Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an evaluation statement writing assistance system and an evaluation statement writing assistance program that assist in writing evaluation statements for children or students. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, in school education, evaluation is based on the goals set out in the curriculum guidelines and is conducted from three perspectives: "knowledge and skills," "thinking, judgment and expression," and "active attitude toward learning."

[0003] On the other hand, it is also necessary to communicate to children or students verbally and in writing their strengths, potential, and progress, which cannot be fully conveyed in the perspective-based evaluation of their learning situation, using the overall findings on report cards, etc.

[0004] Creating this overall comment is a heavy burden for teachers, and various systems have been devised to make this easier. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a report card creation support system that displays example sentences that can fill the remaining characters in the overall comment section. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication 2019-194749 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the above-mentioned report card creation support system cannot create a report that accurately evaluates the qualities and abilities (hereinafter referred to as academic ability) that a child or student has acquired through school education.

[0007] The main object of the present invention is to facilitate the creation of an evaluation document that accurately evaluates the academic ability that a child or student has acquired through school education. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] [1] An evaluation writing assistance system that creates evaluation examples based on the grades of each assignment performed by a child or student, a storage unit that links each assignment, the grades for each assignment, the unit to which each assignment belongs, and the academic ability required to solve each assignment, and stores the linked data as grade data; an academic ability grade calculation unit that extracts the grades of the assignments linked to the predetermined required academic ability across the units from the grade data stored in the storage unit and calculates grades by academic ability by aggregating them; and an evaluation example creation unit that creates an evaluation example that evaluates the specified necessary academic ability according to the academic ability-based grades.

[0009] With this configuration, teachers can use the system to easily create accurate evaluations for the academic abilities they want students to acquire through school education, using sample evaluations created based on academic ability scores aggregated across units. Furthermore, since the example evaluations are created based on the actual results of the assignments, evaluations with high objective validity can be created.

[0010] [2] The evaluation essay creation assistance system described in [1], wherein the required academic ability is any of academic abilities related to multiple perspectives for conducting an evaluation in accordance with the goals set out in the curriculum guidelines. This allows for more detailed and specific evaluations for each aspect of evaluation. In addition, because the grades for the necessary academic abilities are aggregated across units, the number of assignments for each detailed aspect can be guaranteed, allowing for accurate evaluations to be created.

[0011] [3] The performance data indicates whether the task was correct or incorrect, the score, the number of attempts, or the time required for the attempt, The evaluation essay writing assistance system described in [1], wherein the academic ability grades are aggregate values ​​calculated based on the grades of the extracted grade data for the specified required academic ability. This makes it possible to create an evaluation statement based on objective data, such as the total scores of tests that the child or student actually took.

[0012] [4] The academic ability grade calculation unit creates the academic ability grades for each of the predetermined necessary academic abilities that differ from each other, The evaluation example creation unit creates the evaluation example based on a predetermined number of the academic ability grades that have the highest aggregated value out of the multiple academic ability grades created. This makes it easier to determine which of the multiple required academic abilities should be evaluated in the evaluation document. Also, if the predetermined number is 1, no judgment is required.

[0013] [5] In the grade data, each of the assignments is linked to a subject or course, a grade, or a school type that summarizes the unit, The evaluation essay writing assistance system described in [1], wherein the academic ability grade calculation unit calculates the academic ability grade for different subjects or courses, grade levels, or school types. This way, by setting the academic ability required to solve the tasks according to each subject, it is possible to easily create accurate evaluation examples for the academic abilities that you want students to acquire through a specific subject, for example.

[0014] [6] The evaluation essay creation assistance system according to [1], wherein the evaluation essay creation unit creates a plurality of different evaluation essay examples based on a single academic ability grade. This allows factors other than the grades on the assignment to be taken into consideration when selecting which example evaluation to use, making it possible to create a more appropriate evaluation for the child or student.

[0015] [7] The evaluation sentence creation assistance system according to [1], wherein the evaluation sentence examples created by the evaluation sentence example creation unit are editable. This allows the sample evaluation to be revised while taking into account factors other than the grades on the assignments, making it possible to create a more appropriate evaluation tailored to the child or student.

[0016] [8] The evaluation essay writing assistance system described in [1], wherein the performance data is composed of the results of multiple unit tests that collect multiple tasks belonging to the same unit. This would make it possible to create an evaluation based on objective data about the academic abilities that students want to acquire through their overall subject studies, for example based on the results of unit tests that are common in school education.

