Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a learning system based on an interactive learning device using an IC card. (Prior Art) In recent years, learning systems using small computers (so-called personal computers, personal computers) have been announced. These learning devices are generally independent and owned by each individual, and therefore each individual's learning management is performed individually. Further, all such learning devices are generally provided as vehicle body software. (Problem to be Solved by the Invention) According to such a system, the learning management of each individual is only carried out on an individual basis; for example, the learning management of multiple learners cannot be unified by an instructor, etc. Have difficulty. Therefore, such learning systems have various drawbacks, such as not being able to objectively evaluate one's own learning results and being prone to neglect review. Furthermore, instructors were unable to give appropriate questions to learners according to their learning progress and weaknesses. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides interactive learning using an interactive learning device and an IC card 6 that is provided separately from the interactive learning device and is capable of writing and reading. The interactive learning device is composed of a data processing device connected to the device side, and the interactive learning device includes a plurality of storage means 2.4. 25, a plurality of reading means 1.3 for reading data from these storage means 2, 4.25, problem creation means for creating problems using the problem creation data based on the teaching material data and learning data; Question Creation Means Display means 11 for displaying the questions created by the user, a keyboard 12 for the learner to answer the questions displayed by the display means 11, and the IC card for storing the answer results. 6, a memory driving means 5 for operating the IC card 6, and the plurality of reading means 13.
, comprising a main control means 20 for driving the question creation means, the display means 11 and the memory drive means 5, and controlling data processing of these drive means and the keyboard 12; includes a plurality of data storage means 52, 56 that store at least the learning history data stored in the IC card 6 and the provider of this learning history data, and these data storage means 52, 56.
Data input/output means 5 for reading and writing from
3.55, a learning data storage means 54 that stores learning data, a learning data reading means 55 that reads from the learning data storage means 54, the data input/output means 53, 55, and the learning data reading means. main control means 63 for controlling 55. (Function) According to the above means, the instructor can accurately grasp the learner's learning progress and weaknesses through the IC card,
Able to provide appropriate guidance. (Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, taking a kanji learning system as an example. Note that the same reference numerals in each figure indicate similar objects. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are an external view and an electrical system diagram, respectively, showing an embodiment of an interactive learning device according to the present invention. In the drawing, 1 is a textbook data reading means, 2 is a cassette tape in which the textbook data is stored, 3 is a kanji problem creation data reading means, 4 is a cassette tape in which kanji problem creation data is stored, and 5 is an input/output for an IC card. means, 6 is an IC card, 11 is a CRT display device as display means;
12 is a keyboard, 13 is an overlay sheet, 15 is a game operation panel, 20 is a main control means, and 21, 22, and 23 are main arithmetic and control units (each forming a part of the main control means).
cpu), read-only memory (ROM), write/read memory (RAM), 24 is a static RAM (memory) for storing learning results and storing data collectively on the IC card 6, 25 is for storing kanji data. It is a removable kanji learning cartridge. These will be explained below. The textbook data reading means 1 reads the textbook data stored on the cassette tape 2 in accordance with the command signal ccl from the CPU 21 and once stores it in the RAM 23. The textbook data stores data regarding the type of textbook (company name, subject name), unit, etc. The 6 kanji question preparation data reading means 3 reads the kanji question preparation data stored on the cassette tape 4 from the CPL 121. It is read out and once stored in the RAM 23 in accordance with the signal cc2. Kanji problem creation data is a memorization of problem patterns created for all of the items that are to be studied in that grade (for example, kanji and compound words), regardless of the content of the textbook or its unit. In some cases, the range can be expanded to include those for upper grades of elementary school or those for lower grades. Here, the textbook data and the kanji question creation data stored in the RAM 23 are stored in separate memory areas, and the kanji question creation data is read out by the command signal cc3 of the CPU 21 using the textbook data as an address signal. In other words, for Japanese language subjects, although the learning order of kanji and idioms differs depending on the textbook, we focused on the fact that the kanji and idioms learned in each grade are almost the same. If questions are created, it is possible to generate corresponding questions by specifying the type of textbook or its unit, and there is no need to prepare separate software for each textbook. Fig. 3 shows this situation conceptually, and shows that the cassette tape 2 sends out data for any of the textbooks (or publishers) ANE, and the unit, desired learning content (preparation,
If you specify a drill (such as drill), you will receive 25 kanji learning cartridges.
The kanji data of the cassette tape 4 and the kanji question creation data of the cassette tape 4 are selected as appropriate, and predetermined questions are displayed. The IC card input/output means 5 inserts the IC card 6 into the slot and reads out the contents of the IC card 6.
