ABSTRACT
Our age is marked by the idea of change. Reference is often made to the technological, economic, and social mutations that industrialized nations are undergoing. There is question of establishing new production methods which are more competitive and offer greater flexibility. This will have an impact on the evolution and complexity of knowledge that people need to acquire. The new challenge for education is providing interactive, individualized training, centered not only on the learning of contents, but also on the acquisition of skills. Changes in the meaning and value attributed to work are also at issue. It is hoped that people’s increased participation in their own training will bring about a new relationship to work.
