Technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in the world today. In the not too distant future, technology will comletely replace the teacher in the classroom. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
The use of technology is increasing rapidly in the modern world. Growing technological influence can even seen in the
classroom
. Despite this
, I disagree that machinery will completely replace human teachers in the foreseeable future. Analysing the inability of an automation-driven teacher
to both cater to student learning needs and instil motivation will show this
.
Firstly
, a teacher
who is powered by artificial intelligence would have difficulty interpreting the educational needs of a classroom
of students. For example
, Honda Asimov, one of the world's most advanced robots, has trouble distinguishing simple human emotions. If today's most advanced artificial intelligence cannot categorise these basic physical cues, it is difficult to believe that robots could be capable of altering study plans and teaching styles in a dynamic classroom
setting. Thus
, this
makes it clear that a technology-driven teacher
is not going to be operational anytime in the near future.
Secondly
, a robotic teacher
would not be able to establish the emotional connection needed to motivate students. The American scientific theory of education is a good example here. This
widely supported theory argues that young learners are most motivated when they share an emotional relationship with their instructor. As most would agree expecting children to form emotional ties to machinery is unrealistic, the argument that machinery will replace the teacher
in the classroom
can be debunked.
In summary, a robotic teacher
would learn the classroom
dynamism and emotional intelligence needed to be an effective designer. Thus
, it is clear why having a class run entirely by a machine is an idea that will not be realised anytime soon. As this
essay has shown, computer technology will not replace traditional human teachers in the foreseeable future.Submitted by i.nuraliyev on
