It’s a hot issue of nowadays
that computers can replace teachers by saying that man is inventing various
technologies in order to facilitate himself or to reduce his burden, then why
can’t computers be a substitute for teachers. A computer can have more
information than a teacher. That means a teacher like anyone can forget things
in his domain because he is a busy person and he has a lot of problems to solve
and he cannot answer at all students questions, but a computer always have
information for the user if the user ask correctly the question and of course if
the computer is able to answer the user’s questions that means the memory of the
computer should be full of information in the respective domain. In this way a
computer could be more helpful than a teacher.
There are three ways to teach: tell someone, show someone or let them do it
themselves. With developments in technology children can do it themselves
earlier and much quicker. But by this humble piece of writing I just want to
make people realize that no matter how vast knowledge a computer can have but it
cannot be better than a teacher as man is no better than His creator than how a
computer can.
I agree that some aspects of the educational system are already provided by the
computer and yes, it is definitely true that you don't need a person to learn
everything - education is a largely personal matter. However, if we eliminate
the teacher-student interaction completely, a part of the educational experience
will be lost. It's not just the act of standing before a class that makes a
teacher a teacher, there's the whole social experience of learning - the working
together, bouncing ideas off of one another, etc. People are always complaining
about the loss of social contact that has come with the age of technology I fail
to imagine what they'd be saying if the computer became a teacher.
Teachers are more essential than computer. Computers are just a thing or a tool
to help teachers use in their teaching role more effectively and efficiency. But
computers can't fill in the role of a teacher. Computers don’t have personality,
mood, or feeling like teachers does. Computers can't discipline the students in
the classroom if the students go out of control. Computers can't comfort a human
soul. Therefore, computers can't replace the role of the teachers.
Man created computer, computer did not create man. No matter how much it tries,
an invention cannot outwit its inventor. Computers can check a paper's spelling
and grammar, but they cannot teach someone style or help clarify an idea. They
can give a grade, but cannot pat someone on the back. They can display a novel
chapter or poem to the screen, but cannot sit in the middle of a group of
children and read it with the right voices.. They can tell a student that his or
her answer is wrong, but cannot wipe away the frustrated tear that may follow.
They can record whether a student is present in class, but cannot ask why the
student looks nervous or angry or depressed. They can print a story that a
student has written, but cannot recognize its potential and encourage the
student to keep writing.
While the computer may offer a correct answer or explanation to students, the
comprehension capability of every student varies from student to student, making
it is impossible for the computer to offer an explanation catered to a student's
particular level of understanding. However, the teacher is able to undertake
this task, as he or she possesses expertise in teaching. For example, when a
teacher discovers that many students cannot understand professional knowledge,
he or she may offer explanatory examples. The computer, however, may only
analyze a question in terms of a simple right or wrong response.
The teachers are invariably responsible for carrying a dual role. Most teachers
act as not only an educator, but also a kind of father or mother-figure in
taking care of students in school. The teacher is able to assist parents in
solving a child's mental problems other than imparting daily knowledge. The
computer, which is purely an algorithmic electronic device, cannot hope to
assist in this regard.
In summary, the computer may not play a major role in education in comparison to
the benefits of a teacher bestows. However, it is critical that teachers improve
their old teaching modes by using computers at some level of educational
teaching.
Teachers not only impart bookish knowledge but also inculcate in the students,
several moral values. This task cannot be performed by any computer.
A slave can never in-cage his master, in the same way, artificial intelligence
cannot replace human intelligence which is the greatest gift of all.
