Especially among junior high school students, it is natural for each class to have two students who are not attending school.

TOPPAN Holdings started providing the digital learning service “navima(R)” for elementary and junior high schools in 2021, and it has been used in more than 2,000 elementary and junior high schools nationwide (as of December 2023). “navima(R)” takes advantage of the unique
characteristics of digital teaching materials to foster an independent attitude towards learning and a sense of self-affirmation in children, including individually optimized AI-based drills and collaborative learning support tools that promote learning among children. It has various functions. NIJIN is developing 11 projects that solve various educational problems such as school refusal, teacher shortages, teacher careers, and the state of schools. One of our projects, “NIJIN Academy,” is an alternative school that provides online classes through the Metaverse school building and an
environment where children of various grades can learn together. In response to the issue of school refusal support, we have partnered with “navima(R)” provided by TOPPAN Holdings and NIJIN’s “NIJIN Academy Metaverse School Building”, a learning place for school refusal support, to provide support for school refusal. We aim to provide a learning environment where each child can learn individually and optimally by verifying the usefulness of using digital drills and developing effective curriculum. ■ Overview of this demonstration Empirical research Empirical research on the use of digital drills in school refusal support period Approximately one year from Friday, September 27, 2024 to the end of September 2025 place Support for individual optimal learning in school refusal support, Utilization of digital drill in metaverse space the purpose Support for individual optimal learning in school refusal support, Utilization of digital drill in metaverse space overview We verified the educational effects of using the digital learning service “navima(R)” on the Metaverse and in support of school refusal in a learning environment in the Metaverse school building at NIJIN Academy, a school that values individuality and independence.
