Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a teaching plan support system and a teaching plan support program. More specifically, the present invention relates to a teaching plan support system that links teaching plan information related to schedules of school events such as athletic meets held in elementary and junior high schools and schedules of lessons for one week with an existing calendar app, and enables viewing on a smartphone or the like, and a teaching plan support program that enables the teaching plan support system to be executed using a terminal such as a computer. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, in elementary schools and junior high schools, in order to ensure that the number of annual class hours (also called "standard hours") for each subject is met as specified in the curriculum guidelines, annual teaching plans are drawn up for each grade and subject before the start of the school year, and these are compiled in a table format to create an annual teaching schedule. By creating such an annual teaching schedule, it is possible to grasp the outline of the learning instruction for the year from April at the beginning of the school year to March at the end of the following school year, and to ensure that classes are conducted in a way that ensures that the standard hours are met.

[0003] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned lessons, the annual lesson plan includes event schedules for various school events such as athletic meets and cultural festivals. Based on these annual lesson plans, weekly lesson plans are created that plan more specific learning unit content, lesson implementation schedules, and other learning instruction. Weekly lesson plans are sometimes called "weekly plans" or "weekly plan books." Furthermore, monthly lesson plans are sometimes created between the annual lesson plan and the weekly lesson plan.

[0004] A teaching plan management device (see Patent Document 1) for creating and formulating annual teaching plans that facilitates the planning and creation of the above-mentioned annual teaching plans, reduces the workload of teachers who create them, and ensures that consistency checks such as surpluses and deficiencies in standard hours that accompany updates to weekly teaching plans are performed, and a lesson plan creation support system and lesson plan creation support program (see Patent Document 2) that support the creation of lesson plans have already been proposed. By using these devices and systems, the work of creating annual teaching plans, etc., which was previously done mainly manually, can be automated to a certain extent, and in particular, the work time required for checking consistency such as standard hours can be significantly shortened.

[0005] The above-mentioned "teaching plan management device" or "lesson planning support system" is provided as software with a single function, and is also provided as a function of a grade management system and a grade management program that has the function of managing students' grades and scores and creating report cards. As described above, the annual teaching plan and the weekly teaching plan are closely related to each other, and newly entered or updated data in the annual teaching plan can be stored in association with the weekly teaching plan. This allows changes made to a part of the annual teaching plan to be reflected in the weekly teaching plan almost in real time, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter data for each plan, and allowing a correction to one part to be updated to the entire learning plan. This makes it easier to plan and create learning plans in elementary schools, junior high schools, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-192052 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2016-048519 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the following problems have sometimes occurred in support of learning plans using a teaching plan management device, a lesson plan creation support system, etc. Annual teaching plans and weekly teaching plans created by these devices, etc., are mainly used to grasp the progress of learning and check whether the standard number of hours is excessive or insufficient, as described above, and are sometimes treated as confidential information for outside the school. Therefore, teaching plan information related to learning plans such as annual teaching plans can only be viewed by school officials such as the principal and vice principal, who are school administrators, and teachers in charge, after taking security measures, etc., and is not created on the premise of being made public to students and parents.

[0008] On the other hand, it was necessary to notify children and their parents of the schedule of school events throughout the year and the schedule of upcoming classes in advance in the form of a schedule, etc. However, since the annual teaching plan, etc. created by the teaching plan management device, etc. are not intended to be made public as described above, teachers have to create new schedules for children or parents based on the annual or weekly teaching plan and distribute them as printouts on paper media. Therefore, in addition to creating the annual teaching plan, teachers have to create schedules for children, etc., which can be a burden, and there have been many calls for a reduction in the labor required for creating these schedules.

[0009] In addition to creating the schedule, it has traditionally been customary for teachers to write the schedule for the next day's lessons and necessary items on the board, and for students to copy them into their own notebooks. However, in this case, there is a possibility that students may make mistakes when copying, and students may pass on incorrect information to their parents, making it impossible to convey accurate information. Furthermore, it cannot be denied that teachers themselves may forget to convey information because they are busy. This leads to many students forgetting things, which can disrupt the progress of lessons, and there has been a demand for a system that can reliably communicate accurate lesson schedules to students and parents.

[0010] Meanwhile, in recent years, with the development of information and communication device terminals and advances in communication technology, schedule management software (hereinafter referred to as "calendar application") equipped with a calendar function that enables users to input and manage work and personal schedules for the year, month, week, etc. has become widely used as software (application) for personal computers, mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet terminals.

