Second Test Results: Maria@home allows you to acquire the skill of "applying knowledge" that will be necessary in the future!
The upcoming 2020 education reform will bring about major changes to the "Course of Study."
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's message behind the revision is, "Even as society becomes more difficult to predict, we hope that students will be able to identify challenges on their own, learn on their own, think, judge and act on their own, and realize the happiness they envision .
The new curriculum guidelines list the following as the three skills necessary for children to live in the new era.
Knowledge and skills that can be used in real society and daily life
Ability think, judge and express oneself in unknown situations
and humanity to apply what one has learned to life and society
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology: Course of Study
The background to this revision is that advances in IT and AI are changing the "skills needed to survive in the future."
In the future, we will live in an era where more "change" will be required, and in order to survive on one's own, it will be important to have the ability to "imagine" and "infer" and then "apply" that knowledge.
We believe there are two key points to making this possible.
Regarding point 1, in today's information society, it is extremely important to "discern the essence of things." Furthermore, in a society where predictions are difficult to make, it is also necessary to question "common sense." Are the things that have been considered "obvious" and the things that have been done until now really correct?
It is predicted that 65% of children entering elementary school in the United States in 2011 will work in jobs that do not exist today (Note 1), so new ideas and ways of thinking will become extremely important.
Regarding point 2, it is said that with advances in IT and AI, 49% of jobs could be replaced by machines in 10 to 20 years. (Note 2) In the future, machines will take on jobs that can be done by machines, and people will adapt to "jobs that only humans can do."
In such circumstances, it is extremely important to find your mission in life.
This is because purpose, enjoyment, a sense of mission, and passion transform a person into the most powerful engine, fueling knowledge and ultimately leading to a ``brilliant life.''
At maria@home, we keep the above two points in mind as we update our products daily.
The results of the second maria@home test showed that students did not just leave the knowledge they had learned, but instead imagined, applied, and output it themselves. Please see below.

■Preliminary survey profile
■ Verification details
We tested how using maria@home affects the level of "knowledge application" (1 to 7) below. (Changes after using it 25 times over 47 days, once a day for 15 minutes)
Level 1: Not reading books
Level 2: Reading a book
Level 3: They tell you the story of the book
Level 4: They try to share their thoughts or opinions about a book.
Level 5: They talk about riddles they came across in books and things they have memorized.
Level 6: Trying to apply what I learned from books to my daily life
Level 7: I have applied what I learned from the book to my daily life and my behavior and words have changed.
*The above is a level breakdown of the growth process that can be achieved by using maria@home. We believe that you can grow from level 1 to level 7.
■ Verification results
In a survey conducted immediately after use, 43.3% of the children were at level 2, "reading books," whereas in a survey conducted after use, 40.2% had changed to level 5, "talking about riddles that came up in books and things they had memorized."
■Summary
It is very difficult to remember something in fragments, but at Maria@home, you can practice looking at one thing from multiple angles every day. Children are full of curiosity, they learn everything, and they have questions. At such a stage, it is important to stimulate your child's interest from various angles.
Through maria@home, people can make various discoveries and become more aware of things, which in turn changes their behavior. Test results also showed that people who were passive before using maria@home began to take action and communicate on their own through Maria@home. In the coming age, we will need people who can think and act proactively. We believe that maria@home can produce such people.
