Computers Won’t Replace Teachers The information and computer technologies have boosted the efficiency and convenience of people’s work and study. Their application in school education has provided teachers and students with new approaches to knowledge and information. There is a heated discussion about whether computers will replace teachers. Some supporters hold the view that computers provide different online teaching and students can get all-round development. While the opponents believe that teachers teaching is irreplaceable because they can teach children the values of life. Computers are only cold devices that will affect children’s ability to have face-to-face communication. In my opinion, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers.
I admit that computers benefit students in many ways, they can do their assignments with the help of appropriate software. They also access the Internet for research and entertainment. But as Spencer said, “education has for its object the formation of character.” This is also the essence of the quality-oriented education advocated by our government. It aims at producing well-rounded students but only developing their ability to perform well on academic examinations. We need students who can think creatively, not cut and paste their essays out of software encyclopaedia. We need students who can tell truth from lies, not download unedited trivia from the Internet. We need students who can communicate face-to-face with others, not hide behind emails. These are the very aspects where teachers can provide help and guidance.
So teachers needn’t fear they would be replaced by computers. Instead, they should worry that if they did not adopt new technology, they would become outdated. Faced with the challenge of modern technology, what they should do is to change their attitudes. By learning and using this progressive approach, they can make their teaching more interactive and effective.