[0011] In addition, some of these calendar apps have a calendar linking function that automatically reflects reservation dates and times and reservation details in the calendar app by linking the user's schedule with the calendar app based on the contents of airline ticket reservation sites, accommodation reservation sites, or emails sent to the user from the reservation sites.

[0012] Therefore, compared to the conventional method of managing plans by handwriting a schedule in a notebook, the necessary information can be input accurately and quickly, and the contents of the plan can be notified to the user when the scheduled date and time approaches, which is convenient for the user. However, in the field of education, information on the annual teaching plan table, etc., created and edited by the teaching plan management device, etc., has not been linked to a calendar app in the past.

[0013] In view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention has an objective of providing a teaching plan support system and a teaching plan support program that convert teaching plan information regarding created event schedules and weekly teaching schedules into a format that can be read by a calendar app, and enables integration to reflect the content in the calendar app. [Means for solving the problem]

[0025] Hereinafter, a teaching plan support system and a teaching plan support program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the support system and support program of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiment, and those skilled in the art may appropriately change, modify, and improve the following embodiment based on their ordinary knowledge without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a teaching plan support system 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "support system 1") of one embodiment of the present invention has the teaching plan support program PG (hereinafter simply referred to as "support program PG") of the present invention installed, and by starting the support program PG, various information related to lessons (contents of subjects and learning units) and the like, or scheduled school events, contained in the created weekly teaching plan table 3 and event schedule table 4 is linked to a commonly used calendar application CA and reflected in the displayed calendar.

[0027] Here, Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the general configuration of the support system 1 of this embodiment and the functional configuration of the editing terminal 2 on which the support program PG is installed, Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen display of a weekly teaching plan 3, Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen display of an event schedule 4, Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the correspondence between timetable data 7 and school schedule data 8, Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen display of a calendar linkage screen 9 for operations related to linkage processing with a calendar application CA, and Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen display of a calendar display screen 35 (corresponding to the calendar in this invention) displayed by the calendar application CA.

[0028] To explain the editing terminal 2 in the support system 1 of this embodiment in more detail, its functional configuration mainly includes a teaching plan information creation means 10, a terminal storage means 11, a link target receiving means 12, a pre-conversion link information extraction means 13, a real-time conversion means 14, and a link information transmission means 15. Furthermore, the editing terminal 2 includes, as other functional configurations, a calendar identification information confirmation means 16, a deletion instruction transmission means 17, a link information retransmission means 18, a logoff detection means 19, and a link processing start means 20. By including these functional configurations in the editing terminal 2, it is possible to cause the editing terminal 2 to perform various functions based on the respective functions and means. Each means will be described in detail below.

[0029] The terminal storage means 11 is composed of fixed storage means such as a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, etc. Note that a plurality of educational information comprehensive management software MPGs useful in the field of learning instruction, such as a test score tallying function, a grade management function, a report card creation function, and a timetable creation function distributed by a teaching material publishing company, etc., are installed in the terminal storage means 11, and the linking processing function by the support program PG for supporting the planning of learning instruction in this embodiment can be installed in the editing terminal 2 as one function of the educational information comprehensive management software.

[0030] By performing a predetermined operation (e.g., clicking a mouse) while the educational information general management software MPG is running, the support program PG of the present invention can be started and executed, and the editing terminal 2 can function as the support system 1. The educational information general management software MPG is well known and a detailed description will be omitted. Here, the terminal storage means 11 can store and keep various information and data such as the teaching plan information 21 created and edited by the teaching plan information creation means 10, and one or more school timetable data 8 that correspond to the timetable data 7 included in the teaching plan information 21 and can be converted into real time.

[0031] Here, the editing terminal 2 is connected to a well-known display device for displaying the contents of the weekly teaching plan table 3 and the event schedule table 4 based on the created and edited teaching plan information 21. In the support system 1 of this embodiment, a liquid crystal display LCD is used as the display device, and is connected to a terminal display control means 22 that controls various display signals sent from the editing terminal 2 (see FIG. 1).

[0032] Furthermore, the editing terminal 2 is capable of transmitting and receiving various information and the like via a communication network N (corresponding to the electric communication line in the present invention) such as the Internet or a dedicated line, and is capable of connecting to an application management server 5 disposed in an application management company AP that creates, provides, and manages an external calendar application CA, as shown in Fig. 1, and transmitting link information 6 described below. Note that the application management server 5 and the terminal storage means 11 and the like in the editing terminal 2 may be provided in, for example, a virtual server or a cloud server constructed on the communication network N. Note that the communication network N is connected to a terminal communication control means 23.

