Abstract

Educational futurology is a transdisciplinary science related to the provision of teaching and learning to prepare citizens for future human livelihoods relevant to all contexts in the modern world. Future-oriented education is essential for all teachers because it helps everyone learn how to live in a complex and rapidly changing society, helps students develop a futuristic perspective, and enables students to rationally deal with the uncertainties of the future. This article highlights the capacity of NEXT citizenship to promote lifelong learning skills, including inclusiveness, informedness, engagement, balance, empowerment, and alertness. These capabilities should be included in the tools for strengthening NEXT citizenship. The presentation of tools for harnessing next-generation citizenship in this paper refers to the tools for future science education in the development of massive open online course systems (MOOCs) to promote lifelong learning skills in the 21st century. It is a combination of modern technology and teaching methods through online channels emphasizing accessibility with free or low-cost internet services as a future tool for lifelong learning for NEXT citizens in the next normal life era.
