KOKUYO's IoT stationery "Shukudai Motivation Pen" is a product developed to "visualize" the daily efforts of children working on their studies and to increase their motivation for learning by linking with smartphone apps. ..At KOKUYO, there was an example of remarkable results when using this "Shukudai Motivation Pen" as a tool to support the learning of children with developmental characteristics who need to devise their lives and learning. I decided to move to full-scale research.

　The purpose of this joint research is to verify the effectiveness of the "Shukudai Motivation Pen" as a learning support tool for children with developmental characteristics. A group of 100 subjects will study at home using the "Shukudai Motivation Pen" and will be divided into a group to analyze qualitative changes and a group to analyze IoT data obtained from the Shukudai Motivation Pen. ..

　In terms of quality, we will consider "Shukudai Motivation Pen" as one of the measures to acquire learning habits in the educational field, and from the viewpoint of professionals (occupational therapists), we will adapt this tool in the educational and nursing field. Show direction. From the analysis of IoT data, we will find out how to acquire learning habits, home learning support methods, motivation improvement measures, etc. according to the individuality of the child by going through a cycle of feeding back to the field of education and nursing.
