A recent study conducted in Spain has shown positive effects of robots in schools. The machines were programmed to recognize the pupil’s emotions and then fine tune the material to their emotional states. Although students gave positive feedback, teachers do not have to fear for their jobs since the Spanish pupils still felt that they would have learnt more with their human teacher.
No other industry is growing as fast as technology and we should not seal our children off this progress. However, we feel that it is important to bear in mind that education solely built on machines is not viable at all and highly qualified teachers will always play the main part in the children’s education.
