Robots are now being used in the education system. They are not replacing the human teachers but are collectively working with them to enhance the student learning experience.
Fremont, CA: As robots are becoming more intelligent and capable of performing human actions, they are widely adopted by the education sector. Artificial Intelligence has a lot of scope in the education sector. AI tutors can enhance the learning process for the students and help teachers by providing insights about student performance. Some experts claim that robotics will be used in every classroom in the coming years.
Here are some fundamental roles that robots perform in the education sector:
Having clear objective
A robot is a machine, and it can be specified with a learning objective. It can deliver lessons precisely according to that objective, unlike humans who can sometimes go off the track, because human minds are prone to get distracted, which can keep the learning objective unfulfilled.
Repetitive tasks
Robots are good at performing repetitive and monotonous tasks. For humans, it can be tiring and boring to do a single task repeatedly. For example, checking the assignments of fifty students assigned the same topic can be hectic and time-consuming for a human. Modern robotics can check and grade all the projects in much less time and with higher accuracy.
Student level interaction
Robots can personalize the lessons according to each student’s capacity. This can be a challenging task for a teacher to do. With personalized lessons, students can learn at their individual pace without any hurry or shame for not catching up as quickly as other students. A robot will never lose its patience with a student or judge them based on their learning capacities.
Encourage student participation
Robots can encourage students to participate in the learning process actively. It keeps students engaged and motivated by continuously involving each student in everyday class activity without any bias. High student engagement can, in return, help the students to reach their learning objectives faster.
Feedback
Robots are capable of offering deep insights and help teachers by providing feedback on student progress. These feedbacks keep teachers informed and help them to improve their performance and also make appropriate changes in lessons according to the student’s needs. It not only helps teachers to do their jobs effectively but also helps students with their overall learning experience.
