This book tackles the latest challenges in education in the
business sector, outlining how the students of the future must be
taught to adapt to a highly fluid business environment in which
their ability to acquire new skills and collaborate with others is
more important than possessing facts. Taking its cue from the
growing body of theory advocating multi-faceted and often
multilingual education, the book focuses on 'competences' and
collaborative, team-oriented, project-based learning. Beginning
with a set of studies on the differences in individual learning and
ways of supporting students, the volume moves on to a collection of
papers on learning at the level of the group, which include
material on team learning, and the sharing of knowledge in
problem-based learning. The editors view these factors in education
as an inevitable feature of pedagogy, reflecting the fact that
knowledge, and its acquisition, is increasingly collaborative in
our working lives, and especially in business. A final section
applies the principles developed in the first two parts at an
organizational level, evaluating the enormous implications these
developments in our ideas about learning have for the educational
institutions charged with teaching future generations. Combining
research and theory with practical factors in business education
and training, the volume provides wide-ranging perspectives on
developing best practice in the sector.
