[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-65987 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Teachers and other learning support staff can improve their teaching methods by understanding each learner's level of mastery of the learning content based on test results, etc. Also, students and other learners can study more efficiently by recognizing their own level of mastery of the learning content.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve, for example, the problems described above, and has as its main objective the provision of a learning element list creation device that visualizes a learner's level of mastery of learning content. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In one aspect of the present invention, a learning element list creation device includes a creation unit that creates, for each learner, a learning element list in which one or more blocks indicating each learning element obtained by subdividing learning content by unit are arranged and which indicates the level of mastery of the learning content that the learning elements are the subject of, an output unit that outputs the learning element list, a grade information acquisition unit that acquires grade information related to the learner's grades, a judgment unit that judges whether the learner has mastered the learning element based on the grade information, and a priority learning element identification unit that analyzes the grade information to identify, for each unit, a learning element that should be studied with priority from among a plurality of learning elements that the learner has not mastered. A storage unit that stores the learning elements in association with tests and thresholds for confirming a level of mastery of the learning elements; Equipped with the performance information includes information regarding the score of the test given by the learner, and the determination unit determines whether or not the learner has mastered a learning element corresponding to the test by comparing the test score with the threshold based on the performance information and the storage unit, The learning element list is displayed in a different manner depending on whether the learner has mastered a master block or not, and whether the learner has not mastered the master block. The master block is displayed in an emphasized manner, and whether the learner has to give priority to learning the master block. The output unit outputs a result transition indicating the unit name, the learning element name, the test score, and the threshold value in association with each other, and the learning element list, so as to display the result side by side at the same time. According to this aspect, the learning element list creation device can visualize learning elements that the learner has mastered and learning elements that the learner is weak at and has not mastered, and present them to the user. In other words, the learner's mastery of the learning content can be visualized on a learning element-by-learning element basis. Also, according to this aspect, the learning element list creation device can appropriately determine the mastery of each learning element based on the grade information. Also, according to this aspect, the learning element list creation device can highlight learning elements that the learner should prioritize among unmastered learning elements for each unit and present them to the user. According to this aspect, the learning element list creation device can clearly determine whether or not the learner has mastered a specific learning element based on the result of the confirmation test corresponding to each learning element and the threshold value. According to this aspect, the learning element list and the progress of grades can be output so as to be displayed side by side at the same time, thereby presenting the basis for the determination to the user.

[0007] In one aspect of the learning element list creation device, The priority learning element identification unit analyzes the grade information and calculates one or more of the difficulty of the learning elements and the learner's cognitive ability for the learning elements, thereby identifying the learning elements that the learner should prioritize for each unit. According to this aspect, the learning element list creation device can identify the learning elements that the learner should prioritize for each unit from among multiple learning elements that the learner has not mastered, according to the calculated difficulty of the learning elements and the learner's cognitive ability for the learning elements.

[0009] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, the learning element list displays the learning elements by lighting only the mastered blocks, without lighting the unmastered blocks. According to this aspect, the learning element list creation device displays the learning elements that the learner has mastered by lighting the blocks, not by numbers or numerical values, so that the user can visually grasp the learning elements that he or she has mastered.

[0010] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, the learning element list displays the mastered blocks without lighting up only the unmastered blocks. According to this aspect, the learning element list creation device displays the learning elements that the learner has not mastered by lighting up the blocks rather than by numbers or numerical values, so that the user can visually grasp the learning elements that he or she has not mastered, i.e., the learning elements that he or she is weak at.

[0011] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, the device further includes a mastery time acquisition unit that acquires the time it takes for the learner to master the learning element from when he or she starts studying the learning element as a mastery time, and the learning element list is displayed in three dimensions, with the blocks arranged three-dimensionally, and the mastery time is displayed as the height of the mastery block. According to this aspect, the user can check the mastery level of each learning element and visually grasp the mastery time.

