Knowledge in our society is like an expanding universe which requires a continuous updating of competencies. Hence, the need for an in-depth reflection on the general skills education should supply. The width and rhythm of the ever changing knowable make current educational approaches based on the summative accumulation of knowledge ineffective. Consequently the development of basic cognitive tools able to develop new autonomous learning skills become indispensable. This theme aims at studying new cognitive phenomenologies, the selection, production and experimentation of methodologies and environments to foster their development.  Knowledge in our society is like an expanding universe which requires a continuous updating of competencies.
