DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe global economy is undergoing profound shifts, powered by technological advancements and financial innovations, reshaping the role of finance in ways we've never seen before. As these forces reshape the world of finance, it becomes increasingly essential for academic scholars, practitioners, and future finance professionals to stay ahead of the curve, understanding the latest developments and trends. The problem is that finance education and practice often struggle to keep pace with these transformative changes. Standard textbooks and curricula tend to lag behind advancements in the field, leaving aspiring accountants and finance practitioners ill-prepared to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the modern financial world. Additionally, there is a gap between academic research and practical applications, making it difficult for scholars to bridge the divide and offer real-world solutions. Contemporary Research and Practices for Promoting Financial Literacy and Sustainability presents a comprehensive solution to these challenges. It serves as a beacon of knowledge, bringing together classical finance topics and the latest developments, ensuring that future accountants and finance professionals are equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the reshaped financial landscape. By integrating contemporary research into finance teaching, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering innate insights into theoretical concepts and their practical applications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is a well-known saying that money does not buy happiness. But it certainly helps in life. It is important to have enough of it to satisfy our needs and to secure ourselves from emergency situations. That's what adults think. And what about the youth? What is their approach to money, what do they know about finances and how are their skills in everyday financial management coming along? What kind of knowledge and skills should be provided? Do young people in different countries represent similar or different approaches to financial matters? Using the results of a research on young people in Poland and Germany, the authors draw a picture of financial literacy. They furthermore present a number of recommendations that help developing the knowledge and the financial skills of young people in practice.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores how science learning can be more relevant and interesting for students and teachers by using a contextualized approach to science education. The contributors explore the contextualization of science education from multiple angles, such as teacher education, curriculum design, assessment and educational policy, and from multiple national perspectives. The aim of this exploration is to provide and inspire new practical approaches to bring science education closer to the lives of students to accelerate progress towards global scientific literacy. The book presents real life examples of how to make science relevant for children and adolescents of diverse ethnic and language backgrounds, socioeconomic status and nationalities, providing tools and guidance for teacher educators and researchers to improve the contextualization and cultural relevance of their practice. The book includes rigorous studies demonstrating that the contextualization of science learning environments is essential for student engagement in learning science and practitioners' reflections on how to apply this knowledge in the classroom and at national scale. This approach makes this book valuable for researchers and professors of science education and international education interested in designing teacher education courses that prepare future teachers to contextualize their teaching and in adding a critical dimension to their research agendas.
