievement degree of his / her learning by looking at the result. As in the puzzle display, a predetermined area on the browser screen is represented by using a specific display color to represent the entire presentation information DB 107, and each area representing an English word for each recognition level is represented by a different display color. It is also possible to present the ratio so that it can be visually grasped. The browser screen in FIG. 9 shows this state. The learner can grasp the progress of his / her memorization learning from such a progress result.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when presenting an English word to a learner, the recognition level of the learner is reflected, so that the memorization of the English word can be promoted. This makes it possible to realize a memorized learning mode that can flexibly and more effectively respond to the learner's memory.

Further, the presentation information DB 107 is constructed based on the related information between the English words, and associatively searching for other related English words by using a certain English word as a key. Will be presented repeatedly, and will be more effective in memorizing learning. In addition, even an English word that has been selected in the past is recursively searched out from other English words and presented, so that it can appeal to the learner's memory and further increase the degree of recognition of the English word. Can be enhanced.

Since the learner can take courses with the course information generated based on the attribute information of English words, a lot of related information can be easily obtained from one English word, and the learner can learn English. Can be enhanced.

The recognition level is given to the English words to be selected so that the recognition level can be updated in accordance with the time series and is presented to the learner at any time. Changes in the degree and the degree of recognition can be easily grasped on the screen.

Since the presentation form of English words can be controlled only by a simple instruction operation such as “Yes” / “No”,
A convenient interface with reduced load on operation input is realized. From this, the learner can associatively increase the number of English words that become known data based on the self-recognition degree specified by a simple instruction operation, and can provide an effective support environment for memorized learning. Becomes feasible.

In this embodiment, the progress management information is stored in the progress management information storage unit 105. For example, the progress management information is stored in a form in which the progress management information is collectively included in the presentation information DB 107. You may do it.

It is also possible to generate course information by performing a test for confirming the degree of recognition of the learner with respect to an English word specified as “known” in the past. In this case, for the known data accumulated in the progress management information holding unit 105, test information on known data randomly selected based on the attribute information of each known data is generated. The course processing unit 106 may be configured to analyze the answer information sent from the learner and quantitatively evaluate the learner's understanding at the present time.

(Online mode) has been described, but in addition, the learning support server 10 sends a CD-RO
Data is recorded on a recording medium such as M and distributed to the client, and the client accesses the learning support server 10 using this data (semi-offline mode). There is a variation of a mode (offline mode) performed on a recording medium such as. In addition, the communication control unit of the client is configured to the learning support server 10 so that the learner can switch between the online mode and the offline mode at any time. It is also possible to adopt an operation mode in which the relative progress information of the self is acquired, and when offline, a closed learning support environment is constructed without being conscious of the learning space.

The teaching material data has been described assuming English words to be memorized. However, the present invention is not limited to such examples. For example, vocabulary, mathematical and chemical formulas in various languages, history tables, laws, The present invention can be similarly applied to general teaching material data relating to a field in which relevance between data to be presented can be systematically expressed, such as technical knowledge.
