[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the conventional scoring system mentioned above, there are limitations on the answering methods, so it is not possible to judge the test taker's ability from multiple angles, and for example, there is a drawback that the thinking process that leads to the answer to the question cannot be judged at all. .

Therefore, in conventional scoring systems that place emphasis on this type of thinking process, it is necessary for the scorer to manually score each answer sheet and then aggregate and process the scoring results again, which requires a lot of manual work. This process required a lot of manual work and processing time, making it extremely inefficient.

Therefore, in the present invention, an answer sheet is used that can hold answer formats in a multi-functional manner and the points assigned to each answer can also be arbitrarily set, and it is possible to simultaneously perform the scoring of this answer sheet and the aggregation of the scoring results. The purpose of this project is to provide a scoring system using a computer processing method that can be used.

The floppy driver 46 that drives the floppy disk 44 of the floppy disk section 30 is controlled via the floppy driver control section 42. Further, the drive control of the printer 28 is performed directly from the 020 unit 34 or via the paper control unit 48. The circuit configuration of the arithmetic control section 32 configured as described above is shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 shows a scoring display section 24 composed of a large number of light emitting diodes LED used in the apparatus of this embodiment. In this case, an operation content display section 26 is provided at the top of the scoring display section 24 . This operation content display section 26 is
For example, the type of answer sheet (by subject such as Japanese, arithmetic, social studies, science, etc., and by grade such as 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade) is displayed blinking by a light emitting diode LED.

On the other hand, the scoring display section 24 has a configuration in which a large number of light emitting diodes LEDs are arranged in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and includes an answer sheet 20 on which each answer column is displayed, as shown in FIG. 7, for example. The floppy disk 44 is formatted so that when the answers are placed, predetermined light emitting diodes (35 in the illustrated example) corresponding to each answer column are lit sequentially or simultaneously. Note that the answer sheet 20 shown in FIG. 7 shows the contents of the evaluation and scoring printed out by the printer 18 for easy understanding.

Next, the operation of the scoring system of the present invention will be explained based on the apparatus of this embodiment having the above configuration.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the basic operation of the scoring system of the present invention.

First, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, a power switch (not shown) is turned on, and a predetermined floppy disk to be scored is inserted into the floppy disk section 30. At this time, the required light emitting diode LED lights up on the operation content display section 26 according to the type of answer set in advance on the floppy disk ↑, q, and the grader can see the answer sheet to be graded and this grade. You can check the compatibility with the floppy disk that will be executed. After confirming the initial state of the floppy disk in this manner, a predetermined answer sheet is placed on the scoring display section 24. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, an answer display plate 50 made of a transparent plate is provided in advance to display answers corresponding to each answer column of the answer sheet.
It would be convenient to grade answer sheets using this plate as a base.

Next, when grading the answer sheet, the following items are input by key operations on the keyboard section 22.

Note that these data input procedures are programmed in advance, and can be executed by performing key operations while checking input alphanumeric characters, numbers, and evaluation symbols.

(1) Grader's initials (e.g. 10M, TAKAGI)
) (2) Examinee number (e.g.,,, NNN4000
1) (3) Scoring data (Example 00. ○, ×, shi) Therefore, inputting the scoring data will be explained in detail.

In order to perform scoring evaluation, three evaluation keys are provided on the keyboard section 22: ``○'' (correct answer), rXJ (wrong answer), and ``shi'' (no answer), and if the answer is correct, the preset points are added. configured to Further, when grading, a method is adopted in which the answer columns 1 to n of the answer sheet 20 are written in sequentially. For example, each time an evaluation key is operated for each answer column, a light emitting diode at a corresponding position lights up. The keyboard section 22 is provided with a "forward" key and a "back" key, and by operating these keys, the operating position can be changed and data can be corrected. In addition, when the evaluation of all answer columns on the answer sheet 20 is completed, by operating any of the separately provided confirmation evaluation keys "rob, rxj, rshi", all "○" in all answer columns can be checked.

The "X" or "S" evaluators can be displayed all at once, making it easy to reconfirm the evaluation.

When the input of scoring data is completed in this manner, a scoring calculation is performed based on the evaluation contents, and the data is recorded and held on a predetermined floppy disk in the floppy disk unit 30.

Next, the score of the answer sheet can be displayed via the printer section 28 based on the data stored in the floppy disk. It should be noted that the printer unit 28 can read and print data at any time by manually inputting the examinee number. Therefore, when printing on the answer sheet 20, the print section 28 detects the sheet and detects the leading position of the sheet, and then prints the recorded data (7th
(see figure).

The floppy disk on which the scoring data is recorded is then processed by aggregating all test takers based on the flowchart shown in Figure 9, for example, to create and output a score sheet, and to save the data to a recording medium for the main computer. A transfer process is accomplished. The data held in the main computer recording medium is then processed as follows:
For example, based on the flowchart shown in Figure 10, tallying all examinees in all categories and calculating the total score, creating individual score sheets, counseling materials, comprehensive score sheets, and outputting them. I can do it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the embodiments described above, according to the present invention,
By placing the answer sheet on the scoring display section, formatting the display part that is positioned in advance to correspond to each answer column of ♀ [L for answering], and inputting the evaluation by keyboard operation while tracing the answer columns sequentially. , the scores are automatically scored through arithmetic processing, the results are stored in a storage medium, and then the results of this section 1. By printing out the scores for the answer sheets themselves together with their evaluations based on the α data, it is possible to easily create and output a score sheet based on the summation of the scores of all examinees.

As a result, according to the present invention, a large amount of work that conventionally required grading of answer sheets and inputting of grading data based on the grading results into a computer can be done by simply grading. Since it is possible to easily tally up the numbers and print marks on answer sheets, it is possible to not only improve the efficiency of conventional marking work of this type, but also easily achieve an appropriate ratio of marks and speed up the scoring.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, a case where a large number of light emitting diodes are used as a scoring display section is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be applied to a CRT display, a liquid crystal display board, a segment display board, and It is also possible to use a digitizer. In this case, a magnetic tape or the like can be used as the storage means, and a light pen can also be used as the data input means. Furthermore, as a means of inputting data, the scorer handwritten an evaluation of each answer column with "○".

Of course, it is possible to optically read in "r

In addition, the scoring system of the present invention installs a plurality of the above-described embodiment devices as terminals, performs intensive scoring according to each type, stores and holds the data, and then stores these data in a required storage medium. By inputting the results to the main computer via the , the terminal can be configured with a low-cost computer that simply holds data, and the main computer can easily create and output a comprehensive score sheet for all examinees. can. Therefore, in this case, it is preferable that the device as a terminal device does not include a printer, and if it is configured so that printing of marks and evaluations for each answer sheet is processed all at once using a dedicated printer,
It is possible to further streamline the administrative work involved in grading.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that various design changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
