Pintar un paisaje alentador y halagüeño de lo que supone la inversión en investigación, desarrollo e innovación supone todo un ejercicio de imaginación al alcance de muy pocos, tal y como se han ido desarrollando los acontecimientos a nivel mundial en los últimos años. Pero el ávido lector va a encontrar un panorama bien diferente en las próximas páginas, y es ahí donde reside la grandeza de esta humilde publicación. La educación superior está viviendo momentos convulsos en casi todos los países, debido en gran parte al auge de las nuevas tecnologías que están transformando el modelo de aprendizaje tradicional. Este hecho en sí mismo no se puede considerar bueno ni malo po...
This book presents an innovative theoretical and methodological approach to study information literacy in higher education contexts. While mainstream studies tend to see information literacy as a technical and universal process, this book proposes a theoretical and methodological framework to study information literacy from a sociocultural perspective, highlighting the importance of the social and cultural contexts in which information literacy develops. This situated approach demands that research data must be analysed in relation to the contexts in which they emerge, so the book proposes a research method based on the study of personal histories and stories, learning situations and intersu...

The Google Generation examines original and secondary research evidence from international sources to determine whether there is a younger generation of learners who are adopting different styles of information search behaviour from older generations as a function of their patterns of use of online technologies. The book addresses the questions: might the widespread availability and use of search engines, such as Google, give rise to a different type of scholar who seeks out and utilises online information sources and thereby develops a different orientation to learning from older generations whose information seeking practices became established initially in the offline world. - Provides a one of the most comprehensive analyses yet on the evolving nature of information search behaviour - Combines a review of a wide range of international research evidence combined with original, cutting edge research - Directed towards industry end-users and policy makers as well as academics with shared scholarly interests
Al presentarse una falta de conceptos originales y frescos de las ciencias sociales y humanas sobre la actual sociedad del conocimiento, las investigaciones que agrupa esta obra proponen una apertura transdisciplinar y se sitúan en debates contemporáneos.
Durante el transcurso de los últimos años la información ha dejado de ser un asunto puramente técnico para adquirir una categoría social. Más allá de entender los procesos de búsqueda de información y adquisición de destrezas en el uso de las tecnologías, es importante considerar una aproximación sociocultural que rescate la historia y el contexto social de los estudiantes, el despliegue de la competencia en situaciones concretas de aprendizaje y las relaciones intersubjetivas que ocurren en los procesos de mediación, como factores constitutivos de la competencia informacional. En ese sentido, Competencias informacionales. Rutas de exploración en la enseñanza universitaria des...

An intimate portrait of the human side of leadership, The Sensei Leader is about discovering the leader in each of us, in all of us--regardless of title, rank or position. The Sensei Leader is based on the author's transformation from loser to leader; from drug abuser and dropout to Black Belt and Sensei. This is not, however, an autobiography. Rather, the author draws on his experiences and his extensive study of philosophy and martial arts to craft a highly personal portrait of an effective leader. The Sensei Leader provides a practical guide to the essential characteristics of the true leader with particular emphasis on Courage, Compassion and Wisdom. The book also highlights 8 Strategies and 5 Tactics every leader can use to be more effective.
Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
