Similarly, from the perspective of a student who attends or has recently graduated from a desired school, hearing about the school they attended or have attended is extremely beneficial. However, this is difficult to achieve because each school considers student management and information management to be extremely important. [Solution] The education system of the present invention is characterized by comprising: an education item registration unit that registers school items, school culture items, experiential education items, and education dates and times; an extraction method selection unit that acquires information relating to the selection of at least one of the school culture items and experiential education items and determines the extraction method; an educator extraction unit that compares information relating to school items with information relating to at least one of the school culture items and experiential education items and extracts candidate educators; an educator information selection unit that selects an educator and an education date and time from among the extracted candidate educators; and an education notification unit that notifies information relating to the implementation of education, wherein the implementation of education is an education system in which the educator teaches the learner at least one of the information relating to the school culture unique to each educator and information relating to the educational experience unique to each educator.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an education system, an education method, and an education computer program. [Background Art]

[0002] Education means that children, pupils, or students grow while being taught and nurtured in kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and technical colleges, and further grow while being taught specialized fields and the like in universities and graduate schools.

[0003] In recent years when the online environment has become commonplace, it has become possible to take various classes online, and various online education systems have been developed; for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are known. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2025-155643 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2025-052364 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0005] Patent Document 1 has a limitation in that it is limited to learning related to subjects and units, and is limited to learning quantified by scores. Patent Document 2 has a limitation in that it is limited to the guidance of club activity skills, and is limited to the improvement of skills and abilities.

[0006] With the increasing sophistication of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing demand for greater diversity in education. As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there is a need for holistic education that goes beyond simply improving academic ability and skills, but focuses on developing the individual's character. Against this backdrop, unlike the educational systems disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there is an expectation for the emergence of new educational systems, methods, and computer programs that enable children, students, and pupils to acquire a broader, deeper, and more fundamental range of academic abilities, rather than relying solely on evaluation based on test or examination scores.

[0007] When taking entrance exams for schools, it is preferable to aim for a school that suits one's own personality rather than choosing a school based on the likelihood of passing or academic ranking. While various educational systems are in place around the world, there is still a lack of systematic information disclosure regarding school cultures. Furthermore, although information about each school's culture is discussed in various media such as the internet and magazines, there are aspects that are based on speculation and conjecture, and there are many unknowns for students who are diligently studying to pass the entrance exams and become students of their desired school.

[0008] It is very desirable that information is widely made available through school information sessions and school tours. On the other hand, there is a limitation in that this information is from the perspective of the school or teachers. For example, when elementary school students aiming to take the entrance exam for junior high school decide on their preferred school (especially their first choice), information from the perspective of students who actually attend the school is preferable to information from the perspective of teachers.

[0009] For elementary, middle, and high school students who spend a significant amount of time at school during adolescence, school life has a profound impact on the foundation of their personality. When considering education from this perspective, while achieving good grades in exams and skills is desirable, it is important to take a deeper look at school life. Similarly, for university and graduate students who have passed adolescence and whose personality formation is complete, reconsidering their life at university or graduate school will bring great benefits to their student life.

[0010] For prospective students, hearing directly from someone who attends or has recently graduated from their desired school is extremely beneficial in their school selection process. Similarly, for current or recent graduates, sharing their experiences at their current or former school is extremely beneficial. However, because student management and information management are crucial for each school, opportunities to discuss the school's culture and learning environment with young students, including prospective applicants, can be difficult to realize.

[0011] To address this challenge, one possible approach is to match young students, including prospective students, who wish to receive instruction on a particular school's culture and learning style with educators who are willing to provide such instruction. However, matching students based on school culture and learning style presents some ambiguity. Instruction on school culture and learning style differs significantly from instruction on subjects or units, as it is highly subjective. Therefore, to accommodate diversity, it is important to value subjectivity. For this reason, an educational system that clearly defines items related to school culture and learning style is desirable, and it is crucial to build a system that appropriately manages this type of education, not just simple matching.

[0012] The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to develop an educational system, teaching method, and educational computer program that enables elementary, junior high, high school, and university students, who choose a school such as a junior high school, high school, university, or graduate school for various examinations, to obtain realistic information about the school culture and learning experience of the school or graduate school they aspire to attend, thereby enabling them to engage in broad learning.

[0013] In Japan's School Education Act, "school" refers to kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, compulsory education schools, senior high schools, secondary schools, special needs schools, universities, and colleges of technology, but does not include graduate schools. Hereinafter, in the present specification and claims, "school" refers to institutions or organizations that are widely recognized as "educational institutions" in society, including graduate schools in addition to the schools defined in the School Education Act.When applying the present invention in foreign countries, "school" in the present specification and claims shall include educational institutions equivalent to graduate schools in Japan if the definition of "school" in the law equivalent to the School Education Act of that country does not include educational institutions equivalent to graduate schools in Japan. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In the present invention, information related to the school, such as the school's name and address, is referred to as "school items," and matters related to the school's atmosphere are referred to as "school atmosphere items." Furthermore, experiences that educators themselves have in the process of receiving and learning education, and which are unique to each educator, are referred to as "experiential education items."

[0015] A person who wishes to be taught at least one of the school culture items or experiential education items is called a "learner," and a person who teaches at least one of the school culture items or experiential education items is called an "educator." The education that an educator provides to a learner is called "educational implementation," and the date and time on which educational implementation takes place is called "educational date and time."

[0026] The education system of the present invention is characterized by further comprising a specific processing unit, wherein the specific processing unit has a function of acquiring information related to a specific report from at least one of an educator terminal and an administrator terminal operated by an administrator that manages education implementation every time education implementation is completed, and notifying the information related to the specific report, and the specific report may be characterized in that it is information indicating that information related to education implementation does not affect the examination when a learner who has participated in the education implementation takes an examination for a school to which at least one of the educator and the administrator belongs.

[0027] The educator extracting unit may be characterized by further comprising a function of collating information related to education date and time acquired from a learner terminal with information related to education date and time acquired from an educator terminal, and extracting a candidate educator.

[0028] The education method of the present invention is an education method for an educator to manage education implementation for teaching learners, characterized by comprising: education item registration means for registering a school item, a school culture item, and education date and time; educator extraction means for collating information related to a school item acquired from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information related to a school item acquired from an educator terminal operated by an educator, collating information related to a school culture item acquired from the learner terminal with information related to a school culture item acquired from the educator terminal, and extracting candidate educators; educator information selection means for selecting an educator and education date and time from among the extracted candidate educators; and education notification means for notifying information related to education implementation, wherein the school culture item is an item related to the school culture of a school, and the education implementation is an education method in which an educator teaches learners information related to the school culture unique to each educator.

[0029] The present invention is an educational method for which an educator manages the implementation of education in which an educator instructs a learner, and is characterized by comprising: an educational item registration means for registering school items, experiential education items, and educational dates and times; an educator extraction means for extracting candidate educators by comparing information related to school items obtained from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information related to school items obtained from an educator terminal operated by an educator, and information related to experiential education items obtained from a learner terminal with information related to experiential education items obtained from an educator terminal; an educator information selection means for selecting an educator and educational dates and times from among the extracted candidate educators; and an educational notification means for notifying information related to the implementation of education, wherein the experiential education items are matters related to the experience of education, and the implementation of education is an educational method in which an educator instructs a learner with information related to educational experiences unique to each educator.

[0030] The present invention relates to an educational method for an educator to manage the implementation of education in which an educator instructs learners, comprising: an educational item registration means for registering school items, school culture items, experiential education items, and educational dates and times; an extraction method selection means for selecting an educator extraction method; an educator extraction means for comparing information relating to school items obtained from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information relating to school items obtained from an educator terminal operated by an educator, and further comparing them using at least one of a first and second comparison to extract candidate educators; an educator information selection means for selecting an educator and educational dates and times from among the extracted candidate educators; and educational implementation The system is characterized by comprising an educational notification means for notifying information relating to the school culture, the school culture items being matters relating to the school's culture, and the experiential education items being matters relating to educational experiences, the first matching being a matching of culture items obtained from the learner's terminal and information relating to school culture items obtained from the educator's terminal, the second matching being a matching of information relating to experiential education items obtained from the learner's terminal and information relating to experiential education items obtained from the educator's terminal, and the educational implementation being an educational method in which the educator teaches the learner at least one of the following: information relating to the school culture unique to each educator, and information relating to educational experiences unique to each educator.

[0031] The computer program of the present invention is a computer program that provides an educational system, characterized in that the computer functions as an educational item registration unit that registers school items, school culture items, and educational dates and times; an educator extraction unit that compares information related to school items obtained from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information related to school items obtained from an educator terminal operated by an educator, compares information related to school culture items obtained from a learner terminal with information related to school culture items obtained from an educator terminal, and extracts candidate educators; an educator information selection unit that selects an educator and educational dates and times from among the extracted candidate educators; and an educational notification unit that notifies information related to educational implementation. The school culture items are matters related to the school's culture, and educational implementation is a computer program in which educators teach learners information related to the school culture unique to each educator.

[0032] The computer program of the present invention is a computer program that provides an educational system, characterized in that the computer functions as an educational item registration unit that registers school items, experiential education items, and educational dates and times; an educator extraction unit that compares information related to school items obtained from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information related to school items obtained from an educator terminal operated by an educator, compares information related to experiential education items obtained from a learner terminal with information related to experiential education items obtained from an educator terminal, and extracts candidate educators; an educator information selection unit that selects an educator and educational dates and times from among the extracted candidate educators; and an educational notification unit that notifies information related to the implementation of education. The experiential education items are matters related to educational experiences, and the implementation of education is a computer program in which educators teach learners information related to educational experiences unique to each educator.

