As there have been immense advances affecting most people’s lives, technological inventions including computers and the Internet have been utilized in education. The issue of whether or not teachers’ involvement in school is more significant has triggered much concern in public sphere. Although it can be argued that teachers play an indispensable role in class, within reasonable bounds, some people believe that the high technology provides a wide range of educational advantages.
Proponents of the importance of schools and teachers often point out that the best outcome of education for children comes from precisely provided feedback from their teachers. According to the research conducted by the Department of Education in Australia, the face to face teaching style enhances levels of effectiveness in learning process by motivating children and providing educational diagnosis and different approaches so as to obtain the highest result in education.
However, there are a number of benefits in uing computers and the Internet. First of all, intellectual programs can be used to obtain more objective outcomes in teaching children than teachers or schools. It is because education sectors run with subjective opinion from teachers in terms of guiding and educating children. Furthermore, by providing similar explanation and practices, young students with intellectual deficiencies will be never left behind school, which means all students can have primary education equally and learn productively. Another merit is that, with accessibility of the Internet, children can use the web in order to search and exchange information they want by overcoming geographical barriers.
To sum up, while teachers and schools are one of the most influential elements in learning process for children to create high quality in education, computers and the Internet can be also used to increase objective outcomes in education as well as sharing other people’s thinking and ideas no matter where they are. I confirm that those methods of education should be used altogether and they need to support each other’s drawback. |