[0012] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, before The learning element list has one or more unit boxes corresponding to each unit, and the unit boxes have one or more blocks indicating the learning elements included in the corresponding unit. According to this aspect, the learning element list displays the degree of mastery of the learning elements using blocks for each unit, so that the user can visually grasp the degree of mastery of the learning elements included in each unit.

[0013] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, the blocks in the unit box are arranged based on the difficulty level of the learning elements. According to this aspect, the user can visually grasp not only the mastery level of each learning element but also the difficulty level of each learning element based on the arrangement of the blocks in the unit box.

[0014] In another aspect of the learning element list creation device, the unit boxes in the learning element list are arranged based on the time when the units were studied. According to this aspect, the user can check the degree to which the learning elements of each unit have been mastered, while being aware of the time when the learning elements were studied, by checking the arrangement of the unit boxes in the learning element list.

[0016] Another aspect of the present invention is a learning element list creation method executed by a learning element list creation device, which creates, for each learner, a learning element list in which one or more blocks indicating each learning element obtained by subdividing learning content for each unit are arranged and which indicates the level of mastery of the learning content targeted by the learning elements, performs output processing to output the learning element list, obtains performance information related to the performance of the learner, and performs a determination processing to determine whether the learner has mastered the learning element based on the performance information, and identifies, for each unit, a learning element that should be studied with priority from among a plurality of learning elements that the learner has not mastered by analyzing the performance information, the learning element list creation device includes a memory unit that stores the learning elements in association with tests and thresholds for confirming a degree of mastery of the learning elements, the performance information including information regarding the scores of the tests given by the learner, and the determination process compares the test scores with the thresholds based on the performance information and the memory unit to determine whether the learner has mastered the learning element corresponding to the test; The learning element list is displayed in a different manner depending on whether the learner has mastered a master block or not, and whether the learner has not mastered the master block. The master block is displayed in an emphasized manner, and whether the learner has to give priority to learning the master block. The output process outputs a display of the progress of grades, which shows the unit name, the learning element name, the test score, and the threshold value in association with each other, and the learning element list, at the same time. By executing this learning element list creation method, the learning element list creation device can visualize and present to the user the learning elements that the learner has mastered and the learning elements that the learner is weak at and has not mastered. Furthermore, by executing this learning element list creation method, the learning element list creation device can appropriately determine the mastery level of each learning element based on the grade information, and can highlight and present to the user, for each unit, the learning elements that the learner should prioritize among the unmastered learning elements. In addition, by executing this learning element list creation method, the learning element list creation device can clearly determine whether or not a learner has mastered a specified learning element based on the results of the confirmation test corresponding to each learning element and a threshold value, and can present the basis for the determination to the user by outputting the learning element list and grade progress displayed side by side at the same time.