[0033] The computer program of the present invention is a computer program that provides an educational system, comprising: an educational item registration unit that registers school items, school culture items, experiential education items, and educational dates and times; an extraction method selection unit that selects an extraction method for extracting educators; an educator extraction unit that compares information related to school items obtained from a learner terminal operated by a learner with information related to school items obtained from an educator terminal operated by an educator, and further compares them using at least one of a first and second comparison to extract candidate educators; an educator information selection unit that selects an educator and educational dates and times from among the extracted candidate educators; and a unit related to the implementation of education. The system is characterized by functioning as an educational notification unit that notifies information, with school culture items being matters related to the school's culture and experiential education items being matters related to educational experiences, the first matching being a matching of school culture items obtained from the learner's terminal with information related to school culture items obtained from the educator's terminal, the second matching being a matching of information related to experiential education items obtained from the learner's terminal with information related to experiential education items obtained from the educator's terminal, and the educational implementation being a computer program in which educators teach learners at least one of the following: information related to the school culture unique to each educator, and information related to educational experiences unique to each educator.

[0034] The educational system of the present invention is a terminal-specific educational system that is installed only on a specific group of terminals consisting of an educator terminal, a learner terminal, and an administrator terminal, and may further be characterized by comprising a terminal-specific management unit that has a function to restrict access to the terminal-specific educational system from terminals other than the specific terminal.

[0035] The educational system of the present invention may further be characterized by having a monetary donation unit that has the function of donating the compensation for the implementation of a specific educational program to a public fund in the name of at least one of the schools to which the educator responsible for the implementation of that specific educational program belongs, from a learner's terminal.

[0036] The educational system of the present invention may further be characterized by having a payment unit that has the function of paying the fee for a specific educational service to the educator's terminal, using at least one of the learner's terminal or the parent's terminal used by the learner's parent.

[0037] The educational system of the present invention may further be characterized by comprising a unit recognition management unit that includes a unit recording unit that records unit information as at least one achievement among the units acquired by the educator in relation to the implementation of education and extracurricular activities, and a unit notification unit that notifies a specific terminal of the unit information.

[0038] The specific processing unit can be provided in various cases of the educational system of the present invention, and even in educational systems other than the educational system of the present invention, providing the specific processing unit is effective in systems related to examinations or selection by examination.

[0039] School ratings, school culture ratings, and experience ratings should preferably be "internal system values" that educators and administrators cannot access, but it is acceptable if educators, learners, and administrators can access them.

[0040] The educational system of the present invention may include a function that, after the learner selects information related to the educator based on the educator's personal information and matching school culture items, extracts the educator's available educational dates and times based on the learner's desired educational date and time.

[0041] Education can be conducted in person or online. However, online learning is preferable because it leverages the advantages of online learning, such as fewer time constraints.

[0042] The educational system of the present invention allows learners to receive instruction from educators about the school culture of the school the educator attends. In this system, educators register information about their own school as "school items." Learners then select the name of the school or school area from which they wish to receive instruction on school culture, and select an educator from whom they can receive instruction on school culture or the school culture experience item.

[0043] This presents a new challenge: primarily for elementary and junior high school students, it may be difficult to determine what specific questions to ask about a school's atmosphere. For example, if an elementary school student preparing for junior high school entrance exams wants to learn about the atmosphere of the junior high school they aspire to attend, they may struggle to come up with questions, as they have no experience of junior high school life.

[0044] For working adults who have graduated from university, it is easy to imagine what university life is like, as they have experience in high school and junior high school. However, for high school students, it is difficult to imagine what university life is like. For example, the concept of "credits" in university education is easy for university students, but for high school students who have received education according to a curriculum that is more structured than that of university, it is an unfamiliar concept and can be difficult to understand.

[0045] To solve this problem, the present invention provides an educational system with "school culture items" that relate to the school's atmosphere, and allows users to select specific items related to the school's atmosphere within these items. A key feature of the present invention is that this function makes it easy for, for example, elementary school students to ask questions about the atmosphere of a junior high school, junior high school students to ask questions about the atmosphere of a high school, high school students to ask questions about the atmosphere of a university, and university students to ask questions about the atmosphere of a graduate school.

[0046] Educators need to prepare videos related to school culture and experiential learning in order to clearly explain these items. These videos are either filmed or created by the educators themselves and are unique to each educator. In some cases, such as when friends film together, these videos may be shared among multiple educators. In such cases, the videos are based on the educator's own group of friends, reflecting their unique circumstances and information.

[0047] The present invention is an educational system in which learners do not passively receive instruction from educators, but rather engage in a two-way interaction, mutually striving to improve themselves, cultivate their skills, and grow together.

[0048] The education system may also be characterized by the fact that, after at least one instance of education is conducted via an online education system, face-to-face education is conducted directly between the educator and the learner.

[0049] The education system involves face-to-face instruction, with the instruction taking place within the building or campus of the school or graduate school to which the educator belongs, and the instruction may be managed.

[0050] The education is conducted online, and when images of the educator and learner are displayed on the screen, and the images are arranged horizontally, it is preferable that the educator's image is placed to the right of the learner's image. Alternatively, when the images are arranged vertically, it is preferable that the educator's image is placed below the learner's image. In the education of the present invention, it is important to have a perspective in which there is no clear hierarchical relationship between the educator and learner, and both learn in a somewhat flat relationship, without expressing a hierarchy based on age.

[0051] A limit may be set on the number of lesson sessions that learners can reserve on their learning devices.

[0052] The educational system of this invention is not one in which the educator, who is often older, acts as the teacher and unilaterally instructs the learner like a private tutor. Rather, it is an educational method in which both the educator and the learner learn together, as the educator also cultivates and refines their skills in the process of teaching the learner school culture items and experiential learning items. Therefore, it has a stronger element of educator-led education than typical education where a teacher instructs students.

[0053] The educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention is an educational approach in which, when the educator is older than the learner, the educator does not unilaterally instruct the learner under a hierarchical relationship where the educator is superior and the learner is inferior. Rather, it emphasizes that both the educator and the learner gain various insights and knowledge through mutual self-improvement and self-cultivation.

[0054] As an example, consider a scenario where a second-year junior high school student (the educator) teaches a sixth-grade elementary school student about the school culture and atmosphere of their own junior high school. The educator, being a second-year junior high school student, already has a certain level of understanding of the school they attend daily. Here, the student's questions provide the educator with an opportunity to reconsider the school and its culture. Thus, having a deep understanding of one's own school is important and leads to comprehensive learning.

[0055] The experience of teaching others about one's own school or graduate school is invaluable. When educators explain various things in the process, they may realize that their own understanding of their school was insufficient. Teaching learners can also lead to a reaffirmation of one's own understanding and potentially lead to deeper insights.

[0056] The educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention allows a learner to receive instruction from a compatible educator several times. In this case, for learners who do not have siblings, an older educator may become like an older brother or sister, and opportunities to interact with people of various ages at a young age are educationally desirable. Similarly, when teaching the same learner, for educators who do not have siblings, it is educationally desirable that younger learners may become like younger brothers or sisters.

[0057] In the educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention, a group of specific schools may operate it. For example, three junior and senior high schools, A, B, and C, all of which are integrated junior and senior high schools with similar school cultures, may form a group, and the educational system may be for a specific group in which only students belonging to these schools can participate. In this case, it is preferable that at least one teacher from each school acts as an administrator to manage the educational system or the implementation of education.

[0058] In the educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention, it is educationally desirable for male students from boys' junior high schools and female students from girls' junior high schools to participate in various groups and engage in conversations. While both boys' and girls' schools have their advantages, interaction with the opposite sex during adolescence is extremely important from an educational standpoint. In implementing education in these mixed-gender groups, it is preferable that at least one teacher from each of the boys' and girls' junior high schools manage the educational system and its implementation as an educational administrator.

[0059] The educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention may be used in educational settings such as junior high schools and high schools, where a junior high school student acting as an educator may instruct elementary school students as learners, or a high school student acting as an educator may instruct junior high school students as learners, with the instruction being managed by a teacher at the educator's school. The instruction conducted at school may also be extracurricular activities. The learners being instructed may be of the same grade, and a second-year junior high school student from one school may discuss school life and education with a second-year junior high school student from another school, with the teacher acting as the administrator.

[0060] For educators or learners, contact with peers tends to be somewhat limited to the vicinity of their place of residence or within the scope of educational institutions, including the school they attend. Unlike typical online education, which focuses on improving test or exam scores and grades, the educational system, method, or computer program of the present invention has the potential to increase contact with peers outside of a specific residential area or school, allowing for the cultivation and refinement of character through a wide range of experiences.

[0061] Children, students, and graduate students from elementary school to graduate school often face various worries and anxieties. At such times, it may be difficult to confide in those close to them. The educational system, method, or computer program of the present invention allows for easy and quick interaction with various peers and those slightly older. In this process, they may find like-minded individuals, potentially benefiting their lives beyond mere learning and education.

[0062] In the educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention, an important point is that during the implementation of education, it is essential for the educator to talk about student life, and for dialogue to be created between the educator and the learner. Furthermore, it is preferable to require the submission of an educational report after the completion of the educational implementation. It is important for both the educator and the learner to have a learning perspective, and it is important for both to strive for improvement with the intention of submitting an educational implementation report later.

[0063] When educators prepare educational reports, they teach with the content of the report in mind after the lesson, which increases the likelihood of gaining insights and knowledge. In this process, older students not only "teach learners" but also "have the potential to learn from learners in the teaching process." Furthermore, when learners prepare educational reports, even if the content of the report they prepare after the lesson is simple, their desire to "gain something" in order to create the report is strengthened, and their motivation to learn is likely to increase.

