Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an education support system, and more particularly to a technique for presenting combined information of student grades and survey results. [Background technology]

[0002] In schools, teachers often decide on educational strategies based on the grades (i.e., academic ability) of each student or class. However, it is not always appropriate to decide on educational strategies based solely on grades. When considering educational strategies, it is advisable for teachers to consider factors other than current grades.

[0003] Regarding educational support technology that analyzes things other than grades, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-118175 (Patent Document 1) discloses an information processing device that "includes a memory unit that stores identification information of multiple students in association with multiple learning indicators for the students. The information processing device also accepts selection input of target learning indicators as the horizontal and vertical axes of a graph. The information processing device then creates and outputs a scatter plot as a graph in which student icons are plotted at corresponding positions with the learning indicators selected in accordance with the selection input as the horizontal and vertical axes" (see [Abstract]). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-118175 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 is based on the premise that test results and survey results associated with the test are acquired and the correlation between them is plotted. Therefore, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not take into consideration the use of survey results that are not associated with the test. Furthermore, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not anticipate analyzing the correlation between survey results and units such as grades or courses over a longer period, rather than on a test-by-test basis.

[0006] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-described background, and in one aspect, the purpose is to provide a technology that presents combined information of a student's grades and survey results that are not associated with tests, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to one embodiment, an education support system is provided. The education support system includes an acquisition unit that acquires multiple pieces of grade information and multiple pieces of survey result information for each of multiple students. The multiple pieces of grade information are indicators showing grades for each subject based on the results of one or more tests. The multiple pieces of survey result information are indicators showing responses to surveys related to subjects, attitudes, or lifestyles. The education support system further includes a selection unit that selects one or more pieces of grade information from the multiple pieces of grade information and selects one or more pieces of survey result information from the multiple pieces of survey result information, and a display unit that displays combined information of the selected one or more pieces of grade information and the one or more pieces of survey result information.

[0008] In one aspect, the grade information is classified into units of subjects, areas, and units. Selecting one or more pieces of grade information from the plurality of pieces of grade information includes selecting one or more pieces of grade information in units of any of subjects, areas, and units.

[0009] In one aspect, the score information indicates a score rank or a percentage of correct answers for each unit in one or more tests administered during a period designated by the acquisition unit.

[0010] In one aspect, the questionnaire includes one or more questions about subjects, life at home, and life at school.

[0011] In one aspect, displaying the combination information includes, based on the selection of one piece of grade information and one piece of survey result information, setting the value of the selected piece of grade information to a value in the direction of a first axis, setting the value of the selected piece of survey result information to a value in the direction of a second axis, and plotting the combination information for each student in a two-dimensional space consisting of the first axis and the second axis.

[0012] In one aspect, displaying the combination information includes setting the value of each of the selected one or more pieces of grade information to a value in the direction of a first axis, setting the value of each of the selected one or more pieces of survey result information to a value in the direction of a second axis, and plotting the combination information for each student in a two-dimensional space consisting of the first axis and the second axis for each combination of each of the one or more pieces of grade information and each of the one or more pieces of survey result information.

[0013] In one aspect, selecting one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information includes selecting a set of a first survey result and a second survey result, and selecting one or more pieces of grade information to associate with the set. Displaying the combined information includes setting the value of the first survey result as a value in the direction of a first axis, setting the value of the second survey result as a value in the direction of a second axis, and plotting one or more pieces of grade information for each group of students with the same grade in a two-dimensional space formed by the first axis and the second axis.

[0014] According to another embodiment, there is provided a method executed by an education support system. The method includes acquiring a plurality of pieces of grade information and a plurality of pieces of survey result information for each of a plurality of students. The plurality of pieces of grade information are indicators indicating grades for each subject based on the results of one or more tests. The plurality of pieces of survey result information are indicators indicating responses to surveys related to subjects, attitudes, or lifestyles. The method further includes selecting one or more pieces of grade information from the plurality of pieces of grade information, selecting one or more pieces of survey result information from the plurality of pieces of survey result information, and displaying combined information of the selected one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information.

[0015] According to yet another embodiment, there is provided a program executed by an education support system. The program causes the education support system to acquire multiple pieces of grade information and multiple pieces of survey result information for each of multiple students. The multiple pieces of grade information are indicators indicating grades for each subject based on the results of one or more tests. The multiple pieces of survey result information are indicators indicating responses to surveys regarding subjects, attitudes, or lifestyles. The program further causes the education support system to select one or more pieces of grade information from the multiple pieces of grade information, select one or more pieces of survey result information from the multiple pieces of survey result information, and display combined information of the selected one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] According to one embodiment, it may be possible to present combined information of a student's grades and survey results that are not associated with tests or the like.

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the technical idea according to the present disclosure will be described while referring to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated. Also, each embodiment, each modification example, each software configuration, each hardware configuration, each function, and each process, etc. may be selectively combined as appropriate.

