This article focuses on examining the parallels between the recent discussion on futures literacy as human capability and the longer tradition of futures education as a means to enhance the individual’s capacity to use the future. Merging these two lines of discussion with transformative educational theory, we proceed to propose a conceptual model for transformative futures learning and a new 21st century futures paradigm for educational institutions. Transformative futures learning, as we define it, is aimed at changing the frames of reference that define how people engage with the future. The model we propose takes a holistic approach to human learning, in which the aim is to develop the individual’s cognitive, motivational and action-oriented faculties of engaging with the future. The article is based on a review and analysis of futures education, transformative learning and futures literacy theories.

本文重点研究最近关于未来素养作为人类能力的讨论与作为提高个人利用未来能力的手段的未来教育的悠久传统之间的相似之处。将这两条讨论线与变革性教育理论相结合，我们着手提出变革性未来学习的概念模型和教育机构的新 21 世纪未来范式。正如我们所定义的，变革性未来学习旨在改变定义人们如何参与未来的参考框架。我们提出的模型对人类学习采取整体方法，其目的是发展个人的认知能力、动机能力和面向未来的能力。
