Description

The invention relates to a device for self-monitoring of learning content, comprising a flat information carrier with planar information in the form of task fields and each associated solution fields, and an opaque device for covering a task and/or solution field, which is guided on the information carrier in such a way that it lies planarly on a part of the information carrier and is capable of relative displacement with respect to the information carrier within the common plane, but only (anti-)parallel to a single spatial direction. The written or visual recording of information for the purpose of conveying and learning it is widespread. This includes all textbooks, but also self-created vocabulary notebooks, etc. Acquisition usually occurs through repeated memorization of the learning content. To check whether the acquired learning content is readily available in memory, current technology requires a second person to ask questions, which the student then answers. If a second person is not available, thorough checking is impossible. In this case, the student must cover the answer fields with one hand and try to give the correct answers from memory. However, the corresponding answer field should be uncovered immediately after each answer is found, so that the student can still recall the answer without any doubt and critically assess their own solution as correct or incorrect. This approach, however, lacks an overview of correct/known and incorrect/unknown answers, which is crucial for the learning process and would allow for monitoring and evaluating learning progress. Even if a tally of correct and incorrect answers is kept, it ultimately lacks information about which concepts have been mastered and which have not. The student would therefore have to practice the same learning content repeatedly until the correct answer is memorized. However, from a learning perspective, it is not efficient to only repeat one learning topic, as previously acquired information is often forgotten when practicing other learning content. Several devices for self-monitoring of learning content are already known. For example, the US 5,281,146 A A set of quiz cards is presented, which are placed in a case. A question can be read through a window in the case, with the answer initially hidden by a sliding element, allowing the user to enter their own answer and then compare it to the model answer. Multiple questions and answers are possible per card, so the sliding element is carefully moved downwards. After working through a card, it can be removed from the case and must then be placed at the bottom of the stack. The answers to all previously answered questions on that quiz card remain visible, so the learning effect is minimal if the same questions are repeated intermittently. German utility model DE 1 866 491 U The device for self-checking learning content, which can be integrated into a book, for example, is described below. A transparent colored overlay is the same color as the solutions printed in the book, so that the solutions are not visible, only the black-printed problems, which shine through the colored overlay. The colored overlay is attached to the book cover in such a way that it can cover any page. It can be moved either parallel or perpendicular to the book's binding, revealing the initially hidden content of the page. The disadvantage is that the overlay bulges increasingly when moved downwards, partially obstructing the view of the revealed page. When moved from left to right, however, a tunnel is created, allowing a view into the lower right corner. The colored background, especially the proposed red color, is also a disadvantage, as it is extremely tiring for the eyes to work on problems that must be read against a red background for extended periods. The DE 27 36 042 C3 This reveals a learning aid in which a mechanical device within a housing allows for the gradual shifting of learning content, so that vocabulary words and their corresponding translations appear in two viewing windows and alternate when the mechanism is activated. The learning process is limited to reading and comparing; the individual vocabulary words are mentally reproduced and compared with the solution. Precise spelling is not practiced. Furthermore, an endless ribbon, wound around two pulleys, serves as the information carrier. No simple solution is proposed for changing this ribbon, meaning that only the same learning content can be practiced with this device each time. The disadvantages of the described prior art give rise to the problem that initiated the invention: to create a means for critical and efficient self-monitoring of progress in acquiring learning content. This means of self-monitoring should be achievable with minimal effort and repeatable as often as desired in order to observe learning progress. The solution to this problem in a generic device for self-monitoring of learning content is achieved by designing the device
