Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a device for self-monitoring of learning content, comprising several flat information carriers, each with Information presented in a flat format in the form of one or more task areas and their respective corresponding solution areas, whereby the individual Information carriers can be interconnected, e.g., in the form of a book, notebook, or pad, or they can be unconnected, e.g., in the manner of a Card set, as well as at least one opaque device for covering at least one task and / or solution field.
[0002] The written or pictorial recording of information for the purpose of conveying and learning it is widespread. This includes This includes all textbooks, but also self-made vocabulary notebooks, cards in the form of flashcards containing learning content, etc. Acquisition usually occurs through repeated memorization of the learning content. To check whether the acquired learning content is retained in the To ensure that the information is readily available in memory, with the current state of technology a second person must ask questions, which the student then answers. are to be answered.
[0003] However, if a second person is not available, conscientious supervision is not possible. In this case, the student must Cover the answer fields with one hand and try to give the correct answers from memory. However, you should do this immediately. After each answer is found, the corresponding result field is revealed so that the answer given can be remembered without doubt. to be able to critically assess one's own solution as right or wrong. However, this approach lacks... an overview of correct or known and incorrect or unknown answers, which is important for the learning process and allows for tracking learning progress. could be observed or assessed. Even if a tally sheet of correct and incorrect answers is kept, in the end, something is still missing. Information about which learning content has been retained and which has not.
[0004] The student would therefore have to practice the same learning content repeatedly until the correct solution is memorized. However, from a learning perspective, this is not It is efficient to repeat only one learning topic at a time, as previously acquired information is often forgotten when practicing other learning topics. is forgotten again.
[0005] When learning large amounts of information, such as the vocabulary of a foreign language, it must be taken into account that this They cannot usually be accommodated on a single flat information carrier, but rather require a multitude of flat information carriers. required, i.e., individual cards on the one hand, or on the other hand, pages which are compiled into a book, booklet, pad, or the like. In each In this case, the visible information carrier needs to be changed relatively frequently to learn or test all the information, e.g. by swapping the The sequence of cards or the turning of the page in a book, notebook, or pad. The change of the visible information carrier should therefore It should be possible as quickly and with as few steps as possible.
[0006] The disadvantages of the described prior art result in the problem initiating the invention, namely a possibility for critical and to create efficient self-monitoring of progress in the acquisition of learning content, even with large amounts of information with a It should be possible to implement this with as little effort as possible in order to provide a quick overview of the learning content that is not yet reliably available, and which should be repeatable as often as desired in order to observe learning progress.
[0007] This problem is solved by a box for holding several information carriers, wherein the box contains at least one has at least a partially transparent surface area, a device for opening / closing the box, and a device for the movable and / or removable fixing of the device for covering a task and / or solution area.
[0008] This box primarily serves to keep individual information cards together or to store books, booklets or pads in the desired, to maintain the opened position so that at least one top-level information carrier is visible through a transparent surface area of the The contents of the box are visible through the box. By opening the box, a student gains access to the information carriers and can rearrange them. or turn the page. Finally, he can access the information on the currently visible information carrier using the sliding device. to memorize the process of covering the visible information carrier in sections by first covering the solution area and attempting to... He answers the question; then he can reveal the answer box and compare his answer with the correct solution. This allows the adjustability of the cover device to cover a wide variety of fields.
[0009] It has proven advantageous that a large area of the box, preferably a base surface thereof, in particular a to the base area of an inserted information carrier The area parallel to the lid and / or base is at least partially transparent. This area defines the maximum visible area. The surface of the top and / or bottom information carrier allows the relevant information to be learned without opening the box.
[0010] It is within the scope of the invention that the device for sliding and / or releasably fixing the device for covering a The task and / or solution field is designed in such a way that the device is capable of covering at least one task and / or solution field. parallel to the base of an information carrier and a relative displacement relative to the information carrier parallel to its The base area is capable of movement, but only (anti-)parallel to a single spatial direction. This ability to shift the cover allows it to be positioned on the surface. Move any position to cover or show more or fewer fields as needed.
[0011] A first embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at least one device for covering at least one task and / or solution field designed as a cuff that completely or partially encloses the box or with such a cuff is integrated. Because this cuff fits tightly against the box, there is a frictional connection between these elements, which results in a self-acting mechanism. This prevents the cuff or cover from shifting relative to the box.