[0020] <A. Overall Image and Screen Example of Educational Support System> The educational support system 100 according to the present embodiment can present combined information of a student's grades and questionnaire results not associated with tests or the like. A questionnaire not associated with tests or the like is a questionnaire conducted independently of tests or the like. Also, a questionnaire not associated with tests or the like may be a questionnaire conducted independently of a test and then associated with the test. In a certain aspect, the educational support system 100 may present combined information of the amount of change in grades over an arbitrary period and questionnaire results not associated with tests or the like. By using the educational support system 100, a teacher can provide guidance to each student based not only on grades but also on questionnaire results. Also, by referring to the combination of grades and questionnaire results for each student, it becomes easier for the teacher to grasp the problems of individual students. Hereinafter, the configuration of the educational support system 100 and an example of the information presented by the educational support system 100 will be described.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the outline of the educational support system 100 according to the present embodiment. The educational support system 100 is configured to be communicable with one or more terminals 110. Referring to FIG. 1, the basic operation of the educational support system 100 will be described. At the same time, the main terms used in this specification will also be described.

[0022] The education support system 100 may present combination information 120 of the grades of each of one or more students and questionnaire results not associated with tests or the like. In one aspect, the grades of each of one or more students here may be the percentage of correct answers or scores in a test. In another aspect, the grades of each of one or more students here may be the average percentage of correct answers or scores in multiple tests. In yet another aspect, the grades may be grades assigned to each student by a teacher based on test results or the like. Furthermore, the grades of each of one or more students here may be grades by subject, by subject area, or by subject unit. Details of the combination information 120 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

[0023] In one aspect, the education support system 100 may be a server device configured by one or more devices. Alternatively, the education support system 100 may be a program executed by the server device. In another aspect, the education support system 100 may be a virtual machine, a server, a service, or the like built in a cloud environment. Alternatively, the education support system 100 may be a program executed by a virtual machine, a server, or the like built in a cloud environment.

[0024] In one aspect, the education support system 100 may transmit the combination information 120 to the terminal 110 that sent the request based on a request from the terminal 110. In this case, the education support system 100 may operate as a web application or a server-client system.

[0025] The terminal 110 is configured to be able to communicate with the education support system 100. The terminal 110 is, for example, a personal computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other information processing device used by a teacher. A user such as a teacher can use the functions of the education support system 100 via the terminal 110.

[0026] The terminal 110 transmits a request message for the combination information 120 to the education support system 100. The request message may include any parameters for obtaining the combination information 120. As an example, the request message may include information on the students to be analyzed, their grades or test results, and survey results. The students to be analyzed may be selected in any group unit, such as by grade or class. The terminal 110 displays the combination information 120 received from the education support system 100 on a display.

[0027] The combination information 120 may include combination information 320 (see FIG. 3) and combination information 520 (see FIG. 5). In one aspect, the education support system 100 may simultaneously or sequentially transmit both the combination information 320 and the combination information 520 to the terminal 110. In another aspect, the education support system 100 may individually transmit the combination information 320 and the combination information 520 to the terminal 110.

[0028] In one aspect, terminal 110 may be configured to be able to communicate with education support system 100 via a browser installed on terminal 110. In another aspect, terminal 110 may be configured to be able to communicate with education support system 100 via a client program installed on terminal 110. Furthermore, in another aspect, terminal 110 may be integrated with education support system 100.

[0029] Next, the main terms used in this specification will be explained. In this specification, a "system" refers to a mechanism that provides a specific function. The education support system 100 refers to a mechanism that provides a set of functions described in this specification. In one aspect, the education support system 100 includes a physical device or a group of devices that are composed of one or more devices. The education support system 100 also includes a logical device or a group of devices that are composed of one or more virtual machines. When the education support system 100 is composed of one or more devices, it may be referred to as an education support device. In another aspect, the education support system 100 may be a program. In this case, the education support system 100 may be realized as a web application or a server application that communicates with a client application. Alternatively, the education support system 100 may be realized as a standalone application.

[0030] As used herein, "grades" refers to the level of knowledge and skills a student has acquired through an educational curriculum. Grades are determined primarily based on test results and the like. Grades may also be referred to as academic ability. Grades may also be referred to as the percentage of correct answers on a test or test score. The percentage of correct answers on a test may be the percentage of correct answers on a single test in a certain subject. Alternatively, the percentage of correct answers on a test may be the average of the percentage of correct answers on multiple tests in a certain subject. A test score may be the score on a single test in a certain subject. Alternatively, the test score may be the average of the scores on multiple tests in a certain subject. In one aspect, the education support system 100 may calculate grades for each subject, area, or unit from the results of one or more tests.

[0031] In this specification, "combined information of grades and survey results (sometimes simply referred to as "combined information")" refers to information that expresses a combination of a student's grades and survey results in an arbitrary format. As an example, the education support system 100 may plot marks representing each student in a two-dimensional space in which the first axis represents grades and the second axis represents survey results. In this case, the first axis of the two-dimensional space represents grades (or the percentage of correct answers or scores on a test), and the second axis represents survey results (such as the number of options). As another example, the education support system 100 may plot marks representing the number of students by grade in a two-dimensional space in which the first axis represents the first survey result and the second axis represents the second survey result. Alternatively, the education support system 100 may output information that arbitrarily combines grades for each unit and one or more survey results. Furthermore, the education support system 100 may output information that arbitrarily combines grades for multiple subjects and one or more survey results. In this specification, "combined information" may refer to information that combines grades and survey results for each student or group of students. For example, each mark 360, 560 plotted in two-dimensional space (see FIGS. 3 and 5) is combination information. In this specification, "combination information" may refer to the entire combination of student grades and survey results displayed on a screen. For example, combination information 320, 520 corresponds to the entire combination of student grades and survey results.

