- The following is content from the press release -
Tenjin," a popular children's tablet version of the popular "Gaia no Yoake" TV show, adds new contents that meet the trends of questions for elementary school entrance examinations.
(Head office: Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshiaki Kurosawa), which plans, develops, and sells Tenjin, an educational tablet learning material for children from 0 years old to elementary school entrance exam preparation, will release additional content for elementary school entrance exam preparation in July.
Tenjin" was highlighted on TV Tokyo's "Gaia no Yoake (Dawn of Gaia)" for its ability to be used for learning from age 0, and it also includes many challenging applied problems. With a wealth of questions designed to prepare students for elementary school entrance exams, "Tenjin" has been well received by users who are considering taking elementary school entrance exams and users who want to develop non-cognitive skills such as the ability to think persistently and not to give up.
In July, we will further strengthen our lineup of elementary school entrance exam preparation content by adding questions that require logical thinking and imagination.
According to the Basic School Survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of students enrolled in private elementary schools is increasing every year despite the declining birthrate. After 2020, when the Corona Disaster is in full swing, the popularity of private elementary schools is rapidly increasing, partly because private elementary schools were the first to attract attention for their efforts to provide online and shortened classes.
Analog learning style persists in elementary school entrance exam preparation
While elementary schools are increasingly using ICT materials in response to the Corona disaster, analog learning styles such as paper-based materials at preschool classes and commercially available problem books remain strong in elementary school entrance exam preparation.
When paper drill materials are used for home study, there are challenges in preparing materials for weak points and repetitive learning, utilizing the time available, managing learning history, and so on. In order to provide hints and explanations, parents must copy and cut the drill materials, draw pictures to illustrate them, etc. The current situation for elementary school entrance exam preparation places an extremely heavy burden on parents.
Tenjin" infant tablet version for elementary school entrance exam preparation on a tablet.
The concept of the "Tenjin" tablet version for infants is "to provide an intellectual and talent education environment tailored to the developmental status and interests of young children, and to fully develop their talents and individuality. It is used as a learning tool to solve the problems of conventional elementary school entrance exam preparation. The following are some of the reasons why Tenjin is used to prepare students for elementary school entrance exams, as well as some of the features of Tenjin.
The system is equipped with a rich content of 3,800 questions in 42 units, allowing you to prepare for problems without having to buy several problem books.
The system automatically adjusts the curriculum according to the target schedule, allowing you to prepare for the exam in plenty of time for the exam.
The system has a full range of management functions for moms and dads, allowing them to manage their studies without hassle or omission.
A wealth of similar problems for thorough and repeated study.
Micro-learning in between various classes such as toddler classes, gymnastics classes, painting classes, etc., without the need for internet access.
It also has a full range of "reading" and "writing" questions that cannot be mastered in preparation for entrance exams, making it useful for students preparing to enter elementary school after taking the entrance exam.
Here are some of the elementary school entrance exam preparation questions we currently have recorded.
All questions are read aloud in the same way as in elementary school examinations. If the correct answer cannot be obtained on the first attempt, an animated hint is provided to encourage rethinking. The explanations are also displayed in easy-to-understand animated form.
Started adding questions in a format that is in line with the latest examination trends; in July, added new content that fosters a programming mindset that "understands how things work and the order in which they are done and produces results efficiently".
The "Tenjin" tablet version for infants and toddlers was highlighted on the May 5 broadcast of TV Tokyo's "Gaia no Yoake" (Dawn of Gaia) as a digital educational tool that can be used from age 0, and as mentioned above, it is also used as a learning tool to prepare for elementary school entrance exams.
In July, we will add "Track Ido," content that fosters a programming mindset that "understands how things work and the order in which they work, and how to efficiently achieve results.
Here are some comments from the person in charge.
The content to be added this time requires thinking about the procedure for moving a track. As the difficulty level increases, there will be situations where you will have to say, "In order to move this truck, I have to move that truck first. This is a programming-like thinking process that requires an understanding of how things work and the order in which they work in order to achieve efficient results. To develop the ability to "visualize in your mind," it is important to practice repeatedly based on effective hints and explanations. While paper-based drill materials require parents to be prepared and creative in showing hints and explanations, "Tenjin" eliminates the time and effort required, and we hope that you will enjoy working with your child to prepare for the elementary school entrance examinations.
Additional content will be added in the future to foster non-cognitive skills, such as the ability to think persistently.
The questions in the "Tenjin" infant tablet version are challenging enough to foster the ability to think persistently, and to work without giving up, so that even children who are not preparing for the elementary school entrance examinations can learn them as applied questions. These abilities, which cannot be quantified by tests, are being studied for their importance as non-cognitive abilities.
While most tablet materials for young children from other companies are designed to prepare students for elementary school entrance exams, "Tenjin" will add various variations of questions as a tablet material for young children that can prepare them for elementary school entrance exams and foster their non-cognitive skills.
