Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for generating guidance related to learning guidance for a user based on the user's understanding level, and more particularly to a learning support device, a learning support method, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the past, users were made to operate information processing terminals (hereinafter referred to as terminals) to learn or take tests. For example, as one of the tests that evaluates the user's knowledge or learning ability (comprehension) based on the scoring results of the test taken by the user operating the terminal, there is a test called Computer Based Testing (CBT). In CBT, test questions are displayed on the screen of the display of the terminal operated by the user as the subject. The user answers the test questions displayed on the screen of the display at the terminal (enters the answer in the answer column of the question). The user's understanding is estimated based on the scoring results of the user's answer. The terminal used in CBT is a commonly used personal computer or tablet terminal.

[0003] Furthermore, it is proposed to estimate the user's understanding level by using not only the scoring results of the answers but also the answering time and answering order of the questions (see Patent Document 1). Furthermore, the device of Patent Document 1 counts the number of failures in answering according to the change of the input speed of the answer (the number of strokes per unit time), and uses the counted number of failures to estimate the user's understanding level.

[0005] [Patent Document]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-152782 Summary of the invention

[0007] [Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, with the existing technology, it is not possible to provide learning guidance to the user based on the user's behavior during the test. The user's behavior during the test mentioned here is, for example:

[0009] (1) Whether the test begins with an attempt to understand the content of all the questions asked;

[0010] (2) Whether there is any action to reconsider the solution;

[0011] (3) Whether any action is taken to correct the solution when the solution is reconsidered.

[0012] The personality of the user is reflected in the behavior of the user during the test. Therefore, the learning guidance that refers to the behavior of the user during the test is adapted to the personality of the user.

[0013] An object of the present invention is to provide a technology that can provide learning guidance that is suitable for the user's personality and the like, thereby improving the user's learning efficiency.

[0014] [Technical means to solve the problem]

[0015] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the learning support device of the present invention is configured as follows.

[0016] The learning support device can be applied to a system in which a user operates a terminal to take a test having a plurality of questions.

[0017] When the user takes the test, the transition acquisition unit acquires the transition of the user's answer status to the test questions based on the operation history information representing the history of input operations performed on the terminal. For example, the operation history information includes a question selection operation to switch the focus of the test question, and a character input operation to input a character string in the answer field of the focus question. As the transition of the user's answer status to the test questions, the transition acquisition unit acquires, for example, whether the user has reconsidered the answer to each test question, whether the answer has been revised during reconsideration, and whether a confirmation process for mastering the contents of all test questions has been performed before starting to answer the test questions. That is, the transition of the user's answer status to the test questions acquired by the transition acquisition unit is the user's behavior during the test.

[0018] Then, the comprehension level estimation unit estimates the user's comprehension level using the scoring results of the user's answers to the questions in each test.

[0019] Furthermore, the guidance generating unit generates guidance related to the learning instruction of the user based on the transition of the answer status of the user acquired by the transition acquiring unit and the comprehension level of each question of the test estimated by the comprehension level estimating unit.

[0020] According to the above structure, the behavior of the user during the test is obtained from the changes in the user's answer status to the test questions. In addition, the user's personality and the like are reflected in the user's behavior during the test. That is, the learning guidance that refers to the user's behavior during the test is adapted to the user's personality and the like. Therefore, the learning guidance adapted to the user's personality and the like can be provided, and the user's learning efficiency can be improved.

[0021] Furthermore, for example, for a problem in which the user reconsiders the answer and corrects the answer during the reconsidering, the guidance generating unit can also generate guidance related to the user's learning guidance using the scoring result obtained by scoring the answer before correction. When configured in the above manner, it is possible to determine the types of errors that the user is likely to make when answering the problem (calculation errors, misunderstanding of the question text, writing errors of the answer, etc.). Thus, it is also possible to provide the user with learning guidance on the errors that are likely to be made when answering the problem.

[0022] Furthermore, the understanding estimation unit can estimate the user's understanding of the test questions using the order in which the user answers the test questions and the time it takes to answer the test questions. If configured in this manner, it is possible to determine the degree of understanding of questions in areas in which the user has a fear. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide learning guidance to the user on questions in areas in which the user has a fear.