[0064] The content that educators teach to learners is not limited to school culture items or experiential learning items, if the learners so desire, but may also include matters incidental to at least one of the school culture items or experiential learning items that educators are capable of teaching.

[0065] In the implementation of education, where educators and learners learn together on a near-equal basis, if the student is older than the learner, the educator may be referred to as the educational pioneer and the learner as the educational underachiever. Furthermore, the educational system and educational computer program of the present invention place greater value on the process of mutual dialogue than on the educator instructing the learner. Therefore, the implementation of education in the education of the present invention may be referred to as educational conversation.

[0066] Educators and learners can be grouped and managed according to the school they attend. For example, if educators attending a particular middle school are managed and grouped under the same school code, it would be easier for elementary school students who are applying to that middle school to select an educator from that specific middle school.

[0067] For example, for an elementary school student preparing for entrance exams to a particular junior high school, receiving information about the school's culture directly from current students of that school can be extremely important information in making a final decision about which school to attend. Upper elementary school students have already established a fairly clear sense of their individuality, and most of them are aware of their own personality. In this context, considering what kind of school culture their target school has and whether it suits them, and then making a final decision about which school to attend, fosters their ability to think for themselves.

[0068] While a wealth of information about schools is available online and through other media, and it's possible to gain some insight into a school's culture by attending events like cultural festivals and school information sessions, receiving firsthand, real-world information about the school's atmosphere directly from current students, and being able to ask questions as needed, is far more valuable than information obtained through general media. Depending on the educator's personality, being able to determine whether the school's image matches one's expectations or differs before taking the entrance exam is a significant advantage for learners.

[0069] When learners receive instruction from educators who are students at the school they aspire to attend, they may be concerned that the content of the instruction and discussions during the lesson may influence their entrance examination, regardless of whether or not a supervisor (who is also a teacher) is present. To address this concern, it is preferable that the educational system of the present invention includes a function to confirm that educators, learners, and supervisors all understand that the lesson will have absolutely no impact on the selection process for entrance examinations.

[0070] The condition that "the content of the education provided will not have any influence on the selection process for the entrance examination" may also be a condition for using the education system. It is preferable to add the condition that "the content of the education provided will not have any influence on the selection process for the entrance examination" to the licensing terms when using the education system, education method, or education computer program relating to the present invention on all terminals such as educator terminals, learner terminals, and administrator terminals. However, for examinees and their guardians, for whom their "lives are at stake," the "licensing terms" may cause anxiety. Even if it is guaranteed that "it will not have any influence on the selection process for the entrance examination," for learners taking the entrance examination, or their guardians, even the slightest possibility of "influencing" the selection process for the entrance examination can be a great concern.

[0071] To address this issue, the special processing unit notifies the learner's terminal of a special report after each educational session, indicating that "the content of the educational session will not have any impact on the selection process for the entrance examination." This special report serves as a guarantee that "the educational session will not have any impact on the entrance examination selection process."

[0072] The educational system, educational method, or educational computer program of the present invention may have a function to erase information relating to learners participating in the implementation of education after the implementation of the education, and to notify the educator terminal, learner terminal, and administrator terminal of the fact that the information has been erased.

[0073] When the administrator terminal receives a specific report, the specific processing unit notifies the learner terminals involved in the training session of the specific report. If issuing a specific report for each training session is burdensome for the administrator terminal, it is possible to configure the administrator terminal to automatically issue specific reports. In that case, special settings or applications must be made from the administrator terminal.

[0074] The specific processing unit prefers to receive specific reports from the administrator's terminal, but it may also be equipped with a function to receive them from the educator's terminal.

[0075] Even though the learners are elementary school students, many elementary school students today attend extracurricular activities and cram schools, so it may be important to consider the educational schedules of both educators and learners when extracting information. On the other hand, school culture and experiential education items are both important factors in learners deciding which educators to receive instruction from, so it would be better to use school culture and experiential education items as extraction information rather than educational schedules. Here, the educator extraction department may also use educational schedules as information to extract information in addition to school culture and experiential education items. Here, since the schedules of extracurricular activities, cram schools, club activities, and other activities for both educators and learners are often fixed by the day of the week, there is a risk that suitable educators may not be extracted because the educational schedules do not match the type of educator that learners desire, which is undesirable from an educational standpoint.

[0076] One way to solve this problem is to exclude the date and time of education from the information used by the educator selection unit, and instead select educators based on at least one piece of information from the school culture item and the experiential education item. If it is difficult to coordinate the date and time of education, it is preferable that learners can contact educators via their learner terminals to request a coordinated date and time. This communication may be done via email between educators and learners, but it is preferable that the education system manages these exchanges as well. Therefore, the education notification unit may be equipped with a function to send and receive communications regarding coordinating date and time of education online. Furthermore, the education management unit may be equipped with a function to manage these communications.

[0077] Educators and learners may be of the same age, the same grade level, or of the same generation.

[0078] The educational system of the present invention can communicate with various terminals, including not only educator terminals, learner terminals, and educational administrator terminals, but also learner / parent terminals operated by the learner's guardian, and there are no limitations on the terminals that can be used.

[0079] In the following embodiment, the educator conducting the education is a student attending a certain school at the time of conducting the education, but may also be a graduate of that school. In that case, it is preferable that the educator graduated from the school within the last 10 years, because the atmosphere of the school and the teachers may change after more than 10 years have passed. In this case, the education system, education method, and education computer program of the present invention may include a graduate management unit to confirm that the educator is indeed a graduate of a certain school. [Effects of the Invention]

[0080] The educational system and educational computer program of the present invention enable children, students, and pupils to receive instruction on the school culture of their current school or the school they aspire to attend, as well as various educational experiences. In the process of teaching the school culture, educators can reaffirm the school's culture, and in the process of teaching the experiential learning items, they can reconsider their own learning experiences and attitudes. This is a two-way educational system in which both the educators and learners learn, and through broad interaction and mutual learning with children, students, and pupils, diverse learning can be deepened. Furthermore, the educational system, educational method, and educational computer program of the present invention can be widely applied in institutions involved in education and learning.

[0082] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0083] The specific embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described below, and various embodiments and modifications are possible. For the sake of clarity, similar parts and components in the drawings are given the same numbering. The parties agree that individual or several embodiments can be combined to their advantage. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, not by the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and the equivalent scope of the meaning of the invention are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0084] In this embodiment, the target is schools within Japan, but the target schools may be schools in various countries around the world. Alternatively, schools in multiple countries may be incorporated into the education system database.

[0085] Each database stores various types of information, and this information is updated regularly, becoming newer over time.

[0086] [First Embodiment] Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic overview of the overall configuration of one embodiment of the educational system 1 according to the present invention.

[0087] As shown in Figure 1, the educational system 1 according to the present invention is connected to a network NW that uses the internet, intranet, wireless LAN, etc. Multiple educator terminals 71 operated by educators and multiple learner terminals 72 operated by learners are connected to the network NW. Educators can access the educational system 1 from the educator terminals 71, and learners can access it from the learner terminals 72. The educator terminals 71 and learner terminals 72 in Figure 1 are shown as some of the terminals that access the educational system, and the number of terminals shown is just an example. Educators access the network NW from their respective educator terminals 71 and register their personal information, school items, school culture items, and educational dates and times. Learners access the network NW from their respective learner terminals 72 and register their personal information.

[0088] Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0089] As shown in Figure 2, the education system 1 includes an education item registration unit 11, an educator extraction unit 12, an educator information selection unit 13, an education notification unit 14, and a school item database 21, a school culture item database 22, a school information database 24, an educator database 31, and a learner database 32.

[0090] Figure 3 is an illustrative diagram of the educator personal information registration screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0091] As shown in Figure 3, educators are required to register personal information, including information related to the school name 101, information related to the grade level 102, as well as information related to their favorite subjects 103 and information related to their hobbies 104. This information is also called "personal information," but in the present invention, this information is considered to represent the individuality of the educator and is therefore called "personality information." The education item registration unit 11 compares the information related to the school name 101 with the information in the school information database 24 to obtain information such as the school address and area of ​​the educator. Information related to favorite subjects and hobbies is accessible from the learner terminal 72, allowing learners to understand the educator's personality before conducting lessons.

[0092] Figure 4 is an example diagram of the educator school culture item registration screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0093] As shown in Figure 4, educators select specific sub-items for each of the major categories related to school culture: information related to "education and curriculum content" 111, information related to "practical training and school trips" 112, and information related to "club activities and extracurricular activities" 113. Figure 4 shows an example in which educators select "atmosphere," "teaching methods," "debate," "reports," and "school building" from the sub-items under "education and curriculum content."

[0094] Figure 5 is an example diagram of the educator school culture item registration screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0095] As shown in Figure 5, this is an example of an educator selecting "content," "teaching method," "frequency," and "degree of freedom" from the information 112 related to "practical training and school trips." Educators can similarly select sub-items for the information 113 related to club activities and extracurricular activities. It is preferable for educators to select multiple items for each sub-item of the information 111 related to education and lesson content, the information 112 related to practical training and school trips, and the information 113 related to club activities and extracurricular activities. If the total number of sub-items registered by the educator is six or less, the education system 1 will issue a notification prompting the educator to increase the number of selected items.

[0096] Educators register personal information and school culture information in the education item registration unit 11. Based on this information, the educator selection unit 12 selects educators, and learners select an educator from whom they can receive instruction on school culture. The school culture item database 22 divides school culture items into three main categories: "education and lesson content," "practical training and school trips," and "club activities and extracurricular activities." Furthermore, it stores multiple sub-items for each field, enabling educators to teach learners specific information about school culture based on various facts about school life and the unique opinions of each educator.

