構造力学演習自動学習システムの作成とその試行

Abstract

Structure mechanics is the most important foundamental subject in the civil engineering course. Especially, shearing force and bending moment of the beam is considered as the basic significant content. Therefore, students may be regarded as not being reached to the prescribed level of structural mechanics, if their comprehension is insufficient in this basic learning items. For the student who's comprehension is not sufficient, the introduction of CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) is considered to be very effective, since he can study in accordance with his study speed and level of comprehension. In this study, CAI program software of shearing force and bending moment of the beam is developed by Visual Basic. Then, applying this automatic studying program to students, the efficacy of CAI is investigated, comparing two groups of the students, one who study consulting to a instructor and another the students who study by CAI. From the comparison, a good result is obtained for the studying by the CAI program developed in this study.