[0023] [Effects of the Invention]

[0024] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide learning guidance suitable for the user's personality and the like, thereby improving the user's learning efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0050] <1. Application examples>

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing a network system that is tested using the CBT (Computer Based Testing) method. Figure 1 As shown, the network system of the example is a structure in which a plurality of user terminals 2 are connected to a server device 1 via a network 5 so as to be capable of data communication. The example is an example in which the learning support device of the present invention is applied to the server device 1.

[0052] Furthermore, as described in the following modified examples, the learning support device of the present invention may be applied to the user terminal 2 instead of the server device 1 .

[0053] In the example, the server device 1 distributes a test having a plurality of questions to the user terminal 2. For example, the test has five questions, question 1 is a question related to polynomials, question 2 is a question related to simultaneous equations, question 3 is a question related to geometry, question 4 is a question related to trigonometric functions, and question 5 is a question related to probability.

[0054] The user terminal 2 displays the test questions sent from the server device 1 on a display screen. Figure 2 ,and Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a user terminal displaying test questions. The screen of the display of the user terminal 2 displays the question currently selected. When question 1 is selected at the user terminal 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, question 1 is displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2. And, when question 2 is selected on the user terminal 2, as shown Figure 3 As shown, question 2 is displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2. Although not particularly shown, when question 3 is selected on the user terminal 2, question 3 is displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2, when question 4 is selected on the user terminal 2, question 4 is displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2, and when question 5 is selected on the user terminal 2, question 5 is displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2.

[0055] The user terminal 2 selects the screen displayed on the display according to the selection button ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 The user can switch the question (the selected question) displayed on the screen of the display by operating the five buttons (question 1 to question 5) shown in the figure. In other words, the user can display the desired question (question 1 to question 5) on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2 by operating the selection button. In the above example, the question displayed on the screen of the display of the user terminal 2 is equivalent to the focus question mentioned in the present invention.

[0056] The user terminal 2 makes the display form of the selection button of the question currently selected different from the display form of the selection buttons of other questions (questions not currently selected) ( Figure 2 , Figure 3 This is an example of displaying the selection button in reverse.)

[0057] In addition, the selection operation of the test questions and the display form in the user terminal 2 are merely examples.

[0058] The user terminal 2 generates a history of the user's input operations during the test time (from the start to the end of the test) as operation history information. The operation history information accumulates the input operation information during the test time. The input operation information includes an operation code indicating the content of the input operation performed by the user, and time information (time stamp) indicating the time when the input operation was performed. The user's input operation is, for example, an operation of a selection button for selecting a question, an operation of inputting characters into the answer column (operation of character keys), and an operation of deleting characters input into the answer column (operation of the delete key).

[0059] After the test is completed, the user terminal 2 transmits the answer to each question (the character string input into the answer column of each question at the end of the test) and the operation history information generated during the test to the server device 1 .

[0060] The server device 1 scores the user's answer to each test question and obtains the change of the user's answer status to the test question based on the operation history information.

[0061] The server device 1 obtains, for example, the following content as the change of the user's answer status:

[0062] (1) The order in which the test questions are answered,

[0063] (2) Time required to answer each question,

[0064] (3) Whether the student has taken steps to understand the content of all questions asked at the beginning of the test.

[0065] (4) Whether the answers to each question were reconsidered (whether or not)

[0066] (5) Whether the answers to each question were revised during the reconsideration (whether there was a revision)

[0067] wait.

[0068] The above (1) can be used to estimate the areas of the question that the user feels he is not good at. For example, the server device 1 obtains the order of the time when the nth character (n is a positive integer and has a predetermined value (n is, for example, 1 to 5)) is input in the corresponding answer column from the earliest to the latest as the answer order of the question.

[0069] (2) can be used to estimate the user's understanding of the question. For example, the server device 1 acquires the total time of selecting the question (the time when the focus is on the question) as the answer time of the question.

[0070] The above (3) to (5) can be used to judge the behavior of the user during the test. For the above (3), for example, when the server device 1 selects all questions by selecting a button before entering a character string in the answer column of all questions, it is judged that the user has taken actions to master the contents of all test questions before starting to answer the questions. For the above (4), for example, when the server device 1 selects a question, if the number of characters in the character string entered in the answer column of the question exceeds a specified number, the server device 1 judges that the question selected this time is a question whose answer has been reconsidered. And, for the above (5), for example, when the server device 1 selects a question, if the number of characters in the character string entered in the answer column of the question exceeds a specified number and an input operation of deleting a part of the characters of the completed input character string is performed, it is judged that the answer is a question that has been revised when reconsidering the answer.

