Soft skills are non-academic competencies that complement a student's academic achievement to face the world of work in the future. This study aims to identify ways of implementing soft skills and the kind of soft skills emphasized in the teaching and learning of the Malay language among secondary school students in nine selected schools in Kedah, Penang, and Perak. The study involved focus group interviews and individual interviews consisted of 119 students and 26 Malay language teachers. The findings show that soft skills apply directly and indirectly through various learning activities in Malay Language subjects. Respondents from normal schools received less exposure to soft skills compared to respondents from high-performing schools (HPS). Among the soft skills identified in this study are teamwork skills, self-confidence, communication, critical thinking, leadership, influencing skills, critical and creative thinking skills (CCTS), and problem-solving skills. Communication skills and teamwork skills were among the most detected soft skills in the three high-performing schools involved in this study. Meanwhile, the activities carried out to apply soft skills are group discussions, presentations, acting, poetry recitation, storytelling, public speaking, forums, and question and answer. Although this study is not comprehensive in terms of the number of schools and respondents, the findings of this study are important to explain the real scenario of the level of mastery and integration of soft skills, especially in the nine cases of this study.

Reasoning Skills

<p>Problem solving, creative thinking, and reasoning skills are important skills for students to master to solve various problems that they will face in the future. However, there are still many students that have relatively low ability levels performing these three skills. To improve students' abilities in these three skills, teachers can use learning strategies that incorporate visual learning media. The problem identified in a class of third graders at a public elementary school (SDN 01) in Jagakarsa was the lack of use of learning media in the learning process in the classroom so students' ability in all three skills was less developed. A research study was conducted to determine the increase in problem solving skills, creative thinking skills, and reasoning skills of third grade students at SDN 01 Jagakarsa in math subjects after being taught using instructional media. Data sources were obtained from students' test scores before and after being taught using visual learning media. Based on the N-gain calculation and data analysis using inferential statistics, results showed that the use of visual learning media can improve students' ability to solve problems, think creatively, and reason, especially in mathematics subjects.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Keterampilan memecahkan masalah, berpikir kreatif, dan menalar merupakan keterampilan yang penting dikuasai siswa untuk menyelesaikan bermacam persoalan yang akan dijumpainya kelak di masa yang akan datang.

Problem Solving Process

Architectural engineering students are constantly dealing with ill-defined and tangled design problems. Many scholars accentuated the importance of creative thinking in tackling such wicked and complex problems. Accordingly, getting engaged in an ill-defined problem solving process requires specific personality traits that are often critical to creativity and innovation in design. In that sense, architectural engineering curricula need to provide various strategies through which such individual skills can be nurtured and developed. The objective of this study is to empirically identify the different patterns of students’ approaches in solving problems and the role of group discussions in such a process. The study adopted a qualitative approach, in a live class setup, through a series of workshops to allow for in-depth exploration of the students’ problem solving skills and abilities. The intention is to help students in discovering and in being aware of their own way of solving problems and identifying its strengths and weaknesses. This is considered a core and significant step towards the improvement and development of their design thinking skills. The findings of the study have emphasized the positive impact of the cyclical behavior in the creative problem solving process and highlighted the different key issues and lessons emerging from students’ consciousness of the mental processes that occurred during this iterative process. Such awareness and consciousness of those emergent issues is expected to encourage conscious design, increase tolerance for ambiguity and improve self-confidence which are believed to dramatically help students in creatively solving ill-defined architectural design problems.