[0017] Yet another aspect of the present invention is a program having a computer and executed by a learning element list creation device, the program including: a creation unit that creates, for each learner, a learning element list in which one or more blocks indicating each learning element obtained by subdividing learning content for each unit are arranged, and which indicates the level of mastery of the learning content targeted by the learning elements; an output unit that outputs the learning element list; a grade information acquisition unit that acquires grade information related to the grades of the learner; a determination unit that determines whether the learner has mastered the learning element based on the grade information; and a priority learning element identification unit that analyzes the grade information to identify, for each unit, a learning element that should be preferentially studied from among a plurality of learning elements that the learner has not mastered. The computer is made to function as a memory unit that stores the learning elements in association with tests and thresholds for confirming a degree of mastery of the learning elements, the performance information including information regarding the scores of the test by the learner, and the judgment unit compares the test scores with the thresholds based on the performance information and the memory unit to judge whether the learner has mastered the learning element corresponding to the test, The learning element list is displayed in a different manner depending on whether the learner has mastered a master block or not, and whether the learner has not mastered the master block. The master block is displayed in an emphasized manner, and whether the learner has to give priority to learning the master block. The output unit outputs a result transition indicating the unit name, the learning element name, the test score, and the threshold value in association with each other, and the learning element list, so as to display the result side by side at the same time. By installing this program in a computer and executing it, the learning element list creation device according to the present invention can be configured. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the learning element list creation device of the present invention, it is possible to visualize a learner's level of mastery of learning content. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] [Figure 1] 1 shows a configuration of a learning element list creation system according to an embodiment. [Diagram 2] 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of a management server. [Diagram 3] 13 is an example of a data configuration of a learning element DB. [Figure 4] 1 is an example of a learning element list. [Diagram 5] 13 is an example of a skill confirmation screen. [Figure 6] 13 is a flowchart of a learning element list creation process. [Figure 7]13 is an example of a learning element list according to a first modified example. [Figure 8] 13 is an example of a learning element list displayed in 3D according to a second modified example. [Figure 9] 13 shows the configuration of a learning element list creation system according to a third modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. <Embodiment> [Overall configuration] 1 shows the configuration of a learning element list creation system to which the learning element list creation device of the present invention is applied. The learning element list creation system 100 is configured so that a plurality of terminal devices 10 and a management server 20 can communicate with each other via a network 5.

[0021] The terminal device 10 is used by users such as learners and learning supporters, and is, for example, a desktop PC, a laptop PC, a tablet PC, etc. The terminal device 10 is equipped with a display unit such as a liquid crystal display, and is used to output a learning element list that displays the mastery of the learning content of each learner. The mastery is information indicating whether the student has understood and mastered the learning content to a predetermined level or higher.

[0022] In this embodiment, the learners are students and the learning assistants are teachers, but the present invention is not limited to this and the learning assistants can be set arbitrarily, for example, to include developers of textbooks and teaching materials.

[0023] Specifically, the learning element list is arranged with multiple blocks that indicate learning elements that subdivide the learning content, and the blocks indicate the learner's level of proficiency in each learning element. Here, learning elements are learning contents and textbook explanations that are subdivided at an optimal level based on learning groups such as units, for purposes such as linking textbooks and teaching materials, understanding learning progress, and creating teaching plans. Also, a unit is a group of learning activities centered on a specific theme, and is set for each subject such as "Japanese" and "Mathematics," and is composed of one or more learning elements.

[0024] By outputting the learning element list from the terminal device 10, the teacher can grasp the proficiency of each student for each learning element, and can improve the teaching method. Also, the students can recognize their own proficiency of the learning contents for each learning element, and can study efficiently.

[0025] The management server 20 is connected to a learning element database (hereinafter, "database" will be abbreviated as "DB") 31, a student DB 32, a test DB 33, and a grade DB 34, and creates a learning element list and a mastery confirmation screen including the learning element list in response to a screen request from the terminal device 10. Then, the management server 20 transmits the mastery confirmation screen to the terminal device 10 used by the user. This enables the terminal device 10 to display the mastery confirmation screen including the learning element list on the display unit and to print the learning element list.

[0026] The communication between the management server 20 and the terminal device 10 via the network 5 may be wired or wireless.

[0027] [Administration Server Configuration] 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of management server 20. Management server 20 includes a communication unit 21, a grade information acquisition unit 22, a judgment unit 23, a learning element list creation unit 24, and a mastery screen creation unit 25. These components, a learning element DB 31, a student DB 32, a test DB 33, and a grade DB 34 are interconnected via a bus 29.

[0028] The communication unit 21 is a communication unit for communicating with the terminal device 10 through the network 5. Specifically, the communication unit 21 receives a screen request from the terminal device 10 used by the user and transmits the created proficiency confirmation screen to the terminal device 10.

