Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional learning methods provide uniform learning information in a fixed order, failing to consider individual learner weaknesses and characteristics, leading to inefficient learning as unnecessary information is provided to all learners.

Innovation Solution

A system that determines the direction of supplementary learning for a learner based on academic achievement, using a knowledge map to assign weights to correlations between learning units and considering similar learner patterns, to provide only necessary learning information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If uniform learning information is provided to all learners in a fixed order, then the learning system is simple to manage, but learning efficiency deteriorates because unnecessary information is provided to learners

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of managing learning systemVSAvoidlearning efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The learning information is segmented into multiple learning units that are organized in a knowledge map structure. Each learning unit represents a discrete topic or concept, allowing the system to selectively provide only the necessary segments to each learner based on their specific needs rather than providing all learning information uniformly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by determining supplementary learning directions and weights specific to each learner's weaknesses and characteristics. The knowledge map assigns different weights to different learning units based on their correlation with the learner's problematic areas, ensuring that each learner receives customized learning information tailored to their local needs rather than uniform content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If all learning information is provided to learners regardless of their needs, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but time is wasted as learners study unnecessary content

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecomprehensive coverage of learning informationVSAvoidtime spent on unnecessary learning

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and provides only the necessary learning information from the comprehensive knowledge base. By analyzing learner characteristics and academic achievements, the system extracts specific learning units that need supplementary learning and excludes unnecessary content, thereby maintaining comprehensive coverage of available resources while eliminating time waste on irrelevant material.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The learning information provision is made dynamic by continuously determining supplementary learning directions based on learner characteristics and academic achievements. The system dynamically adjusts which learning units are provided to each learner, allowing the content delivery to adapt to changing learner needs rather than following a static fixed-order curriculum.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If fixed-order learning information is provided according to predetermined system, then curriculum structure is maintained, but individual learner characteristics are not considered

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecurriculum structureVSAvoidadaptability to individual learner needs

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge map serves as a universal structure that can accommodate multiple learning paths and supplementary learning directions. This single knowledge map system handles both the maintenance of overall curriculum structure and the provision of customized learning paths for different learners, achieving multi-functionality by supporting both structural stability and individual adaptability within the same framework.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of learner characteristics and academic achievements before determining supplementary learning directions. By pre-establishing the knowledge map structure and pre-analyzing learner needs, the system prepares the appropriate learning paths in advance, allowing it to maintain curriculum structure while being ready to adapt to individual learner characteristics when providing supplementary information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present invention relates to a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for providing learning information. According to the invention, it is possible to consider, in providing supplementary learning information to a learner, both of a supplementary learning pattern common to all learners and a supplementary learning pattern of a specific learner whose characteristics are similar to those of the learner, so that learning units necessary for supplementary learning of the learner may be found accurately and efficiently.