[0032] As used herein, a "student" refers to a person receiving an education. As an example, a student includes an elementary school student, a junior high school student, a high school student, a university student, and other people studying at educational institutions. In addition, a student may also include a person studying at a driving school, a vocational school, or a correspondence course.

[0033] In this specification, a "teacher" refers to a person who is in a position to educate and guide students. It can also be said to be a user who uses the education support system 100. As an example, a teacher includes a person who is in a position to educate and guide students at an elementary school, a middle school, a high school, a university, or any other educational institution.

[0034] As used herein, a "group" is a unit for aggregating or classifying students. Students may be grouped based on one or more criteria. For example, students may be grouped based on grade and class. Students may also be grouped based on one or more of school name, major, grade, class, and other arbitrary criteria. The term "group" may be read as "collection."

[0035] In this specification, "area," "unit," and "system" refer to classifications of learning content for each subject established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. A unit is the smallest classification of a subject. An area is a classification that brings together multiple related units. A system refers to the connection between related units.

[0036] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a first screen 200 provided by the education support system 100. The first screen 200 is a screen for selecting an analysis target and includes an analysis button 210 and an analysis target selection item 220. The analysis target selection item 220 is configured to allow selection of a group that can be analyzed. In some aspects, the analysis target selection item 220 may be configured to allow individual selection of one or more students. When the analysis button 210 is pressed, the terminal 110 is configured to transmit a request message for combination information 120 to the education support system 100. The request message includes information indicating the group or student selected in the analysis target selection item 220. In response to the request message, the education support system 100 transmits the combination information 120 to the terminal 110. Upon receiving the combination information 120, the terminal 110 transitions the first screen 200 to a second screen 300. In some aspects, the terminal 110 may update a portion of the first screen 200 to display the second screen 300.

[0037] In one aspect, the terminal 110 may log in to the education support system 100 to access functions of the education support system 100. In this case, the education support system 100 may transmit the first screen 200 as an initial screen to the terminal 110 that has successfully logged in. The first screen 200 is displayed on the display of the terminal 110. In one aspect, the first screen 200 may be displayed on a browser of the terminal 110. In another aspect, the first screen 200 may be displayed on a client program of the terminal 110.

[0038] In another aspect, the education support system 100 may be configured to provide functions and screens for registering information on areas, units, and systems for each subject. The education support system 100 may also be configured to provide functions and screens for registering student information. The education support system 100 may also be configured to provide functions and screens for registering each student's grades. The education support system 100 may also be configured to provide functions and screens for registering each student's test results. The test results may include information on correct and incorrect answers for each question and unit. The education support system 100 may also be configured to provide functions and screens for registering questionnaires. The education support system 100 may also be configured to provide functions and screens for responding to questionnaires. Using these functions, the education support system 100 is configured to be able to register, for example, each piece of data shown in FIGS. 8 to 12. Access to the information registration function may be granted only to some users.

[0039] 3 is a diagram showing an example of a second screen 300 provided by the education support system 100. The second screen 300 displays combination information 120 of the group or student selected by the first screen 200. The combination information 120 received by the terminal 110 includes any data necessary to display the second screen 300.

[0040] The second screen 300 includes an analysis button 210, an analysis target selection item 220, a display switching tab 310, a combination information switching item 325, a student filter item 330, a student display item 335, a class year switching item 340, a grade rank type display 351, a gap zone explanation display 352, and combination information 320. The combination information 320 corresponds to the combination information 120 in FIG. 1 .

[0041] The display switching tabs 310 are configured to switch the display on the second screen 300. A teacher can switch the display on the second screen 300 by selecting each tab on the display switching tabs 310. For example, the second screen 300 may display not only the combination information 320 of grades and survey results, but also a screen that analyzes only grades for each subject, such as Japanese and arithmetic. In the example of FIG. 3, the display switching tabs 310 include three tabs: Japanese, arithmetic, and survey (corresponding to the combination information 320), but this is merely an example. The display switching tabs 310 may include any number of tabs. In one aspect, the display switching tabs 310 may include tabs for all subjects registered in the education support system 100. In another aspect, the display switching tabs 310 may include tabs for subjects taught by the teacher who has logged in to the education support system 100.

[0042] The combination information switching item 325 is configured to be able to switch between the second screen 300 and the third screen 500. In other words, the combination information switching item 325 is configured to be able to change the combination information displayed on the screen. The teacher can switch between the second screen 300 and the third screen 500 by operating the combination information switching item 325. In the example of FIG. 3, the combination information switching item 325 is realized as a checkbox, but this is merely an example. The combination information switching item 325 can be realized as an operation item in any format, such as a button or a pull-down menu.

[0043] The student filter item 330 is configured to enable filtering of the information to be included in the combination information 320 by grade. In the example of FIG. 3, "Class 2, Year 6" is selected in the analysis target selection item 220, and "Entire class" is selected in the combination information 320. In this case, the combination information 320 includes the grades and survey results of all "students in Class 2, Year 6 this year." Assume, for example, that the teacher specifies "student numbers 1 to 10" in the student filter item 330. In this case, the combination information 320 includes the grades and survey results of "students in Class 2, Year 6 this year, Student Numbers 1 to 10." The student display item 335 displays information about the students selected in the student filter item 330.