[0029] The learning element DB31 stores information about learning elements. FIG. 3 is an example of a data structure of the learning element DB31. As shown in the figure, the learning element DB31 stores information such as a learning element ID, a learning element name, a unit ID, a unit name, a subject name, and a learning period. The learning element ID is identification information of the learning element. The learning element name is information indicating the learning content targeted by the learning element, such as "even numbers, odd numbers" or "multiples". The unit ID is identification information of the unit. The unit name is the name of the unit, such as "numbers and calculations" or "figures". The subject name is the name of the subject, such as "Japanese", "arithmetic", "science", "social studies", and "English". The learning period is information indicating the time when the learning content targeted by the learning element is studied for each unit, such as the grade, semester, and schedule and order of study.

[0030] The number of learning elements constituting a unit and the learning contents are set in advance. In addition, in this embodiment, the learning period includes information on the schedule for learning, and the unit that the student is currently studying can be known by referring to the learning period, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is sufficient if the order in which the students study can be known by unit.

[0031] The student DB 32 stores information about students. Specifically, the student DB 32 stores student information such as a student ID, which is identification information of the student, the student's name, grade, class, number, etc.

[0032] The test DB33 stores test information such as a test ID, a learning element ID of a learning element linked to the test, and a passing score. The passing score is a threshold value for judging whether or not a student has mastered the learning content targeted by the learning element to a predetermined level or higher. Note that "mastering the learning content targeted by the learning element to a predetermined level or higher" is also called "mastering the learning element."

[0033] The grade DB 34 stores information about the grades of each student. Specifically, the grade DB 34 stores grade information such as the student ID, the test ID of the test conducted, the student's score, and proficiency. The proficiency here is information indicating whether or not the student has mastered the learning element linked to the test indicated by the test ID. The grade DB 34 is updated when the grading of the test conducted by the student is completed and the student's score is confirmed.

[0034] The grade information acquiring unit 22 acquires the grade information of the student when the grade DB 34 is updated. Specifically, the grade information includes the student ID, the test ID of the updated test, and the student's score.

[0035] The judgment unit 23 judges whether the student has mastered the learning element based on the grade information. Specifically, the judgment unit 23 refers to the test DB 33 and identifies the learning element ID linked to the test ID included in the grade information and the pass score. The judgment unit 23 then compares the student's score included in the grade information with the identified pass score, and if the score is equal to or higher than the pass score, judges that the student has mastered the learning element indicated by the identified learning element ID. On the other hand, the judgment unit 23 compares the student's score with the pass score, and if the score is less than the pass score, judges that the student has not mastered the learning element. The judgment unit 23 updates the proficiency in the grade DB 34 based on the judgment result.

[0036] In this embodiment, one learning element is linked to each test, and the judgment unit 23 judges that the student has mastered the learning element if the student's score is equal to or exceeds the pass mark at least once. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the method of proficiency judgment for judging whether the student has mastered the learning element can be set arbitrarily. For example, one learning element may be linked to multiple tests, and the student may be judged to have mastered the learning element if the student's score exceeds the pass mark multiple times. Also, the learning element may be linked to questions constituting the test, rather than the test, and the mastery judgment may be made based on the score of the question. Furthermore, the mastery judgment may be made based on the correct answer rate, the deviation value, the IRT (Item Response Theory) analysis described later, and the like, in addition to the test score. In other words, the judgment unit 23 judges whether the student has mastered the learning element based on some index related to the student's grade and a threshold value.

[0037] The learning element list creation unit 24 creates a learning element list when a screen request is received from the terminal device 10. The user uses the terminal device 10 to transmit a screen request including the student ID of a student whose mastery of learning content is to be confirmed to the management server 20. The learning element list creation unit 24 creates a learning element list of the student based on the screen request.

[0038] Here, the learning element list will be described. FIG. 4 is an example of a learning element list. In the learning element list, one or more unit boxes corresponding to each unit of a given subject are arranged. For example, as shown in the figure, the learning element list has a unit box 41 indicating "numbers and calculations", a unit box 42 indicating "shapes", a unit box 43 indicating "substances around us", and a unit box 44 indicating "phenomena around us". The unit boxes 41 and 42 correspond to the unit of the subject "arithmetic", and the unit boxes 43 and 44 correspond to the subject "science".