[0097] Figure 6 is an example diagram of the learner personal information registration screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0098] As shown in Figure 6, in addition to individual information, information related to the grade level 121 and information related to the school name 122 are registered. Registration of information related to the grade level 121 is mandatory, and the Education Item Registration Unit 11 determines whether registration of information related to the school name 122 is "mandatory or optional" based on the information related to the grade level 121. The name of the school of the learner receiving instruction on school culture items may not always be necessary for the implementation of education, but if the learner is a high school student or above, the content of instruction by the educator may vary depending on the learner's school. Therefore, the Education Item Registration Unit 11 obtains information related to the learner's age, and based on this age information, it sets registration of information related to the school name 122 as mandatory if the learner is a high school student or above, and optional if the learner is in the third year of junior high school or below. Figure 6 is an example where the learner is in the sixth grade of elementary school, so information related to the school name 122 is optional and the school name is not registered.

[0099] For educators, understanding the learner's personality is important, therefore, registering information related to the learner's favorite subjects 123 and information related to their hobbies 124 is essential. The educational item registration unit 11 detects the registration of information related to favorite subjects 123 and information related to hobbies 134, and if registration is not detected, it sends a notification prompting registration. Figure 6 shows that if the learner is a junior high school student or older, the favorite subject "arithmetic" becomes "mathematics." If the learner is a junior high school student or older, the classification of favorite subjects can be further subdivided, such as "science" becoming "physics," "chemistry," "biology," "geology," etc.

[0100] Figure 7 is an example diagram of the learner personal information registration screen in the learner terminal according to the first embodiment.

[0101] As shown in Figure 7, learners' hobbies can be categorized into three main categories: "exercise," "crafts," and "reading," with sub-categories available for each category. Figure 7 shows an example where "stories" and "history" are selected as sub-categories for information 124 related to "reading." By repeatedly performing these operations on the screen, learners can register multiple hobbies related to "exercise," "crafts," and "reading."

[0102] Figure 8 is an example diagram of the learner school item registration screen on the learner terminal according to the first embodiment.

[0103] As shown in Figure 8, when selecting a school item to choose an educator, learners select and register either information related to the school name 131 or information related to the area 132. If information related to the school name 131 is selected, registration of information related to the school name 133 is mandatory, and registration of information related to the grade 134 and information related to gender 135 is recommended. Figure 8 is an example where the school name "Private ○△ Junior High School" and the grade "2nd year" are selected. Learners must register at least one of the information related to the school name 131 or the information related to the area 132, and may register both.

[0104] Figure 9 is an example diagram of the learner school item registration screen on a learner terminal according to the first embodiment.

[0105] As shown in Figure 9, when a learner selects area-related information 132, registration of "prefecture" information 136 and "school type" information 137 is mandatory, and registration of "grade level" information 138 is recommended. The Education Item Registration Unit 11 acquires information related to the learner's age and, based on this age information, sets grade level information 138 as mandatory if the learner is a high school student or older, and recommends registration of grade level information 138 if the learner is a third-year junior high school student or younger. "School type" refers to information related to the gender of students at the school and the school's organization, such as "private boys' junior high school" or "national co-educational junior high school." Figure 9 shows an example where prefecture "Tokyo," type "private boys' junior high school," and grade level "2nd year" are selected. Multiple selections are possible for "prefecture," "school type," and "grade level."

[0106] Figure 10 is an example diagram of the learner school culture item registration screen on a learner terminal according to the first embodiment.

[0107] As shown in Figure 10, learners use the learner terminal 72 to select specific sub-items for each of the following categories of information regarding the school culture: information related to "education and lesson content" 141, information related to "practical training and school trips" 142, and information related to "club activities and extracurricular activities" 143. Figure 10 shows an example where learners select "atmosphere," "teaching methods," "debate," "reports," and "school building" from the information related to "education and lesson content" 141. Learners can similarly select sub-items for the information related to "practical training and school trips" 142 and the information related to "club activities and extracurricular activities" 143, and register multiple school culture items.

[0108] Although the school culture items are the same on the educator terminal 71 and the learner terminal 72, if the learner is relatively young, around the middle grades of elementary school, the educational item registration unit 11 may be equipped with a function to change the wording to match the learner's age. For example, "supplementary lesson" may be difficult for children up to around the middle grades of elementary school to understand, so it may be better to use simpler words such as "supplementary class". Alternatively, the unit may be equipped with a function that displays an explanation of words that may be difficult for younger children to understand when they lightly tap the item, such as "a class where you can learn again what you didn't understand in class".

[0109] Figure 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment. In the following, the information processing flow of the education system 1 will explain the process of extracting educators who meet certain conditions for a specific learner.

[0110] As shown in Figure 11, the educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the school item of a specific learner from the learner database 32 and information related to the school item of an educator from the educator database 31. (S11 in Figure 11) The educator extraction unit 12 compares the information related to the school item of a specific learner with the information related to the school item of an educator. (S12 in Figure 11) Educators for whom at least one of the information related to the school item of a specific learner matches are extracted and referred to as "X group educators". (S13 in Figure 121) The educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the school culture item of a specific learner from the learner database 32 and information related to the school culture item of an "X group educator" from the educator database 31. (S14 in Figure 11) Subsequently, the educator extraction unit 12 compares the information related to the school culture item of a specific learner with the information related to the school culture item of an "X group educator". (S15 in Figure 11) Educators are extracted from the information relating to the school culture items of a specific learner and the information relating to the school culture items of the "X group educators" for which at least one item matches. These educators are called "Y group educators." (S16 in Figure 11) The educator extraction unit 12 notifies the educator information selection unit 13 of the extracted "Y group educators" as candidate educators. The educator extraction unit 12 has a function that allows setting an upper limit on the number of people to extract, and the upper limit on the number of people to extract can be set from 5 to 100.

[0111] Figure 12 is a diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment. There may be multiple educator terminals 71 and learner terminals 72, and the figure is just one example.

[0112] As shown in Figure 12, the Education Item Registration Unit 11 retrieves data from the School Item Database 21 and the School Culture Item Database 22. The School Item Database 21 stores information related to schools throughout Japan, and the School Culture Item Database 22 stores information related to school culture items. The Education Item Registration Unit 11 stores information obtained from the educator terminal 71 and the student terminal 72 in the educator database 31 and the student database 32, respectively. The educator extraction unit 12 retrieves information from the educator database 31 and the student database 32 and performs the extraction of educator information as shown in Figure 11. The educator information selection unit 13 retrieves the extracted educator information, and the student, using the student terminal 72, reviews the information including the date and time of education and selects an educator from the extracted educator information. The Education Notification Unit 14 retrieves the educator and date and time of education selected by the student from the educator information selection unit 13 and notifies the educator terminal 71 and the student terminal 72 of this information.

[0113] Figure 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0114] As shown in Figure 13, the educator extraction unit 12 acquires information related to the school item of a specific learner and information related to the school item of the educator, determines whether the school name matches (S21 in Figure 13), and if they do not match, acquires information related to area selection (132 in Figure 9) and performs extraction. The educator extraction unit 12 determines that if the school name matches = 10 points, if the gender matches = 6 points, and if the grade level matches = 4 points, and calculates the total score as the school score. The flow of calculating the school score will be explained below (S25 in Figure 13). An example of information processing related to area selection will be described later. The educator extraction unit 12 detects whether the school is a boys' school or a girls' school (S22 in Figure 13), and if it is a boys' school or a girls' school, the gender is determined, so no judgment is made regarding gender, and the judgment of grade level matching (Figure 13) The process proceeds to S23), and if the grade level matches, the school score is set to the maximum of 20 points (S24 in Figure 13). If the school is coeducational, the gender match is determined (S26 in Figure 13), and if the gender matches and the grade level matches (S27 in Figure 13), the school score is set to the maximum of 20 points (S24 in Figure 13). If the gender matches but the grade level does not, the educator selection unit 12 calculates the school score to be 16 points (S29 in Figure 13). If the gender does not match, the grade level match is determined (S28 in Figure 13), and if the grade level matches, the school score is calculated to be 14 points (S28 in Figure 13). If the grade level does not match, the school score is calculated to be 10 points (S31 in Figure 13). The school score of each educator changes depending on the information related to the learner's school item.

[0115] Figure 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0116] As shown in Figure 14, in area selection, the educator selection unit 12 obtains information related to the school item of a specific learner and information related to the school item of an educator, and determines whether the school names match (S21 in Figure 13). If they do not match, it calculates a school score based on information related to prefecture 136, type 137, and grade 138 (Figure 9). In other words, the calculation of the school score is based on either information related to a specific school or information related to an area. The educator selection unit 12 determines that if the prefecture name matches, it is worth 4 points, if the gender matches, it is worth 3 points, and if the grade matches, it is worth 3 points, and calculates the total score as the school score. The flow of calculating the school score is explained below. First, the educator selection unit 12 determines the information related to the prefecture (S41 in Figure 14), and if it determines that the prefectures do not match, it calculates a school score of 0 points. (S54 in Figure 14) The educator extraction unit 12 accesses the school information database 24 and obtains information about the location of the school the educator attends based on the information about the name of the educator's school. If it determines that this matches the area information: information about the prefecture name registered by the learner, the educator extraction unit 12 accesses the school information database 24 and determines that it matches the school item registered by the learner based on the information about the type of school the educator attends. (S42 in Figure 14) Subsequently, following the flow shown in Figure 14, the educator extraction unit 12 calculates a school score of 10, 7, 6, 4, 3, or 0 points in the area information. Similar to Figure 13, each educator's school score changes depending on the information about the learner's school item.