[0012] On the other hand, one or preferably two rails can be provided on the box, which are supported by at least one device to cover at least one task and / or solution area. In this case, the box is preferably not enclosed. not completely enclosed, but only between the two rails. Preferably, there are two rails on either side of a transparent surface area of the box, so that a cover which can be moved along the rails can cover the entire visible window.
[0013] In yet another embodiment of the invention, the box has at least one fully or partially closed Cuff arranged, which includes at least one device for covering at least one task and / or solution area wholly or partially encompasses and guides. The plane of the front face of such a cuff preferably extends transversely to the desired direction of displacement. The flat cover element, or rather its permissible direction of movement, is encompassed by the cuff on the side of the box. If the If the cover device is gripped as tightly as possible by the cuff on the side of the box, it is well aligned, with a pair Opposite side edges of the cover device are parallel to the narrow sides of the cuff or box; on the other hand This may even result in a frictional fit, which prevents unwanted shifting of the cover device relative to the box.
[0014] A cuff connected to the box should be completely or partially transparent so that it allows a view of the top / The lowest information carrier is not affected.
[0015] On the other hand, the invention recommends a cuff connected to the box that is at least partially writable, readable and to create an erasable board for temporarily recording an answer because it lies outside the covering device. In such a case, the The cuff should also extend over the entire visible surface of an information carrier or over the transparent window in the box.
[0016] Since the device for covering at least one task and / or solution field is not accessible within the cuff, They have a projection on one or both of their end faces, located at the front or rear in the direction of movement, for handling purposes, on which they can be grasped and moved. So that these approaches do not obstruct the view through the window when the cover device is adjusted. While boxes may obstruct visible information carriers, they can at least be partially transparent.
[0017] In addition to the above embodiment, in which a cuff on the box side serves as a writable board for writing down a reply is trained, can also include at least one device for covering at least one task and / or solution area itself or a device with which (Indestructibly) connected or connectable part as a board that is at least partially writable, readable and erasable for temporarily fixing a The answer must be prepared. This has the advantage that an opaque, preferably neutral, i.e., monochrome, background is always available. This facilitates reading the answer from the board. Even though the board is not identical to the cover device, but only to this one. If it is connected, it should be opaque.
[0018] The invention allows for a further development in that the board, which can be written to, read and erased at least in certain areas, is larger than the parallel base of the box. It can therefore, for example, have a rear cuff for gripping the box, over whose The base extends laterally. With a rider-shaped design, it is possible to use the guide elements for gripping the to shift the rails arranged laterally on the box inwards relative to the relevant edges or borders of the board.
[0019] The tablet, which can be written to, read and erased at least in certain areas, can be designed according to different physical principles, e.g. as a (plastic) film that can be written on with a foil pen, using erasable ink, but also as one that can be written on with a Magnetic pen, writable and magnetically erasable magnetic board.
[0020] To open the box, the lid or another part of the box shell can be removable. This allows convenient access. The interior of the box is opened to allow the order of the information carriers to be changed.
[0021] On the other hand, it is also possible that the lid or any other area of the box cover can be opened or closed or pivoted upwards. Complete removal is not necessary; rather, it is sufficient that the inside of the box is easily accessible to access the information carriers. to rearrange or turn the page.
[0022] The invention can be further developed in such a way that the lid of the box or any other removable or attachable foldable or pivotable area of the box cover that can be fixed to its body, e.g. by means of a clamping or snap mechanism, Hooks, (snap) buttons, a buckle, a magnetic closure, a Velcro fastener and / or adhesive tape, etc. This ensures the closed The box is sturdy, and the information carriers inside cannot be lost.
[0023] Finally, it is in accordance with the teaching of the invention that the lid of the box or any other removable or attachable lid The foldable or pivotable section of the box cover is held in place by a cuff on the body of the box cover. Also a A covering device that is combined or integrated with a cuff for gripping the box would be able to keep a box closed when it is necessary to fix a top lid of the same.

[0035] Fig. 11 shows the device according to Fig. 10 with closed box while solving a problem.
[0036] The device 1 for self-monitoring of learning content shown in Figs. 1 to 7 is a particularly simple design.
