Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to resolve the limit of the prior system for the learning of proofs, the new system was developed as a game. The main modifications are as follows: improvement of user registration, the refinements of the well-structured goals, introduction of the whole map of five stages, arrangement of rewords, insertion of an attractive story for students.
Especially concerning the refinements of the well-structured goals, two manners of structural refinements are equipped. The fist generates five stages of problems to be solved in accords with the characteristics of proof (theorems and their handlings). The second generates the problem groups based on the similarity of situations, and arranges the order of these groups in accordance with their complexity (ex. the locations of figures).
