Mapping Futures Literacy: Bibliometric Analysis and Future Research Directions

Year 2024, Volume: 14 Issue: 3, 414 - 437, 30.09.2024

Abstract

Futures literacy is becoming a critical skill that includes individuals' abilities to understand, synthesize, and evaluate information in a rapidly changing world. This article aims to examine research trends and future research directions in the field of futures literacy. This article contains a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of futures literacy using the R program and VOSviewer tools with the Biblioshiny application of the bibliometrix package. This study identified 200 relevant studies published in the Scopus database until December 2023. As a result of the filtering, 87 relevant studies conducted between 2009 and 2023 were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the United Kingdom is the most cited country and leads the way in international cooperation efforts. “Poli R.” was determined as the most published author. Journals such as “Futures”, “European Journal of Futures Research” and “Journal of Futures Studies” stand out among the most published ones. The most frequently used keywords include “future prospect”, “literacy” and “learning”. The study results provide researchers and practitioners in the field of futures literacy with important insight into the current status, outstanding studies, and potential future developments. It also provides a comprehensive view of the importance of futures literacy, shedding light on future research directions.

Abstract

Gelecek okuryazarlığı, hızla değişen bir dünyada bireylerin bilgiyi anlama, sentezleme ve değerlendirme yeteneklerini içeren kritik bir beceri haline gelmektedir. Bu makale, gelecek okuryazarlığı alanındaki araştırma eğilimlerini ve gelecekteki araştırma yönlerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu makale, bibliometrix paketinin Biblioshiny uygulamasıyla R programı ve VOSviewer araçları kullanılarak gelecek okuryazarlığının kapsamlı bir bibliyometrik analizini içermektedir. Bu çalışma, Aralık 2023'e kadar Scopus veri tabanında yayınlanmış 200 ilgili çalışmayı belirlemiştir. Filtreleme sonucunda 2009-2023 yılları arasında yapılmış 87 ilgili çalışma analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda Birleşik Krallık, en çok atıf alan ülke olarak uluslararası iş birliği çabalarında öncülük etmektedir. En çok yayınlanan yazar olarak “Poli R.” belirlenmiştir. En çok yayınlananlar arasında “Futures”, “European Journal of Futures Research” ve “Journal of Futures Studies” gibi dergiler öne çıkmaktadır. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler arasında “future prospect”, “literacy” ve “learning” yer almaktadır. Çalışma sonuçları, gelecek okuryazarlığı alanındaki araştırmacılara ve uygulayıcılara mevcut durum, en önemli çalışmalar ve potansiyel gelecekteki gelişmeler hakkında önemli içgörüler sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca, gelecek okuryazarlığının önemine dair kapsamlı bir görüş sunarak gelecekteki araştırma yönlerine ışık tutmaktadır.
