Bir Simülakr ya da Eğitim Çıktısı Olarak Özgürlük: Jean Baudrillard'ın Simülasyon Kuramı Bağlamında Bir Okuma.

In the research, which is based on the assumption that the human is a material and spiritual whole, it is aimed to reach some educational principles by considering the possibility of overcoming the metastases caused by simulation through education. It can be said that we live in a telematic age created by algorithms and codes, unlike the ages dominated by transcendence and human mind. This age, which is dominated by images, poses its own unique speed and image-related problems. The concept of freedom, which is generally discussed in research on human beings, has been discussed assuming that it is appropriate for the determination of this circumstance. Freedom, which is a concept explained by attributing moral, legal, and political meanings, is generally used in the meanings of liberty, freedom from restraint, and obtaining certain rights. This study has been discussed in line with the understanding of "freedom as the output of an enriched essence", taking into account Baudrillard's situational findings on freedom and benefiting from the possibilities of Turkish. It can be said that Baudrillard, discussing the cybernetic age from a philosophical and sociological perspective, handles the issue with a literary language at least as much as science fiction writers. He is a thinker who gives his own meanings to the concepts of the modern age such as cybernetics, simulation, simulacrum and seduction, and expresses his analysis, presentation and criticism in his own style and language. In this respect, his approaches are the subject of this research. In this study, under the titles 'Jean Baudrillard's View of the Concept of Freedom' and 'The Adventure of Freedom from Authentic Man to Modern Man', his understanding of freedom is presented. In the section titled 'Discussing the Possibility of Reconstructing Freedom', the generally accepted definition of freedom and whether if it is possible to reconstruct it was discussed. This research was carried out based on the thoughts of Baudrillard, a philosopher famous for his criticisms of simulation and modernism, and his views and comments about the modern world and freedom were used as data in the article to identify the problem and derive educational principles. In the study based on the qualitative analysis of the data obtained from the literature review, the person realizes himself between nature and Transcendence through self-education; activities to reduce the attribution of false meanings to concepts; some principles have been identified, such as the development of computational thinking teaching. Since these principles may be useful in the processes of creating and developing a new understanding of education suitable for the metastases of the simulation order and the cybernetic age, the necessity of similar examinations is among the outcomes of the research. According to Baudrillard, the main features of the age we live in are as follows: In his thought, this age exhibits a feature that prevents freedom and distances man from his mind and essence. In this respect, he considers modernity as an age in which the human being is removed from being a creature and is observed to transition to the role of a consumer despite being assigned the role of a subject. In addition, he added that the characteristics of this age are the prioritisation of the body and the subjection of everything to exchange by removing the human being from the mind and soul. According to Baudrillard, it is witnessed that the human being, who took responsibility on himself in the modern period, transfers his responsibility to artificial intelligence in simulation. He thinks that in the age of simulation, the fast global information-communication reveals a single, isolated, and multiidentity human type. In addition, as a characteristic of the simulation age, the fact that those attributed to the referent such as word, concept, situation have no other reference other than themselves can be added to these features. In this context, it can be said that many concepts have undergone a semantic shift or distortion. In Turkish language, the concept of freedom can be understood as the flourishing of the essence. In the study, which is based on the qualitative analysis of the data obtained from the literature review, some principles regarding the problematic of the flourishing of the essence in simulation have been identified. In this context, it is assumed that the principles reached may be useful in the processes of creating and developing a new educational approach suitable for the metastases of the simulation order and the cybernetic age. In this respect, some of the results that should be taken into consideration in order to struggle with the metastases of the simulation age can be summarised as follows: Self-education and making oneself aware of oneself between nature and Transcendence can be considered as a terminal behaviour to get rid of simulation. In this context, the human mind needs to be developed through natural sciences, mathematics and logic. Therefore, it is recommended to create activities to try to reduce the attribution of false meanings to concepts and to improve the teaching of computational thinking. In addition, considering the data in the study, it seems possible to infer that in the cybernetic age, the person begins to move away from wonder, thus limiting the possibility of the emergence of the modern human being or the person who has flourished human essence. As a result, it is concluded that the necessity of creating and developing an educational understanding order the simulation order is obvious. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