[0039] In this embodiment, the learning element list allows the student to check the mastery of two units in one subject, and the two units are the unit the student is currently studying and the unit immediately before that. The subjects are assumed to be "arithmetic" and "science."

[0040] The unit boxes in the learning element list may be arranged based on the learning time of the corresponding unit. For example, as shown in the figure, the unit box 41 that was learned the earliest may be arranged on the left, and the unit boxes that were learned later may be arranged to the right based on the learning time. The learning elements in the unit boxes may also be arranged in the order of learning.

[0041] In the unit box, one or more blocks indicating learning elements included in the corresponding unit are arranged. In the example of FIG. 4, 18 blocks indicating learning elements included in the unit "Numbers and Calculations" are arranged in the unit box 41. One block represents one learning element, and for example, the block 45 represents a learning element indicated by the learning element ID "M51101". That is, in the unit box 41, 18 blocks indicating all learning elements (learning element IDs "M51101" to "M51118") included in the unit with the unit name "Numbers and Calculations" are arranged. Similarly, in the unit box 42, 18 blocks indicating all learning elements included in the unit "Shapes" are arranged. In addition, in the unit box 43, 18 blocks indicating all learning elements included in the unit "Substances around us" are arranged, and in the unit box 44, 18 blocks indicating all learning elements included in the unit "Phenomena around us" are arranged.

[0042] In the illustrated example, for the sake of convenience, 18 blocks representing learning elements are arranged in each unit box, but in reality, each unit box has as many blocks as the number of learning elements included in the corresponding unit. Therefore, the number of blocks included in each unit box is not necessarily the same.

[0043] In addition, the blocks in the unit box may be arranged based on the difficulty of the learning elements. Specifically, the learning element DB 31 may store the difficulty of each learning element, and the blocks indicated by the learning elements with low difficulty may be arranged at the bottom, and the blocks indicated by the learning elements with high difficulty may be arranged at the top.

[0044] Among the blocks arranged in the unit box, the blocks showing the learning elements that the student has mastered are called mastered blocks. On the other hand, the blocks showing the learning elements that the student has not mastered are called unmastered blocks. In this embodiment, the learning element list displays the mastered blocks while not lighting the unmastered blocks. For example, in the illustrated unit box 42, the 14 lit blocks are mastered blocks, and the four unlit blocks shown by the dashed lines are unmastered blocks. In addition, in the unit box 43, all 18 blocks are lit. That is, all 18 are mastered blocks. This shows that the student has mastered all the learning elements included in the unit "Substances around us". On the other hand, in the unit box 44, all the blocks are turned off, and none of them are lit. That is, all 18 are unmastered blocks. This shows that the student has not yet mastered any of the learning elements included in the unit "Phenomena around us". In this way, the learning element list allows the user to grasp at a glance how well a student has mastered the learning elements included in a given unit.

[0045] Specifically, the learning element list creation unit 24 extracts the student ID from the screen request received from the terminal device 10, and identifies the student's name, grade, and class by referring to the student DB 32. The learning element list creation unit 24 also refers to the learning period in the learning element DB 31 to identify the unit the student is currently studying, the learning elements included in that unit, and the previous unit and the learning elements included in that unit, for each of the subjects of "arithmetic" and "science." The learning element list creation unit 24 then arranges unit boxes and blocks based on the identified unit and learning elements. Furthermore, the learning element list creation unit 24 refers to the grade DB 34, and creates a learning element list based on the student's level of proficiency in each learning element, so that among the arranged blocks, unmastered blocks are not lit and mastered blocks are lit.

[0046] The mastery check screen creating unit 25 creates a mastery check screen including the learning element list created by the learning element list creating unit 24, and transmits the screen to the terminal device 10 that made the screen request.

