PTE essay- As computers are being used more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers

by Gaurav Saini ESL trainer
As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon
no role for teachers in the classroom.
There have been immense advances in technology in most aspects of people’s
lives, especially in the field of education. Nowadays, an increasing number of
students rely on computers for research and to produce a perfect paper for
school purposes. Others have decided to leave the original way of learning and
to get knowledge through online schools. These changes in the learning
process have brought a special concern regarding the possible decrease of
the importance of teachers in the classroom.
Some people believe the role of teachers started to fade because computers
have been helping some students to progress in their studies quicker than
when compared with an original classroom. For example, in the same
classroom, students have different intellectual capacities, thus some would be
tied to a slow advance in their studies because of others’ incapacity of
understanding. In this way, pupils could progress in their acquisition of
knowledge at their own pace using computers instead of learning from
teachers.
However, the presence of a teacher is essential for students because human contact influences them in positive ways. Firstly, students realize that
they are not dealing with a machine but with a human being who deserves
attention and respect. They also learn the importance of studying in group and
respect other students, which helps them to improve their social skills.
Moreover, teachers are required in the learning process because they
acknowledge some student’s deficiencies and help them to solve their
problems by repeating the same explanation, giving extra exercises or even
suggesting a private tutor. Hence, students can have a bigger chance not to fail
in a subject.
In conclusion, the role of teachers in the learning process is still very
important and it will continue to be in the future because no machine can
replace human interaction and its consequences.