[0033] The editing terminal 2 used in the support system 1 of this embodiment is mainly assumed to be a desktop or notebook-type personal computer that is used daily by teachers and staff at elementary and junior high schools. However, the editing terminal 2 is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a tablet terminal or a smartphone. Since the configurations of information and communication devices such as personal computers, tablet terminals, and smartphones are already well known, detailed explanations are omitted here. Also, well-known operation input means (keyboard, mouse, touch panel, etc.) for performing various operations on the editing terminal 2 and inputting information, etc. are connected to the editing terminal 2. In addition, the support system 1 of this embodiment shows that an operation input device ID is connected to the terminal input control means 24 of the editing terminal 2 as a collective term for these operation input means (see FIG. 1).

[0034] A specific example of the linking process between the editing terminal 2 and the calendar application CA in the support system 1 of this embodiment will be described below. Here, the weekly lesson plan 3 and the event schedule 4 are created and edited in advance by the lesson plan information creating means 10 of the editing terminal 2 using the weekly editing function WE and the event schedule editing function YE. This makes it possible to create lesson plan information 21 using the weekly lesson plan 3 and the event schedule 4, and the lesson plan information 21 is stored in the terminal storage means 11 described above. Note that the details of creating and editing the weekly lesson plan 3 and the like are well known, so a detailed description will be omitted here.

[0035] The created teaching plan information 21 includes timetable data 7 related to the implementation timetable indicating in which period the teaching plan is to be implemented, together with the assignment of teaching plans such as subjects and school days. More specifically, the timetable data 7 relates to the implementation timetable of subjects and plans for teaching such as "first period (first period)" and "second period (second period)" in elementary and junior high schools. For example, in the case of elementary and junior high schools, the length of one period is assigned as 45 minutes, and a break of about 10 minutes is provided between the first and second periods ("period 1", "period 2", "period 3", etc. in FIG. 2). In other words, the teaching plan of the assigned subject includes timetable data 7 related to which period the subject is assigned, together with the assigned date.

[0036] Here, the weekly teaching plan table 3 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, configured in a tabular form by arranging a weekly time axis TL1 (corresponding to the time axis in this invention) corresponding to one week from Monday to Friday from left to right on one horizontal axis, and a lesson time axis C1 relating to the number of lesson hours per day, including events and morning time (morning assembly), from top to bottom on the remaining other vertical axis.

[0037] Then, an editing process is performed in which the contents of the subjects and learning units to be implemented are input into the intersection frame 25 where the weekly time axis TL1 and the lesson time axis C1 intersect, and these lesson plans are allocated to each timetable in the intersection frame 25. Furthermore, at the bottom of the weekly lesson plan table 3, a weekly summary column 26 is provided for inputting and displaying the goals for the corresponding week (June 14th to June 20th in Fig. 2) and reflections after instruction.

[0038] Furthermore, around the weekly lesson plan 3, there are arranged a number of operation icons 27 for performing operations to switch to various functions in the educational information general management software MPG, such as event schedules (= school events), timetables, and annual lesson plans, and one of these icons is set and displayed as a calendar link icon 28 for linking with the calendar application CA (calendar linkage). Note that the configuration and layout of the weekly lesson plan 3 shown in Fig. 2 are merely examples, and are not limited to these.

[0039] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the event schedule 4 is, for example, an annual time axis TL2 (corresponding to the time axis in the present invention) corresponding to one year (fiscal year) from April to March of the following year arranged from left to right on one horizontal axis, and the number of days DA in the month on the remaining vertical axis, to which a teaching plan such as a scheduled school event (summer vacation, pool opening) is assigned. As shown in FIG. 3, the event schedule 4 displays a part (e.g., three months) from January to December on the annual time axis TL2, and for other institutions, the display period in the annual teaching plan can be changed by operating a slide bar 29 provided at the bottom of the event schedule 4. In the support system 1 of this embodiment, the event schedule 4 includes information on school events, etc., and the function of the information on the implementation schedule of the learning unit is separated from the function of the information.

[0040] Similar to the weekly teaching plan 3, multiple operation icons 27 are arranged around the event schedule 4 to perform operations for switching to various functions in the educational information general management software MPG, such as the event schedule (= school events), timetable, and annual teaching plan, and one of these icons is set and displayed as a calendar link icon 28 for linking with the calendar application CA (calendar linkage). Note that the configuration and layout of the event schedule 4 shown in Fig. 3 are merely examples, and are not limited to these.

