Abstract Aim: To explore the value of soft skills in nursing practice.Background: While hard skills refer to the technical ability and the factual knowledge needed to do a job, soft skills allow you to more effectively use your technical abilities and knowledge pleasingly. These two skills are complementary but soft skills are a prerequisite in every profession where human interaction and teamwork are needed to succeed. This integrative review examined the literature on soft skills within the nursing domain and made suggestions.Methods: An integrative literature review was carried using four electronic databases. These databases were Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Medline on EBSCOhost and Google Scholar using keywords: soft skills, non-technical skills, nursing skills, nursing art and aesthetics. No dates were considered during the search of the literature. Full texts of relevant studies were retrieved after screening the titles and abstracts. Critical appraisal was undertaken, and the findings of the relevant studies were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Seventeen studies were included, and the findings suggest an urgent need for softs skills in the nursing domain. Five themes: denotation of soft skills in nursing; benefits of soft skills in nursing; need for soft skills in nursing; inculcating soft skills into nursing practice; and links between hard and soft skills emerged. Also, the findings show that soft skills are the cognitive and social capabilities that complete the technical skills of the nurse in the health care industry.Conclusions: Soft skills have become the oxygen needed to resuscitate the seemingly dying nursing care quality. Regulatory bodies should see the call to incorporate soft skills into the nursing curriculum as an urgent resuscitative call that needs attention.

ABSTRAKSI: Artikel ini – dengan menggunakan pendekatan dan metode kualitatif serta kajian pustaka – mau menganalisis dua hal pokok, yaitu: Pengembangan Kurikulum; dan Pembelajaran Abad XXI. Pengembangan kurikulum merupakan bagian yang sangat esensial dalam keseluruhan kegiatan pendidikan. Pengembangan kurikulum, baik pada tingkat makro maupun mikro, mencakup kegiatan menyeluruh yang meliputi: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi; serta menyangkut pengembangan komponen penting dalam kurikulum, yaitu komponen tujuan, bahan, kegiatan, dan evaluasi. Pengembangan kurikuum secara makro menyangkut pengembangan program pendidikan secara umum dan menyeluruh dalam konteks suatu lembaga/institusi; sedangkan secara mikro menyangkut pengembangan kurikulum yang sifatnya lebih terbatas, seperti pengembangan kurikulum pada level bidang studi atau mata kuliah. Kerangka pembelajaran abad XXI adalah satu gagasan yang diadaptasi dalam pengembangan Kurikulum 2013 pada umumnya, dan pembelajaran saintifik pada khususnya. Ada sejumlah keterampilan yang perlu dikuasai oleh peserta didik pada abad XXI, yakni: “soft skill and hard skill” atau keterampilan teknis. “Soft skill” yang perlu dikembangkan adalah kreativitas dan inovasi, berpikir kritis, seperti literasi informasi, literasi media, dan literasi ICT (Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi). KATA KUNCI: Pengembangan Kurikulum; Pembelajaran Abad XXI; Kurikulum 2013; Keterampilan Teknis. ABSTRACT: “Curriculum Development in the 21st Century Learning”. This article – using qualitative approaches and methods as well as literature review – wants to analyze two main points, namely: Curriculum Development; and the 21st Century Learning. Curriculum development is a very essential part of all educational activities. Curriculum development, at both the macro and micro levels, has been encompassing comprehensive activities including: planning, implementation, and evaluation; and involves also the development of important components in the curriculum that are components of objectives, materials, activities, and evaluations. Macro curriculum development involves the development of a general and comprehensive education program in the context of an institution; whereas in micro terms, it involves the development of curricula that are more limited in nature such as curriculum development at the level of field of study or course. The 21st century learning framework is an idea that was adapted in 2013 Curriculum development in general, and scientific learning in particular. There are a number of skills that need to be mastered by 21st century students, namely: soft skills and hard skills or technical skills. Soft skills that need to be developed are creativity and innovation, critical thinking, such as information literacy, media literacy, and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) literacy.KEY WORD: Development Curriculum; 21st Century Learning; 2013 Curriculum; Technical Skills.

New Hires

Skills are understood as key issues in the labour market and conceptualised as individual attributes needed to perform competent work. The distinction between hard and soft skills is one of the most used theoretical conceptualization – hard skills being understood as technical skills, required of professionals, and soft skills being seen as personal traits which are not specifically related to the function. One hundred years after the publication of Mann's A Study of Engineering Education (1918), and as employers expect a new level of readiness from new hires, the focus is on bridging the soft skills gap. However, most of the literature delves into mismatched expectations of both industry and educators, and little documentation can be found regarding the skills that future employees believe their employers will require.

