(2. Process flow)
Next, the learning method according to the present invention will be described together with the processing operation of the learning system shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an outline of the learning method according to the present invention. First, the learning system is activated and an initial screen is displayed on the display means 2 (step S1). Further, a learning screen as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display unit 2 by performing a predetermined operation using the instruction input unit 3. At this time, no problem is displayed on the learning screen, and only the text is displayed (step S2).
[0009]
Here, the learning screen of FIG. 3 will be described. In FIG. 3, 31 is a text display area, 32 is a problem sentence display area, 33 is a problem button, 34 is a concealment button, 35 is a progress indicator, and 36 is a message display field. In the text display area 31, the content to be learned in this section is posted and plays a role as a text or explanation of the content to be learned. In the text display area 31, a drawing, an image, and the like are displayed as necessary in addition to the text. In the example of FIG. 3, two graphs are displayed as drawings. The question sentence display area 32 is an area for displaying a problem for the user as a sentence, and displays a question sentence for testing the degree of understanding of the content learned in this theme. At this point, however, nothing is displayed to focus on the content of the text. The question button 33 is a button prepared for displaying a question sentence, and a problem is displayed in the question sentence display area 32 by clicking the cursor on the screen using a mouse or the like (corresponding to the instruction input means 3). Display a sentence. The concealment button 34 displayed as “Hide” is a button prepared for concealing important words set in advance among the words displayed in the text display area 31. The progress status indicator 35 is an indicator that indicates the progress status of the user's learning, and each chapter is composed of the number of themes indicated by ◯ so that the progress level can be understood. For example, the example of FIG. 3 shows that there are five themes in this chapter and the present is the first. The message display field 36 is a field for displaying a message from the system to the user, and the user performs an operation with reference to the displayed message. In the example of FIG. 3, since the contents to be learned are displayed in the text display area 31 and nothing is displayed in the question sentence display area 32, “Read text well” is displayed in the message display field 36. Please understand the contents. "Is displayed.
[0010]
On such a learning screen, the user learns knowledge by reading the content displayed in the text display area 31. Subsequently, the question button 33 is clicked when it is desired to check the learning level. As a result, the question sentence is displayed in the question sentence display area 32 as shown in FIG. 4 (step S3). The question sentence is displayed in a form in which the problem word in the sentence is shaded, and the question is given as a so-called filling problem. In the example of FIG. 4, the netting is performed at two places indicated by (1) and (2), and two problems are presented. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the sizes of the nets are almost the same, and the number of characters in the answer cannot be estimated by the size of the nets. At this time, a message such as “Please select a blank in the question sentence” is displayed in the message display field 36, and the user can understand that it is only necessary to click on the shaded portion. Here, when the network indicated by (1) is clicked, the arithmetic and control unit 1 recognizes the clicked position. Then, the problem recognizing means 4 recognizes that the problem (1) has been selected based on the designated position (step S4). Further, the problem recognition unit 4 refers to the correct answer storage unit 6 to recognize the correct answer to the question and notifies the correct answer presentation unit 5 of the correct answer. On the other hand, the arithmetic and control unit 1 blinks the network at the clicked position. In this case, the network corresponding to the problem (1) flashes. The flashing indicates to the user that the problem has been correctly selected and recognized by the system, and of course the answer is not visible even when the net disappears during the flashing. The moment the net disappears, the net part is simply blank.
[0011]
In this state, the user designates a word from a sentence in the text display area 31 of the learning screen. Specifically, the cursor is moved to the wording in the sentence using the mouse and clicked. Although not shown in the figure, a message such as “Please select an answer from text” is displayed in the message display field 36 at this time, so that the user can know that the answer is in the text. It has become. The correct answer presenting means 5 recognizes where the correct answer of the currently selected question (1) is in the text display area 31, and the position where the user clicked is the position of the correct answer recognized. If there is, the network hanging at the position of the network {circle around (1)} in the question sentence display area 32 is deleted, and a correct answer is displayed instead (step S5). For example, in FIG. 4, when the correct answer to question (1) is “Kuala Lumpur”, the correct answer is displayed as shown in FIG. That is, when the number of correct answers is large, it is inserted regardless of the size of the net, and the entire question sentence is shifted later. Further, in order to recognize which word in the text is the correct answer, the word that is the correct answer in the text is also inverted (black box, white character) as shown in FIG.
[0012]
Similarly, in order to answer the problem (2), the user clicks the word in the text area 31 after clicking the position of the network (2). If the correct answer presenting means 5 is the position of the correct answer recognized by the user, the correct answer presenting means 5 eliminates the net hanging at the position of the network (2) in the question sentence display area 32 and displays the correct answer instead. Let For example, when the correct answer to question (2) is “Tokyo”, the correct answer is displayed as shown in FIG. You have now correctly answered the two questions that were hidden behind the question. Once all the questions in the question are solved, you can proceed to the next theme. Here, “Tokyo”, which is the correct answer to question (2), is displayed in the question sentence, and at the same time, a move button 37 is displayed as shown in FIG. At this time, in the arithmetic and control unit 1 of the learning system, the completed status is assigned to the theme 1-1, and based on this, the process of displaying the movement button 37 on the learning screen is performed. By clicking this move button 37, the user proceeds to the next theme. When proceeding to the next theme, a learning screen displaying the text of the next theme is displayed in the same state as shown in FIG.
[0013]
In the learning system of the present invention, a concealment button is prepared for memorizing words in the text separately from the question answer. By using this concealment button, you can hide important words in the text and help memorize them by guessing the words in your head. Specifically, on the learning screen as shown in FIG. 7, the concealment button 34 displayed as “Hide” is clicked. Then, shading is performed on an important part in the text display area 31. In the example of FIG. 7, “Tokyo” and “Kuala Lumpur”, which are important words in the graph, are concealed by the net-over. Although not shown in the example of FIG. 7, it is of course possible to shade the important words in the text in the text display area 31.
