Transformative learning, ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, adult learning, individual learningAbstract
Individuals transform their ideas and beliefs through an ongoing reflection based on their experiences which is also the basis of transformative learning as Mendoza (2020) suggests. Since self-reflection and the criticism of personal perspectives and attitudes play an important role in transformative learning, through the learning process which has been divided into ten stages by Mezirow (1991), a more self-aware, personally and professionally developed version of self is reached. This study, by taking transformative learning as its basis, aims to portray the experiences of four individuals from academia concerning their usage of ChatGPT. The experiences are examined separately under certain themes which were; personal learning processes, daily life, professional life, academic life, ethical issues and perception of the future.