[0117] Figure 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0118] As shown in Figure 15, the educator extraction unit 12 acquires information related to the school culture item of a specific learner and information related to the school culture item of an educator, determines whether there are any matching sub-items of the school culture item (S61 in Figure 15), and sets the school culture score as "number of matching sub-items of the school culture item × 2" (S62 in Figure 15). If it is determined that there are no matching sub-items of the school culture item, the school culture score is set to 0 points (S63 in Figure 15). If the target is "Y group educators" who have at least one matching sub-item of the school culture item according to the flow in Figure 11, then only S62 in Figure 15 is required.

[0119] Figure 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0120] As shown in Figure 16, following the flow in Figure 15, the educator extraction unit 12 calculates the school culture score for a specific learner from the "Y group educators". For example, learner "Tanaka XX" selects 5 out of the 8 sub-items of the school culture item "Education / Lesson Content". The educator extraction unit 12 detects that 4 items match those selected by "Tanaka XX", educator A matches 5 items, educator B matches 5 items, educator C matches 2 items, educator D matches 1 item, and educator E matches 1 item. The unit calculates twice the number of matching items for each educator as the school culture score related to "Education / Lesson Content", resulting in scores of 8 points for educator A, 10 points for educator B, 4 points for educator C, 2 points for educator D, and 2 points for educator E.

[0121] Figure 17 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0122] As shown in Figure 17, following the flow in Figure 15, the educator extraction unit 12 detects matching sub-items for each educator for the five sub-items selected by learner "Yamamoto ○△" from the eight sub-items of the school culture item "Education / Lesson Content". The educator extraction unit 12 detects that educator A has 1 matching sub-item, educator B has 2, educator C has 3, educator D has 3, and educator E has 3 matching sub-items, and calculates scores of 2 for educator A, 4 for educator B, 6 for educator C, 6 for educator D, and 6 for educator E. Similar information processing is performed for the sub-items "Practical Training / School Trip" and "Club Activities / Extracurricular Activities" to calculate school culture scores.

[0123] Figure 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0124] As shown in Figure 18, the educator extraction unit 12 extracts "Y Group educators" for a specific learner "Tanaka XX," then compares the information related to the specific learner's school item with the school item of all "Y Group educators," and further compares the information related to the specific learner's school culture item with the school culture item of all "Y Group educators," and calculates the school score and school culture score. For all "Y Group educators," the calculated school score and school culture score are added together to calculate the overall score. Educators A to E in Figure 18 are just examples of "Y Group educators," and the number of educators may be larger. Educator A's school score is 4 points higher than Educator B's, while Educator A's school culture score is 4 points lower than Educator B's, so the overall score is the same for both Educator A and Educator B at 38 points. The educator extraction unit 12 notifies the educator information selection unit 13 of the overall score, and the educator information selection unit 13 displays educators with high overall scores on the learner terminal 72 on the screen related to educator information selection.

[0125] Figure 19 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0126] As shown in Figure 19, the educator extraction unit 12 extracts "Y-group educators" for a specific learner "Yamamoto ○△" and calculates the school rating, school culture rating, and overall rating for educators A through E. Different learners may select different school items and school culture items, and the "Y-group educators" for different learners may also differ, but here, for the sake of explanation, we assume that the same educators A through E are used. Figure 19 is just one example, and there may be more "Y-group educators" for "Yamamoto ○△". "Tanaka ○○" and "Yamamoto ○△" have significantly different school items and school culture items, and this difference is reflected in the large differences in the school rating and school culture rating of educators A through E. Based on the information for "Tanaka XX," the overall scores for educators are 38 points for educator A, 38 points for educator B, 30 points for educator C, 20 points for educator D, and 16 points for educator E. However, based on the information for "Yamamoto XX," the scores are 16 points for educator A, 14 points for educator B, 30 points for educator C, 38 points for educator D, and 32 points for educator E, showing a significant difference.

[0127] Thus, the greatest feature of Education System 1 is that the educator's school rating and school culture rating change depending on the learner's information regarding school items and school culture items, and as a result, the educator's overall rating changes depending on the learner. In other words, the perspective that the educator's evaluation changes according to the individuality and orientation of the learner is important. In the education world, or the examination world, there is a strong tendency to favor the standard score, which is considered "universal." Although standard scores can mathematically "change depending on the population," it is generally recognized that "the ups and downs of standard scores are constant," even if there are some differences depending on the research institution. In Education System 1, the educator's school rating, school culture rating, and overall rating are numerical values ​​within the system and cannot be known by the educator or learner. Educators are "ranked" by learners, but it is important that "the evaluation and rating change depending on the learner," rather than "the evaluation and rating being the same from the perspective of all learners" as with standard scores. The present invention has great features and importance in that it respects the individuality and orientation of learners to the greatest extent.

[0128] Figure 20 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of information processing in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0129] As shown in Figure 20, when the educator information selection unit 13 detects that there are educators with the same overall score (S71 in Figure 20) based on the overall score of "Y group educators" obtained from the educator extraction unit 12, it detects whether the score is that of the educator's school (S72 in Figure 20). If the school scores are the same, the educators are displayed in alphabetical order (S73 in Figure 20). If the school scores are not the same, the educators with higher school scores are displayed preferentially (S74 in Figure 20). The reason for this is that while both school scores and school culture scores are important when considering the individuality and orientation of learners, information related to the school, gender, and grade level is more important to learners, and it is desirable for them to receive education from educators with the background they desire.

[0130] Figure 21 is an illustrative diagram of the teacher selection screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0131] As shown in Figure 21, the educator information selection unit 13 acquires information about candidate educators extracted by the educator extraction unit 12 and notifies the learner terminal 72 of this information. The learner can then check the information on the learner terminal 72 and select an educator. The educator information selection unit 13 displays educators with high overall scores first, and, following the flow in Figure 20, displays educators with the same overall score first, prioritizing those with higher school scores. Information related to the school name 151 and video information of facial photographs 152 are available in a list, displaying various educators on the left and right. For extracted educators, along with their facial photographs, the grade level 153, gender 154, and school culture items and sub-items 155 that match the school culture items desired by the learner are displayed. The learner selects an educator based on the information related to the matching school culture items and the impression received from the facial photograph. In Figure 21, the facial photograph 152 "Takahashi △□" is the educator with the highest overall score and the highest school score.

[0132] Figure 22 is an illustrative diagram of the teacher selection screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0133] As shown in Figure 22, learners can scroll through the educators' portraits 162 displayed on the left and right sides of their learner's device by tapping. In Figure 22, the portrait 162 "Suzuki XX" is the educator with the second highest overall and school ratings. To the left of "Suzuki XX" is "Takahashi △□," who has the highest overall and school ratings. The overall rating, school rating, and school culture rating are all "numerical values ​​within the system" and are not displayed on the screen. In Figure 18, educator A is "Takahashi △□" and educator B is "Suzuki XX." The learner is asking a second-year junior high school student at private ○△ Junior High School to teach the school culture item. Educator A = "Takahashi △□" is a second-year junior high school student, and educator B = "Suzuki XX" is a third-year junior high school student, and educator B = "Suzuki XX" has a higher school culture rating. Here, the educator information selection unit 13 displays educator A = "Takahashi △□" as the top priority candidate, as they are a second-year junior high school student desired by the learner, and as a result, although their overall scores are the same, their school scores are higher. It is entirely up to the learner to choose between "Takahashi △□" and "Suzuki ○○", or any other educator, on the learner terminal 72. If the learner selects few school culture items, the educator extraction unit 12 will extract less information about the educators. In this case, the learner may reconsider the school culture items they select, depending on the available educators.

[0134] Figure 23 is an illustrative diagram of the education date and time selection screen of the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0135] As shown in Figure 23, the educator information selection unit 13 displays the available dates and times for the educator selected by the learner in a calendar format 171. Dates available to the educator are marked with a black circle and enclosed in a black frame on the calendar. The number of black circles represents the number of available lesson slots for that day. The education system 1 manages lesson implementation in 45-minute slots, and educators register the start time and manage lesson dates and times on a slot-by-slot basis. The learner selects a date and time from the available lesson dates and times 172 for the selected educator using the learner terminal 72. The education notification unit 14 acquires the information of the lesson date and time selected by the learner. When the learner selects a specific educator and lesson date and time, the education notification unit 14 notifies the educator terminal operated by the selected educator and the learner terminal operated by the learner who made the selection of the lesson about the lesson implementation.

[0136] Figure 24 is an example diagram of the learner's education implementation registration screen according to the first embodiment.

[0137] As shown in Figure 24, the education notification unit 14 notifies a specific learner terminal related to a specific educational implementation of information related to that specific educational implementation. The screen of the specific learner terminal displays the educator's personal information 181, school culture items 182 that match the school culture items of the specific learner from the information related to the school culture items of the specific educator, and information related to the date and time of the education 183.

[0138] Figures 25 and 26 are illustrative diagrams of the education implementation reception screen for educators in the education system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0139] As shown in Figure 25, the educational notification unit 14 notifies a specific educator's terminal of information related to a specific educational implementation. The screen of the specific learner's terminal displays the learner's personal information 191, school culture items 192 that match the school culture items of the specific learner from the information related to the school culture items of the specific educator, and information 193 related to the date and time of the education. As shown in Figure 26, the educational notification unit 14 displays specific individual information on the specific educator's terminal, including information 194 related to the learner's favorite subjects and information 195 related to their hobbies.

[0140] Information 194 relating to subjects a particular learner likes and information 195 relating to hobbies are not used by the educator extraction unit 12 when extracting information about educators, but they are important information for understanding the learner's personality. When conducting education, educators refer to this information and teach the students according to the school culture items. In general education matching systems, matching is done based on "what subjects and fields to teach," whereas the education system 1 of the present invention is characterized by ranking educators based on school ratings, school culture ratings, and overall ratings that match the individuality of the learners. Furthermore, it differs significantly from conventional education systems in that it acquires and notifies educators of information relating to subjects a learner likes and hobbies, which are often excluded from "teaching subjects and fields." [Examples]

[0141] The second embodiment is an education system 2 that extracts educators based on information from experiential education items instead of school culture items in education system 1. It has the same functions as education system 1 and includes an experiential education item database 23 instead of a school culture item database 22.

