Lesson 10: THE COMPUTER AS TUTOR


SUMMARY:          


          The computer can be a tutor in effect relieving the teacher of many activities in his/her personal role as classroom tutor. It should be made, however that the computer cannot totally replace the teacher since the teacher shall continue to play the major roles of information deliverer and learning environment controller. Even with the available computer and CAI software, the teacher must insure that students have the needed knowledge and skills for any computer activity. The teacher also decide the appropriate learning objectives, plan the sequential and structured activities to achieve the objectives and evaluate the students' achievement by way of tests.


REFLECTION:


          A tutor can also be not human. A tutor can be a thing and that thing is the computer. We are now in a modern world where the use of computer is increasing rapidly. With just one click, access to information is in an instant. And as future teachers, we must be equipped with skills and competency in using the computer. Using computer software that supplements that lesson and act as tutor to students are helpful in the teaching - learning process, and the teacher acts as the facilitator in this kind of instruction.