[0017] [9] A program used in an evaluation essay writing assistance system that displays evaluation essay examples based on the grades of each assignment performed by a child or student, a storage unit that links each assignment, the grades for each assignment, the unit to which each assignment belongs, and the academic ability required to solve each assignment, and stores the linked data as grade data; an academic ability grade calculation unit that extracts the grades of the assignments linked to the predetermined required academic ability across the units from the grade data stored in the storage unit and calculates grades by academic ability by aggregating them; An evaluation essay creation assistance program that causes a computer to function as an evaluation essay example creation unit that creates evaluation essay examples that evaluate the specified necessary academic abilities according to the academic ability-based grades. Such a program can achieve the same effects as the evaluation statement writing assistance system described above. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention configured in this manner, it is possible to easily create an evaluation statement that accurately evaluates the academic ability that a child or student is desired to acquire through school education. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] [Figure 1] 1 is a functional block diagram of an evaluation example creation assistance system according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining performance data according to the embodiment; [Diagram 3] 11A and 11B are diagrams for explaining the correspondence between academic achievement data and example evaluation sentences according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] An embodiment of the evaluation statement creation assistance system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] [First embodiment] 1. System Overview The evaluation essay writing assistance system supports teachers in the task of writing evaluation essays that evaluate the qualities and abilities (also known as academic ability) acquired by children or students at schools (elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, etc.). These evaluation essays are entered as overall observations, for example, in report cards or school records.

[0022] More specifically, the evaluation essay writing support system of this embodiment aggregates the scores of unit tests for each subject and course to create overall grades for each subject and course, and supports the creation of overall findings by creating evaluation essay examples accordingly.

[0023] In addition, under the current curriculum guidelines, the academic ability of children or students at school is evaluated from three perspectives: knowledge and skills, thinking, judgment and expression, and an active approach to learning. This system creates example evaluations that evaluate the learning situation of children or students from multiple perspectives in order to conduct evaluations that conform to the goals set out in the curriculum guidelines. In addition, under the current curriculum guidelines, there are three perspectives for evaluation, however, the number and content of the perspectives will change depending on amendments to education-related laws and regulations.

[0024] 2. System Configuration 2-1.Physical configuration of the system This evaluation writing assistance system is configured using a so-called computer having a CPU, memory, an input / output interface, input means such as a keyboard and a mouse, display means such as a display, and the like.

[0025] 2-2. System Functions The evaluation essay writing assistance system 100 performs the functions of a storage unit 1, an academic ability grade calculation unit 2, an evaluation essay example creation unit 3, an evaluation essay example display unit 4, etc., as shown in Figure 1, by the CPU and its peripheral devices working together in accordance with the evaluation essay writing assistance program stored in the memory.

[0026] 2-3. Storage section 1 The storage section 1 stores performance data A indicating the performance of each child or student, and sentence elements that are used as materials for creating example evaluation sentences.

[0027] 2-3-1. Grade Data A The grade data A is a compilation of unit test scores for each child or student, as shown in Fig. 2. The grade data A in this embodiment is a compilation of unit test scores for one school year for each subject or course, and Fig. 2 shows grade data A created for science.

[0028] Here, a subject or course is a summary of a larger unit, a larger unit is a summary of smaller units, and the unit test is conducted for each smaller unit. A unit test is composed of one or more questions that belong to the same smaller unit. Note that a unit test may be conducted for each larger unit.

[0029] The performance data A will be explained in more detail below. In the grade data A, each question in each unit test is linked to the correctness of the question, and is also linked to the subject or course, major unit, and minor unit to which the unit test belongs. The grades to which each question is linked may be numerical data such as scores, deviation values, and multi-level evaluation scores.

[0030] Furthermore, in the performance data A, each question in each unit test is linked to the evaluation viewpoint (knowledge, skill, thinking, judgment, expression) to which the question relates, and the academic ability required to answer the question (hereinafter referred to as the required academic ability). Each question may also be linked to the third viewpoint, that is, the attitude of proactively engaging in learning.

[0031] The academic ability required to answer this question is a more specific evaluation perspective that is set by subdividing the two perspectives of knowledge and skills and thinking, judgment, and expression mentioned above, and corresponds to the academic ability that students should acquire through their studies. This required academic ability should be set for each subject or course, grade, or school type.

