“…A previous work [11], allowed us to propose a model of an education system that makes it possible to simulate its behavior to predict its long-term evolution, to evaluate its performance, and to simulate the impact of some factors on the evolution of this performance.…”

“…In [11], the output A was the increase of competence level of a learner, noted as ΔCi, while the parameters Xi that will be taken into consideration, at first approximation, are the duration of the training unit, the personal capacity of each learner µi, the input competence which represents the characteristics of the learners, the class size and a score for the pedagogical methods which represent some parameters of the resources and the data of conduct.

“…where P is the performance of the training unit, (C'i -Ci) the competence level increase of learner i having successfully validated the training unit, n is the number of learners who validate the unit, and (C'r-Cr)*nr is the expected increase in the competence level of the class when all parameters are equal to their reference values. This model was used in [11] to show the effects of the individual capacity of the learner's competence acquisition, as well as the pedagogical method's sensitivity in association with the group's size on the performance of a training unit.…”

The use of complex and dynamic systems modelling to social systems is quite recent and its pertinence in the case of an educational system is continually increasing. For the concrete management of educational systems, a global approach is required. This approach must take into consideration the effects of many parameters that can act and interact together thus making, as a result, the system more or less efficient. Our aim is to develop a model that can capture the dominant dynamics of these systems while being at the same time simple enough to be useful for analyzing, simulating, and quantifying the impact of different parameters on the global performances of educational systems. By viewing education systems as skills production systems and by applying Business Processing modelling methods, a modelling of education systems is proposed in the present work which allows studying the effects of a set of parameters on the behavior of the system and its performance. The focus will be done on the study of the impact of learners' input competence on the performance of a training unit and on the performance of a training program. The obtained simulation results allow us to analyze the evolution of a training program's behavior as well as estimates its performance under the effect of the variation of simulation factors. These results enable to measure the performance variation according to the learners' input competence, their ability to acquire skills, and to the class size. This modelling enables us to test solutions for performance improvement.
