THE COMPUTER AS A TUTOR

Do you believe that CAI in some future can replace teachers in the classroom?


          Technology is developing so rapidly that some activities of human depend on it. One of the greatest discoveries in the field of technology is the computer which is used in different ways. Some of its application is for instruction, searching information, and communication which are very relevant in Education.
              As a computer become an effective way of learning process, teachers in digital world used it as a tool for instruction to satisfy the needs of the students in learning technology. Thus, computer-aided instruction can be used as a substitute for teachers in a learning environment. Likewise some countries are in favor with the use of embedded-robot to serves as a facilitator and substitute for a teacher which can aid also in teaching-learning process that is manipulated by a programmer ( or the teacher as well). This programmed robot substitute as a teacher in the classroom but cannot replace on how a teacher manage the learning environment, it is only used to teach and facilitate but not to do the whole task of a teacher. It is believe that CAI in some future time can replace a teacher to employ teaching-learning process and as another development in the field of technology and education. In the modern time where the learners are now introduce with the technology, teachers must cope with a form of instruction aided by computers. Thus, this computer-assisted instruction is an effective relieving of the teacher in many activities in the classroom as a tutor.
                  The principle of CAI says that, “Computer cannot totally replace the teacher since he shall continue to play the major roles of information provider and learning environment controller,” which means even if we use CAI as a form of instruction, the teacher must continue in providing information and manage classroom environment. Therefore, in employing CAI in the classroom, a teacher must continue as an information provider and classroom manager.
