The computer are widely used in education and some people think teacher are
not play important role in the classroom . to what extend do you agree?
(agree/disagree)
nowadays, the computer is rapidly growing in its popularity in education
for its marvelous functions. however, the problem has become one of whether
teachers or computers enjoy a vital role in education, which has aroused wide
concern in public. yet i am, and probably always will be amazed when i hear
people saying that teachers are no longer important in education with the advent
of computers. deep down, i guess this might be a plausible hypothesis were it
not for the following points.
on a substantive level, it is often the case that teachers can benefit
students in many ways that computers cannot. indeed teachers often bring
students a host of knowledge and ideas out of text books, such as ethics, issues
in human behavior and such kind of things. even if there were no hard evidence
to support the point that teachers are usually serving as the guide for
students, a role which can never be performed by computers, there are plenty of
vivid examples that support it. when i was studying in the high school, one of
my teachers helped me with my study and taught me how to deal with difficulties
in my life as well. so these benefits are impossible to be gained from
computers.
in addition, a more subtle point can be made is that young students are
more susceptible to the adverse influence of computers. it is a general
principle that juveniles usually lack in the sense of judgment to tell right
from wrong. so they may be more likely to be distracted from study by the lure
that comes along with computers. therefore, teachers are superior to computers
in cultivating students.
although it is all very well to suggest that teachers invariably enjoy the
most critical role in fostering young people, let us not lose sight of the
dramatic merits brought on by computers. and computers do open the frontiers of
the development of education.
nevertheless, i am still inclined to take sides with the opinion that
teachers can never give way to computers. as is so often pointed out, the
significant thing is to make computers facilitate teachers' job.
