The present invention provides a
server device, a learning assistance method, and a recording medium, which can immediately and easily confirm and effectively learn to what extent a
sentence set by oneself as a
learning object is searched by other users. When a user attribute of a summary object is set in a communication terminal, a user specifies a
sentence and instructs "
sentence search", a learning assistance
server (10) searches the specified sentence with an
encyclopedia, and determines whether the specified sentence is included in the top of a
search ranking and whether the specified sentence is included in the top of an average search frequency
ranking based on
search history data of the summary object. When the specified sentence is included in the top of the
search ranking, the
server (10) displays a message (M1) notifying of the top of the
search ranking in the summary object together with a search result of the specified sentence in the communication terminal (20), and when the specified sentence is included in the top of the average search frequency
ranking, a message (M2) notifying of the top of the average search frequency
ranking in the summary object is displayed.
