atest innovations in technology.
As a result
, lectures can no longer be justified in the contemporary world.
This
essay completely disagrees with
this
view and I intend to justify it in the following paragraphs.
First
and foremost, the role of a lecture is not limited up to making data available for the students. They have a crucial role in making the students understand any topic. While taking classes for the pupils, a lecturer keeps every student's requirement in mind and modify its difficulty level as per the aptitude of the students in the class.
For instance
, studies show that the pupils feel much easy to ask a doubt with their teachers as compared to clarifying it through an online search.
Moreover
, because of possible human to human interactions in a class, a teacher can find out where a student is facing a problem, which is impossible if
this
system is replaced by the available technology. On contrary, a number of people are of the opinion, that group teaching in lecture, is old fashioned and it can not be justified in the current technological era. The Multitude of the website is available, where anyone can search for any material, whenever and wherever he/she wants.
However
,
this
logic is not reasonable to stop the traditional group teaching, as most of the people face difficulty in finding out a reliable source of information amongst the numerous online sources.
For example
, approximately 40% of the data available on Wikipedia is not factual and is based on the opinions of unknown persons.
In addition
to that, 30% of the available information on Google can not be trusted and lack proper references. To conclude, while looking superficially it indicates that the digital platforms have the capabilities to surpass the old traditional way of teaching, thorough examination rules out
such
possibilities as human to human interactions are not possible using a computer.
Moreover
, the material available online can not be trusted.