It is possible to write to. The IC card 6 is equipped with additional data that changes the control procedure stored in the RAM 23, so that the control level can be changed according to the grade level, and the learning results (date, learning items, scores, etc.) can be stored in the RAM 24, which is the static memory described above. Such an IC card 6 is
For example, a teacher can collect the IC cards 6 taken out by each person and set them in an IC card processing device as shown in Fig. 6, so that the grades of each person can be accumulated and the overall evaluation (class or This enables a learning method in which the IC card 6 is returned to its owner, the learner, by assigning a grade point ranking, etc., creating reinforcement questions, and writing the contents of instruction for each individual. Such comprehensive processing can be carried out on a regional or national scale by writing reinforcement questions and instruction contents on the IC card 6 via each learner's interactive learning device over a telephone line. This IC card processing device will be described later as a data processing device according to the present invention. The display means 11 displays predetermined instructions or learning content (problems, etc.) based on appropriate data according to the textbook data on the cassette tape 2, the kanji problem creation data on the cassette tape 4, the sequence data on the IC card 6, and the control sequence data on the ROM 22. ) is displayed. The keyboard 12 is for the learner to respond according to the above-mentioned instructions or learning contents of the display means 11,
A game operation panel 15 is used depending on the content of the problem. When using the game operation panel 15, a message to that effect is displayed on the display means 11.
to be displayed. In addition, the keyboard 12 is a key responder using a flexible sheet (it does not have button protrusions and uses changes in capacitance due to contact between the corresponding part and the human body as an operation signal), and the keyboard 12 can be adjusted depending on the problem, for example. An overlay sheet 13 as shown in FIG. 1 or 4 is laid on top. Various methods can be considered for changing this overlay sheet 13. For example, (a) the instructions for which sheet 13 to use are stored in the kanji problem creation data on cassette tape 4,
(b) A method of specifying the sheet 13 according to the type of cassette tape 2 or 4 (in this case, a method of displaying the problem on the display means 11 and prompting the user to change the sheet j3; (b) a method of specifying the sheet 13 according to the type of cassette tape 2 or 4; 4 and sheet 13 can be sold in combination), in this case,
Changes in the functions assigned to each switch of the keyboard 12 are executed by any of the memories 2, 4, 8, 22, 23. The main control means 20 corresponds to the main part of a normal arithmetic control circuit, and has a main control program stored in the ROM 22, and the CPU 21 processes various data in accordance with the main control program. In addition, a system cartridge is used when the main body is operated, and in this case, by separating the cartridges into those for lower grades and those for upper grades, it is possible to vary the screen display and movement. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the power switch (not shown) is turned on, the system starts up [401% Initial displays such as instructions for reading the cassette tape 2.4 are displayed on the display means 11 according to the contents of the ROM 22 [411°] After this, When the contents of the cassette tapes 2 and 4 are moved to the RAM 23, the ROM 22
According to the instructions, the CPU 21 RAs the title of the learning content.
It is displayed on the display means 11 from M23. Subsequently, a display indicating that a textbook should be selected and a display indicating that a unit of the textbook should be specified is displayed, and these are selected and specified using the keyboard 12 [43], [441]. By selecting the textbook and specifying the unit, the kanji problem creation data is addressed by the textbook data, and the problems of the corresponding unit of the predetermined textbook are sequentially generated. are entered using the keyboard 12 as instructed by the overlay sheet 13, and IA filling is performed, such as displaying the correctness of the answer, displaying a hint in the case of a wrong answer, and displaying the score. Learning result processing such as writing the presence or absence of hints, scores, etc. in the static RAM RAM 24 is executed [4B], and the entire process is ended [47]. As is clear from the above, when there is a change in the contents of a textbook, such as due to a revision of the textbook, it is only necessary to replace memory 2, which stores the textbook data (if the kanji that should be learned in the relevant grade is significantly changed). (as there are no changes), software replacement can be done economically and efficiently. 6 and 7 respectively show an IC card processing device (unified data processing device) for processing the above-mentioned IC card 6.