[0044] The class year switching item 340 is configured to enable switching of the year of the analysis target selected in the analysis target selection item 220. In the example of FIG. 3, "6th grade class 2" is selected in the analysis target selection item 220, and "2023 (6th grade)" is selected in the class year switching item 340. In this case, the second screen 300 displays combination information 320 of when the "students of 6th grade class 2" were in the 6th grade (i.e., this year). Let us assume that "2022 (5th grade)" is selected in the class year switching item 340. In this case, the second screen 300 displays combination information 320 of when the "students of 6th grade class 2" were in the 5th grade (i.e., last year).

[0045] The combination information 320 includes combination information of each student's grades and questionnaire results. The combination information of each student's grades and questionnaire results may be displayed by subject. In the example of Figure 3, the combination information 320 includes combination information 353A for Japanese and combination information 353B for arithmetic.

[0046] The combination information 320 may include combinations of grades for each subject and each of a plurality of questionnaire results. Using Fig. 3 as an example, combination information 353A for Japanese includes combinations of Japanese grades and the results of the Japanese questionnaire, such as "I like it," "I understand it well," and "It's important and useful." Similarly, combination information 353B for math includes combinations of grades for math and the results of the math questionnaire, such as "I like it," "I understand it well," and "It's important and useful."

[0047] The combination information 320 includes marks 360 representing students plotted in two-dimensional space. In some aspects, the marks 360 may represent one student. In other aspects, the marks 360 may represent multiple students. In this case, the multiple students represented by the marks 360 may be students who have the same grades and who gave the same answers to questionnaires. Alternatively, the multiple students represented by the marks 360 may be students who have similar grades and who gave the same answers to questionnaires. The marks 360 may also be distinguished by color and / or shape based on the grade rank. The type of grade rank represented by each mark 360 is displayed in the grade rank type display 351. The marks 360 can be said to be combination information for each student (or for multiple students).

[0048] In the combination information 320, any gaps between grades and survey results may be highlighted. Using Figure 3 as an example, area 362 plotting students who selected negative survey results for a certain subject despite having good grades in that subject is highlighted. Similarly, area 364 plotting students who selected positive survey results for a certain subject despite having poor grades in that subject is highlighted. An explanation of each gap area is displayed in the gap zone explanation display 352.

[0049] In one aspect, the survey results used to display second screen 300 may be responses to a student survey on a subject. In another aspect, the survey results used to display second screen 300 may be responses to a survey on family environment, personal worries, human relationships, etc., that are not directly related to subjects. Furthermore, in another aspect, one of the axes constituting the two-dimensional space may indicate the magnitude of the response (value) to an individual question included in the survey (e.g., "Do you like Japanese?"). As an example, the response may be expressed as a numerical value on a scale of 1 to 5. Alternatively, one of the axes constituting the two-dimensional space may indicate the magnitude of the response (value) to the entire survey. In this case, the response to the entire survey may be, for example, the average value of the responses to each question. Alternatively, one of the axes constituting the two-dimensional space may indicate the magnitude of the response (value) to one or more surveys belonging to a certain category. In this case, the response to one or more surveys belonging to a certain category may be, for example, the average value of the responses to each question in each survey.

[0050] As described above, the education support system 100 can present combined information 320 of grades and survey results for a selected group or student. The education support system 100 can also plot marks 360 indicating students by grade rank in two-dimensional space. Furthermore, the education support system 100 can highlight areas 362, 364 in the two-dimensional space where there is a gap between the grades and the survey results.

[0051] By referring to the combination information 320, teachers can understand not only each student's grades but also their attitude or awareness toward studying. This allows teachers to determine a teaching policy appropriate for each student. As an example, a teacher can provide guidance to improve the decline in motivation of a student who has good grades but low awareness toward studying. As another example, a teacher can provide guidance to improve the study method of a student who has poor grades but high awareness toward studying.

[0052] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another example of the second screen 300 provided by the education support system 100. The second screen 300 is configured to allow a teacher to select a mark 360 in the combination information 320. As an example, when a teacher selects a specific mark 360 with a cursor 410 or the like, the second screen 300 may display information 430 of the student indicated by the selected mark 360. In the example of FIG. 4, the student information 430 displays only the student's name, but this is merely an example. The student information 430 may include any information related to the student.

[0053] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a third screen 500 provided by the education support system 100. The third screen 500 displays combination information 520 in which marks 560 indicating groups of students by grade are plotted in a two-dimensional space in which the first and second axes are both questionnaire results.

[0054] The second screen 300 and the third screen 500 are configured to be switchable between each other by operating the combination information switching item 325. In one aspect, the second screen 300 and the third screen 500 may transition between each other by operating the combination information switching item 325. In another aspect, the operation of the combination information switching item 325 may switch some of the items displayed on the screen.

[0055] Third screen 500 includes analysis button 210, analysis target selection item 220, display switching tab 310, combination information switching item 325, class year switching item 340, category selection item 505, analysis target switching item 530, grade rank type display 550, and combination information 520. Combination information 520 corresponds to combination information 120 in FIG. 1. Furthermore, category selection item 505 includes first selection item 510 and second selection item 515. Analysis button 210, analysis target selection item 220, display switching tab 310, combination information switching item 325, and class year switching item 340 are the same as those in second screen 300, and therefore their description will not be repeated.