У статті наведено приклад рейтингової системи оцінки успішності освітньої діяльності закладу вищої освіти. Автори наголошують, що така система буде мотивувати збагачення творчого потенціалу та повністю забезпечувати формування траєкторії розвитку особистості. Спираючись на сучасні наукові праці, автори дослідили поняття «творчість» та відзначили важливість творчого складника для формування hard-skills та soft-skills. У статті зазначається, що для здобувачів освіти більшості спеціальностей розвиток творчого складника залишається на другому плані. Автори переконані, що набуття професійних знань, умінь та навичок має відбуватися у тісному взаємозв’язку з розвитком творчого потенціалу. Складність використання повною мірою творчого складника в освітньому процесі пов’язана в тому числі і з тим, що специфічність поняття «творчість» ускладнює процес його оцінювання. Оцінювання є важливою складовою частиною організації навчального процесу. Автори підкреслюють основні протиріччя, що виникають під час оцінки творчого складника. У літературі питання пошуку шляхів розвитку творчості переважно полягає у застосуванні різних форм і методів організації занять. У роботі запропонована система оцінювання успішності результатів освітньої діяльності, в основі якої лежить принцип «кафетерію». Основна ідея полягає у наявності двох складових частин оцінювання: обов’язкової (спрямованої значною мірою на перевірку знань та вмінь) та варіативної (яка забезпечує прояв творчості та формування траєкторії особистого розвитку). Автори наводять приклад обов’язкової та змінної складових частин системи оцінювання для окремих дисциплін. Але у статті підкреслено, що така структура не може бути однаковою для всіх дисциплін. Проведений педагогічний експеримент дав змогу довести ефективність та доцільність застосування такої системи. Ефективність запропонованої системи підтверджується високими освітніми результатами (якістю освіти). Результати перевірки та оцінки мотивації досягнень здобувачів освіти методом А. Мехрабіана також підтвердили ефективність запропонованої системи оцінювання.

In this fast transforming business economy caused by globalization, it has become incredibly important that employees keep on upgrading their hard skills and polish their soft skills if they aspire for a career that not only pays them well but also promises better opportunities in career development. Though the importance of soft skills is recognised in everyday life, in maintaining interpersonal relationships, in buildings strategies for success, its implications are mainly found in organisations and workplaces. Soft skills, however, play a significant role in building a career. Today to succeed and survive in the competitive workplace employees are expected to change their attitude, attention, and commitment to work. Besides, they are also expected to develop other abilities like effective communication skills, teamwork, leadership qualities, stress management, emotional intelligence etc. Competition is progressively increasing across workplaces worldwide. The need to be fit, flexible and existing is highly intrinsic. Soft skills thus help deal with challenges as they offer essential factors to influence the success of the employees and the organisations. This paper focuses on discussing the relevance of soft skills in career success, job satisfaction, creating a better work atmosphere and bringing about productivity at the workplace.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate whether hard-skills trainers and soft-skills trainers have different perspectives regarding the instructional skills and knowledge they require. Design/methodology/approach From the previous training literature the authors used 14 items covering relevant instructional knowledge and skills in a questionnaire which was applied online. Following an exploratory factor analysis a one-way multivariate analysis of variance [MANOVA] was conducted with the training content being the independent variable and the training requirements being the dependent variables. Findings Soft-skills trainers and hard-skills trainers differed in the variety of instructional methods and in their emphasis on interpersonal relations and interactions, group management and communication. Those trainers with train-the-trainer certificates did not differ significantly from those who did not have them. Trainers with a university degree in educational science/psychology were more likely to teach soft skills than hard skills but did not agree more with the relevance of instructional skills and knowledge than those without such a degree. Research limitations/implications The authors note that the results reflect the subjective perceptions of instructional requirements by trainers rather than objective requirements which would need to be tested by other means. Practical implications This study has a range of practical implications including the importance of skill and knowledge content and that of the trainers' perceptions in determining the extent to which what is learned is transferred into day-to-day work. Originality/value Previous literature has given little attention to the content of training and it has been unclear how this might affect learning and its transfer.
