Description

The invention relates to a device for self-monitoring of learning content, comprising at least one information carrier in the form of a book with several sheets connected to each other along a line, on each of which information in the form of task fields and their respective corresponding solution fields is displayed in a planar manner, and comprising a cover consisting of a front cover, a back cover and a spine on the one hand, and on the other hand an opaque device for covering at least one task and/or solution field, which is guided on the at least one book in such a way that it lies parallel to the base of a sheet of the book and is capable of relative displacement with respect to the sheet in question parallel to its base, 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. Some devices for self-monitoring of learning content are already known. The DE 203 13 047 U1 This reveals a learning aid in which a learning tray made of cardboard, plastic, or wood, designed to hold question and answer worksheets, uses a loose, rectangular slider to precisely and selectively cover and reveal multiple questions and/or answers in succession with one hand. This is achieved by sliding the slider along one edge of the tray. However, this arrangement is only suitable for use with single worksheets, so the learning effect is quite limited. 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 US 4,377,383 A The illustration shows a learning aid in the form of a card dispenser. The cards are individually removed by hand from a box through a designated opening and placed on an accompanying tray with different sections, according to the learning strategy. The top of the box lid has a cutout, revealing a task field from the information carrier inside the box. A solution field on the same information carrier is covered by another section of the box lid. This covered section is neither movable nor otherwise usable; rather, the information carrier on top must remain in place. The answer key must be removed from the box to read the solution field, which involves a considerable amount of effort. Finally, this concerns US 4,770,638 A A learning aid with a stand for holding several card-shaped information carriers upright. The stand is folded from a flat piece of material, such as cardboard. This stand has a pocket-shaped base into which the information cards can be inserted from the top, so that they protrude from the front of the pocket to approximately half their height. A flap is molded into the