FIG. 1 is an electrical system diagram and an external view thereof, and by combining it with the interactive learning device according to the embodiment described above, a learning system of the present invention can be constructed. In this unified data processing device 50, 6 is the above-mentioned IC card, 51 is an IC card user output means, 52 is a learning history floppy disk, and 53 is an input/output means for this learning history floppy disk 52 for learning history data. Input/output means, 54 is a floppy disk for learning data, 55 is an input/output means for learning data which is the input/output means of this floppy disk for learning data 54, 56 is a member registration for creating and registering a list of submitters of the IC card 6 67 is a cartridge for providing Japanese language processing software, 68 is an input means for the same cartridge, 57 is a data calculation processing means, 58 is a learning diagnosis chart creation means to be provided to members etc., 59 is a reinforcement problem means for creating, 6
0゜61 is a display and printer for displaying or printing out the lists and problems created by the learning diagnosis chart creation means 58 and the reinforcement problem creation means 59; 62 is a display and a printer for performing these processes through the operations of the instructor, etc. 63 is a main control means; 64 is a keyboard for controlling
, 65 and 66 are a main processing and control unit (CPU) and a read-only memory (ROM), respectively, which constitute a part of the main control means.
, read/write memory (RAM). The member registration floppy disk 56 registers a list of addresses, names, grades, grades, etc. of members who submit IC cards, and can register up to 500 members. The learning history floppy disk 52 absorbs and records the submitted learning record data of each registered member (for example, in the case of learning about kanji, the number of questions for a given kanji and the number of correct answers, etc.) from the IC card 6. As will be described later, the data is provided when creating reinforcement questions or when creating a learning diagnosis chart. The learning data floppy disk 54 stores learning data (kanji data) for creating reinforcement questions, and is used when creating reinforcement questions. This learning data floppy disk 54 and the member registration floppy disk 56 are both connected to the same input/output means 5.
5 is used. The data calculation processing means 57 performs calculations for evaluating past learning results based on the learning history data C on the learning history floppy disk 52. For example, in this embodiment, the number of questions for the same kanji and the number of correct answers are calculated. Calculate the correct answer rate from The learning diagnostic chart creation means 58 performs various evaluations on the learning results based on the calculation results of the data calculation processing means 57, and, for example, as shown in FIG.
I created a list of 70 kanji that I have learned so far, and among them, 71 kanji that had a low correct answer rate... (for example, the correct answer rate was 5.
0% or less), display the relevant kanji in bold,
The kanji is highlighted and displayed by adding an underline 71a or the like. This display result is printed out by the printer 61, so by looking at this list, each learner can check what they have learned in the past at any time, and also easily know their own weaknesses. It becomes easier to grasp the points during review. On the other hand, for instructors who handle the unified data processing device, the evaluation results printed out in this way serve as important reference materials in formulating future instructional policies for each learner, and instructors therefore This makes it possible to easily and accurately create instructional policies based on the relevant materials. Of course, the list shown in Figure 14 is just an example, and there are other ways to display it, such as dividing the correct answer rate into several stages and attaching a display for each, or directly displaying the correct answer rate for each kanji. It goes without saying that various display means can be applied, such as adding a ``mark'' or arranging the kanji characters in order of decreasing correct answer rate. In contrast to the learning diagnosis chart creation means 58, the reinforcement question creation means 59 preferentially assigns the kanji with a low correct answer rate based on the correct answer rate results obtained by the data calculation processing means 57, as shown in FIG. 80 reinforcement questions using the kanji
The result is printed out by the printer 61. In this embodiment, the reinforcing questions created in this manner are composed of kanji dictation 81 + questions 81a to 81j and compound word readings 82 and 20 questions 82a to 82t. The processing of IC cards and the procedure for creating reinforcement questions by the unified data processing apparatus according to this embodiment will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 13. Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the overall process, and the parity is as follows:
A process [1] of reading the IC card 6 and writing it to the learning history floppy disk 52, and the learning history floppy disk 52 and the member registration floppy disk 5.
6 and the process [2] of creating and printing out reinforcement questions based on the data on the learning data floppy disk 54 and the reinforcement problem creation floppy disk 59. The reading process [1] of the IC card 6 can be performed for each person submitting the IC card 6, but as shown in FIG. , determines that the number of participants has finished [1-
IY], the next process is problem creation process.

