This is very important question for parent, Teachers as well as Students that can technology replaces schooling and in future children learn things from there homes, there is no need to go to school.
Today we will explore more about this interesting topic and find out the result.
This is 100% true that technology is in every field and growing very fast from last some years also in the field of Education, This is also true that we starts to be dependent on technology for our work and studies.
Understand this with the help on an example- Let us suppose if you are a student and your exams are near and you didn’t have much preparation then what you do?
a- Go to school daily and try to take help from other students.
b- Go to coaching or to your teacher to get notes.
c- search on web for notes and crash course.
d- Pray to God for help.
I am sure most of you choose ‘option c’ because there is a valid reason behind it that -
- you get 24*7 access
- You get a variety of teachers and different ways of teaching you can choose between then .
- Crash courses (whatever teachers teaches in school whole year, student can learn them in 2 months due to crash course facility)
- No need to do homeworks you just need to sit and listen what are they saying, there is no hard and fast rule to practice.
If you get all the facilities at home then you avoid to go to school as it came in mind that it is waste of time to attend 6 hour school as i can do many topics in 6 hours.
So the point i want to prove is that with the advancement of technology our mindset is also changing and we take them quickly.
The reason why we take technology in our life quickly is very simple that we are lazy.
we didn’t want to go to school because what we get in school we can get right in our home.
And also in the period of COVID-19 it became ‘The new Normal’
What are the drawbacks of use of very much technology in the field of education-
- Students didn’t think about solving skill — If a student is solving a problem and he stuck at a steps he tries to think a little and then directly opens phone and search the answer.
- They didn’t take more attention in school as they know they can learn all the things in more nice way.
- Lack of patience- When there is no much use of technology people use books to find solution, and gathering information which takes days, but with the help of technology it takes minutes to find any information in this way student are becaming impatience.
- When we face any problem in questions we use books before technology, by using books we also see some more questions as well but with internet you only see the particular answer, which decreases the success rate in competitive exams.
- Using calculator in practice problems is also not a good thing. it makes mind slow.
It does not mean that we should not use technology, everything is harmful in overuse and also we should not dependent on it.
Now I would like to gave conclusion of the question ‘Can technology replaces school?’
From my point of view as i start observing replacing school is 30% possible in future as schools is also taking initiative to make online classes.
What i think , after some years schools and colleges gave authority to students to choose weather they want to came school or attend class from home.
Now the second question ‘can technology replaces teacher? ‘
The simple answer is NO.
It is not possible to replace teacher by technology, also technology helps teachers connect with students.
you can learn from any teacher around the world, you lives in Australia and you want to study from Europe teacher you can easily do this.
This is the only way technology is connected to teachers.
If we think no teacher and robots (click here to read more about AI )teaches students, what you think? is it possible?
For now it is not possible but it is also not completely impossible , technology and we humans both are not ready for it now, but in future it is not strange to see such technologies.
Responsibilities -
As a parent- If you are parent then you must have knowledge about you child dependence on technology in studies, and to make him understand not to depend too much on technology in studies.
As a Teacher- I think as a teacher you need to make your class more interesting and informative that students says to you to teach more after the period.
As a student- If you are a student than tries to solve your academic problems with books and not with technology, use as less calculator as you can. It seems difficult but i am sure you enjoys it and also you find some more extra information in books while searching for topics.