[0056] Category selection item 505 is configured to allow selection of an item on a first axis and an item on a second axis in the two-dimensional space in combination information 520. More specifically, the teacher can select an item on the first axis (vertical axis) from first selection item 510. Similarly, the teacher can select an item on the second axis (horizontal axis) from second selection item 515. In one aspect, these items may be categories of a questionnaire. In another aspect, these items may be individual questions in a questionnaire. In another aspect, these items may be the questionnaire itself, which includes multiple questions.

[0057] As one example, when a certain category is selected as the first axis, the education support system 100 calculates, for each student, the average value of the answers to the questionnaire classified into the certain category. Then, the education support system 100 determines the plot position of the mark 560 in the first axis direction based on the average value. As another example, when a certain question is selected as the first axis, the education support system 100 acquires the answers to the certain question for each student. Then, the education support system 100 determines the plot position of the mark 560 in the first axis direction based on the answers to the certain question. As yet another example, when a certain questionnaire is selected as the first axis, the education support system 100 calculates, for each student, the average value of the answers to each question included in the certain questionnaire. Then, the education support system 100 determines the plot position of the mark 560 in the first axis direction based on the average value of the answers to the certain questionnaire.

[0058] The combination information 520 is obtained by plotting marks 560 representing groups of students in a two-dimensional space consisting of two axes corresponding to the two items selected in the category selection item 505. The marks 560 indicate groups of students with a certain grade rank. The display form of the marks 560 differs for each grade rank. The type of grade rank indicated by each mark 560 is displayed in the grade rank type display 550. The grade rank type display 550 also indicates that the size of the mark indicates the number of students. The marks 560 can be said to be combination information for each group of students.

[0059] Mark 560 will be explained in more detail using FIG. 5 as an example. Mark 560A indicates a group of students who answered "2" to the questionnaire on the first axis "proactive, interactive, and deep learning" and "1" to the questionnaire on the second axis "sense of happiness." Mark 560A also indicates that the academic rank of the group of students is B rank. Similarly, mark 560B indicates a group of students who answered "5" to the questionnaire on the first axis "proactive, interactive, and deep learning" and "4" to the questionnaire on the second axis "sense of happiness." Mark 560B also indicates that the academic rank of the group of students is A rank.

[0060] In one aspect, the survey results used to display third screen 500 may be responses to a student survey about a subject. In another aspect, the survey results used to display third screen 500 may be responses to a survey about home environment, personal worries, human relationships, etc. that are not directly related to subjects.

[0061] The analysis target switching item 530 is configured to allow selection of a group of students to be plotted in the combination information 520. In the example of Figure 5, the analysis target switching item 530 is configured to allow selection of the entire school or the entire class, but this is merely an example. In some aspects, the analysis target switching item 530 may be configured to allow selection of the group of students to be plotted in the combination information 520 in more detail based on multiple conditions.

[0062] As described above, the education support system 100 can present the combined information 520 of grades and two questionnaire results. The education support system 100 can also change the display format of the mark 560 for each grade rank. Furthermore, the education support system 100 can change the size of the mark 560 depending on the number of students. Because the size of the mark 560 changes depending on the number of students, it may be called a bubble.

[0063] By referring to the combination information 520, the teacher can grasp the distribution status of the students' grades for each combination of multiple questionnaires. As an example, assume that the grades of students who answered in the questionnaire that their happiness level at home is low and their reading volume is small tend to be low. In this case, the teacher can improve the students' grades by addressing these issues in addition to studying at school. Thus, by referring to the combination information 520, the teacher can grasp the problems that students have which cannot be grasped only by analyzing academic ability.

[0064] <B. Configuration of Educational Support System> FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the functional blocks of the educational support system 100. Each functional block shown in FIG. 6 realizes the functions of the educational support system 100 disclosed in this specification.

The acquisition unit 620 may accept this information via the UI 610 and store this information in the storage unit 650. The acquisition unit 620 may also accept student information, unit information, system information, grade information, and questionnaire information and store this information in the storage unit 650. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 620 may accept any operation input from a user such as a teacher from the terminal 110. The acquisition unit 620 outputs the accepted operation input to the selection unit 630. The acquisition unit 620 may also be interpreted as an input unit or a receiving unit.

[0068] Based on the acquired operation input, the selection unit 630 selects one or more pieces of grade information from the plurality of pieces of grade information and selects one or more pieces of survey result information from the plurality of pieces of survey result information. More specifically, the selection unit 630 searches the storage unit 650 using parameters included in the operation input (conditions such as class selection information and survey selection information) as keys. Then, the selection unit 630 reads out one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information that meet the conditions from the storage unit 650 and outputs this information to the display unit 640.

[0069] Display unit 640 displays information combining the selected one or more pieces of performance information and one or more pieces of survey result information. More specifically, display unit 640 generates information for displaying second screen 300 or third screen 500 based on the information acquired from selection unit 630, and transmits the information to terminal 110. Note that display unit 640 may be interpreted as an output unit or a transmission unit.

[0070] Storage unit 650 stores various information required to display second screen 300 or third screen 500.