[0037] The learning content, divided into tasks and associated solutions, is presented on individual information carriers in the form of cards 2 of a Printed on the card set. Each card 2 contains several task areas 3a–3d, each with an adjacent [unclear text]. Assigned solution field 4a –4d. Both sides of a card 2 – both its front and its back – can be provided with task fields 3 and associated solution fields 4 in this manner. One or both printed base surfaces of a map 2 can through A straight center line 5 can be divided into two halves 6a, 6b. These halves 6a, 6b can in turn be numbered 7a, 7b into a The cards should be arranged in a learning-technical sequence, with such a sequence preferably extending across all cards of the card set. The writing in task and solution fields 3, 4 of half 6a, 6b is oriented such that the center line 5 is below the writing. is located, i.e., in each half of the map, “top” is the longitudinal edge 8a, 8b parallel to the center line, while “bottom” is the center line 5.
[0038] All cards 2 of a card stack have the same rectangular perimeter with identical height h and width b. All cards 2 of the The stack of cards is stored in a box-shaped container 9. This consists of a body 10 and a lid 11 that can be placed on top of it.
[0039] The body 10 comprises a base 12 and a circumferential shell in the form of four side walls 13. The lid has a The upper surface 14 and a skirt 15 running along its edge. The inner circumference of the skirt 15 is equal to or slightly larger than the The outer circumference of the upper edge of the casing 13, so that the lid 11 can be easily, but possibly with friction, attached to the body 10. In doing so, the The outer surface of the mantle 13 of the body 10 in the area of its upper edge has a circumferential groove 16, which with regard to its the cross-section and depth correspond to the dimensions of the apron 15 of the cover 11 and can therefore accommodate it, so that The outside of the closed box 9 follows the surface of a cuboid almost exactly.
[0040] Both parts 10, 11 of the box 9 can be made of plastic. One or both parts 10, 11 – preferably at least the Lid 11 – are made of a transparent material, e.g. transparent plastic.
[0041] After inserting the cards 2 of the card set, the box 9 is closed. Then a cuff 16 is placed over it. pushed, as shown in Fig. 4. This can, for example, be made of cardboard. Preferably, it surrounds the box 9 at its upper side 14 and on the underside 12 and along the left and right sides of the mantle 13. On its upper side, the cuff 16 has a smooth surface, e.g. in the form of an adhered plastic film or sheet 17 . At least the central area of this smooth surface serves as a writable board. 18. A felt-tip pen 19, as shown in Fig. 5, can be used to write on them. This can also be used for other purposes. The writing tip 20 has a device for erasing the writing at its opposite, i.e., rear, end, e.g., a section. with a dry, unmoistened felt pad 21 to wipe away the writing ink.
[0042] For use, care must be taken to ensure that a card 2 with halves 6a , 6b is initially placed on top of the card stack, whose Numbering 7a, 7b indicates half of numbers "1" and "2". After inserting the card stack 2 into box 9 and closing it. The same cuff 16 with the erased, clean tablet 18 is now completely pushed onto the box 9.
[0043] Then the cuff 16 is first moved so that the smaller numbering 7a – here the digit “1” – is shown first. – is visible. Then the cuff 16 is pushed further, if necessary, until the first task area 3a is completely covered by the first Half of the map 6a is legible. Now it is up to the student to solve the task and write his answer 22 with the felt-tip pen 19 on the board 18. to write it down, see Fig. 6.
[0044] Next, the student continues to slide the cuff 16 in the previous sliding direction, so that now the part attached to the task area 31 is also The adjacent solution field 4a is visible. The student can now compare his written answer 22 with the correct solution 4a, cf. Fig. 7.
[0045] Simultaneously with the first solution field 4a becoming visible, the second task field 3b became visible through the movement, and after deleting the Using tablet 18 with the rear end of the pen 21, the procedure can be repeated with the second task 3b.
[0046] Subsequently, the device 1 is rotated about a vertical axis by 180° and this procedure is repeated with the second card half 6b. repeated.
[0047] Once the first card 2 has been processed, the cuff 16 is pushed down from the box 9, the latter is opened and the top card Card number 2 is either turned over, removed, and / or placed under the rest of the card stack. The learning process then continues with the card's back side. or continued with a new map.
