Will Computers Replace Teachers?

The information and computer technologieshave boosted the efficiency and convenience of people’s work and study. Theirapplication in school education has provided teachers and students with newapproaches to knowledge and information. But however useful computers are, theyare still integrated by man and cannot play the role of human brain. So it isimpossible for computers to replace teachers.

I admit that computers benefit students inmany ways, they can not do their assignments with the help of appropriatesoftware. They also access the Internet for research and entertainment. But asSpencer said, “education has for its object the formation of character.” Thisis also the essence of the quality-oriented education advocated by ourgovernment. It aims at producing well-rounded students but only developingtheir ability to perform well on academic examinations. We need students whocan think creatively, not cut and paste their essays out of softwareencyclopedia. We need students, who can tell truth from lies, not downloadunedited trivia from the Internet. We need students who communicateface-to-face with others, not hide behind emails. These are the very aspectswhere teachers can provide help and guidance.

So teachers needn’t fear they would bereplaced by computers. Instead, they should worry that if they did not adoptnew technology, they would become outdated. Faced with the challenge of moderntechnology, what they should do is to change their attitudes. By learning andusing this progressive approach, they can make their teaching more interactiveand effective.