[0081] As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 , the education support system 100 includes an acquisition unit 620 that acquires multiple pieces of grade information and multiple pieces of survey result information for multiple students. The multiple pieces of grade information are indicators indicating grades for each subject based on the results of one or more tests. The multiple pieces of survey result information are indicators indicating responses to surveys related to subjects, attitudes, or lifestyles. The education support system 100 further includes a selection unit 630 that selects one or more pieces of grade information from the multiple pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information from the multiple pieces of survey result information, and a display unit 640 that displays combined information of the selected one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information. The subject survey result information may include responses to any questions related to the subject, such as comprehension of the subject, likes and dislikes, etc. The attitude survey result information may include responses to any questions related to the student's attitude, such as attitudes about each subject, general attitudes, school life, or daily life. The lifestyle survey result information may include responses to any questions related to the student's life, such as school life, daily life, lifestyle habits, or relationships, etc. In one aspect, education support system 100 may receive an operation input for selecting grade information and survey result information via acquisition unit 620. In this case, selection unit 630 may select one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information based on the operation input. In another aspect, selection unit 630 may automatically select one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information from storage unit 650. As an example, selection unit 630 may automatically select one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information related to students taught by a teacher who is logged in to education support system 100.

[0082] The grade information may be classified by subject, area, and unit. Selecting one or more pieces of grade information from among the plurality of pieces of grade information includes selecting one or more pieces of grade information in units of any of subjects, areas, and units.

[0083] The score information may indicate the score rank or the percentage of correct answers for questions in one or more tests administered during a period designated by the acquisition unit. For example, the education support system 100 may count the number of correct answers for questions in the same unit and calculate the percentage of correct answers by dividing the number of correct answers by the number of questions.

[0084] The questionnaire includes one or more questions about subjects, life at home, and life at school. The education support system 100 may be configured to display a response screen for answering the questionnaire based on information acquired from the questionnaire information table 675. The education support system 100 may also store the questionnaire results collected from students via the response screen in the questionnaire result information table 680.

[0085] The education support system 100 may display the combination information 320. As shown in FIG. 3, displaying the combination information 320 includes, based on the selection of one piece of grade information and one piece of questionnaire result information, setting the value of the selected piece of grade information as a value along a first axis, setting the value of the selected piece of questionnaire result information as a value along a second axis, and plotting the combination information for each student in a two-dimensional space formed by the first and second axes. The plotted combination information may be represented as a mark 360. In this specification, the terms "value of grade information" and "value of questionnaire result information" may include expressions including any characters other than numbers (e.g., ranks A to C).

[0086] Also, displaying the combination information 320 includes, as shown in FIG. 3, setting the value of each of the selected one or more achievement information as the value in the direction of the first axis, setting the value of each of the selected one or more questionnaire result information as the value in the direction of the second axis, and for each combination of each of the one or more achievement information and each of the one or more questionnaire result information, plotting the combination information for each student in a two-dimensional space composed of the first axis and the second axis. Taking FIG. 3 as an example, marks 360 are plotted in the two-dimensional space for each combination of each of the scores in the subjects "Japanese, arithmetic" and each of the answers to the questionnaire "like, understand well, important & useful".

[0087] Furthermore, the education support system 100 may display the combination information 520. That is, selecting one or more achievement information and one or more questionnaire result information includes selecting a set of a first questionnaire result and a second questionnaire result, and selecting one or more achievement information associated with the set. Displaying the combination information 520 includes setting the value of the first questionnaire result as the value in the direction of the first axis, setting the value of the second questionnaire result as the value in the direction of the second axis, and plotting one or more achievement information for each group of students having the same achievement in a two-dimensional space composed of the first axis and the second axis. The one or more achievement information may be represented as marks 560.

[0088] <C. Data Configuration> Next, each information stored in the storage unit 650 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. The education support system 100 can obtain the information to be displayed on the second screen 300 or the third screen 500 by referring to each information stored in the storage unit 650. Each information stored in the storage unit 650 may be represented as a table in a rational database, or may be represented in any other data format such as JSON (JavaScript (registered trademark) Object Notation).

[0089] 8 is a diagram showing an example of a student information table 660. The student information table 660 includes a student ID (Identifier) ​​810, a display name 820, a year 830, a grade 840, and a class 850 as items.

[0090] The student ID 810 uniquely identifies the student. The display name 820 is the name of the student that is displayed on the UI 610 of the education support system 100. In some aspects, the student name may be the student's full name or a nickname.

[0091] The year 830 indicates a year such as the Gregorian calendar year. The year 830 is mainly used in conjunction with the grade 840 and class 850. The grade 840 indicates a student's grade in a certain year. The class 850 indicates a student's class in a certain year. In the example of Figure 8, student "No. 1" will be in "4th grade class 1" in "2021" and "5th grade class 2" in "2022".

[0092] 9 is a diagram showing an example of the unit information table 665. The unit information table 665 includes the following items: a unit code 910, a subject code 920, a grade 930, an area code 940, an area name 950, and a unit name 960.

[0093] The unit code 910 uniquely identifies a unit for each subject. The subject code 920 uniquely identifies a subject. The grade 930 indicates in which grade a student will study each unit. The area code 940 uniquely identifies an area for each subject. The area name 950 is the name of the area to which the unit indicated by the unit code 910 belongs. The area name 950 can be used as text to be displayed on the UI 610. The unit name 960 is the name of the unit indicated by the unit code 910. The unit name 960 can be used as text to be displayed on the UI 610.

