| Abstract: | The purpose of this article is, first, to discuss how images of the future are created and which elements they are built from. Then three main factors of the images - general knowledge, social knowledge and individual identity -are drawn from all of the elements and analysed in detail. Finally a method for constructing a mind map based on these elements - The Future Image Index Map - is described and further tested with empirical material from two groups. The first group consists of 36 Finnish second- and third-level teachers, who wrote personal descriptions, or scenarios, of their ideas about the future of education. The second group is composed of taped thematic interviews made with 24 young Finns. In this article, an image of the future is regarded as a mental tool that deals with possible future states. |
