Annotation
This article examines the concept of the educational ecosystem as an alternative to the conventional curriculum-centred model of instructional design. Drawing on the principle of constructive alignment (Biggs, 1999), the theory of communities of practice (Wenger, 1998), and the four-level model of learning evaluation (Kirkpatrick, 1959), the article develops an analytical framework that describes the conditions under which an educational environment produces sustainable change in learners’ professional behaviour. The article integrates empirical evidence from recent research published between 2015 and 2025 and includes sections drawing on data obtained within a specific institutional context.