[0032] For example, in a science unit test, as shown in Figure 2, the academic abilities required to answer questions are set as three abilities related to the perspective of "knowledge and skills" - "understanding natural objects and phenomena," "skills for conducting observations and experiments," and "skills for handling instruments and equipment" - and four abilities related to the perspective of "thinking, judgment, and expression" - "planning observations and experiments," "having a foresight and planning an observation experiment," "making observations from the results," and "making observations from the results."

[0033] 2-3-2. Sentence element X Sentence elements X are combined to create evaluation examples. Here, storage unit 1 stores topic sentence elements linked to multiple subjects or major units (e.g., "In science class 1, learning about weather") and predicate sentence elements linked to each of the academic abilities required to answer questions (e.g., "They were able to make predictions and hypotheses and conduct observation experiments with foresight.").

[0034] 2-4. Academic performance calculation part 2 The academic ability grade calculation unit 2 extracts the scores for questions linked to the required academic ability across sub-units from the grade data A stored in the storage unit 1, and aggregates these to calculate grades by academic ability.

[0035] The academic ability grade calculation unit 2 of this embodiment extracts the scores for the unit test questions linked to each of the required academic abilities mentioned above for each major unit, and calculates the academic ability grade (here, the correct answer rate) for each major unit based on whether the questions are correct or incorrect.

[0036] The calculated grades for each academic ability are linked to the major units and the required academic abilities, as shown in Figure 3, and compiled into academic ability grade data B.

[0037] The academic ability calculation unit may calculate academic ability grades for each subject or course. In this case, academic ability grades for multiple subjects or courses, grades, or school types may be compiled into one academic ability grade data B.

[0038] In addition, grades may be created by category for one of the academic abilities related to the perspectives of "knowledge and skills" or "thinking, judgment, expression," etc., or grades may be calculated by category for some of the academic abilities related to these perspectives.

[0039] In addition, academic ability grades may be an aggregate value such as a total or average value calculated by aggregating the scores for each question for each child or student and the evaluation values ​​from a multi-level assessment, or it may be a deviation value calculated relatively by comparing the grades with those of other children or students.

[0040] 2-5. Evaluation example creation section 3 The evaluation example creation section 3 creates evaluation examples for evaluating predetermined necessary academic abilities according to the grades classified by academic ability created by the grade calculation section 2 for calculating grades classified by academic ability.

[0041] The evaluation example creation unit 3 of this embodiment selects, from the academic ability grade data B, one academic ability grade that has the best grade (highest rate of correct answers). The evaluation example creation unit 3 reads out topic sentence elements from the storage unit 1 based on the major unit to which the selected academic achievement is linked, and also reads out predicate sentence elements from the storage unit 1 based on the required academic ability to which the selected academic achievement is linked. The evaluation example creation unit 3 then creates evaluation examples by combining these. For example, as shown in Figure 3, in the case where the student's academic performance in the main unit "1. Changes in the weather" is the best for "conducting observational experiments with foresight," an example evaluation sentence is created by combining the subject sentence element X1 "In science class 1. Weather study, the students were able to make predictions and hypotheses and conduct observational experiments with foresight." and the predicate sentence element X2 "The students were able to make predictions and hypotheses and conduct observational experiments with foresight."

[0042] 2-6. Evaluation example display section 4 The evaluation example display unit 4 displays on a display or the like the evaluation examples created by the evaluation example creation unit 3. In this embodiment, one evaluation example is displayed based on the grade data A for one subject or course.

[0043] The displayed evaluation example text can be modified by inputting text from a keyboard or the like.

[0044] 3. Effects of the First Embodiment Generally, unit tests contain few questions that relate to highly applied aspects such as "thinking, judgment, and expression," and it is difficult to properly evaluate academic ability related to such aspects in a single unit test. In contrast, according to this embodiment, accurate evaluation statements can be easily created by using evaluation example sentences based on academic ability grades related to aspects with a small number of questions, such as "thinking, judgment, and expression," which are aggregated across unit tests.

[0045] It is convenient because it allows you to create comprehensive comments for report cards, etc. based on the results of unit tests that are widespread in school education. In addition, it allows you to create evaluation statements based on objective data such as the results of unit tests.

[0046] In addition, since the evaluation can be created based on the grades for all units covered in the year, it is possible to create a reliable evaluation that reflects the actual overall grades.

[0047] The questions in unit tests are linked to more specific aspects such as knowledge and skills or thinking, judgment, expression, etc., making it possible to more specifically evaluate the academic abilities that students are desired to acquire in each subject.

