چکیده

A proper understanding of the teacher's status in the context of technology, especially new technologies such as artificial intelligence, requires an analysis of the philosophy of evolution of technology (nature and aims of technological developments) on the one hand and its relationship with the pedagogy and teacher on the other. In other words, the teacher's activity as a main factor in pedagogy has been a function of the philosophy of technological developments throughout history, and a proper understanding of this activity also requires a precise understanding of the nature and aims of technological developments. Accordingly, here we first refer to the stages of technological evolution and its meaning and functions, and then we discuss the impact of these stages of evolution on the role and activity of the teacher in the pedagogical process. The question that this article wants to answer is whether artificial intelligence, as the last stage of technological evolution that wants to replace the teacher in pedagogy, can replace it or not, and if not, what is the solution for the teacher and artificial intelligence to be able to function simultaneously?
