Professor Takafumi Terazawa of the Graduate School of Education, Okayama University has established a method to surely improve children's motivation through e-learning using big data. Demonstrated that it will change to a positive attitude.It is a graph that anyone can do, and it was announced at the 9nd Japanese Psychological Society held in Sendai City in September.

 According to Okayama University, Professor Terazawa has established a technology called "microstep scheduling" that collects enormous amounts of highly accurate learning data, and succeeded in visualizing and graphing detailed learning effects that were previously invisible.

 In Takamori Town, where we conducted a demonstration experiment in 2016, we collected data from children who are e-learning on tablets using that technology, and children who had little motivation to learn until then will improve their grades according to learning. I realized that and found that I would definitely increase my motivation.

 In some cases, 10 children who initially gave up studying almost completely increased to the average score after 7 months.In addition, it became clear that vocabulary improved even with less than 2 seconds of learning, and that repeating the same English words more than 1 times a day had no effect on the ability.

 Until now, there was no systematic way to support learning English and Chinese characters that had to be learned over a long period of time.Moreover, if the learning outcomes are not visible, the child will soon give up, and in this case the teacher's guidance will not reach.
Professor Terazawa cites that one of the causes is the lack of highly accurate data and the inability to introduce scientific methods into education, and that this method can eliminate children who are giving up learning from elementary schools nationwide. I'm watching.
