In the last decades, the development of innovative practices have
gained considerable interest, but challenges are far from easy. New
generations of students grow up in a very different environment,
severally influenced by information and communications technologies
(ICT). In the 2018 United Nations conference on Trade and
Development, the Secretary-General of UNCTAD stated that "we live
at a time of technological change that is unprecedented in its
pace, scope and depth of impact". Furthermore, in a globalized
world, ICT are changing the way businesses create and capture
value, how and where we work, and how we interact and communicate.
These allegations were prior to the actual global pandemic, which
is an event that accentuated the use of ICT like never before.
Thus, some of the traditional teachings methods are rapidly
becoming obsolete, unattractive to the new generation of students
or needing the complementarity of additional methodologies. In the
last years higher education institutions as well as lectures
individually, invested in the introduction and development of new
teaching methods, including in activities of training. More active
methodologies are being incentivized, like problem based learning
(PBL), Co-creation, team based learning (TBL) or gamification.
Beside the methodologies, teaching in a more technological
environment is essential for promoting digital skills of lectures
and students. In the context of COVID-19, practices of e-learning
or b-learning increased the adoption of digital platforms,
influencing teaching practices. In addition, institutions are also
giving attention to the development of soft skills as a complement
of hard skills, which opens a field for different teaching contexts
and experiences. Despite the higher development of new teaching
approaches in the recent years, relevant questions related to
learning objectives, suitable methodologies and impact assessment,
remain unanswered. Thus, this book is open to receive research
inputs that allow the interested community to learn with
experiences as well as to access insights, discussion on new forms
of teaching and training methodologies and curricular programs, in
all the fields of management.