[0094] 10 is a diagram showing an example of a grade information table 670. Each row of the grade information table 670 indicates a student's grade (achievement value) for each unit. The grade information table 670 includes the following items: student ID 1010, unit code 1020, area name 1030, unit name 1040, achievement year 1050, grade rank 1060, and correct answer rate 1070.

[0095] The student ID 1010 uniquely identifies a student. The student ID 1010 corresponds to the student ID 810. The unit code 1020 uniquely identifies a unit for each subject. The unit code 1020 corresponds to the unit code 910. The area name 1030 is the name of the area to which the unit indicated by the unit code 1020 belongs. The unit name 1040 is the name of the unit indicated by the unit code 1020. The performance year 1050 indicates the year in which a test or the like including questions for the unit indicated by the unit code 1020 was conducted. The performance rank 1060 is the rank of the performance for the unit indicated by the unit code 1020. The performance rank corresponds to the performance rank on the second screen 300. The correct answer rate 1070 indicates the correct answer rate for questions related to the unit indicated by the unit code 1020. As an example, the correct answer rate 1070 may be the average correct answer rate of questions in the test related to the unit indicated by the unit code 1020. The education support system 100 may determine the performance rank 1060 according to the value of the correct answer rate 1070 for each unit. As an example, the education support system 100 may determine the performance rank 1060 such that a correct answer rate of "0 to 33%" is "Rank C," a correct answer rate of "34 to 66%" is "Rank B," and a correct answer rate of "67 to 100%" is "Rank A." The education support system 100 may accept registration of information such as each student's grades or test results via the UI 610. The education support system 100 may update the performance information table 670 as needed based on the acceptance of the registration of this information.

[0096] 11 is a diagram showing an example of a survey information table 675. Each row of the survey information table 675 contains information about an individual question included in a survey. The survey information table 675 includes the following items: survey number 1110, survey title 1120, category 1130, question number 1140, content 1150, response method 1160, and subject code 1170.

[0097] The questionnaire No. 1110 uniquely identifies the questionnaire. Each questionnaire indicated by the questionnaire No. 1110 can be used as a selection item for the category selection item 505. The questionnaire title 1120 is the name of the questionnaire indicated by the questionnaire No. 1110. The questionnaire title 1120 is displayed on the UI 610 of the education support system 100, such as on a questionnaire response screen. The category 1130 indicates the category (or questionnaire category) of the question indicated by the question No. 1140. The category 1130 can be used as a selection item for the category selection item 505.

[0098] Question No. 1140 uniquely identifies an individual question included in the questionnaire. Each question indicated by question No. 1140 can be used as a selection item for category selection item 505. Content 1150 is the content of the question indicated by question No. 1140. Content 1150 is displayed on the UI 610 of the education support system 100, such as a questionnaire response screen. One questionnaire can include multiple questions. In the example of FIG. 11, questionnaire No. 1110 "1" includes five questions, question Nos. "12, 13, 14, 15, and 22."

[0099] Response method 1160 indicates the method of response to the question indicated by question No. 1140. Response method 1160 will be explained using the first row of survey information table 675 as an example. Response method 1160 in the first row of survey information table 675 is "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." This indicates that a five-point rating option is provided for the question "Do you enjoy going to school?"

[0100] The subject code 1170 indicates which subject each question corresponds to. Each question may or may not correspond to each subject. In the example of FIG. 11, the subject code 1170 "1" indicates that the question corresponds to Japanese. The subject code 1170 "3" indicates that the question corresponds to arithmetic. Also, the subject code 1170 "99" indicates that the question does not correspond to a specific subject.

[0101] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the questionnaire result information table 680. Each row of the questionnaire result information table 680 shows the answer of each student for an individual question included in a certain questionnaire.

[0102] The questionnaire result information table 680 includes, as items, a student ID 1210, a response date 1220, a questionnaire No. 1230, a question No. 1240, and an answer 1250. The student ID 1210 uniquely identifies a student and corresponds to the student ID 810. The response date 1220 indicates the date on which the student answered the questions of the questionnaire. The questionnaire No. 1230 uniquely identifies a questionnaire and corresponds to the questionnaire No. 1110. The question No. 1240 uniquely identifies an individual question included in the questionnaire and corresponds to the question No. 1140. The answer 1250 is an answer to the question and includes one of the options specified by the answer method 1160.

[0103] The education support system 100 generates and outputs a questionnaire screen by referring to the questionnaire information table 675. Then, the education support system 100 can obtain questionnaire results from each student via the questionnaire screen. The education support system 100 stores the response results in the questionnaire result information table 680 in association with the information in the student information table 660 and the questionnaire information table 675. In a certain situation, the education support system 100 may provide a screen for inputting the response results of a paper questionnaire. In this case, as an example, a teacher can register the questionnaire results of each student in the education support system 100.

[0104] <D. System operation procedure> Next, a procedure for displaying combination information 320 and a procedure for displaying combination information 520 by education support system 100 will be described with reference to Figures 13 and 14. In one aspect, processor 701 may load a program for performing the processes of Figures 13 and 14 from secondary storage device 703 to primary storage device 702 and execute the program. In another aspect, some or all of the processes may be realized as a combination of circuit elements configured to perform the processes. Furthermore, in another aspect, the order of the following steps may be reversed.

[0105] 13 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure by which the education support system 100 displays the combination information 320. In step S1310, the education support system 100 acquires information about the group or student to be analyzed. The education support system 100 can acquire information about students belonging to the group to be analyzed (such as a grade or class) or about individual students from the student information table 660.