[0047] Here, the proficiency confirmation screen will be described. FIG. 5 is an example of the proficiency confirmation screen. As shown in the figure, the proficiency confirmation screen includes a student item 51, a learning element list 52, a grade transition item 53, and a print button 54. The student item 51 is the student's grade, class, number, and name. The learning element list 52 displays the student's proficiency for each learning element as described above. The grade transition item 53 includes the subject name, unit name, and learning element name for which the proficiency is displayed in the learning element list 52, the passing score of the test linked to the learning element, and the student's score. The print button 54 is a button that prints the learning element list 52 when pressed.

[0048] The user can visually grasp the degree to which the student has mastered the learning elements included in each unit by using the learning element list 52 on the mastery confirmation screen. In addition, the user can check the details of the learning elements for which the mastery is displayed in the learning element list 52 by using the grade transition item 53.

[0049] In this embodiment, the proficiency confirmation screen includes a student item 51, a learning element list 52, a grade progress item 53, and a print button 54, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the screen configuration can be set arbitrarily as long as it includes information that identifies the student and a learning element list.

[0050] In the above configuration, the communication unit 21 of the management server 20 is an example of an output unit of the present invention. The performance information acquisition unit 22, the judgment unit 23, the learning element list creation unit 24, and the mastery confirmation screen creation unit 25 of the management server 20 are examples of a performance information acquisition unit, a judgment unit, a creation unit, and an output unit of the present invention, respectively. The test DB 33 is an example of a storage unit of the present invention.

[0051] [Learning element list creation process] 6 is a flowchart of the learning element list creation process according to this embodiment. This process creates and outputs a learning element list that displays the proficiency of learning elements for each student. Specifically, this process is realized by the computer constituting the management server 20 executing a program prepared in advance.

[0052] When the grade DB 34 is updated, the management server 20 acquires the grade information of the student (step S11). Then, the management server 20 refers to the test DB 33 and identifies the learning element ID and the pass score associated with the test ID included in the grade information (step S12). Furthermore, the management server 20 compares the student's score included in the grade information with the identified pass score, and determines whether the score is equal to or higher than the pass score (step S13).

[0053] If the student's score is equal to or higher than the pass mark (step S13; Yes), the management server 20 determines that the student has mastered the learning element. On the other hand, if the student's score is less than the pass mark (step S13; No), the management server 20 determines that the student has not mastered the learning element. Then, the management server 20 updates the mastery level in the grade DB 34 based on the determination result (step S16).

[0054] Next, the management server 20 judges whether or not a screen request has been received from the terminal device 10 (step S17). If a screen request has not been received (step S17; No), the management server 20 waits until a screen request is received. When a user wants to check the mastery of a particular student in the learning content, the user uses the terminal device 10 to send a screen request including the student ID of the student to the management server 20.

[0055] When the management server 20 receives a screen request from the terminal device 10 (step S17; Yes), it extracts the student ID included in the screen request and creates a learning element list for the student identified by the student ID (step S18). Specifically, the management server 20 refers to the student DB 32 to identify the name, grade, and class of the student. In addition, the management server 20 refers to the learning period in the learning element DB 31 to identify the unit the student is currently studying and the learning elements included in that unit, and the previous unit and the learning elements included in that unit, for each of the subjects of "arithmetic" and "science." Then, the management server 20 arranges unit boxes and blocks based on the identified unit and learning elements. Furthermore, the management server 20 refers to the grade DB 34 and creates a learning element list based on the student's proficiency in each learning element, so that among the arranged blocks, unmastered blocks are not lit and mastered blocks are lit.

[0056] The management server 20 creates a mastery confirmation screen including the created learning element list, and transmits it to the terminal device 10 that made the screen request (step S19). The terminal device 10 can output the received mastery confirmation screen by displaying it on the display unit or printing the learning element list. This ends the learning element list creation process.