[0071] The server device 1 is not limited to the items (1) to (5) and may also acquire other items as changes in the user's answer status. The server device 1 may also be configured to acquire some items other than the items (1) to (5) as changes in the user's answer status.

[0072] For each question, the server device 1 scores the answer and uses the scoring result of the question to estimate the user's understanding. The answer scoring can be performed by, for example, deducting points or adding points, or by other methods, or by a scoring method that flexibly uses artificial intelligence (AI).

[0073] Furthermore, the server device 1 generates guidance related to the user's learning guidance based on the changes in the user's answer status and the understanding of each question. The server device 1 obtains the user's behavior during the test from the changes in the user's answer status. The user's personality, etc. will be reflected in the user's behavior during the test. That is, the learning guidance that refers to the user's behavior during the test is adapted to the user's personality, etc. Therefore, a learning guidance adapted to the user's personality, etc. can be provided, which can improve the user's learning efficiency.

[0074] In addition, the server device 1 may send the generated guidance of the learning guidance for the user to the user terminal 2, or may be a structure for printing output. The server device 1 may be any structure as long as it is a structure for outputting the generated guidance of the learning guidance for the user in a form that can be used for the learning guidance of the user. For example, the generated guidance of the learning guidance for the user may be output to the instructor (teacher, etc.) who provides learning guidance to the user instead of the user himself.

[0075] <2. Construction example>

[0076] Figure 4 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main parts of the server device of the above example. The server device 1 includes a control unit 11 , a question database 12 (question DB 12 ), and a communication unit 13 .

[0077] The control unit 11 controls each part of the server device 1. The control unit 11 includes a scoring unit 11a, a comprehension estimation unit 11b, a transition acquisition unit 11c, and a guidance generation unit 11d. The scoring unit 11a, the comprehension estimation unit 11b, the transition acquisition unit 11c, and the guidance generation unit 11d included in the control unit 11 are described below.

[0078] The question DB 12 is a database in which test questions distributed to the user terminal 2 operated by the user are registered. In the above example, for each test question, the correct answer (standard answer) and the standard answer time are registered in the question DB 12 in correspondence with the question.

[0079] The communication unit 13 performs data communication with the user terminal 2 operated by the user via the network 5. The server device 1 distributes a test having a plurality of questions to the user terminal 2. Moreover, the server device 1 receives the answer to each question of the test from the user terminal 2. Moreover, the server device 1 receives from the user terminal 2 operation history information indicating the history of input operations performed by the user terminal 2 when the user takes the test. The operation history information accumulates input operation information during the test time. The input operation information includes an operation code indicating the content of the input operation performed by the user, and time information (timestamp) indicating the time when the input operation is performed.

[0080] Next, the scoring unit 11 a , the comprehension level estimating unit 11 b , the transition acquiring unit 11 c , and the guidance generating unit 11 d included in the control unit 11 will be described.

[0081] For each test question, the scoring unit 11a scores the user's answer. The scoring unit 11a can score by deducting points or adding points, or by other methods.

[0082] For each question, the comprehension estimation unit 11b estimates the user's comprehension based on the scoring result of the question. Also, the comprehension estimation unit 11b may be configured to estimate the user's comprehension for each question using the scoring result of the question, the user's answer time, and the standard answer time.

[0083] The transition acquisition unit 11c acquires the transition of the answer status of the user in the test based on the operation history information received from the user terminal 2. The transition acquisition unit 11c acquires, for example, the following as the transition of the answer status of the user:

[0084] (1) The order in which the test questions are answered,

[0085] (2) Time required to answer each question,

[0086] (3) Whether the student has taken steps to understand the content of all questions asked at the beginning of the test.

[0087] (4) Whether the answers to each question were reconsidered (whether or not)

[0088] (5) Whether the answers to each question were revised during the reconsideration (whether there was a revision)

[0089] wait.

[0090] The guidance generating unit 11 d generates guidance related to learning guidance for the user based on changes in the user's answer status and the degree of understanding of each question.

