Robots will soon take over the world of education and
introduce more personalized teachings. According to Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor
of the University of Buckingham predicted that soon intelligent machines which
would be able to adapt to learning pace and style of individual students would
render traditional teaching methods redundant. He believes that the transition
would come into effect over a period of 10 years. He also predicted that school
teachers would be reduced to little more than teaching assistants.
As reported by Telegraph, Sir Anthony said that the AI or so
called 'Inspirational Robots' would eliminate the necessity to group children
in classrooms and children could be educated as per their pace. These robots
would be able to identify facial expressions of children in a classroom and
assess a child's brain and adapt teaching methods as per individual requirements.
This, he said, would allow pupils to learn new lessons at their own pace
instead of being a part of a class.
He said that such a method of teaching would open the
possibility of Eton and Wellington education for everyone. He said that the
impact of these programmes being developed at Silicon Valley will be huge,
something that would surpass industrial revolution or any other technological
innovation we have seen thus far.
Sir Anthony Seldon is a contemporary historian who has
written biographies of David Cameron, Tony Blair, John Major and Gordon Brown.
His next book which is about the revolutions in the education, "The Fourth
Revolution" will come out next year.
Sir Anthony said that machines would present challenges to
an individual based on their interest and their level of expertise. He said
that such technologies were already being used in transforming schools on the
West Coast of US.
Apart from Mathematics and Science, experts believe that
soon algorithms would be developed to aid in teaching Humanities too.
