Robot teachers
Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
In some cases, robots might perform better than teachers, because robots are always available when you need to ask about something not like teachers. In my view, I see that teachers need a robot to assist them in their work, for instance, they can adopt the idea of helping with reviewing their assignments and schedules!.
Hello, in my opinion, this is a 50/50 text. The text is okay, but the questions are kind of a scam because the answers are difficult to understand. I think robots are happy and teachers are angry with the world. I disagree with Anthony Seldon because he thought the robots will take over the world in 2027. It is currently 2026 and the only robots that exist that I know of, can only dance and fall to the floor. In conclusion, if the text questions were not confusing, then the text would be better. Thank you for the scam!
Nice
I think being an empathetic teacher is challenging because students have different levels and needs. While many fields have developed rapidly, education has changed more slowly. Robot teachers could introduce new ideas that support teachers and help students learn more efficiently
Would you like to have a robot as a teacher?
For me, it's really important to take advantage of what robots or AI can do. As someone who loves to learn in flexible, quick, and effective way, I genuinely enjoy using AI. But along the time, I realized what's my real purpose in learning. Since I will work with real people, i need real human's feedback and advice. So, my final thought is to take both in balance, so i can get more variety and expansion in my learning resources.
I prefer to have a real teacher, but we cannot escape from technology.
Now, with AI, everyone has a robot in their phone or laptop.
We can use AI as a teacher. For example, I correct my writing with AI, and similarly, many language students use AI as a conversation partner.
I don't agree with the question, because the bond that forms between two people is something innate to human beings, but I still consider robots important in the sense that they can provide support to teachers, so that teachers can reduce their academic load and get a little more rest, both cognitively and physically.
Would you like to have a robot as a teacher?
No, I wouldn't like to have a robot as a teacher because I strongly believe that human connection is important for enhancing learning; teachers can understand your problems and doubts in a way that a robot never will.
At this moment is a beautiful tool but as a teacher---- I don't think so --- Is not the same stuff and it is not imposible replace that area or job
