The world celebrates “Teacher’s Day,” whose role has changed with technology, as the teacher no longer performs his role in education as before, in light of alternative education platforms and websites that explain curricula in a simplified and detailed manner. Will this profession disappear?
Educational expert Dhouqan Obaidat said: “Changing the role of the teacher amid technological and technical transformations is natural,” and pointed out that “every intellectual progress is followed by a change in the role of the teacher.”
According to Obaidat, “Today the teacher is no longer a source of information, and does not perform his job of transmitting it, because information is currently available to students from Internet sources and educational platforms.”
Obaidat points out that students’ ability to obtain information has become better, due to the multiplicity of its sources, saying: “Students today are more capable of producing information than the teacher.”
The educational expert points out that “the changing role of the teacher is linked to changes in societies and to developments in the philosophy of education.”
He explains the difference between the role of the teacher today and in the past, saying: “His job today is to criticize information, scrutinize it, and help students choose appropriate references and sources, nothing more.”
Obaidat believes that artificial intelligence “will eliminate many educational professions, and will reduce the teacher’s current tasks.” He says: “The task of analyzing and producing information from the teacher no longer exists and is necessary in light of artificial intelligence.”
Obaidat adds, “It is natural to change the teaching profession, and if technological development does not abolish it, new alternative jobs will appear.”
As for the technical expert and university doctor, Zaid Rababah, he goes on to point out that “development will not eliminate the role of the teacher, but it has begun to change his roles.”
Rababah believes that “teachers must adapt their educational tools for the future,” and believes that the Corona pandemic has had the greatest impact in moving the education sector from one level to another in all countries of the world.
Rababaa says: “The current and future generations will be smarter than the previous generations.” Therefore, the teacher must keep pace with advanced technologies and modern tools, and understand the students’ new environment and their global culture.
As some supporters of the use of artificial intelligence in education believe, the technical expert believes that the technology will be able to “create good educational content that is appropriate for future generations.”
Rababa added, “Technological development will enable us to establish fully electronic universities and schools, meaning that the role of the teacher has become limited to preparing and creating the appropriate electronic environment for students and humane follow-up of each student.”
He stresses that the teacher must focus on acquiring “programming, artificial intelligence, modern education tools, and artificial intelligence applications from Google or Microsoft” and others. Agencies.