[0142] Figure 27 is a block diagram illustrating the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0143] As shown in Figure 27, the education system 2 comprises an education item registration unit 11, an educator extraction unit 12, an educator information selection unit 13, an education notification unit 14, a school item database 21, an experiential education item database 23, a school information database 24, an educator database 31, and a learner database 32. The education system 2 extracts information related to educators based on information related to school items and information related to experiential education items.

[0144] Figure 28 is an example diagram of the educator experience education item registration screen of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0145] As shown in Figure 28, educators use the educator terminal 71 to select specific sub-items for each of the major categories related to experiential education: learning-related information 201, examination-related information 202, and hobby-related information 203. Figure 28 shows an example where three items are selected from the sub-items 211 related to "learning" 201: "attitude," "reading," "note-taking," "grades," "preparation," and "review": "attitude," "note-taking," and "grades." It is important to note that experiential education items are matters that educators experience in their own education and learning, and are unique to each educator. Learning-related information 201 requires educators to teach learners based on their own unique experiences, and the education system 2 excludes teaching only the learning content of specific subjects or units.

[0146] For example, in specific units such as arithmetic or science, Education System 2 excludes the teaching of "how to solve problems only" from the scope of educational implementation. Education System 2 repeatedly notifies educators via the educator terminal 71 and learner terminal 72 that experiential education items are educators' unique experiences related to learning that they gained during their own learning process. When an educator selects the sub-item "attitude" in the learning-related information 321, they are required to teach more fundamental attitudes and learning methods rather than specific instruction in each subject studied at school or cram school. As a concrete example of "attitude," they may teach specific examples such as how to solve problems in a particular subject, but teaching "how to solve problems only" is excluded. To ensure this is strictly followed, Education System 2 repeatedly notifies educators via the educator terminal 71 of information regarding these precautions related to experiential education items.

[0147] Figure 29 is an example diagram of the educator experience education item registration screen of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0148] As shown in Figure 29, this is an example where an educator selects "Target School," "Reasons for Applying," "Pass / Fail Prediction," and "Reference Books" from the sub-items 212 "Target School," "Reasons for Applying," "Pass / Fail Prediction," "Reference Books," "Lifestyle," and "Cram School" under the "Examination" 202 category on the educator terminal 71. Educators are required to teach information related to examinations in the experiential education items that is unique to each educator, such as "Reasons for Applying to a Certain School," rather than information that is widely available in books or online, such as how to solve problems in a specific subject.

[0149] Figure 30 is an illustrative diagram of the educator experience education item registration screen of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0150] As shown in Figure 30, this is an example where an educator selects "interesting places," "practical skills," and "games" from the sub-items 213 of "hobbies" 203, namely "interesting books," "interesting places," "exercise," "practical skills," "travel," and "games," using the educator terminal 71. In the experiential education item "hobbies," educators are required to teach opinions unique to the educator, based on their own experiences, rather than information that is widely known through media such as books and the internet.

[0151] Figure 31 is an example diagram of the learner experience education item registration screen of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0152] As shown in Figure 31, learners can select experiential learning items on the learner terminal 72. Figure 31 shows an example of selecting four items from the sub-items 231 of “Learning” 221, namely “Posture,” “Reading,” “Note-taking,” “Grades,” “Preparation,” and “Review,” namely “Posture,” “Note-taking,” “Preparation,” and “Review.” Similarly, it is possible to select sub-items for “Exams” 222 and “Hobbies” 223.

[0153] Figure 32 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0154] As shown in Figure 32, the educator extraction unit 12, similar to Figure 11, extracts educators whose school-related information matches that of a specific learner, according to steps S81, S82, and S83 in Figure 32. These educators are called "Group X educators." The educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the experiential education items of a specific learner from the learner database 32 and information related to the school culture items of "Group X educators" from the educator database 31. (S84 in Figure 32) Subsequently, the educator extraction unit 12 compares the information related to the experiential education items of a specific learner with the information related to the experiential education items of "Group X educators." (S85 in Figure 32) The educators are extracted whose information matches that of "Group X educators," according to steps S81, S82, and S83 in Figure 32. These educators are called "Group Z educators." (S86 in Figure 32) The educator extraction unit 12 notifies the educator information selection unit 13 of the extracted "Z group educators" as candidate educators.

[0155] Figure 33 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 2 according to the second embodiment. Based on the information related to school items, the school score calculated by the education system 2 is the same as in the education system 1, as shown in Figure 13 or Figure 14.

[0156] As shown in Figure 33, the educator extraction unit 12 acquires information related to the experiential education items of a specific learner and information related to the experiential education items of an educator, determines whether there are any matching sub-items of the experiential education items (S91 in Figure 33), and sets the experience score as "number of matching sub-items of the experiential education items × 2" (S92 in Figure 33). If it is determined that there are no matching sub-items of the experiential education items, the experience score is set to 0 points (S93 in Figure 33). If the target is "Z group educators" who have at least one matching sub-item of the school culture item according to the flow in Figure 32, then only S92 in Figure 33 may be performed.

[0157] Figure 34 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the functions of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0158] As shown in Figure 34, following the flow in Figure 33, the educator extraction unit 12 detects matching sub-items for the four sub-items selected by learner "Suzuki O△" from the six sub-items of the experiential education item "Learning" among the "Z Group Educators". The educator extraction unit 12 detects that educator F has 2 matching sub-items, educator G has 4, educator H has 3, educator I has 0, and educator J has 1 matching sub-item among the sub-items selected by "Suzuki O△", and calculates the following scores: educator F: 4 points, educator G: 8 points, educator H: 6 points, educator I: 0 points, and educator J: 2 points. Similar information processing is performed for the sub-items of the other experiential education items, "Exam Preparation" and "Hobbies", and the experience scores are calculated.

[0159] Figure 35 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the functions of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment.

[0160] As shown in Figure 35, following the flow in Figure 33, the educator extraction unit 12 detects matching sub-items for the three sub-items selected by learner "Akiyama △○" from the six sub-items of the experiential education item "Learning" among the "Z Group Educators". The educator extraction unit 12 detects that educator F has 2 matching sub-items, educator G has 2, educator H has 1, educator I has 2, and educator J has 3 matching sub-items selected by "Akiyama △○", and calculates scores for educator F (4 points), educator G (4 points), educator H (2 points), educator I (4 points), and educator J (6 points). Similar information processing is performed for the sub-items of the other experiential education items, "Exam Preparation" and "Hobbies", to calculate the experience scores. Thus, a characteristic of the education system 2 is that the experience scores of the same educator differ greatly depending on the experiential education items selected by the learner.

[0161] Figure 36 is a diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the education system 2 according to the second embodiment. There may be multiple educator terminals 71 and learner terminals 72, and the figure is just one example.

[0162] As shown in Figure 36, the Education Item Registration Unit 11 retrieves data from the School Item Database 21 and the Experiential Education Item Database 23. The Experiential Education Item Database 23 stores information related to experiential education items. The Education Item Registration Unit 11 stores the information to be registered from the educator terminal 71 and the learner terminal 72 in the educator database 31 and the learner database 32, respectively. The educator extraction unit 12 retrieves information from the educator database 31 and the learner database 32, extracts information related to educators as shown in Figure 32, calculates the school score according to the flow in Figure 14, and calculates the experience score according to the flow in Figure 33. The educator information selection unit 13 retrieves information related to the extracted candidate educators and prioritizes displaying educators with higher overall scores, which are the sum of school scores and experience scores. If the overall scores are the same, the educator with the higher school score is prioritized. Learners, using the learner terminal 72, review the information including the date and time of education and select an educator from the extracted information related to educators. The education notification unit 14 obtains information regarding the educator and the date and time of education selected by the learner from the educator information selection unit 13, and notifies the educator terminal 71 and the learner terminal 72 of this information.

[0163] [Third Embodiment] The third embodiment is an education system 3 that, in addition to the functions of education system 1 and education system 2, has a function for selecting a method for extracting educators. Education system 3 includes an extraction method selection unit 15 for selecting a method for extracting educators.

[0164] Figure 37 is a block illustrating the education system 3 according to the third embodiment.

[0165] As shown in Figure 37, the education system 3 comprises an education item registration unit 11, an educator extraction unit 12, an educator information selection unit 13, an education notification unit 14, an extraction method selection unit 15, and a school item database 21, a school culture item database 22, an experiential education item database 23, a school information database 24, an educator database 31, a learner database 32, and an extraction method database 41. Learners select at least one of the school culture items and experiential education items on the learner terminal 72, and extract information about educators based on information related to the school item and information related to the selected item.

[0166] Figure 38 is an example diagram of the learner extraction item selection screen of the education system 3 according to the third embodiment.

[0167] As shown in Figure 38, learners select items to extract educators using the learner terminal 72. The school item 301 is mandatory and is already selected; it cannot be removed from the items to be extracted. Learners select at least one item from the school culture item 301 and the experiential education item 303.

[0168] Figure 39 is an example diagram of the learner extraction item selection screen of the education system 3 according to the third embodiment.

[0169] As shown in Figure 39, learners select at least one item from school culture item 302 and experiential education item 303. Figure 27 shows an example where both school culture item 302 and experiential education item 303 are selected. There are three ways to make selections, as described below. 1. Select item 302 (School Culture) + item 303 (Experiential Education). 2. Select item 302 (School Culture) + Do not select item 303 (Experiential Education). 3. Do not select item 302 regarding school culture + select item 303 regarding experiential education. Because learners can choose how educators are selected, they can choose educators based on the content they wish to be taught, their ideal image of the educator's school, and their perception of the educator's approach to education, thus diversifying the range of educator choices.

