Abstract
This study describes the concept of Futures Literacy (FL), identifies the factors and components of this literacy and presents a framework and model of Futures Literacy (FL). To achieve this goal, the Systematic Literature Review (PRISMA) was selected, then 172 articles were found among which 84 were chosen. Using content analysis, significant phrases were extracted. Subsequently, by reviewing the obtained themes several times, 4 factors of Fancy, Training, Thinking, and Usage were identified. Next the components of FL were extracted from these factors along with their indicators. Following, the Futures Literacy Framework (FLF) was proposed, and then using Simultaneous Interpretive Structural Modelling and Weighting (SISMW), the Futures Literacy Model (FLM) was presented and the components were introduced according their importance. FLM has three levels. In the first level, the components of Communication, Dreaming, and Futures Research Methods are the most influential, and in the second level, the components of Learning, Human Agency, and Self-efficacy, and the third level consists of Critical Thinking, Awareness, Anticipation, and Uncertainty. The resulting model can be an utilized for further research in the field of education and advancement of Futures Literacy.