[0041] Furthermore, the editing terminal 2 stores and memorizes the created teaching plan information 21 in the terminal storage means 11, and further stores and memorizes school timetable data 8 which corresponds to the timetable data 7 included in the teaching plan information 21 and is used to convert the implemented timetable (1st period, 2nd period, etc.) into a real timetable (real time data 30, described later) which is the actual timetable.

[0042] The school schedule data 8, as shown in FIG. 4, specifically specifies the start and end times of each period (1st period, 2nd period, etc.) and break time between periods (band 1, band 2, etc.) in the timetable data 7. That is, when assigning a lesson plan for a subject, etc., a weekly lesson plan table, etc. is created and edited based on a timetable (1st period, 2nd period, etc.) that is predefined by the school, etc., rather than the actual time. In this timetable, the start time, end time, and lesson time of the first period, as well as the break time (band) until the next period, are not uniformly determined, but often differ from elementary school to elementary school or junior high school. For this reason, it is difficult to specify the actual time in the created lesson plan information 21. In addition, in elementary schools or junior high schools, the timetable may change due to shortened classes, etc., in addition to regular classes, or some school events may be held across multiple periods. Therefore, it is not possible to specify from the contents of the timetable data 7 of the lesson plan information 21 what time in real time the actually assigned lesson plan corresponds to, making it difficult to link with the calendar application CA.

[0043] Therefore, in the support system 1 of this embodiment, the timetable data 7 is converted into real time and school timetable data 8 is stored in advance for converting into a format that can be read or recognized by the calendar application CA.

[0044] This enables linkage with the calendar application CA by converting the timetable data 7 into real-time data based on the school timetable data 8. Furthermore, by registering multiple patterns of school timetable data 8 in advance, it is possible to handle not only regular class timetables, but also shortened classes and other special timetables. It is also possible to edit the contents of the school timetable data 8 as appropriate and create school timetable data 8 that suits the actual situation of elementary and junior high schools, etc.

[0045] When the timetable data 7 is converted into real time based on the school timetable data 8, the converted real time data 30 is created and included as a part of the link information 6.

[0046] The editing terminal 2 is equipped with a linkage target receiving means 12 that receives input of the instruction plan to be linked and the linkage target period included in the instruction plan information 21. Specifically, by placing the cursor 31 on the position of the calendar linkage icon 28 displayed on the display screen (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 3) displaying the above-mentioned weekly instruction plan table 3 or event schedule table 4, and performing a click operation, a calendar linkage screen 9 for performing linkage processing with the calendar application CA as shown in FIG. 5 can be displayed.

[0047] In the support system 1 of this embodiment, the weekly lesson schedule (=weekly plan) based on the weekly teaching plan table 3, or the annual school event schedule based on the event schedule table 4, etc. can be specified as the linkage target on the calendar link screen 9. Furthermore, the linkage target period at this time can be specified for each of "all year", "day", "week", and "month". Such specification is performed by clicking a radio button arranged in front of each period. Note that the calendar link screen 9 in FIG. 5 shows a layout that allows the teaching plan for the weekly plan and school events to be set at the same time, but is not limited to this. Also, only a part of the contents of the teaching plan information 21 can be selected and specified as the range of the linkage target.

[0048] Furthermore, a time limit setting icon 32 is displayed on the above-mentioned calendar link screen 9, and by clicking on the time limit setting icon 32, any one of a plurality of patterns of school timetable data 8 preregistered and corresponding to the above-mentioned timetable data 7 can be selected. Furthermore, on the calendar link screen 9, the timing for starting the linking process with the calendar application CA (manually, at logoff) can also be set. The process of automatically starting linking at logoff will be described in detail later.

[0049] As described above, after specifying the linking target and the linking range such as the linking period on the calendar linking screen 9 and further completing the selection (time limit setting) of the school schedule data 8 for converting the timetable data 7 into real-time data 30, click on the linking process start icon 34 at the bottom of the screen that displays "Register to external calendar." This starts the linking process with the calendar application CA on the editing terminal 2. Here, the timing of the linking process is set to "manual."

