Education cannot be Mechanized
The boom of online courses, where anyone can learn
from the comfort of one’s own home at their own chosen time is the main cause.
No matter how advanced or smart a computer program
is, it can never come close to the knowledge and life experience a teacher
brings. Several kinds of research have been conducted and it has been proven
repeatedly that teachers bring about a change, which no technology can. A
teacher provides guidance and mentors a student. They are the role models for
the students who set an example for them towards a brighter future. The trust
and bond can never be achieved through virtual learning but can create the
perfect learning environment between a teacher and student.
Technology in education is certainly changing the
way students learn, but it cannot be termed as a replacement for teachers. It cannot
inspire students, help them through their struggles, help them fight back, and
stand up. However, it can only be a helping factor to learn, but cannot replace
the knowledge and experience that come with a teacher.
Technology in the education sector is undoubtedly a
boon for many. On one hand, it does make learning easy for students but on the
other hand, it eases the teaching process for the teachers. Come what may how
advanced the technology gets, the fact is that it can never fill the role of a
teacher.
