The document discusses developing a preferred futures perspective in technologies education. It aims to conceptualize more just and sustainable human and planetary futures by developing knowledge and skills in exploring probable and preferred futures scenarios. Students learn to understand the dynamics of human, social, and ecological systems and their influence on alternative futures, while also developing a sense of responsibility and action toward creating better futures through techniques like trend analysis, environmental scanning, visioning, and backcasting.
