摘要

「未來學」提供吾人對於未來思考的一個新領域。此一學門在新的紀元中地位大幅提升。此乃因為它可以提供吾人認識未來，發現未來可能，進而協助吾人掌控及創造未來的助益。
本論文的主要研究目的有三，是：〔1〕探討「未來學」的意涵及其努力與貢獻；〔2〕提供「未來學」的教學與研究範疇，以做為「未來學」核心課程規畫基礎；〔3〕呈現教學經驗以做為教學的參攷。
未來學家托弗勒嘗言，「教育源於未來的意象，所有教育也創造了未來的意象」。「未來學」不僅提供教師課室的教育內容，而且也有助於學生生涯的未來。

The Future Studies is a new field of thinking about alternative futures. Its status is more important in the New Era, because it aims to demystify the future, make possibilities for the future more known to us, and increase as well as create human control over the future.
This paper attempts to bring the view and function of the social convulsive change, and fulfill the three main purposes: (1) to show what the Futures Studies is and its effects; (2) to contribute the teaching instrument and the category that could be used as a basic text for the core course in the Futures Studies; and (3) to provide my teaching experience as one of the practical classroom guides
A. Toffler wrote, ”All education spring from images of the future and all education creates images of the future.” Futures Studies offers not only an educational context for teachers in the classroom, but the special interests of the career future for students.
