I opine, it is always better to learn by a teacher than learning by own self. Learning in isolation may not be as accurate as taught by a highly qualified teacher or professor of that subject. Not to forget, a concept wrongly perceived and applied shall be disastrous.
No doubt technology has extensively advanced in almost all aspects of our lives including education. Now many students rely more on computers for research project and dissertations. The students now opt for online way of learning. Said change in the learning process has become a cause of concern about the decline in importance of teachers.
However, the presence of a teacher is essential for students because the human contact and personal touch are very essential in effective communicating and receiving. This has a positive impact on students. Mainly students realize that they are not dealing with some nonliving object rather they are dealing with a human being an emotional creature who gives love and respect and vice versa. They also learn the importance of studying in group and thus improve on human relation skills and social skills.
Some feel that the role of teachers has faded because of introduction of computers. Computers help students to learn fast and progress in their studies as compared to classroom. Not to forget, computer operation is also taught by teachers. A teacher very well knows the strengths and weaknesses of the students and guides them to overcome their weaknesses and strengthen the strengths. This optimizes the chances of success of students.
In conclusion, teachers are important in learning process and no machine can replace them. Last but not least “A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others”. Author Unknown.