[0057] In this embodiment, the management server 20 creates the learning element list and the proficiency confirmation screen when a screen request is received from the terminal device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the learning element list and the proficiency confirmation screen may be created when the performance DB 34 is updated regardless of whether a screen request is received. In other words, the timing when the management server 20 creates the learning element list and the proficiency confirmation screen can be set arbitrarily.

[0058] In this embodiment, the learning element list is configured to allow the student to check the proficiency of the unit currently being studied and the unit immediately before for "arithmetic" and "science," but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the user may be able to set the subject or unit for which the proficiency can be checked by including the unit ID of the unit for which the user wants to check the proficiency in the screen request. In other words, the subjects and units in the learning element list can be set arbitrarily.

[0059] In this way, according to the learning element list of the present invention, the learning elements that the student has mastered and the learning elements that the student is not good at and has not mastered can be visualized and presented to the user. In other words, the student's mastery of the learning content can be visualized on a learning element basis. Specifically, the student's mastery of the learning content is displayed by the lighting or extinguishing of blocks rather than by numbers or numerical values, which has the advantage that the user can grasp the mastery at a glance. In other words, the user can visually grasp the overall picture of the learning elements included in the unit, the learning elements that the student has mastered, and the learning elements that the student has not yet mastered, so that the user can quickly recognize the student's mastery rate and achievement level as a sense rather than a number or numerical value.

[0060] Furthermore, by managing students' levels of proficiency in the learning content in a learning element list, they can visually grasp the difficulty of the learning elements through the arrangement of the blocks and check their level of proficiency. Teachers can grasp each student's level of proficiency in each learning element, and can improve their teaching methods for unmastered learning elements. If the learning supporter is a learning materials developer, they can develop new teaching materials for learning content that targets learning elements that are largely unmastered. Furthermore, students can study more efficiently by recognizing their own level of proficiency in each learning element.

[0061] Learning elements are not units of learning content that are uniquely subdivided by specific textbook manufacturers, but are standard units of learning content used by all textbook and teaching material manufacturers. Therefore, by managing and sharing students' mastery of the learning content in a learning element list, it is possible to share learning analysis across all Tokyo Metropolitan schools.

[0062] <Modification> (First Modification) In the above embodiment, the learning element list displays the mastered blocks while not lighting up the unmastered blocks. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any display method can be applied as long as the mastered blocks and the unmastered blocks can be visually distinguished from each other. FIG. 7 is an example of a learning element list according to the first modified example. As shown in the figure, the learning element list may display the mastered blocks while not lighting up the unmastered blocks.

[0063] Furthermore, the management server 20 may analyze the grade information of the students to identify the learning elements that should be studied with priority for each unit, and create a learning element list so that the blocks indicating the identified learning elements are highlighted. The management server 20 may also set in advance the learning elements that should be tackled first for each unit, and create a learning element list so that the blocks indicating the set learning elements are highlighted.

[0064] Here, IRT analysis and LRT (Latent Rank Theory) analysis are applied to the analysis of the grade information. IRT analysis is a test theory for measuring the characteristics (cognitive ability, knowledge, etc.) of subjects and the difficulty of the evaluation items based on responses to a group of evaluation items. LRT analysis is an IRT analysis in which latent characteristics are on an ordinal scale, and is a test theory that can perform stepwise and sequential evaluation. According to IRT analysis and LRT analysis, for example, it is possible to use answer data of a student who has taken a test to calculate the difficulty of the learning elements linked to the test and the student's cognitive ability with respect to the learning elements. Based on the analysis result of the student's grade information, the management server 20 can identify the learning elements that the student should study with priority for each unit.

[0065] For example, as shown in Fig. 7, in the unit box 42 showing "Shapes," four unmastered blocks are lit, in which case block 48 showing the learning element that should be studied first among the unmastered blocks is highlighted and flashes. Also, in the unit box 44 showing "Everyday Phenomena," there are no mastered blocks, and all the arranged blocks are lit as unmastered blocks, but in this case block 49 showing the learning element that should be tackled first in the unit is highlighted and flashes.