[0048] Since grades for the necessary academic abilities can be compiled from unit tests for each subject or course for one year, the number of scores for questions that serve as the basis for evaluation of the necessary academic abilities can be fully guaranteed, enabling accurate evaluation statements to be created.

[0049] Only one example evaluation is created based on only the best score among the multiple created grades classified by academic ability, so that an accurate evaluation can be created without the need to select an example evaluation.

[0050] The sample evaluation sentences can be modified, so that factors other than the grades on the assignments can be taken into consideration when modifying the sample evaluation sentences, allowing a more appropriate evaluation to be created for the child or student.

[0051] [Second embodiment] The evaluation example creation section in the first embodiment selects the best grade by academic ability from the grade data by academic ability, and creates one evaluation example based on the selected grade. In contrast to this, the evaluation example creation section of the second embodiment selects a predetermined number of good (or bad) grades classified by academic ability from the grade data classified by academic ability. The evaluation example creation section of this embodiment creates a predetermined number of evaluation examples for each selected academic achievement grade. The evaluation example display unit of the second embodiment displays the created multiple evaluation examples, for example, in order of the corresponding academic achievement scores (for example, the percentage of correct answers).

[0052] This way, when selecting which sample evaluation to use, it is possible to create a more appropriate evaluation for the child or student by taking into account factors other than grades, while still referring to the priorities according to grades. [Third embodiment] The evaluation example creation unit in each of the above-described embodiments creates evaluation examples by combining sentence elements stored in the storage unit. The evaluation example creation unit of the third embodiment generates evaluation examples based on academic achievement scores using a trained AI model.

[0053] This allows for a greater variety of sample evaluations to be created.

[0054] [Other embodiments] The evaluation essay writing support system in each of the above embodiments assists in writing overall findings such as report cards, but the evaluation essay examples written by this system may be used for feedback to be shown to students in forms other than report cards. Also, they may be used by teachers to understand the learning situation of children or students.

[0055] Although the performance data in each of the above embodiments was created for each individual subject or course, one piece of performance data may include multiple subjects or courses, grades, or schools. In this case, an evaluation statement that spans multiple subjects or courses can also be created.

[0056] Furthermore, grade data may be created for each semester, or may be compiled for multiple years. This allows for a variety of evaluations to be created according to purpose.

[0057] The performance data in each of the above embodiments is a compilation of the results (numerical data) of each question in the unit test, but it may also be a compilation of the results of other tests, practical skills, reports, and other assignments. In this case, the results of various assignments can be reflected in the evaluation.

[0058] The grades in the performance data may not only indicate whether a question in a unit test is correct or incorrect, but may also be the number of times or the time spent on the question, or may be a combination of correct or incorrect answers and the number of times or the time spent on the question. This will make it easier to evaluate the academic ability of children or students who are difficult to evaluate or whose abilities do not show differences based on scores alone.

[0059] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the academic ability required to answer the questions is a specific evaluation viewpoint for each subject or course, grade, or school type obtained by subdividing the viewpoints of viewpoint-based evaluation, but this required academic ability may be an academic ability set regardless of the viewpoints. For example, it may be an academic ability that can be commonly measured through a plurality of unit tests.

[0060] Although the questions in the unit test in each of the above-described embodiments are linked to one unit, viewpoint, or required academic ability, they may be linked to multiple units.

[0061] The evaluation example creation unit may create evaluation examples based on academic achievement scores that are aggregated based on scores for a predetermined number of questions or more. This can increase the reliability of the evaluation examples that are created.

[0062] The academic ability grade calculation unit in each of the above embodiments calculates academic ability grades based on academic ability related to aspects such as "knowledge and skills" or "thinking, judgment, and expression," but it may also extract grades for questions linked to a specific aspect across sub-units from the grade data stored in the storage unit, and aggregate these to calculate grades by aspect.

[0063] The evaluation example creation unit may create evaluation examples for academic ability related to more basic content aspects such as "knowledge and skills," or may create evaluation examples for academic ability related to the perspective of evaluating students' will and attitude, such as "attitude toward actively engaging in learning."

[0064] The evaluation example creation unit in each of the above embodiments creates evaluation examples from sentence elements, etc., but the evaluation example creation unit may also be configured to select one or more evaluation examples from a plurality of evaluation examples stored in advance, depending on academic achievement.

[0065] The evaluation example display unit may display, together with the evaluation example, the grades (e.g., correct answer rate) corresponding to the evaluation example, the number of questions aggregated in the grades, etc. In this way, the evaluation example can be used with confidence by referring to actual data.