[0050] By performing the above operations and processes on the editing terminal 2, pre-conversion linkage information 33 including timetable data 7 is extracted from the lesson plan information 21 stored in the terminal storage means 11 based on the conditions set and specified on the calendar linkage screen 9 (pre-conversion linkage information extraction means 13), the timetable data 7 included in the extracted pre-conversion linkage information 33 is converted into real time for each period based on the specified school schedule data 8, and the linkage information 6 including the converted real time data 30 is transmitted via the communication network N to the application management server 5 installed in the application management company AP that operates the calendar application CA (linkage information transmission means 15).These processes are performed as a series of flows.

[0051] Here, as an example of the real-time conversion means 14, for example, for an item assigned as "1st period: Japanese" in the pre-conversion linked information 33 (lesson plan information 21), real-time data 30 such as "8:45-9:30: Japanese" is configured based on the corresponding school schedule data 8 (see FIG. 4). By carrying out such processing for each assigned lesson plan, linked information 6 including a time recognizable by the calendar application CA and an event (learning content) at that time can be created.

[0052] When the link information 6 is transmitted to the application management server 5, the contents of the link information 6 are reflected in the calendar application CA, and the contents can be viewed on an information communication device such as a smartphone. By allowing all members of the class to access the calendar created by the calendar application CA that sent the linkage information 6, the calendar including the linkage information 6 reflecting the students or guardians can be displayed and viewed, for example, on a calendar display screen 35 as shown in Figure 6.

[0053] This allows teachers and other personnel to simply click on link process start icon 34 on calendar link screen 9 to send and publish lesson schedules based on weekly lesson plan 3 and school event schedules based on event schedule 4 all at once.

[0054] Here, when the transmission of the link information 6 is completed and a calendar reflecting the link information 6 is created on the calendar application CA side, the calendar application CA gives the calendar identification information 36 for identifying and specifying each calendar. The editing terminal 2 in the support system 1 of this embodiment stores the calendar identification information 36 in the terminal storage means 11 in association with the transmitted link information 6. Note that, in this embodiment, the link information 6 is created by combining the teaching plan information 21 related to the weekly teaching plan 3 and the event schedule 4, but this is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to create weekly link information based on the weekly teaching plan 3 or annual link information based on the event schedule 4, and independently link the calendar application CA.

[0055] Furthermore, the editing terminal 2 includes a calendar identification information confirmation means 16 that detects the presence or absence of calendar identification information 36 stored in the terminal storage means 11 when it detects the start of link processing by the link target receiving means 12, that is, when it is about to start a new link processing with the calendar application CA as described above, or when it detects an update of the teaching plan information 21. This allows it to confirm whether or not the link information 6 has already been transmitted (calendar identification information confirmation means 16).

[0056] Then, when the fact that the link information 6 has been transmitted is confirmed by the calendar identification information 36 and the link information 6 is reflected in the calendar application CA, a signal relating to an instruction to delete the transmitted link information 6 is transmitted to the application management server 5 (deletion instruction transmitting means 17). As a result, the calendar application CA is returned to its initial state in which the link information 6 is not reflected.

[0057] In this state, the linking information 6 is created again and resent (linking information resending means 18). This prevents multiple pieces of linking information 6 from being reflected in the calendar application CA in duplicate, and ensures that only the last transmitted, in other words, the latest, linking information 6 is always reflected in the calendar application CA and displayed on the calendar display screen 35.

[0058] In the teaching plan information 21, the lesson contents, timetable, etc. may change due to weather or other circumstances. In that case, if the already transmitted link information 6 remains in the calendar application CA, multiple pieces of information may become mixed up, which may cause confusion. Therefore, before transmitting new link information 6, the presence or absence of already transmitted link information 6 is confirmed based on the calendar identification information 36, and then a deletion process or the like is performed, and the link information 6 is retransmitted so that the latest link information 6 is reflected.

[0059] Furthermore, the editing terminal 2 can set the timing of transmission of the link information 6 to be when the editing terminal 2 logs off, that is, when the editing terminal 2 completes the creation of the teaching plan information 21 using the weekly editing function or the event schedule editing function and ends the support program PG, the link information 6 is created and transmitted. Specifically, in the calendar link screen 9 shown in FIG. 5, by setting the radio button indicating "Automatically link when logging off" in "Link timing" to ON, a logoff operation from the editing terminal 2 is detected (logoff detection means 19), and based on this, the creation and transmission process of the link information 6 is started (linkage process start means 20). By creating the link information 6 at the time of logoff, the link process with the calendar application CA is not forgotten, and the link information 6 is transmitted every time the teaching plan information 21 is updated, so that the latest state is always reflected on the calendar display screen 35.
