A Research and Development of Database Software and Telecommunication Network System for Learners at primary and secondary level.

在这个项目中，我们确立了以下两个目标：(1)在中小学自然科学和社会学科的课程中，为学生自己编写和处理数据的教育情境，为计算机之间的信息交互提供完整的集成环境。(2)关于在信息处理的基础上，积极利用信息进行科学调查和讨论的多功能假设的课程开发。(1)“Ichi-Ni-San”，一个数据库软件，支持孩子们自己操作，分析数据，并在图形设备上显示。(2)“Kawa-van”，一个允许学生之间交换信息的远程通信工具。关于研究的进展，我们在1991年3月提交了一份中期报告，介绍了这些软件的开发和在实际教学中的试用情况。该项目的最终报告描述了软件的开发、软件实施手册和开发的课程的实践调查。IBM日本计划根据我们的研究成果，将我们的“Ich-Ni-San”实现到他们的“教育电子地图”(Map DB：NEC的PC-98版和IBM的日文DOS/V版)中。火影忍者网的互联软件“河原-VAN”的相关软件产品，相当基础，这项研究的定位是通过学生在课堂上积极使用计算机作为信息处理工具，为学生学习动机的支持环境的实施。总结我们的成果，我们相信这个项目已经达到了实际使用的阶段。

In this project we established following two goals ;(1) complete provision against an integrated environment for enabling mutual exchange of information among computers in the educational situation of compiling and handling of data by students themselves in courses of natural sciences and social subjects in elementary and junior high schools.(2) curriculum development in relation to versatile suppose of active use of information involving their scientific investigation and discussion on the basis of information processing.As for our achievements in research, we implemented following two software ;(1) "Ichi-Ni-San", a database software supporting kids to operate by students themselves, to analyze data, and to display them on graphic devices.(2) "Kawara-VAN", a telecommunication tool to allow message exchange among students.With regard to the progress in the research, in the march, 1991, we submitted an interim report on the development of these software and on their trial application to practical instruction. The final report of this project was described on the development of the software, manuals for software implemented and practical survey on the curricula developed.IBM Japan has a plan to realize our "Ich-Ni-San" into their package "The Electronic Maps for Education" (Map DB : editions for PC-98 of NEC and Japanese DOS/V of IBM) basing on our ideas derived from this research.Pelated software products of "Kawara-VAN", an interconnection software to NARUTO-net, Pretty Basic, etc. may be released to our collaborators free of charge.The positioning of this study is the implementation of supporting environment for students' learning motivation by their active use of computers as tools for information handling in classes. To summarize our achievement, we are sure that this project has reached the stage for practical use.