[0091] The control unit 11 of the server device 1 includes a hardware central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and other circuits. When the hardware CPU executes the evaluation program of the present invention, it operates as a scoring unit 11a, a comprehension estimation unit 11b, a transition acquisition unit 11c, and a guidance generation unit 11d. In addition, the memory includes an area for launching the evaluation program of the present invention, or an area for temporarily storing data generated when executing the evaluation program. The control unit 11 can be a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) that integrates a hardware CPU, a memory, etc. In addition, the hardware CPU is a computer that executes the evaluation method of the present invention.

[0092] Figure 5 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main parts of the user terminal of the above example. The user terminal 2 includes a control unit 21 , a display 22 , an operation unit 23 , and a communication unit 24 .

[0093] The control unit 21 controls the operation of each part of the user terminal 2. The control unit 21 includes an answer acquisition unit 21a and an operation history information generation unit 21b. The answer acquisition unit 21a and the operation history information generation unit 21b included in the control unit 21 are described below.

[0094] The display 22 displays test questions distributed from the server device 1 , displays answers to questions input by the user, and the like.

[0095] The operation unit 23 detects the input operation of the user. The operation unit 23 may be a structure that accepts character input through a hardware keyboard or a structure that accepts character input through a software keyboard. In addition, the operation unit 23 includes a pointing device such as a mouse, and accepts an operation of selecting a question displayed on the display 22 (an operation of pressing a selection button).

[0096] The communication unit 24 performs data communication with the server device 1 via the network 5 .

[0097] Next, the answer acquisition unit 21 a and the operation history information generation unit 21 b included in the control unit 21 will be described.

[0098] The answer acquisition unit 21 a acquires the character string input into the answer column of the question at the end of the test as the user's answer to the question.

[0099] The operation history information generating unit 21b generates operation history information that accumulates operation information of input operations performed by the user in the operation unit 23. The operation information includes an operation code that specifies the input operation of the user and the operation time when the user performs the input operation. The input operation performed by the user includes an operation of inputting characters into the answer column of the question, an operation of deleting characters input into the answer column, an operation of selecting a question displayed on the display 22, and the like.

[0100] The control unit 21 of the user terminal 2 includes a hardware CPU, a memory, and other circuits. The hardware CPU operates as an answer acquisition unit 21a and an operation history information generation unit 21b. The control unit 21 may be an LSI in which the hardware CPU, the memory, and the like are integrated.

[0101] <3. Action example>

[0102] Figure 6 This is a flowchart showing the operation of the user terminal in the above example. Figure 7 This is a flowchart showing the operation of the server device in the above example.

[0103] In the example, the server device 1 distributes the test questions to the user terminal 2 before the test starts.

[0104] When the test start time comes, the user terminal 2 displays an initial screen (s21, s22) on the screen of the display 22. The initial screen may be, for example, a screen displaying question 1 or a screen displaying only selection buttons for selecting a question.

[0105] If the user's operation in the operation unit 23 is a character key or a delete key, the user terminal 2 edits the character string in the answer column according to the operated character key (s23, s24). Furthermore, if the user's operation in the operation unit 23 is an operation of selecting a question (an operation of pressing a selection button), the user terminal 2 displays the currently selected question on the screen of the display 22 (s25, s26).

[0106] After performing the processing of s24 or s26, the user terminal 2 adds the operation code indicating the content of the user's input operation and the operation information at the time of performing the input operation to the operation history information (s27). The user terminal 2 stores the operation history information in the memory included in the control unit 21. In addition, for each test question, the user terminal 2 stores the character string input into the answer column of the question in the memory included in the control unit 21.

[0107] The user terminal 2 repeats the process of s23 to s27 until the end time of the test is reached. After reaching the end time of the test (s28), the user terminal 2 sends the answers to each question and the operation history information stored in the memory to the server device 1 (s29), and ends the process.

[0108] Next, refer to Figure 7 , the operation of the server device 1 is described. The server device 1 waits to receive the answer to the test question and the operation history information during the test from the user terminal 2 (s1). The transition acquisition unit 11c acquires the transition of the answer status of the user during the test based on the operation history information during the test received from the user terminal 2 (s2).

[0109] In s2, for example, get the following

[0110] (1) The order in which the test questions are answered,

[0111] (2) Time required to answer each question,

[0112] (3) Whether the student has taken steps to understand the content of all questions asked at the beginning of the test.

