Role of Personal Aptitudes and Macro Working Areas in Education Systems Renewal

The current social and economic crisis and the ICT revolution are transforming many aspects of our lives rapidly; Education Systems are particularly involved, since they are required to evolve from at least two viewpoints. On the one hand, contents, technologies and methods are to be revised in depth. On the other hand, the impact of several external stimuli, such as market requirements, environmental changes, new technologies and the ever-growing need for a strong adaptability to different kinds of contexts and activities are leading educators to handle with a very strong generation gap. The education system must take such factors into account, since they concern people's personal, cultural and professional growth. In this work, this aspect is discussed and described in a graphic way, by means of a three-layered architecture evolving over time.
