AN EDUCATIONAL FICTION OF THE FUTURE ADHERING TO SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES

Abstract

The aim of the study was to speculate about the education in the future in terms of students, classrooms, teachers and schools by adhering to science fiction films. The samples of the study comprised 50 science fiction films selected purposefully among motion pictures by two academics from the field of educational sciences, and one expert from the area of cinema and television. In the research, the science fiction films containing the power of thought, biological, space phenomenon and technological subjects were analyzed. The data were analyzed using MAXQDA program. Based on the findings of the study, it was predicted that the school phenomenon would change depending on the development of technology in the future. With the help of VR glasses and fitbit (wearable technology), a teacher would be able to teach in three dimensions by visiting students' homes without leaving their own homes. On the other hand, the necessity of school-like structures in which students could socialize for peer communication seemed inevitable. It could be thought that the idea that science fiction films took the lead of technology was diversified by the acceptance of the society. In this context, it was seen that each science fiction film fulfilled the task of "instilling ideas" on many subjects to the society.
