It is configured to judge whether the answer is correct by comparing it with the answer and to proceed with the learning.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, when using a conventional electronic learning machine, I tried to compare matters that I could not fully understand while answering the question, or my own answer and the correct answer. Sometimes even if you find something that you do not fully understand, even if you try to solve a problem that you do not fully understand and choose a theme to deepen your understanding, you can easily select an appropriate theme from the memory problem. There was a problem that I could not do.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic learning machine that can solve matters that are not sufficiently understood and that can easily present appropriate themes for deepening understanding.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as follows.

The electronic learning machine of the present invention relates to a plurality of questions, correct answers to each question, requirements in the question, and / or
And first storage means for storing analogy information inserted in a correct answer to a question and question information corresponding to the question
11, a plurality of themes, a correct answer to each of the themes, a second storage means 12 storing the themes information corresponding to the themes, and an input for designating the problem information and the themes information stored in the first storage means 11. The means 13, the presenting means 14 for displaying or printing the question, the correct answer to the question, the analogy and the correct answer to the analogy, and the input means 13 from the questions and the correct answers stored in the first storage means 11 A first control means 15 for searching the question and the correct answer corresponding to the question information and presenting the searched question and the correct answer to the presenting means 14 separately;
