Answer:
It is a much known fact that in this modern age, technology is replacing almost everything. We do not need papers and pens, as software can be used to write on, we do not need physical books because of the advent of e-books and PDFs. So, the question arises – Can this modern technology replace teachers too? Is this technology sophisticated enough to teach children the way virtual teachers do? Is the need of human teachers being eliminated?
Everyone has a different perception. But what I believe is that the answer to the above stated arguments is a big ‘No’. Technology cannot replace a teacher. Technology is merely an augmentation to a teacher. It can help the process of learning, but it certainly cannot replace the role of the teacher.
Technology can make it easy to get educated by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teacher. Even in online courses, we see that teachers are necessary to give lectures, whether in the form of videos, tutorials, Skype sessions, etc. Children still need to learn computers to operate those online sessions, which of course are taught by teachers.
It is significant that we remember, a teacher is more than just a facilitator of knowledge. A teacher also acts as a guide, a mentor and an inspiration for students, a role that cannot be replaced by technology of any kind. Taking critical skills into account like decision making, time management etc, a child needs a teacher as the technology cannot teach these human skills.
It is much obvious that technology is assisting students in their learning and it is playing a crucial role in the field of education. But, as of now, it does not have the power to replace teachers because human interaction cannot be replaced by computers and human skills cannot be taught by technology.
Explanation:
No, I would never like to be taught by a mechanical teacher because a mechanical teacher cannot make teaching interesting or joyful to the pupils. I am supposed to sit in the room alone to complete my homework. There is no enriched activity. He guided me according to adjusted codes. This method of teaching is monotonous and boring to me. Besides, he has no feelings and sentiments. He does no have the ability to understand the psychology of a pupil. On the other hand, I like today’s human teacher who looks into the overall development of the child. In the classroom, I can enjoy fun with classmates. Moreover, today’s school is a lovely place because here method of teaching is joyful and stress-free