[0066] According to this, by using IRT analysis and LRT analysis, it is possible to highlight and present to the user the learning elements that should be prioritized, even among the learning elements that have not yet been mastered. Therefore, by checking the learning element list, teachers can easily recognize which learning element students should start with, and can encourage efficient learning. Similarly, students can study efficiently by checking the learning element list.

[0067] (Second Modification) In the above embodiment and the first modified example, the learning element list is composed of planar blocks. Alternatively, the learning element list may be displayed in 3D (3-dimensional) and composed of three-dimensional blocks. FIG. 8 is an example of a learning element list displayed in 3D according to the second modified example. As shown in the figure, the learning element list displayed in 3D has a unit box 61 indicating "numbers and calculations", a unit box 62 indicating "shapes", a unit box 63 indicating "materials around us", and a unit box 64 indicating "phenomena around us" arranged in the same manner as in the embodiment. For example, a block 66 is a mastery block indicating a learning element included in the unit "numbers and calculations", and the learning time of the learning element may be displayed by the numerical value in the direction of an arrow 67, i.e., the height of the mastery block.

[0068] In this case, the management server 20 includes a mastery time acquisition unit, and acquires the time it takes for a student to master the learning content targeted by the learning element from when he or she starts learning the learning content. The management server 20 then creates a learning element list that displays the mastery time as the height of the mastery block in a 3D display. The mastery time acquisition unit of the management server 20 is an example of the mastery time acquisition unit of the present invention.

[0069] In this modification, similarly to the first modification, the management server 20 may analyze the grade information of the students to identify, for each unit, learning elements that should be studied with priority among unmastered learning elements, and create a learning element list so as to highlight and display blocks indicating the identified learning elements. The management server 20 may also set, for each unit, a learning element that should be tackled first, and create a learning element list so as to highlight and display blocks indicating the set learning elements.

[0070] For example, in the unit box 62 showing "Shapes," there are four unmastered blocks, and in this case, block 68 showing the learning element that should be studied first among the unmastered blocks is highlighted and flashes. Also, in the unit box 64 showing "Everyday Phenomena," there are no mastered blocks, and all the blocks placed are unmastered blocks, but in this case, block 69 showing the learning element that should be tackled first in the unit is highlighted and flashes.

[0071] In this way, the 3D display of the learning element list allows the user to check the degree of mastery of each learning element and visually grasp the time it took to master it. Since it is presumed that learning elements that take a long time to master are learning contents that the student is weak at and learning elements that take a short time to master are learning contents that the student is strong at, the 3D display of the learning element list makes it possible to visualize the learning elements that the student is strong or weak at.

[0072] (Third Modification) In the above embodiment, the first modification, and the second modification, the teacher uses the terminal device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the teacher may use a teacher terminal having the functions of the management server 20. In this case, the terminal device 10 is used by a student, a teaching material developer, or the like. The teacher terminal is, like the terminal device 10, for example, a desktop PC, a laptop PC, a tablet PC, or the like.

[0073] FIG. 9 shows an example of the configuration of the learning element list creation system 200 in this case. As shown in the figure, the learning element list creation system 200 is configured to enable communication between a plurality of terminal devices 10 and a teacher terminal 80 via a network 5. A learning element DB 91, a student DB 92, a test DB 93, and a grade DB 94 are connected to the teacher terminal 80, and the teacher terminal 80 can create a learning element list by executing the processes (corresponding to steps S11 to S19 in FIG. 6) that the management server 20 performed. In addition, the teacher terminal 80 can perform outputs such as displaying a mastery confirmation screen, printing a learning element list, and transmitting a mastery confirmation screen to the terminal device 10. In this case, the teacher terminal 80 is an example of a learning element list creation device of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
