“…43, 145). This tends to undermine stability negatively (Glastra, Hake & Schedler, 2004). Rather than merely building on current practice, the planning stages should take into account the instabilities of the future and the strategic renewal process should embrace these periods and harness the opportunities that they present for change.…”

Considerations of Learning Futures are predicated on recognition of the extreme pace of change in contemporary societies and the need for education systems that prepare learners to participate in such dynamic environments. The precepts of active citizenship, which draw upon democratic and humanistic values to emphasise the importance of relationship building and community mindedness, provide both curriculum content for learners and mechanisms for change in school communities. This paper is an ethnographic evaluation of curriculum and pedagogy that examines the culture and perspectives which support active citizenship at Old Yarranlea State School. The paper proposes a metastrategic framework for implementing change, by developing processes that integrate the physical, intellectual, social and emotional components of the school community in a manner that is culturally inclusive, socially sustainable and engaged in the creation and re-creation of democratic principles. The result is an approach to curriculum planning that develops a unique school vision, identity and infrastructure and an approach to pedagogy that is an expansion and application of the curriculum content itself.

The concept of Learning Futures has far-reaching implications for lifelong learning as a field of practice. In particular, the challenges of Learning Futures underscore the need for professional educators to update their knowledge and skills so that they may be better equipped for their pivotal role in their students' learning and development. This paper considers the problem of educating educators about Learning Futures. It focuses on the design, development and implementation of a postgraduate course in Learning Futures. Considering the challenges posed by globalisation, technological evolution and forces of change, and building upon fundamental work in the area of Learning Futures, this paper examines the strategies used in teaching and learning about theories for Learning Futures. In particular, the paper highlights strategies used to operationalise a variety of learning theories within a single course in order to provide participants with situated experience with these approaches and identifies key questions which indicate shortcomings in the course.

“…Based on a broad sociocultural analysis as well as on the intention to understand individual learning processes, the concept thus provides an alternative way of addressing issues related to policy making (eg. Alheit & Dausien, 2002;Glastra, Hake, & Schedler, 2004).…”

Several tensions between different versions of the concept are recognized, and a wide range of research areas in which the concept has been used are identified and presented.The general idea in the biographical learning tradition regarding the occurrence of general conceptions of one's biography, as well as the idea of narrative coherence, is discussed critically.
