Most schools and universities have already adopted computers in their teaching process. Many people assume that computers will replace teachers in the foreseeable future and teachers will no longer be necessary. I completely disagree with this view and believe that teachers will always be of great importance in the sphere of education.
On the one hand, computers undeniably have a positive impact on the learning process. Firstly, they help facilitate the pace at which children assimilate the information. Even though graphics and visual demonstrations have already been introduced in classrooms, yet they are still in a small number and not be done on a frequent basis. Computers and projectors could address this problem, and serve a perfect demonstrator for what has just been learned in their lessons through lively images and videos. Secondly, enrichment evening classes are no longer needed, as learners who do not catch up in class could make use of online courses in a more flexible way than that of any other supplementary courses.
However, computers cannot supplant teachers for many good reasons. Teachers do not only impart knowledge to their students, but they also serve as a role model and cultivate students’ potential. Impulsive and impressionable as they are, children are vulnerable to anti-social behavior and wrongdoings. Without sufficient disciplinary and guidance, they are likely to grow into violent and immoral adults. Moreover, students need a person to chart their learning progress and offer them valuable advice. Nevertheless, this cannot be done in a class that is completely dominated by computers and other such technological devices. Despite advancement in the algorithms that give computers the capacity to assessment, it is genuine advice from the people who students respect that makes a real difference in their learning progress.
In conclusion, computers definitely have a beneficial impact on education. However, teachers are irreplaceable companions of students in their learning course.
