Responding to changes in the home learning environment for elementary school students, connecting "wanting to play games" to "wanting to learn"

In recent years, the learning environment for elementary school students has changed significantly.

Against the backdrop of ICT in school education, the number of children using digital learning materials for home study is increasing, while a decline in children's motivation to study is a challenge.

Our company recognizes that children find it "difficult to engage in self-directed learning," and parents have "concerns about their children not learning spontaneously."

In response to these changes, we believe that connecting children's natural motivation to "play games" with "learning" can lead to solutions for the challenges faced by both children and parents, and have developed the game-based learning app "Wakuwaku Mana Build ~Learn and Build Summer Vacation~."

We aim to provide a learning experience where children can naturally review the content learned up to the summer vacation while enjoying playing games during the summer break.

What is "Wakuwaku Mana Build ~Learn and Build Summer Vacation~"?

This app is a game-based learning app that uses an "island building game" as its base, where players collect building materials to develop their island by playing "learning games."

The learning content covers Japanese language, mathematics, and English (foreign language activities) that students in grades 3-5 learn by the summer vacation.

By repeating the cycle of "island building (game elements)," "understanding unit learning," and "repetitive learning," children can review the curriculum up to the summer vacation without difficulty while enjoying the game.

Feature 1: Designed to naturally encourage learning to develop the island

*Images are from the development stage and may differ from the actual specifications.

To achieve the game's objective of island development, players must collect materials by playing the in-app learning games.

The acquired materials are divided by subject, and the design naturally exposes children to Japanese language, mathematics, and English (foreign language activities) in a balanced way.

Furthermore, the game progression is structured according to the general learning order in elementary schools, allowing for gradual review without encountering difficult problems from the start.

Feature 2: Learning itself can be enjoyed in a game-like manner

*Images are from the development stage and may differ from the actual specifications.

In Japanese language, problems that check reading comprehension through conversations between characters are included. In English (foreign language activities), problems that require finding spoken words on the screen within a time limit are incorporated, making the learning itself engaging and game-like.

The structure is designed to be easily approachable for children who may have a negative perception of conventional learning materials.