[0106] In step S1320, the education support system 100 obtains the results of the survey conducted in the year selected on the screen from the survey result information. The year selected on the screen here may be the year selected using the class year switching item 340. The education support system 100 may temporarily generate tables such as tables T1310 and T1320. Table T1310 is an example of a table obtained by extracting surveys conducted in the year selected on the screen from the survey information table 675. Table T1320 is an example of a table obtained by extracting responses to a survey conducted in the year selected on the screen from the survey result information table 680.

[0107] In step S1330, the education support system 100 filters the grade information by the student information for the year and class selected on the screen, and aggregates grades for each subject. The student information for the year and class selected on the screen may be the student information selected using the analysis target selection item 220 and the student filter item 330. The education support system 100 may temporarily generate a table such as table T1330. Table T1330 is an example of a table obtained by extracting grade information that matches the filter conditions from the grade information table 670.

[0108] In step S1340, the education support system 100 combines the survey results and grade information by subject and survey category and determines the plot position of each mark 360. In one aspect, the education support system 100 may combine the survey results and grade information by subject and survey category. In another aspect, the education support system 100 may combine the survey results and grade information by subject and question category. The education support system 100 may temporarily generate a table such as table T1340. Each row of table T1340 corresponds to each mark 360 and includes the following items: student ID, subject name, survey information, and coordinates. The survey information may include any of the survey category, survey, and question. The coordinates are the plot position of the mark 360.

[0109] In step S1350, the education support system 100 plots and displays each mark 360 on the screen for each student. The processing of this step corresponds to the display processing of the second screen 300. The education support system 100 can plot each mark 360 on the screen by referring to table T1340. As an example, the mark 360 of the student with student ID "10001" is plotted at coordinates (4, B) in the two-dimensional space P1350. The two-dimensional space P1350 is a space that shows the combination of the subject "arithmetic" and the answer to the survey category (or survey, question) "like" for each student.

[0110] 14 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure in which education support system 100 displays combination information 520. The processing from steps S1410 to S1430 is the same as the processing from steps S1310 to S1330, and therefore description of these processing will not be repeated. Furthermore, each of tables T1410, T1420, T1430, and T1440 is the same as each of tables T1310, T1320, T1330, and T1340, and therefore description of these tables will not be repeated.

[0111] In step S1440, the education support system 100 combines the survey results and grade information by subject and multiple survey categories. The education support system 100 also determines the items for the first axis, the items for the second axis, and the size and plot position of each mark 560. The items for each axis may be a survey category, a survey, or a question. The education support system 100 may temporarily generate a table such as table T1440. Rows in table T1440 correspond to each mark 560 and include the following items: coordinates, grade rank, and tally result. The coordinates are the plot position of the mark 560. The grade rank indicates the grade rank of the students included in the mark 560. The tally result indicates the number of students included in the mark 560. The size of the mark 560 is proportional to the number of tally results.

[0112] In step S1450, the education support system 100 plots and displays each mark 560 on the screen for each group of students with the same academic rank. The processing of this step corresponds to the display processing of the third screen 500. To explain this step using element 1450 in the seventh row of table T1440 as an example, a mark 560 indicating a student with academic rank "C" is displayed at coordinates (4,3) in two-dimensional space. The size of the mark 560 at this time is proportional to the tally result "10".

[0113] As described above, the education support system 100 can execute the methods shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 by executing an education support program. That is, the education support program causes the education support system 100 to acquire multiple pieces of grade information and multiple pieces of survey result information for each of multiple students. The multiple pieces of grade information are indicators indicating grades for each subject based on the results of one or more tests. The multiple pieces of survey result information are indicators indicating responses to surveys regarding subjects, attitudes, or lifestyles. The education support program further causes the education support system 100 to select one or more pieces of grade information from the multiple pieces of grade information, select one or more pieces of survey result information from the multiple pieces of survey result information, and display combined information of the selected one or more pieces of grade information and one or more pieces of survey result information.

[0114] <E.まとめ> As described above, the education support system 100 according to the present embodiment can present information combining student grades and questionnaire results that are not associated with tests or the like. By using the education support system 100, teachers can provide guidance to each student based on not only their grades but also the questionnaire results. Furthermore, by referring to the combination of each student's grades and questionnaire results, teachers can easily understand the problems of each individual student.

[0115] In some cases, by referring to the combination information 320, a teacher can understand not only each student's grades but also their attitude or awareness toward studying. This allows the teacher to determine a teaching policy appropriate for each student. As one example, a teacher can provide guidance to improve the motivation of a student who has good grades but low academic awareness. As another example, a teacher can provide guidance to improve the study method of a student who has poor grades but high academic awareness.

[0116] In another aspect, by referring to the combination information 520, teachers can understand the distribution of students' grades for each combination of multiple questionnaires. As an example, students who responded in the questionnaire that they were less happy at home and read less tend to have lower grades. In this case, teachers can improve students' grades by addressing these issues in addition to their studies at school. In this way, by referring to the combination information 520, teachers can understand problems students have that cannot be identified by analyzing academic ability alone.

[0117] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, not by the above description, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims. Furthermore, the disclosures described in the embodiments and each modification are intended to be implemented, as far as possible, either alone or in combination. [Explanation of symbols]
