Today, globalization, advances in technology, greater access to information, and communication via social networks generate an explosion of knowledge and cause the working world to experience rapid change based on knowledge and continuous learning. The challenge for universities is to have a curriculum that prepares students for this digital world, but many characteristics of the school curriculum have been unchanged for decades. Consequently, student experiences can be very different from the experiences required by the labor market. In a learning environment, the desired results will not be achieved if several essential elements are not considered in the instructional teaching process, including learning style, age, and maturity level. Learning Styles and Strategies for Management Students is a critical scholarly resource that provides essential research on the growing recognition of the critical role of education through concepts and principles of styles and strategies of learning. Additionally, it explores key developments in the methodologies, strategies, and learning styles of students, mainly in management studies. Featuring an array of topics such as digital education, sustainability, and management, this book is ideal for academicians, researchers, administrators, curriculum designers, policymakers, practitioners, and students.

En su libro "Más inteligente que el diablo", Napoleón Hill propone una visión simplista del éxito, centrándose en los logros materiales e individuales. Sin embargo, esta visión reduccionista ignora la naturaleza compleja y multifacética del éxito auténtico y significativo. Este libro electrónico ofrece una alternativa a la visión de Hill, explorando lo que realmente significa tener una vida exitosa. Abordaremos el éxito como un concepto individual y multifacético, que va más allá de la mera acumulación de bienes materiales. ¿Qué es el éxito auténtico y significativo? El éxito auténtico y significativo es aquel que está alineado con los valores y propósitos de cada individuo. Se traduce en una vida que aporta felicidad, realización personal y contribuye al bienestar de la sociedad. Características del éxito auténtico y significativo: •Autoconocimiento: La base del auténtico éxito es el autoconocimiento. Necesitas saber quién eres, cuáles son tus valores y qué es lo que realmente te motiva en la vida. •Propósito: Tener un sentido de propósito en la vida es fundamental para lograr un éxito auténtico. ¿Qué te motiva a levantarte de la cama todos los días? ¿Cuál es tu contribución al mundo? •Resiliencia: el camino hacia el éxito no es lineal. Los obstáculos y desafíos son inevitables. Necesitas tener resiliencia para superar obstáculos y persistir en tus objetivos. •Equilibrio: El éxito auténtico no se limita a un solo ámbito de la vida. Es importante encontrar un equilibrio entre las diferentes áreas de tu vida, como la carrera, la salud, las relaciones y la espiritualidad. •Impacto positivo: el éxito auténtico y significativo va más allá de la realización personal. Busca generar un impacto positivo en el mundo, ya sea a través del trabajo, la comunidad u otras formas. Crítica a la visión materialista del éxito La visión de Hill en "Más inteligente que el diablo" es criticada por ser materialista e individualista. Esta visión define el éxito sólo como un logro material e individual, ignorando otros aspectos importantes de la vida, como la felicidad, el bienestar y el desarrollo personal. Un modelo de éxito más humano y holístico Proponemos un modelo de éxito más humano y holístico, que valora la felicidad, el bienestar, el desarrollo personal y el impacto positivo en la sociedad. Este modelo reconoce que el éxito es un viaje individual y multifacético, que debe seguirse de acuerdo con los valores y propósitos de cada individuo. Conclusión La búsqueda del éxito auténtico y significativo es un viaje personal y continuo. No existe una fórmula mágica para el éxito, sino más bien un conjunto de principios que pueden guiarte en este camino. A lo largo de este libro electrónico, exploramos estos principios y ofrecemos herramientas para que pueda construir una vida auténtica, significativa y exitosa. Aprenda mucho más...

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

“The hope for the future depends on teaching current and future students the analytical and critical thinking skills for dealing with the most critical problems. My own hope is for this book to be read by everyone, even those outside the field of environmental education. Read this book, read it again, share it widely, and do something - anything - to help our needy and wounded planet."-Marc Bekoff, author of The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons For Expanding Our Compassion Footprint "Saylan and Blumstein provide a compelling vision of what can be, and what should be, if we have the courage to open our eyes and the boldness to act.”-Peter Saundry, Ph.D., Executive Director of the National Council for Science and the Environment “A clarion call to incorporate environmental education in all grades K-12, across all academic disciplines, in order to produce future generations of environmental stewards."-Mark Gold, President, Heal The Bay "We need a sea change in the educational system. After all, if we can teach schoolchildren that vandalism is wrong, why can we not teach them that environmental destruction is wrong? This book is a haunting call to action. A beautifully written manifesto that gets it right."-Ron Swaisgood, Director of Applied Animal Ecology, Institute for Conservation Research, San Diego Zoo Global “The greatest threat to the future of all species on the planet is the huge gap between what is understood about global climate change by the scientific community and what is known about climate change by the people who need to know -- the public. The sound prescriptions in this book need to be read now. We are running out of time.”-Dr. James Hansen, world-renowned climatologist and author of Storms of My Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity “Environmental education is a disaster and educating the public on environmental issues is the greatest challenge facing humanity today. This book will help us understand why we are headed toward the collapse of civilization, and more important, how to fix it. Packed with sound science, useful information, and brilliant ideas, it is a book we must read, and give, to our local school boards and principals nationwide. Our children will thank us."-Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb and Humanity on a Tightrope
