What If Teacher was Replaced by Robot?
Teacher profession is a very noble profession. A teacher is usually a highly respected person. A good and wise teacher is not only an example for students in school but a teacher with manners will be respected in an out-of-school environment. Not many people can afford to be good educational teachers.
In modern times like today many jobs have been taken over by robots. For example, used to buy soda in mini market but now buy soda can be done with the help of machine without having to interact with human. Almost all work may already be done by machine or robot. This breakthrough is certainly very remarkable in the field of technology.
The emergence of robots and machines certainly facilitate human work. No wonder if the human work lands gradually taken by the robot. At the factory, robots are more powerful and can do anything. However, whether the teaching profession can be taken over by robots?
The answer alone certainly is not. There are many things a robot can not do. Although robots look accurate in menyampaika material but the robot can not be used to educate children. Robots may be used to teach the material but it can not be done in a long time because the essence of educated not only to be smart but also to be someone who is educated.
Here are some things that will happen if the robot takes the profession of a teacher.
The Classroom Function Becomes Not Perfect
A classroom or a place of learning is not just a place to learn. The classroom is also a place to interact and get to know each other. If the teacher is a human who has feelings then a teacher will easily control the process of social inteeaction. But if the teacher is a robot then it will be difficult because the robot has a limit and can not carelessly improvise.
Educating Functions Unfulfilled
Master is a figure of great authority and a big part in the world of education. A teacher has a role in printing the character of the young generation. So if the teacher educates correctly and inspires his students then the students will be great. This will be difficult to do by robots. Because robots do not have perfect feelings like humans.
No Interactions Using Feelings
In Asia, teachers are likened to third parents. This means that the bonds of students and teachers are very close. Teachers can be places where students complain about things. A good teacher will be the third parent and listen to the students. This can not be done by robots because the robot is a machine.
Robot Does not Understand Mental Problems
In teaching not only convey material about the lesson. A teacher must also be able to enter in the mental and psychological problems of students. Giru must read the attitude and act like a man who has been educated to be a teacher. The programmed robot certainly does not have that power. Classroom will be chaotic if the teacher is unable to control the students.
That's the 4 negative things that will happen if a teacher's position is taken by the robot. Not all jobs can be transferred to the robot. There are some more suitable jobs that human beings have to do.
Robot is very facilitate human work. Robot even more effective and efficient in work. In certain factories or companies the use of robots has been memafi very ordinary things. Robots can work on things without errors. But think carefully whether the robot can educate the younger generation?
