Experimental Research on the Current Development Status and Transformation Potential of Futures Literacy among Primary and Secondary School Teachers in China:Based on the Futures Literacy Laboratories in Shanghai and Chengdu
Futures Literacy is crucial for primary and secondary school teachers,influencing their perspec-tives on the future,learning,and education.This study conducted a"Futures Literacy Laboratories"with the theme of"Reimagining Futures Learning in 2050"for primary and secondary school teachers in Shanghai and Chengdu,and conducted qualitative research based on the laboratory data.The research found that the current de-velopment status of Futures Literacy among primary and secondary school teachers in the two cities is character-ized by holding positive but powerless views of the future.These views on futures learning are deeply influenced by policy discourse,professional terminology,audiovisual media,and daily experiences,indicating a lack of aware-ness of a certain level of autonomous thinking and judgment among primary and secondary school teachers.How-ever,surprisingly,as the laboratory progressed,primary and secondary school teachers began to surpass current popular futures discourses,demonstrating the ability to critically examine current issues and reconstruct new types of actions.This indicates the enormous potential of Chinese teachers to explore the path of futures learning inno-vation beyond existing experiences.The research results also underscore the necessity of cultivating futures litera-cy among Chinese primary and secondary school teachers,and the Futures Literacy Laboratories will be a valu-able tool for this purpose.
