Primes

• Futures Literacy
  • Following Miller's (2007) hybrid strategic scenario method, the concept presumes (a) a learner (individual, group, or institution) capable of metacognitive reflection on anticipatory-assumption use, (b) developmental experiences that exercise the capability (not just communicate information about it), and © ongoing integration into work contexts where the capability can be exercised and refined.

    This sourceOriginal articulation of futures literacy as a hybrid scenario-based capability resting on metacognitive reflection on anticipatory assumptions; supports the Structural-Signature presumptions (learner capable of metacognition, developmental experiences, ongoing integration).

  • As Miller (2007) develops in his hybrid scenario method, futures literacy manages the complexity of anticipatory use by building meta-capacity: rather than providing specific methods for specific problems, it develops the capability to select, adapt, and combine methods appropriate to the work at hand.

    This sourceDevelops the meta-capacity to hold multiple future-images ('anticipatory diversity') appropriate to different purposes rather than collapsing to a single image; supports the Manages-Complexity claim.