[0113] (4) Whether the answers to each question were reconsidered (whether or not)

[0114] (5) Whether the answers to each question were revised during the reconsideration (whether there was a revision)

[0115] etc. as changes in the answer status of the users in the test.

[0116] For each test question, the scoring unit 11a scores the user's answer (s3). For each test question, the comprehension estimation unit 11b estimates the user's comprehension using the scoring result of the scoring unit 11a, the user's answer time and the standard answer time for the question (s4).

[0117] Furthermore, for each test question, the comprehension level estimation unit 11 b may estimate the user's comprehension level without using the time taken by the user to answer the question (using only the scoring result of the scoring unit 11 a ).

[0118] The guidance generating unit 11 d generates guidance of learning instruction for the user based on the transition of the answer status of the user acquired in s2 and the understanding degree of each question estimated in s4 ( s5 ).

[0119] In s5, for example, based on the change in the user's answer status obtained in s2, the field of the problem that the user feels weak in is estimated. The field of the problem that the user feels weak in can be determined based on the order of answering the test questions and the difference between the user's answering time and the standard answering time. If the order of answering the test questions is late, and the time (difference time) obtained by subtracting the standard answering time from the user's answering time is long to a certain extent (for example, if it is longer than the predetermined weak judgment time), it can be estimated that the problem is in the field that the user feels weak in.

[0120] Then, in s5, the above-mentioned (3) to (5) are obtained as the user's behavior during the test.

[0121] The guidance generating unit 11d generates guidance for the user's learning guidance based on the user's behavior during the test, the user's understanding of each question, the field of questions that the user feels weak in, etc. The user's personality, etc. will be reflected in the user's behavior during the test. That is, the learning guidance that refers to the user's behavior during the test is adapted to the user's personality, etc. Therefore, in the example, the learning guidance adapted to the user's personality, etc. can be provided, and the user's learning efficiency can be improved.

[0122] In addition, the processes of s2 to s5 can be performed by batch processing.

[0123] <4. Modifications>

[0124] Modification 1

[0125] The server device 1 may be configured to compare the answer before and after the correction of a question to determine what kind of correction the user has made. The answer before the correction may be obtained from the operation history information.

[0126] For example, when the server device 1 determines that the correction of the answer made by the user is caused by a calculation error, misremembering, etc., it can generate guidance that reminds the user to stay calm when answering the question. In addition, when the server device 1 estimates that the understanding degree of the corrected answer is higher than that of the answer before the correction, it can also generate guidance that reminds the user to stay calm when answering the question. In addition, when the server device 1 estimates that the understanding degree of the corrected answer is lower than that of the answer before the correction, it can generate guidance that reminds the user to be confident in his or her answer.

[0127] Furthermore, the server device 1 can generate guidance that reminds users to start answering questions in areas of expertise (for example, guidance that reminds users to first grasp the contents of all questions asked at the beginning of the test) for users who do not first grasp the contents of all questions asked at the beginning of the test and who have questions that they did not select during the test.

[0128] Furthermore, the server device 1 can generate guidance to urge users who have not reconsidered their answers to each question and have calculation errors or misremembering in their answers to reconsider the contents of their answers during the test.

[0129] As described above, the server device 1 generates guidance for the user's learning instruction using the user's behavior during the test.

[0130] Modification 2

[0131] The scoring unit 11 a , the comprehension level estimating unit 11 b , the transition acquiring unit 11 c , and the guidance generating unit 11 d described in the above example may be provided in the control unit 21 of the user terminal 2 , and the processes s2 to s5 may be executed in the user terminal 2 .

[0132] In addition, the present invention is not directly limited to the embodiments, and the structural elements can be deformed and concretized in the implementation stage without departing from the scope of the main purpose. Moreover, various inventions can be formed by appropriate combinations of multiple structural elements disclosed in the embodiments. For example, some structural elements can be deleted from all the structural elements shown in the embodiments. Furthermore, the structural elements of different embodiments can be appropriately combined. Moreover, the order of each step in the flowchart shown in the description of all the examples is ultimately an example and can be appropriately changed within the possible range.

[0133] Furthermore, the correspondence between the structure of the present invention and the structure of the above-described embodiment can be described as in the following notes.
