Abstract

[Problem] The objective of this invention is to record children's play as data and to enable the evaluation of abilities developed based on that data and their correlation with the next educational curriculum. [Solution] Based on the time children spend in the play area or the number of times they enter and exit the play area while at the nursery, evaluation data of children's play and the abilities fostered through play is created by comparing it with the average value per child. This allows the abilities fostered through play to be linked to evaluation values in subjects in the next educational curriculum. [Selection Diagram] Figure 11

  2. The educational support system according to claim 1, characterized in that the evaluation unit compares the evaluation value of the child's developed abilities, based on the sum of the play characteristics data and the results of the calculation for a specified child during a specified predetermined period, with the evaluation value of the child's developed abilities, based on the average value per child of the sum of the calculation results for multiple children extracted based on the specific information of the child during the predetermined period, and evaluates the child's developed abilities.
  3. The educational support system according to claim 2, characterized in that the play characteristics data includes learning items in the child's post-graduation educational curriculum that correspond to the abilities fostered through play.
  4. The educational support system according to claim 3, characterized in that, after the child graduates from the kindergarten, the child's evaluation information is stored on an external storage server, and the system has an input means that allows for the addition of evaluations corresponding to the learning items to the evaluation information.
  5. The process of linking play with the skills we want to cultivate, The process of obtaining authentication information of children entering or leaving the play area where the aforementioned play is available, A step of obtaining specific information of a child who has the aforementioned authentication information, The process includes recording the entry time or exit time based on the time the aforementioned authentication information was obtained, A step of calculating the time spent in the play area and/or the number of times entering and exiting based on the aforementioned entry time and exit time, A step of storing the child's specific information, the date and time of acquisition of the authentication information, the play, and the results of the calculation as linked data, The process involves specifying the evaluation period for the abilities to be fostered, The process involves classifying the aforementioned play into broad categories of play, and linking those broad categories of play to the abilities to be fostered. A step of calculating the sum of the results of the calculations performed by each child for the major subject of play during the evaluation period, A step of calculating the average value of the calculation results per child from the sum of the calculation results of multiple children extracted based on the specific information of the children for the major subject of play during the evaluation period, A step of determining an evaluation value for the ability to be fostered in relation to the major subject of play, based on the sum of the results of the calculations performed by the child and the average value, A method for evaluating the abilities that are nurtured, characterized by including the following.
  6. The evaluation value determined for the abilities fostered in relation to the aforementioned major subjects of play is the number of major subjects in which the sum of the calculation results of the child being evaluated is greater than the average value of the calculation results per child of the same age as the child. The method for evaluating the abilities to be nurtured as described in feature 5.
  7. The process of aligning the subjects in the educational curriculum for the aforementioned children after graduation with the abilities to be fostered, The process of inputting evaluation values for the aforementioned subjects, A step of comparing the input evaluation value for the subject with the determined evaluation value, The method for evaluating the abilities to be nurtured according to claim 5, characterized by including the following:

Description

This invention relates to an educational support system and the abilities that are fostered, and more particularly to the evaluation of abilities fostered through play. In daycare centers, kindergartens, and other childcare facilities, IT-based systems are used to monitor children's activities. Current systems for recording the activities of infants and children involve staff inputting activity records via input terminals installed in various locations, and outputting these records using output devices. These output activity records can also be provided to parents. However, in the current standard of free-play childcare (environmental childcare), which is "selective childcare," caregivers acknowledge the diversity of children and allow each child to choose what they want to do. Because activities differ and there is no method for selecting a point of comparison, this creates a problem where caregivers have difficulty assessing children's development. In implementing free-play childcare, it is difficult for caregivers to evaluate and record children (understand their behavior), and it is extremely difficult to follow each child's daily activities individually. Therefore, it is necessary to record children's activities, analyze the activity data, and use that analysis data to provide detailed guidance and development for children. Furthermore, local education boards are beginning to implement initiatives to utilize the development of children's abilities through play in nurseries and kindergartens for learning in elementary schools. However, it remains unclear how the abilities developed through children's play in daycare centers and kindergartens are actually nurtured, or how these abilities connect to learning in the post-graduation curriculum, specifically in elementary, middle, and high school. Therefore, there is a need for an educational support system that records children's activities during their time at these institutions as data, which can be used to guide children during their enrollment. Currently, using information and communication technology (ICT), it is possible to record and compile children's activities as data with a simple configuration that does not burden childcare providers, and to quantify data related to children's activities. Furthermore, a childcare system has been proposed that allows parents to easily check their child's activity records through data, monitor their child's activities in real time, and easily understand the children's behavior (see Patent Document 1). This type of childcare system includes a server, a tablet connected to an IC card reader, a computer installed in the nursery's office, and an IC chip. Play areas are set up in the nursery rooms, with a tablet and IC card reader at each play area. The IC card reader reads the IC chip when a child starts and finishes playing. The server records the child's activity in the play area as data based on the child's number on the IC chip read by the IC card reader. The tablet displays the child's name from the IC card read by the IC card reader when the child starts playing in the play area, and can erase the child's name from the screen when the child finishes playing.
