Second Test Results: 85.8% of parents approve of the Think Button feature, which "improves children's ability to think for themselves"
Nowadays, the market is changing at an incredible speed due to changes in AI and technology.
Until now, the image of an excellent person has been someone who can "derive the right answer," but it is said that such people will lose their value in the future as times change.
It is said that the ability that will be required in the future
We conducted this test to find out whether Maria@home can help people acquire the "human skills" that cannot be measured by IQ figures.

■Preliminary survey profile
■ Verification results
85.8% of parents responded that it "improves children's ability to think for themselves."
At Maria@home, we don't just read picture books; we also use the "Think" button that appears throughout the book to help children deepen their understanding and thinking.
The contents of the "Think About It" button can be divided into the following three categories:
・Questions that ask about understanding the situation of picture books
-Questions about the characters' feelings
・Questions that have no answers, but that encourage students to imagine and think for themselves
They also train every day to instantly summarize and communicate their thoughts and feelings to the other person (robot).

By doing this daily training, we have seen amazingly positive changes in our children.

Furthermore, by developing the ability to think for themselves, the children were seen to be able to output the ideas, thoughts, and knowledge they learned from the picture book not only within the app, but also in their everyday lives.
The image below shows the stages of growth that can be achieved by using Maria@home. We believe that growth can occur from level 1, "not reading books," to level 7, "applying what I learned from books to my daily life and changing my behavior and speech."
Immediately after the test, most children were at level 2, "reading books," but after using the app (25 times), this had reached "talking about riddles that came up in books and what they had memorized."
After just one month of use, we were able to see this much change and growth.
■Summary
Maria@home is designed to go beyond the world of picture books, and to connect interest to the real world from the picture book. So when the same scene appears in the real world, children will connect the dots in their mind and a story will be created.
Also, at Maria@home, we respect whatever answer your child gives when they press the "Think" button. This is because, as I mentioned at the beginning, we don't believe there is any significance in getting the right answer.
By practicing dialogue with the robot and having what they say respected, children will accumulate small "successful experiences." By accumulating these successful experiences, children will be able to dig deeper, learn, think, and output on their own, and we believe this will help them acquire the "skills they will need in the future."
