Harmonizing Tradition with Technology: A Philosophical Exploration of Education

Exploring Traditional Teaching and Technology in Education

Exploring the Intersection of Traditional Teaching and Technology in Education

Aligning traditional teaching methods with education rather than relying solely on technology, this piece explores education from a philosophical perspective, acknowledging the significant role of traditional teaching methods while considering the implications of technology. This title implies an examination of how both traditional and technological approaches can complement each other in education, preserving the essence of traditional teachings while enhancing the educational process with technological advancements.

The Evolution of Classroom Technology

Nowadays, technology has significantly advanced. In the absence of a facilitator or teacher, some school managements are using smart boards to deliver pre-recorded classes.

Reasons for Embracing Technological Solutions

  • To review and replay the content (rote learning)
  • To save money (such as faculty salaries, etc.)
  • To substitute for faculty
  • To encourage memorization for better grades
  • To meet students' requirements (without mentor)
  • To save time
  • To cover the syllabus completely in a short time

The Limitations of Technology in Understanding Individual Student Needs

Typically, there are around 18 pupils in a classroom. Each has individual capacities and abilities. However, the biggest disadvantage of using technology like smart boards with pre-recorded video classes is its failure to understand students' capacities and abilities in the classroom...

Artificial Intelligence tool in Education

  • In 2024, artificial intelligence may be able to understand students' capacities and adjust teaching accordingly.
  • However, in a classroom where 18 to 24 students are present, artificial intelligence fails to detect individual students' understanding levels.

Philosophical Insights on Individualized Education

Plato emphasized the individual differences in pupils and their varying abilities, which are influenced by both heredity and environment...

Rousseau's Perspective on Education: "Rousseau on Education highlights mental individual differences in students, proposing a child-centered approach that values direct experience over rote learning."

"In the world, no two individuals are born alike. Each person distinguishes themselves not only in physical appearance but also in inherent abilities. Each individual inherently possesses certain uniqueness. Education should happen accordingly." - Plato

Conclusion

Plato and Rousseau's philosophical insights emphasize the importance of acknowledging and accommodating the diverse needs and abilities of individual learners in education...

"Even after 100 years, 'no teacher can be replaced with technology.'"
