Abstract (English)

Transhumanism which is based on cognitive and physiological transformation of human beings claims that humans will be more excelled with high technology facilities. It is foreseen that in the close future, human's knowledge level will increase not only by means of artificial intelligence applications but also reformations on human brain and genes. As a matter of the fact, this process will change the structure and the content of the education system. Taking account of the fact that transhumanism will alter the structure and content of the education system what steps needs to be taken should be considered. Furthermore, this process will result in some positive and negative consequences. The most remarkable negative effect is that it will create serious socio economic and socio cultural gaps between countries, societies and individuals. There will be more yawning gap between the societies in addition to using artificial intelligence applications, whose genes are reformed, whose minds are empowered and the societies who remain deprived of these opportunities. It seems that the terms "developed-undeveloped country" or "primitive-modern country" will be deepen and become a reality. In this article it will be mentioned the probable effects of transhumanism, which will have a serious impact on education.

Abstract (Turkish)

İnsanın bilişsel ve fizyolojik dönüşümünü esas alan transhümanizm yüksek teknolojinin imkanlarıyla insanın çok daha mükemmel bir forma evrileceğini iddia etmektedir. Yalnızca Yapay Zekâ’nın (YZ) uygulamalarıyla değil aynı zamanda insan geninde ve beyninde yapılacak iyileştirmelerle bilgi düzeyinde bir artış̧ gerçekleşeceği öngörülmektedir. Bu süreç̧, hâliyle eğitimin içeriğini ve yapısını da değiştirecektir. Eğitimin içeriği ve yapısının değişeceği dikkate alınarak neler yapılması gerektiği üzerinde düşünülmesi gerekir. Ayrıca bu süreç̧ hem olumlu hem olumsuz anlamda birtakım sonuçlar doğuracaktır. Bu olumsuz sonuçlardan en önemlisi ülkeler, toplumlar ve bireyler arasında ciddi sosyo-ekonomik ve sosyo-kültürel farklar oluşmasıdır. YZ uygulamalarını kullanan, geni iyileştirilmiş̧ ve zihni güçlendirilmiş̧ bireylere sahip toplumlar ve ülkeler ile bu imkanlardan yoksun bireylere sahip toplum ve ülkeler arasındaki uçurum daha da derinleşecektir. "Gelişmiş̧-gelişmemiş̧" veya "ilkel-modern ülkeler" ifadeleri daha da derinleşecek ve gerçeklik kazanacak gibi görünmekte. Bu makalede eğitim üzerinde büyük etkisi olacak olan transhümanizmin eğitime olan muhtemel etkilerine değinilecektir.
