The computer is widely used in education,and some people think teachers do
not play important roles in the classroom. To what extend do you agree or
disagree?
Computers nowadays are more and more widely used in education. Hence, some
people claim that teachers are no longer playing important roles in the
classroom. I completely agree with this statement. Although teacher may be more
emotional than computers, the later actually far outdoes in educating students,
for the following three reasons.
First, it is an undoubted fact that computer are more likely to provide
sufficient information to students. Neither a well trained graduate from
education institute nor an experienced teacher can offer more knowledge than an
advanced computer.Human brain is more suitable for creative activities, but not
in conveying information. As a result of the rapid development in technology,
the computer’s capacity of containing information will become much stronger.
Second, computers are more efficient in educating students than teachers,
not only because they will merely make mistakes, but also due to that the will
not feel worn out after a long time of work. It goes without saying that
teachers are some times complained to transfer mistaken messages to students.
And the latter, lack of enough related knowledge, finally become the victims of
such mistakes. Further more, as they were so tired after a whole day working,
teachers are often slow in reaction while asked questions by students.
Computers, which can never effected by emotional factors, have no such
disadvantages.
Last but not least, children are becoming more and more familiar with
computers while they are being taught by this new technology. It’s widely
accepted that computer has become an essential tool for our daily life. Children
could learn how to master it better by the process of being educated by it
rather than taking an intentional class presented by a teacher. Classroom, as
everybody believes, is a place where students learn knowledge and skills, both
academic and practical. So it should be the duty for school to prepare students
for the computer-oriented society
All in all, although teachers still contribute to education, we can’t turn
a blind eye to the fact that they are not important any more compared to another
kind of tutors-computers. |
