Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a learning aid that uses a hard, transparent film on the surface of which writing can be easily erased with a whiteboard marker, and allows learners to independently progress with their studies by covering over the surface of the film above their own learning items with a whiteboard marker, accurately reproducing the hidden items. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, for the convenience of learners, the creators of educational materials would determine the important items that learners should study and master, print those important items in red ink, and the learner would then cover the red-printed parts with a red sheet, which would then be indistinguishable from the red sheet and hide the important items printed in red. This method is widely used, whereby learners can accurately reproduce the hidden important items while checking their own progress in learning as they proceed with their studies. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The traditional method of covering important items printed in red in teaching materials with a red sheet makes it impossible to distinguish the red printed parts from the red on the red sheet, thus hiding the items printed in red, and the learner must make an effort to accurately reproduce the hidden items as they progress through their studies. This method contributes greatly to individual learning. However, the red sheet learning method has the following problems. (1) The important items to be studied are decided unilaterally by the creators and printed in red, so they do not necessarily meet the needs of individual learners according to their academic ability. (2) Considering that each learner has different important items to study and master, and that the important items that a learner needs to study on the same page will change one after another depending on the learner's level of progress, it is desirable for each learner to first use their own ingenuity to independently set study items that suit their current level of progress, and then study while making an effort to accurately reproduce the important items that have been hidden to make them difficult to see, and after completing their studies, to set other study items on the same page and continue studying while accurately reproducing the learning items that have been hidden to make them difficult to see.However, the red sheet study method cannot flexibly respond to such various needs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] This device provides a hard, transparent film of a size suitable for the pages of various teaching materials, on whose surface it can be written and erased freely with a whiteboard marker. To allow the hard, transparent film to be attached to the page to be studied and then released from the page after the study is completed, a weak adhesive area is provided near the center of the left and right sides near the top edge of the back of the hard, transparent film, which allows the film to be easily attached and peeled off. Furthermore, at a position slightly wider from the top edge of the hard, transparent film than the adhesive area, a notch is made from the left edge to the right on the surface, leaving about 1 cm of the right edge uncut, and the top side of the notch is divided into an area with adhesive and an area on the bottom side of the notch where the surface of the film above the item to be studied is covered with a whiteboard marker to conceal the area for study. Furthermore, since there is a risk of damaging the page if the adhesive portion on the backside of the above-mentioned hard, transparent film is directly attached to the surface of the page to be studied, a hard, transparent film adhesive portion receiver is provided near the center of the left and right sides of the top edge of the page to be studied. This is made by attaching the adhesive portion of a transparent, single-sided adhesive tape with an area larger than the adhesive portion on the backside of the hard, transparent film to the page. When the student attaches the adhesive portion on the backside of the hard, transparent film to the surface of the adhesive portion receiver on the page to be studied, the hard, transparent film is attached to the page to be studied. Furthermore, since the adhesive is weakly attached so that it can be easily attached and removed, it can be easily released. Below, we will explain how to proceed with learning using this hard, transparent film. The adhesive portion on the back of the hard transparent film is loosely attached to the adhesive portion of the hard transparent film on the page to be studied, allowing it to be easily attached and detached. The hard transparent film is then attached to the page to be studied so that it can be freely attached and detached. The learner then uses a whiteboard marker to cover up the portion of the hard transparent film that is located above an important item on the page to be studied, which the learner has arbitrarily selected and which should be hidden. The important item is then hidden and becomes invisible. The learner can independently study the page, constantly checking whether they can accurately reproduce the hidden important item.To check whether the reproduction has been accurate, grasp the base edge of the hard transparent film with your fingers, etc., and use the notch as a fulcrum to roll up the page to make the printed page visible, or use the right edge of the uncut surface of the page as a fulcrum to rotate the base part of the hard transparent film slightly with your fingers, etc., to easily see the printed part hidden underneath the film and continue learning. Also, after the learner has mastered the learning item they have chosen through the above-mentioned learning process, they can wipe off the ink on the film above the learned item with a cloth, tissue paper, etc., and then arbitrarily select the next item to learn on the same page, fill in the area of ​​the hard transparent film above that area with a whiteboard marker, and then continue learning in the same way as above. Furthermore, as the learning progresses through the above learning process, when it is time to study a new page, the adhesive part on the back of the hard transparent film, which is loosely attached so that it can be attached and removed freely, is peeled off from the adhesive part holder on the page, releasing the hard transparent film from the learning page, then all the filled-in areas on the surface of the hard transparent film are wiped off with a cloth, tissue paper, etc., and the adhesive part on the back of the hard transparent film is stuck to the hard transparent film adhesive part holder on the page of the next page to be studied, and the hard transparent film is attached to the new page so that it can be attached and released freely, and then the learning continues in the above-mentioned manner, allowing the learner to independently and proactively proceed with learning one after another according to their individual needs, thereby solving the problem. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, when learning using the independent learning transparency sheet of this invention, the following learning effects can be expected. (1) Because learners can decide for themselves what to study, they can independently and actively study the topics that best suit their individual needs, and it is expected that they will progress through their studies while feeling the joy of acquiring knowledge. (2) When a learner has mastered an item, he or she can easily uncover it by wiping off the blackout on the surface of the film over that item. Next, he or she can set a new item on the same page that he or she wants to learn and hide it by blacking out the surface of the film over that item, and learn while reproducing the hidden part. Therefore, each person can set a variety of items to learn, and each person can proceed with hidden learning while using their own ingenuity and ingenuity. (3) Once a page has been studied, the hard transparent film can be easily released from the page, and after wiping off all the painted areas on the surface of the hard transparent film, the same hard transparent film can be freely attached and detached to the next page to be studied, allowing for autonomous learning to proceed one after another.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The following describes embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely examples for explaining the present invention. The present invention is not intended to be limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Example]

[0008] One embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a rigid, transparent film sized to fit the size of a page to be studied. A weakly adhesive area 6 is provided near the center of the left and right sides of the top edge of the back surface 4 of the rigid, transparent film 1, allowing the rigid, transparent film 1 to be attached and detached freely to the page 10 to be studied. Furthermore, the rigid, transparent film 1 is cut out from the left edge 7 of the surface toward the right edge 8, a position slightly wider than the adhesive area 6, leaving an uncut area 9a approximately 1 cm wide from the right edge 8. The rigid, transparent film 1 is divided into an area on the top side 12 of the cutouts 3a and 3b where the adhesive area 6 is provided, and an area on the bottom side 2 of the cutouts 3a and 3b where the surface 5 of the film 1 above the item to be studied is covered with a whiteboard marker for study. Next, since directly adhering the adhesive portion 6 to the page 10 to be studied could damage the surface of the page 10, to prevent this, an adhesive portion receiver 11 for adhering the adhesive portion 6 on the back surface 4 of the rigid transparent film 1 is provided near the center of the left and right sides near the top edge of the page 10 to be studied, with an area larger than the adhesive portion 6 on the back surface 4 of the rigid transparent film 1. The adhesive portion receiver 11 is provided by adhering the adhesive portion of a transparent single-sided adhesive tape to the surface of the page 10 to be studied. The following describes how to proceed with studying using the rigid transparent film 1. When the adhesive portion 6 provided near the center of the left and right sides near the top edge of the back surface 4 of the rigid transparent film 1 is attached to the adhesive portion receiver 11, which is provided near the center of the left and right sides near the top edge of the page 10 to be studied and has an area larger than the adhesive portion 6 of the film 1, the rigid transparent film 1 is freely engaged and disengaged with the page 10 to be studied. Next, on the page 10 to be studied, the learner uses a whiteboard marker to cover the surface 5 of the hard transparent film 1 that is located above the important item that the learner has arbitrarily designated to be hidden and studied, making the important item invisible and hidden. The learner can independently proceed with their study while constantly checking whether they can accurately reproduce the hidden important item as it is printed.To check whether the learner has accurately reproduced the page, the learner can grasp the edge of the base 2 of the rigid transparent film 1 with a finger or the like and use the cutout portion 3a as a fulcrum to roll up the page 10 to visualize the printed page, or the learner can slightly rotate the portion of the base 2 of the surface 5 of the rigid transparent film 1 with a finger or the like, using the uncut portion 9a as a fulcrum to shift the page, making it easier to see and confirm the printed portion hidden under the film 1, thereby allowing the learner to continue learning. Furthermore, after the learner has mastered the learning item they themselves have set through the aforementioned learning process, to study other items on the same page 10, they can wipe off the ink on the surface 5 of the film 1 above the learned portion with a cloth, tissue paper, or the like, select the next item to be studied, fill in the area above that portion on the surface 5 of the rigid transparent film 1 with a whiteboard marker, and then continue studying in the same manner as described above. Furthermore, as the learning progresses through the above learning process, when it is time to study a new page, the learner can peel off the adhesive portion 6 on the back surface 4 of the hard transparent film 1, which has been attached so that it can be easily stuck and peeled off, from the adhesive portion holder 11 provided on the page 10 to be studied, thereby releasing the hard transparent film 1 from its engagement with the page 10. After wiping off all the filled-in areas on the front surface 5 of the hard transparent film 1 with a cloth, tissue paper, etc., the adhesive portion 6 on the back surface 4 of the hard transparent film 1 is attached so that it can be easily stuck and peeled off to the hard transparent film adhesive portion holder provided on the surface of the next page to be studied, and after the hard transparent film 1 has been attached so that it can be easily stuck and peeled off to the new page, and the learner can then continue learning in the above-mentioned manner, allowing the learner to become independent and proactive in succession, progressing with learning according to their individual needs. [Industrial Applicability]

[0009] When using the hard transparent film for independent learning of this invention, learners can proceed with their own unique learning that meets their individual needs while being creative. Unlike traditional learning, which tends to be somewhat forced and uniform, it is expected that each learner will be able to study independently, creatively, actively, and enjoyably, and it is expected that this will be widely accepted by many learners.
