Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to CAI (Computer Assisted
This invention relates to an instruction system, that is, a learning device that displays problems on a display screen and allows students to learn by inputting answers to the problems.

(b) Prior art and problems The display speed of problems in conventional learning devices is
Set by the system designer and unchanging. Therefore, depending on the learner's comprehension ability, if the display speed is too fast, the learner may not be able to fully understand the content and may feel uneasy, or if the display speed is too slow, the learner may not be able to understand the content immediately. Even if the student is able to answer the question, he or she may not be able to input the answer, which has the drawback of frustrating the learner.

(c) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to stabilize the psychological state of the learner and improve learning efficiency by changing the display speed of learning content according to the learner's understanding speed.

(d) Configuration of the Invention In learning using the CAI system, learning content is displayed on the display unit and the learner inputs a response thereto. If the learner's understanding can sufficiently follow the display speed of the learning content, the answer time will be short; if not, the answer time will be long.

The present invention takes advantage of the fact that there are differences in response time depending on the student's understanding ability, and changes the display speed of the next learning content depending on the response time as a means of providing a learning environment that is more suitable for the learner. It was designed to let you do so.

(e) Examples of the invention Examples of the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is an example of display of learning content in the CAI system.

When displaying, each line is displayed after a certain waiting time.

(This waiting time is hereinafter referred to as the display interval.) The time required for the learner to answer this learning content is
Measure according to the flowchart shown in the figure.

That is, when the learner presses the illustrated shinai operation key, the learning device displays a problem as shown in FIG. 1, for example, on the display screen.

When all the questions are displayed, the counter for measuring the answering time is reset and counting begins immediately.

Even if the answer to the question is input, if the answer is incorrect, counting continues. The counter stops counting up only when the correct answer is input.

After that, read the value of this counter.

In this example, counting starts when all questions are displayed, but if you want to allow answers to be entered even while questions are being displayed,
Do as follows.

If a correct answer is input while a question is being displayed, the display of the question is immediately stopped and the next question is displayed.

In this case, the answer time is set to "0".

This operation is repeated to measure the answering time for each question. Also, if the correct answer is entered,
Display the next problem. In this case, the display interval (INT1) is determined by using the time required to answer the question before the previous one (RT1), the time required to answer the previous question (RT2), and the display interval of the previous question (INT2). to be determined.

INT1=INT2+(RT2-RT1)÷Reference value...(1) Note that the reference value is a value determined based on the past learning results of the answerer. As is clear from equation (1),
When the difference between RT2 and RT1 is small (within the reference value),
If the display interval does not change and RT2>RT1, that is, the response time becomes longer, the display speed becomes slower depending on the degree of the difference in size, and vice versa, it becomes faster.

Figure 3 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the CAI system.

In the figure, 1 is the file in which the questions are stored, and 2 is the various inputs required when using the CAI system, such as the answer to the question displayed on the display unit 9, the display operation of the question, and the registered ID of the operator. The input section 3, such as a keyboard, determines whether the answer to the question inputted from the input section 2 is correct or incorrect.
This is a learning control unit that controls the measurement of the time required to answer a question. Reference numeral 4 indicates an answer display control unit that displays the answer input from the input unit 2 on the display unit 9. Reference numeral 5 indicates a question display control unit that displays the question on the display unit 9, and the display speed is changed according to the answer time. control. Reference numeral 6 denotes an answering time measurement section, 7 a storage section for storing answering times, and 8 a counter for measuring the answering time of the above-mentioned questions by the learner.

In the configuration described above, when the learner inputs an answer through the input section 2, the learning control section determines whether the answer is correct or incorrect, and the result is displayed on the display section 9. If the answer is correct, the answer time measurement section 6 is caused to read the value of the storage section 7 in which the count value of the counter 8 is stored, and inputted into the question display control 5. The question display control unit 5 displays the questions given by the learning control unit based on the answer times from the storage unit 7.
Display is performed based on the display interval obtained by calculating equation (1).

As described above, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the display speed can be changed depending on the time required for the learner's answer.

If the difficulty level of the displayed questions differs depending on the question, prepare a response time/rank correspondence table as shown in Figure 4 and a display interval/rank correspondence table as shown in Figure 5. , determine the rank of the previous response time, and determine the next display interval from that rank.

This allows us to deal with cases where the difficulty level changes significantly in a series of learning contents, and furthermore,
By showing the rank of each question to the learner based on the answer time, the learner can grasp the learning situation.

(f) Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, since the display speed of learning content is changed according to the speed of understanding of the learner, the learning efficiency of the learner can be improved.

Note that a selection switch may be provided in the input section so that the display speed is not changed.
