Slide 4: The Technology of Teaching Teaching Machines

The Technology of Teaching Teaching Machines

Will machines replace teachers?

On the contrary, they are capital equipment to be used by teachers to save time and labor.

In assigning certain mechanizable functions to machines, the teacher emerges in his proper role as an indispensable human being.

He may teach more students than heretofore—this is probably inevitable if the worldwide demand for education is to be satisfied—but he will do so in fewer hours and with fewer burdensome chores.

In return for his greater productivity he can ask society to improve his economic condition.