[0170] Figure 40 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 3 according to the third embodiment.

[0171] As shown in Figure 40, the extraction method selection unit 15 performs information processing that requires the school item (S101 in Figure 40). Next, the extraction method selection unit 15 acquires information regarding whether the learner selects the school culture item (S102 in Figure 40), and if the learner selects the school culture item, it then acquires information regarding whether the learner selects the experiential school culture item (S103 in Figure 40). If the experiential school culture item is selected, the extraction method selection unit 15 confirms "extraction method P" (S104 in Figure 40), and if the experiential education item is not selected, it confirms "extraction method Q". (S105 in Figure 40) When the extraction method selection unit 15 obtains the information "Do not select school culture items" in S102 in Figure 40, it obtains information regarding whether to select experiential education items (S106 in Figure 40). If experiential education items are selected, it confirms "Extraction Method R" (S107 in Figure 40), and the extraction method selection unit 15 notifies the educator extraction unit 12 of the confirmed extraction method.

[0172] Figure 41 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 3 according to the third embodiment.

[0173] As shown in Figure 41, the extraction method selection unit 15 explains the flow of the educator extraction unit 12 in “Extraction Method P” (selecting both school culture items and experiential education items) based on the information obtained from the learner terminal 72. The educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the school items of a specific learner from the learner database 32. It obtains information related to the school items of educators from the educator database 31. (S111 in Figure 41) The educator extraction unit 12 compares the information related to the school items of a specific learner with the information related to the school items of educators. (S112 in Figure 41) It extracts educators for whom at least one of the information related to the school items of a specific learner matches the information related to the school items of educators, and these educators are called “S group educators”. (S113 in Figure 41) The educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the school culture items of a specific learner from the learner database 32 and obtains information related to the school culture items of “S group educators” from the educator database 31. (S114 in Figure 41) Next, the educator extraction unit 12 compares the information relating to the school culture item of a specific student with the information relating to the school culture item of the "S group educators". (S115 in Figure 41) The unit extracts educators who have at least one match between the information relating to the school culture item of a specific student and the information relating to the school culture item of the "S group educators", and these educators are called "T group educators". (S116 in Figure 41)

[0174] The educator extraction unit 12 obtains information related to the experiential education items of a specific learner from the learner database 32 and information related to the experiential education items of "T group educators" from the educator database 31. (S117 in Figure 41) Next, the educator extraction unit 12 compares the information related to the experiential education items of the specific learner with the information related to the experiential education items of "T group educators". (S118 in Figure 41) The educator extraction unit 12 extracts educators who have at least one match between the information related to the experiential education items of the specific learner and the information related to the experiential education items of "T group educators", and calls these educators "U group educators". (S119 in Figure 41) The educator extraction unit 12 notifies the educator information selection unit 13 of the extracted "U group educators" as candidate educators.

[0175] Figure 42 is a diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the education system 3 according to the third embodiment. There may be multiple educator terminals 71 and learner terminals 72, and the figure is just one example.

[0176] As shown in Figure 42, the extraction method selection unit 15 determines the method for extracting educators based on the information obtained from the learner terminal 72, following the flow in Figure 40, and notifies the educator extraction unit 12 of the information related to the educator extraction method. The educator extraction unit 12 extracts educators using one of the extraction methods “Extraction Method P”, “Extraction Method Q”, or “Extraction Method R” obtained from the extraction method selection unit 15. The information processing for calculating the school score is the same as in Figure 14, the information processing for calculating the school culture score is the same as in Figure 15, and the information processing for calculating the experience score is the same as in Figure 33. If there are educators with the same overall score, the educator information selection unit 13 prioritizes displaying educators with higher school scores, according to the information processing in Figure 20. The learner selects candidate educators and teaching dates and times, and the teaching notification unit 14 notifies the summary information to the educator terminal 71 operated by the educator and the learner terminal 72 operated by the learner.

[0177] [Fourth Embodiment] The fourth embodiment is an education system 4 that, in addition to the functions of education system 3, further includes a function for managing the implementation of education.

[0178] Figure 43 is a block diagram illustrating the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0179] As shown in Figure 43, the education system 4 comprises an education item registration unit 11, an educator extraction unit 12, an educator information selection unit 13, an education notification unit 14, an extraction method selection unit 15, an education management unit 16, and a school item database 21, a school culture item database 22, an experiential education item database 23, a school information database 24, an educator database 31, a learner database 32, an extraction method database 41, a school culture video database 51, and an experiential education video database 52.

[0180] Education System 4 requires that when teaching school culture items, educators must present a video about the school culture to their students. This video is related to the educator's school life and is unique to each educator, either filmed or created by the educator themselves. By making the presentation of this video mandatory, students can significantly deepen their understanding of the school culture items.

[0181] For example, consider a case where a middle school educator teaches elementary school students about club activities and extracurricular activities as part of the school culture section. In elementary school, there are activities called "clubs," which are equivalent to club activities in middle and high school, but "clubs" and "club activities" are quite different. And for elementary school students who have no experience of middle school life, it may be difficult to visualize and deeply understand club activities just by hearing about them in words. Therefore, it is thought that having videos related to club activities would make it much easier to understand. To solve this problem, the education system 4 manages the process by which the education management department 16 manages the uploading and preparation of school culture images and experiential education videos by educators from the educator terminal 71 before conducting the lesson.

[0182] Figure 44 is an example diagram of the school culture video registration screen of the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0183] As shown in Figure 44, in the education system 4, educators are required to register at least two school culture videos for each major category of school culture items and experiential education items that can be taught. For example, if an educator makes all of the major categories of school culture items, "Education / Lesson Content," "Practical Training / School Trip," and "Club Activities / Extracurricular Activities," available for teaching on the educator terminal 71, they are required to register at least two school culture videos for each category, for a total of at least six school culture videos. Similarly, educators are required to register at least two experiential education videos for each of the major categories of experiential education items that can be taught, such as "Learning," "Exams," and "Hobbies." Figure 44 shows an example where an educator registers photos of various locations taken by themselves during a club activity camp as school culture videos, and registers two school culture videos for each of the school culture items, "Education / Lesson Content," "Practical Training / School Trip," and "Club Activities / Extracurricular Activities."

[0184] Figure 45 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment. It describes the information processing in which the education management department 16 manages the school culture video when an educator selects a school culture item as teaching content.

[0185] As shown in Figure 45, the Education Management Department 16 obtains information related to school culture items and information related to school culture videos from a specific educator. (S121 in Figure 45) The Education Management Department 16 then checks whether two or more school culture videos are registered for each major item of the school culture items. (S122 in Figure 45) If there is a major item of the school culture items for which two or more school culture videos are not registered, the Education Management Department 16 sends a notification to the educator terminal 71 stating "Two or more school culture videos registered for each major item of the school culture items," and continues sending notifications until the educator registers two or more school culture videos for each major item of the school culture items. (S123 in Figure 45) The Education Management Department 16 sends a notification once a day until it confirms that "Two or more school culture videos are registered for each major item of the school culture items selected by the educator." The Education Management Department 16 controls the system so that the educator cannot accept the implementation of education related to the school culture items until it detects that "two or more school culture videos have been registered" for all major categories of school culture items (S124 in Figure 45).

[0186] Figure 46 is an example diagram of the screen used in the implementation of education using the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0187] As shown in Figure 46, educators appropriately use videos of the school culture when teaching school culture-related topics and videos of experiential learning when teaching experiential learning-related topics, making the explanations easy for learners to understand. Figure 46 shows a middle school student educator presenting a photograph of a sunrise seen in Goto, a place visited by a middle school club activity, as one of the school culture-related videos when teaching elementary school students about school culture-related topics. When middle school students educators teach elementary school students about school culture-related topics and experiential learning-related topics, the learners can learn real information about the middle school the educator attends. Furthermore, it is meaningful for educators to reaffirm their own school culture and educational experiences in the process of explaining these things. A characteristic of this type of educational implementation is that learners learn about school culture and attitudes toward learning, and educators reflect on their own school life and attitudes toward learning.

[0188] Figure 47 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0189] As shown in Figure 47, the Education Management Unit 16 detects major school culture items that the educator can teach and that the learners are requesting to be taught during the lesson, and the educator obtains information related to the school culture items and information related to the school culture video from the educator terminal 71. (S131 in Figure 47) The Education Management Unit 16 detects the start of the online lesson. (S132 in Figure 47) During the online lesson, the Education Management Unit 16 detects that the school culture video will be displayed on the screen by the operation of the educator terminal 71 up to 5 minutes before the end of the lesson. (S133 in Figure 47) Up to 5 minutes before the end of the lesson, if there are major school culture items that the educator has not detected a school culture video for from the educator terminal 71 for the lesson that is scheduled to be taught during the lesson, the Education Management Unit 16 notifies the educator terminal 71 of a request to display the school culture video. (S134 in Figure 47) This reminder notice continues to be displayed on the screen of the educator terminal 71 and continues to be sent to the educator terminal 71 until the display of the school culture video related to all major school culture items is detected. (S135 in Figure 47) Figure 47 shows the case where an educator teaches information related to school culture items, but when an educator teaches information related to experiential education items, the education management department 16 similarly detects the display of the experiential education video and, if not detected, issues a notice urging the display.

[0190] Figure 48 is a diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the education system 4 according to the fourth embodiment. There may be multiple educator terminals 71 and learner terminals 72, and the figure is just one example.

