This chapter contains the results of strand one Scenarios of Future Schooling, Futures Thinking. The iterative mixed methods
methodology study was used to answer the research questions in strand one:
RQ1: How will participants respond to
the scenarios as constructed in the OCED six Schooling for Tomorrow scenarios for the future of schooling and
the HolonIQ five scenarios for the Future of Learning and Talent?’
RQ2: What does this suggest concerning
participants’ perceptions, knowledge and values relating to future schooling?
RQ3: What does this suggest for policy development and change in Australian schools?
This chapter also includes a discussion that shows the analysis conducted was consistent with the strand’s methodology approach, and how the analysis ties back to the research questions. Additionally, this chapter includes sample demographics, using tables to complement the summary. The process used to analyse transcripts from the participants conducted to uncover codes and themes
is described in detail in chapter three. At each level of analysis, constant comparison was used to distil the data further, until themes emerged from the data. Included in the chapter are tables and graphics used to present detailed code and theme data, as well as graphics and vignettes from the individual interviews used to emphasise key themes and the resultant theory. The Draft Chapter 4 will be updated in 2022 to include the data analysis of strand two of the research study The Emerging Forms of Learning.
