As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be
soon no role for teachers in the classroom.
There have been immense advances in
technology in most aspects of people’s lives, especially in the field of
education. Nowadays, an increasing number of students rely on computers for
research and to produce a perfect paper for school purposes. Others have
decided to leave the original way of learning and to get knowledge through
online schools. These changes in the learning process have brought a special
concern regarding the possible decrease of importance of teachers in the
classroom.
Some people believe the role of teachers
started to fade because computers have been helping some students to progress
in their studies quicker compared to studies in an original classroom. For
example, in the same classroom, students have different intellectual capacities,
thus some would be tied to a slow advance in their studies because of others’
incapability of understanding. In this way, pupils could progress in their
acquisition of knowledge at their own pace using computers instead of learning
from teachers.
However, the presence of a teacher is
essential for students because the human contact influences them in positive
ways. Firstly, students realize that they are not dealing with a machine but
with a human being who deserves attention and respect. They also learn the
importance of studying in a group and respect for other students, which helps
them improve their social skills.
Moreover, teachers are required in the
learning process because they acknowledge some students’ deficiencies and help
them to solve their problems by repeating the same explanation, giving extra
exercises or even suggesting a private tutor. Hence, students can have a better
chance of avoiding a failure in a subject.
In conclusion, the role for teachers in
the learning process is still very important and it will continue to be such in
the future because no machine can replace the human interaction and its
consequences.
