A Day in the Life:
Student A was 16 years old.
"Do you think AI will eventually replace teachers?" I asked, curious about his opinion.
"No way," he frowned.
"Why not? If AI can answer all your questions, maybe you won't need teachers anymore," I replied casually.
"That's not gonna happen. You're overthinking it. If you weren't here with me, I wouldn't even bother studying," he said, matching my tone.
"I could always put a robot here to study with you," I teased, raising an eyebrow.
"No thanks, robots aren’t my kind. I want a real person to study with me." He was serious as he shared his thoughts.
"Besides, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have chosen this path. I would've given up and gone to a vocational school," he looked at me earnestly.
I was a bit surprised because his family owns a company, so it wasn't like he lacked resources. Why would he feel this way?
"Why do you think that?" I asked, genuinely confused.
"You're the only one who cares about what I think. Isn't that enough to explain a lot?"
"At home, I'm just there to make my mom proud and to be the future heir to my dad's company. If I hadn't met you, I probably would've rebelled and run away."
"So, no—there's no way you'll ever be out of a job! I even hope you can be with me all the way from sixth grade to senior year." He laughed, as if the thought was completely ridiculous.
Student's Opinion:
To sum up his thoughts:
- He needs someone to be there for him, and it has to be a human.
- The person needs to speak in a way that’s clear and makes sense.
- The person should offer different perspectives.
- The person should be patient and kind.
- The person should correct mistakes gently without hurting a teenager's self-esteem.
- The person should be fair and just.
- The teacher should recognize the student's efforts (and not dismiss them just because of poor test scores).
- Grades shouldn't be the main focus, as students don't want to feel like they are just tools. The focus should be on a student's attitude towards learning.
- When parents criticize them, the teacher should provide emotional support and help them adjust their study plans (thought → action → improvement).
- To be able to provide long-term companionship.
In Conclusion:
It seems I won't be out of a job anytime soon. AI probably won't be able to handle all ten of these things in the near future.
日常
學生A是一位高一男生
有一天，我和學生A聊到這個話題，以下是其中一個小部分
「你覺得，之後老師會被AI取代嗎？」我想知道學生的意見
「怎麼可能？」他皺了皺眉毛說道
「為什麼不可能，如果AI可以解答你的問題。你可能就不需要老師了。」我淡淡的回答
「老師，不可能，你想太多。如果你不陪我，我才不會坐在這裡唸書哩」他也淡淡地回答
「我可以在這裡放一個仿真機器人陪你念書。」我挑了挑眉頭
「才不要，機器人跟我不同族。我要人類陪我念書，而且要講人話」(很多人類不講人話，講的東西我聽不懂) 他嚴肅地表達了他的意見
「而且，如果不是你，我才不會選擇念書這條路。我應該早就放棄了，我應該會選高職。」他很認真的看著我
我有點驚訝，因為他家裡是開公司的，應該不缺資源，怎麼會這麼想？
「你怎麼會這麼想？」我有點困惑
「也就只有你在乎我怎麼想了，這難道還不能說明什麼嗎？」
「在家裡，我就是負責讓母親炫耀、負責繼承父親公司的工具人。如果我沒有你，我可能會很叛逆的離家出走。」
「所以，老師你不可能失業啦！我還希望你能從我小六陪我一路到高三哩」他笑出聲，好像覺得這個問題很荒謬
學生意見
總結一下學生意見
- 學生要有人陪，而且限定同種族
- 要講人話──講話要讓人聽得懂的 (不要講太多專業術語，要生活化)
- 可以給人不同思維的
- 有耐心的、溫柔的
- 講話比較委婉的，不傷青少年自尊心的，但又會去糾正的老師
- 處事正直
- 要會肯定學生努力的老師 (不能段考沒考好，就不肯定學生努力了)
- 不要太重成績，學生會覺得自己工具人，要強調學習態度
- 學生受父母責難時，要會安撫學生心理，並調整讀書計畫的老師 (思維→實際行動→增進實力)
- 要可以長期的陪伴
總之
看來，我短期內並沒有失業的困擾