[0191] As shown in Figure 48, in addition to the functions of Education System 3, Education System 4, through its Education Management Department 16, acquires information from the School Culture Video Database 41 and the Experiential Education Video Database 42, and manages whether the school culture videos related to the school culture items taught by educators and the experiential education videos related to the experiential education items are appropriately presented during educational implementation. Because Education Management Department 16 appropriately manages educational implementation, the outcomes of educational implementation are improved for both educators and learners.

[0192] [Fifth Embodiment] The fifth embodiment includes, in addition to the functions of the education system 4, the education management department 16, which manages education personThis is educational system 5, which further includes functions for managing devices and managing the submission of educational reports.

[0193] Figure 49 is an explanatory diagram showing an overview of the overall configuration of the education system 5 according to the present invention. In addition to the functions of the education system 4, the education system 5 further includes the functions of the education management unit 16, which manages the educator management terminals and manages the submission of education reports. The education system 5 is a system in which teachers at each school act as administrators to manage students who are educators, and the administrator terminal 73 is a terminal operated by a teacher at the school the student attends, and the number of terminals is just an example.

[0194] Figure 50 is a block diagram illustrating the education system 5 according to the fifth embodiment.

[0195] As shown in Figure 50, the education system 5 includes an education item registration unit 11, an educator extraction unit 12, an educator information selection unit 13, an education notification unit 14, an extraction method selection unit 15, an education management unit 16, and a school item database 21, a school culture item database 22, an experiential education item database 23, a school information database 24, an educator database 31, a learner database 32, an education administrator database 33, an extraction method database 41, a school culture video database 51, an experiential education video database 52, a student database 61, a timetable database 62, and an education report database 63.

[0196] Regarding school culture and experiential learning items, we believe that it would be a great learning experience for both educators (who are middle school students) and students (who are elementary school students) to teach or explain these topics. On the other hand, educators who are unfamiliar with this type of teaching may feel anxious about whether they can teach appropriately. Furthermore, for school teachers and other stakeholders, there is a lack of clarity regarding how educators will teach about the school's culture to students, which may lead teachers to feel the need to manage the implementation of the teaching.

[0197] To solve this problem, Education System 5 is an education system that, in addition to the functions of Education System 4, allows administrators who manage educators to participate from an administrator terminal 73. As shown in Figure 50, Education System 5 is designed for middle school or high school students to conduct education as an extracurricular activity at their respective schools, with teachers acting as administrators. It includes a student database 51 and a timetable database 52, and the Education Management Unit 16 manages the dates and times of education to ensure that they do not overlap with the dates and times of classes or other school activities. The Education Management Unit 16 obtains information related to the school's timetable from the timetable database 52 in advance and has a function that prevents educators who are students from selecting times when there are school classes or events as education dates and times.

[0198] Figure 51 is a diagram illustrating the operation flow of the administrator terminal according to the fifth embodiment, and the functions corresponding to the operation flow.

[0199] As shown in Figure 51, teachers, as administrators, manage the overall flow from their administrator terminal and monitor whether their students are acting appropriately as educators. The Educational Management Department 16 manages the flow from the completion of educational activities to the submission of educational reports. The Educational System 5 requires educators to compile educational reports summarizing the knowledge, experiences, and impressions they gained from conducting educational activities, and the Educational Management Department 16 manages the submission of these reports. The educational reports must also include knowledge or impressions related to at least one of the following: school culture videos or experiential education videos. The Educational Management Department 16 detects the online receipt of educational reports from educator terminals 71 within three days of the completion of educational activities. Upon detecting the educational reports received from educator terminals 71, the Educational Management Department 16 completes the series of educational activities, including the implementation of the educational activities, and simultaneously sends the educational reports to the administrator terminal 73. Teachers, as administrators, check the educational reports of students who are educators and understand the status of students' extracurricular activities.

[0200] Figure 52 is an illustrative diagram of the screen used in the implementation of education using the education system 5 according to the fifth embodiment.

[0201] As shown in Figure 52, this is an example of an educator who is a student at ○◎ Junior High School teaching the school culture of ○◎ Junior High School to elementary school students and their parents who are considering applying to the school through entrance examinations. Among the school culture items, an educator who wishes to teach information related to "practical training and school trips" and is able to do so will display photographs of the Shimanto River that they took during a school trip as a school culture video on the screen to teach in an easy-to-understand manner. Teachers at ○◎ Junior High School participate in the online education implementation as administrators from administrator terminal 73. When participating in the online education implementation from the administrator terminal, teachers can select the time they participate and can turn on and off the functions to display their own image and transmit their own voice as needed.

[0202] Figure 53 is an illustrative diagram of the screen used in the implementation of education using the education system 5 according to the fifth embodiment.

[0203] As shown in Figure 53, two students, one male and one female, from XX Junior High School (the two students in the lower right of the bottom row of Figure 41), act as educators and teach four elementary school students (the four students in the upper and lower left of the top row of Figure 41) who are interested in school life at XX Junior High School, about the school's culture. As a video about the school's culture, a photograph of the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots, taken by the educators themselves during a school trip to XX Junior High School, is displayed on the screen. A teacher from XX Junior High School acts as the administrator, using administrator terminal 73 to acquire video and audio information of the online education and manage its implementation. The teacher continuously monitors throughout the online education to ensure that the students, who are acting as educators, are appropriately explaining the school's culture and experiential education items. Respecting the autonomy of the student educators, the teacher, as administrator, manages the lesson by turning off their own image and audio.

[0204] Figure 54 is an illustrative diagram of the screen used in the implementation of education using the education system 5 according to the fifth embodiment.

[0205] As shown in Figure 54, if the educator determines that there are unclear points in the information being taught to the student regarding the school culture item, the administrator, a teacher at XX Junior High School, can operate the administrator terminal 73 and participate in the online education by transmitting their own video and audio from the middle of the lesson. The educator displays the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots as a school culture video in order to teach about the "practical training and school trip" item of XX Junior High School's school culture, and at that time, they may also talk about the various exhibits they saw at the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots. In this way, when teaching the school culture item and experiential education item, the educator can appropriately judge and teach matters related to the school culture item and experiential education item. Similarly, learners can ask questions about matters related to the school culture item and experiential education item as appropriate.

[0206] Figure 54 illustrates an example where, during a lesson about the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots, the conversation expands to include the Kamikaze pilots, and elementary school students, who are just beginning to learn about Japanese history, ask the educator various questions about the Kamikaze pilots. In this case, the teacher from XX Junior High School, acting as the administrator, will intervene in the online lesson if they feel the educator's explanation of the Kamikaze pilots is insufficient, and will summarize the information. The teacher's video will be displayed on the screen, but in consideration of the students' autonomy, the teacher's video will be placed below the educator and learners'. After summarizing the information as appropriate, the teacher will exit the online lesson and manage the educator and learners' activities via video and audio. The teacher may also continue participating in the online lesson.

[0207] [Sixth Embodiment] The sixth embodiment is an education system 6 that, in addition to the functions of the education system 5, has an education management unit 16 that manages the administrator terminal 73 and manages the submission of education reports, and further includes a specific processing unit 17 that manages specific reports.

[0208] Figure 55 is a block diagram illustrating the education system 6 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0210] Within a predetermined time frame from the moment the Education Management Department 16 detects the end of an online or in-person educational session managed by the Education Management Department 16, the Identification Processing Unit 17 receives an identification report from the administrator terminal 73 and has the function of notifying the learner terminal 72 of the identification report. The identification report indicates that the content of conversations between the administrator, educator, and learner during the educational session will not have any effect on the learner's examination or selection process if they are taking an examination at a school to which at least one of the administrator or educator belongs. After the end of each educational session, the Identification Processing Unit 17 notifies the administrator terminal 73 of a request for submission of an identification report, receives the information related to the identification report from the administrator terminal 73, and then notifies the learner terminal 72 or parent terminal 74 of the response.

[0211] Figure 56 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 6 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0212] As shown in Figure 56, after the completion of the educational implementation, the identification processing unit 17 sends a notification requesting the submission of an identification report to the administrator terminal 73 that manages the educational implementation. (S141 in Figure 56) Then, it receives information related to the identification report from the administrator terminal 73. (S142 in Figure 56) If the identification report is not received from the administrator terminal 73 within 3 days, the identification processing unit 17 sends a notification requesting the submission of an identification report to the administrator terminal 73. (S143 in Figure 56) The identification processing unit 17 continues to send notifications requesting the submission of an identification report to the administrator terminal 73 until it receives information related to the identification report. (S144 in Figure 56) The identification processing unit 17 notifies the learner terminal 72 or the parent terminal 74 of the identification report obtained from the administrator terminal 73. (S144 in Figure 56)

[0213] Figure 57 is a flowchart illustrating an example of information processing in the education system 6 according to the sixth embodiment.

[0214] As shown in Figure 57, the education management unit 16 of the education system 6 manages the submission of education reports and has a function to send a notification requesting submission if the report is not submitted within a specified time. After the completion of education, the education management unit 16 receives education reports from the teacher terminal 71. (S151 in Figure 57) If the education report is not received within 3 days, it sends a notification requesting submission of the education report to the teacher terminal 71. (S152 in Figure 57) The education management unit 16 continues to send the request notification to the teacher terminal 71 until the education report is received. (S153 in Figure 57) Once the education report is received from the teacher terminal 71, the education management unit 16 notifies the administrator terminal 73 of the education report. The destination of the education report can be set in various ways, and it is also possible to select a function to notify the learner terminal 72. The function to request submission of education reports can be set to on or off. Furthermore, similar to the educator terminal 71, it is also possible to select a function to manage the submission of educational reports from the learner terminal 72 and, if no submission is made, to request it, as shown in Figure 57.