[0048] The embodiment of a device 23 for self-monitoring of learning content according to Figs. 8 and 9 differs from the the preceding, especially with regard to the structure supporting the writing tablet 18 and guiding it to the box 9, which in the embodiment 23 does not completely surround box 9.
[0049] Instead, at least on two opposing outer sides of the box 9, preferably on the skirt 15 of the Box end Rails 24 serve to anchor and guide a rider 25, which has an approximately C-shaped cross-section with a central part 26 and two side legs 27, whose free ends or edges 28 are bent inwards, i.e. towards each other. These free edges 28 encompass Each guide rail 24 of the box 9 holds the rider 25 securely on the lid 11. The middle part 26 of the rider 25 is designed as The board is opaque and writable / erasable. A felt-tip pen 19 with a front writing tip 20 and, if necessary, a... can also be used for this purpose. a rear extinguishing device 21 is used, similar to the one shown in Fig. 5.
[0050] The mode of operation is approximately the same as that of the device 1 according to Figs. 1 to 7, with the difference that to change the Card 2 does not have to be removed from the lid 11 by the rider 25, but is lifted off together with it from the body of the box 9.
[0051] In further embodiment 29 according to Figs. 10 and 11, it is shown that instead of a card set 2 as The information carrier can also be the pages 30 of a book 31. This is inserted into the container 32 in an open state.
[0052] However, in this embodiment, the card container 32 is also constructed differently than in the previous embodiments 1, 23. The lid 33 is not completely separated from the body 34 of the box 32, but remains connected via a hinge 35 – e.g. a film hinge – always connected to the body 34. The container 32 is therefore only opened and closed – similar to a chest or (Cigar) box.
[0053] Since the (film) hinge 35 is located approximately at the level of the rear edge of the top surface 36 of the cover 33, the latter is only attached at the the remaining three sides are surrounded by an apron 37. This apron 37 is, however, at least partially – preferably along the the front side 38 opposite the hinge 35 – pulled down to the bottom 39 of the body 34 and then inwards or bent at the back. This inwardly or rearwardly pointing edge area 40 encompasses the bottom 39 of the closed container 32 and This forms a container closure. Due to the flexibility of the plastic material, the edge area 40 can be used to open the container 32. – e.g., to turn the page of book 31 or to remove a card 2 – be bent forward until it is in front of the floor 39 can swivel upwards.
[0054] In this embodiment 29, the top surface of the transparent cover 33 is smooth and serves directly as a writing and erasable board, e.g. for a felt-tip pen 19 with writing tip 20 and erasing device 21 .
[0055] To temporarily cover the solution fields 4 of the information carrier 2, 30, 31, the base surface of the cover 33 is In embodiment 29, the layer is two-layered, with an upper layer 36 and a second layer 41 directly below it. The two layers 36 , 41 are connected to each other only by the left and right sides of the apron 37, but not in the area of the front 38 and also not in the area of the hinge 35. Therefore, between the two layers 36, 41, a gap remains completely covering the lid 33 from front to back. A penetrating slot with a flat, almost linear cross-section. A plate 42 is inserted into this slot. This plate 42 has approximately the same width as the continuous slot in the lid 33, but is longer than the depth extension of the lid 33 from its front edge 38 up to its hinge 35. This means that the plate 42 always extends beyond the lid 33 at least at the front or rear and can be attached to the / The protruding area(s) can be grasped in order to be moved forwards or backwards as desired. Plate 42 has a The central, opaque area 43 is open, but is transparent in front of and behind, or above and below, this area 43. This can be, for example, This can be achieved by applying an opaque film to an otherwise transparent substrate.
[0056] By moving the plate 42, the opaque area 43 can therefore always be adjusted so that it reflects the current The solution field 4 belonging to task area 3 covers it while simultaneously providing a neutral background for writing down the answer 44.
[0057] The invention can undergo various modifications; for example, the closure principle of the box 9 according to Figs. 1 to 10 can be modified. Fig. 9 is replaced by the folding principle of the chest- or box-shaped container 32 from Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, while in the In embodiment 29 according to Figs. 10 and 11, there is also a completely separate cover 33 – as in devices 1 and 23 – usable.
