Abstract
In the knowledge society we must be able to deal with a new type of knowledge which is dynamic, distributed/globalized and complex. This change in the nature of knowledge imposes new requirements on educational systems, which must (i) provide individuals with new cognitive tools, and (ii) aim at harmonic integration between traditional learning processes in institutions and those emerging spontaneously and informally, mainly on the Internet. Some of the key cognitive skills required to dynamically build our personal knowledge and to act wisely and effectively in the knowledge society are identified and discussed. The possible role of technology as a resource for supporting the development of those skills is also discussed. Finally, the present situation of the Italian education system is considered, together with the conditions required to successfully answer the challenges of the knowledge society.