Move on to [2]. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of this problem creation process. The question creation process [2] first reads learning history data and name data for each learner from the learning history floppy disk 52 and the member registration floppy disk 56 [2-1]. At this time, if there is no member registration corresponding to the learning history floppy disk, the name will be printed blank. Then, until the process for all learning history input users is completed [2-2Y], it is determined whether each person has a parent character history (learned kanji) [2-3Y] [2-3N] [2-3] If there is no parent letter history [2-3N], it is impossible to create questions for that member and a list of the member is created [2-43゜In addition, at this time, if even one parent letter has been learned in a certain grade, If there is, it is determined that there is a parent character history. Furthermore, if parent character history exists over multiple grades, the highest grade shall be selected. On the other hand, there is a parent character history [2
-3Y] For members, write the written test [2-5
], Do the compound reading test questions [2-6] and print out the results [2-7]. Then repeat the above process, and when everyone has finished [2-
Finally, in [2Y], a list of those who are unable to create questions is printed out, and [2-8] the series of processes is completed. FIG. 11 shows a flowchart showing the processing of the written test questions. In this process, first, the list of questions that have been asked is cleared and put on standby [2-5-1], and the parent letter history is arranged in order of performance (ascending order) from the learning history data to create a parent letter list [2-5-2 ] This parent letter list has parent letters and their correct answer rates (grades), and is also used in the compound word reading test described later. Further, the list of questions that have been asked is also used when creating an idiom reading test, which will be described later. Next, take out the parent character history in the order in which it was arranged [2-5-33, select the idioms described later until the 10 questions are completed [2-5-4Y] [2-5-33]
5-5], if there is a compound word candidate and it is possible to create a compound word using the relevant parent letters, [2-5-6Y], based on the learning data on the learning data floppy disk, create a phrase like the one shown in Figure 15. Set a dictation question (randomly select one from the sentence examples of the phrase), count up the number of questions [2-5-7], and abend the phrase to the list of questions that have been asked [2-5] -8]. In addition, if there are no idiom candidates in judgment of idiom candidates [2-5-6], [
2-5-6N], stop using the parent letter in question, pick up the next parent letter and create a problem [2-5-4],
When 10 dictation questions have been created, the parent character list pointer (start and current) is passed to the next step, which is to create an idiom reading test. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the compound word reading test production F& process. In this process, first, the parent letter list used when creating the dictation test is used as a ring buffer to store the current parent letters [2-6-1]. Then select the next parent letter candidate from the parent letter list [2-6
-2], make this 20B [2-6-3- Yl
(or until the ring buffer goes around) select the idioms described below [2-6-4], and if there is a candidate idiom, [2-6-5Y], refer to the learning data and select the idiom in Figure 15. As shown, the reading questions 82a to 82t of the compound words are created [2-6-6], and the compound words are abended to the list of questions that have been asked [2-6-7]. In addition, idiom selection [2-6-4
]' If there is no compound word candidate [2-6-5N], the next candidate for the parent character is immediately selected [2-6-2]. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the idiom selection mechanism described in the writing test creation of FIG. 1 and the idiom reading test creation of FIG. 12. First, for the candidate parent letters selected at the time of creating the test, refer to the correct answer rate of the candidate parent letters from the parent letter list [3-1], and if the correct answer rate is 80% or less [3-2N]
To do this, refer to the learning data on the learning data floppy disk 52 and randomize the idioms in attribute 1 [
3-3], while if the equality rate is higher than 80% [3-2
Y], the idioms in Attribute 2 of the learning data are similarly randomized [3-4], and candidates are selected (selection of the next element in the array) [3-5]. And if there is a candidate [3-
6Y], refer to the list of questions that have been asked [3-7], and if the question has not been asked yet, select candidates in steps [2-5-6] and [2-6-5] described above for [3-7N]. [3-91] If the question has already been asked [3-8Y], the next candidate is selected [3-5]. If there is no candidate in this candidate selection [3-6N], the above candidate judgment [2-5-6], [2-6-5] is performed.
Return the result so that there are no candidates in [3-10]
. When the series of processes is thus completed, the created questions are printed out by the printer 61 as described above, and the questions as shown in FIG. 15 are handed to the learner. Further, as mentioned above, by writing the questions on the IC card 6 of each learner through the telephone line through the interactive learning device, prompt instruction on a nationwide scale is also possible. Incidentally, as a result of printing out a list of those who are unable to prepare at the same time as this problem, instructors, etc. can easily understand these people, and can also take measures against these people. Furthermore, although the creation of a kanji evaluation list as shown in Figure 14 was not mentioned in the above process, it is clear that it can be easily done based on the parent characters and the correct answer rate for each parent character in the parent character list. be. Although the kanji learning system has been described as an embodiment of this invention, it is not limited to the embodiment of this invention, and can be applied to mathematics, English, social studies, etc. For example, in mathematics, it can be applied to more detailed fields such as factorization, simultaneous equations, and graphical problems. (Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, an instructor can uniformly manage the learning of multiple learners via an IC card, and can also monitor each learner's learning progress. Appropriate guidance can be provided according to students' strengths and weaknesses.
