Work projects: the need for new competences for new forms of rationality

Abstract

The article presents a way of thinking based on the school and its role, to raise again the subject of school knowledge and its social meaning. It is founded on a new conception of rationality, and its main point is to establish new links between knowledge and individuals. It proposes the work project as a new strategy to approach a new curriculum conception and a construction of the complex thinking, opposed to today’s limited education. This educational proposal is based on the analysis and interpretation of information, and on the promotion of a perspective based on the understanding and creation of meanings.
