will computers replace teachers?
the information and computer technologies have boosted the efficiencyand convenience of people’s work and study.their application in school education has provided teachers and students with new approaches to knowledge and information.but however useful computers are,they are still integrated by man and cannot play the role of human brain.so it is impossible for computers to replace teachers.
i admit that computers benefit students in many ways,they can not 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 encyclopedia.we need students who can tell truth from lies,not download unedited trivia from the internet.we need students who 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would be replaced by computers.instead,they should worry that if they did not adopt new technology,they woud become outdated.faced with the challenge of modern technology,what they should do is to change their attitudes.by learning and using this progressive approach,they can make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.
