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.

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.

A Delphi study using project managers who had managed projects in excess of $500 million was used to confirm the significance and frequency of problems resulting from the nature of projects. Using the results obtained from the Delphi study a ranking of the problems experienced in these projects was obtained by calculating a Relative Importance Index. Additionally, the Delphi panel members were asked their views concerning the need for traditional project management skills (hard skills) and team management skills (soft skills) as project size increased from below $50 million to over $500 million. A substantial increase in the need for both skills was indicated with the increase in the need for soft skills being the most significant.

Hotel Accommodation

Vocational schools are no exception to implementing the online learning policy during the covid-19 pandemic, including students majoring in hotel accommodation. This study aims to describe how the school develops its readiness to implement the policy, particularly its challenges. This study also aims to determine the constraints and impacts of implementing the policy. Using a qualitative method, this study involved two vocational schools in Yogyakarta that have Hotel Accommodation major. The heads of the departments, the productive teachers, and some students were invited to several interviews. Documentation was also used to obtain detailed information. The results were categorized into two aspects: hard-skills and soft-skills. From the first aspect, challenges that are faced as the impact of the policy are (1) online learning at vocational schools majoring in hotel accommodation requires facilities and infrastructure that do not include internet quota, (2) teacher digital competence and teacher creativity in carrying out learning need to be improved, (3) students feel bored with online learning, so motivation needs to be grown, (4) skills/ practice-based learning implemented in school alternately with a limited number of students. The second aspect indicated that the policy makes it difficult to develop students' soft skills that are also measured as the learning objective. These constraints are important to note for the implementation of the online learning policy to be successful.

Engineer Education

In today’s higher education, the development of competencies based on the needs of the labour market, the role of practical training and the application of student-centred teaching methods are becoming more and more important. A particularly important question in engineering education is which abilities and skills are important for an engineer in a rapidly changing, information-based society. Therefore, in addition to hard skills, the development of soft skills also plays an important role. Our research was aimed at mapping the competencies of engineering informatics students and determining development opportunities. The Hungarian version of the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ) was used to examine the students’ personalities. The results of the research showed that the students’ soft skills must be developed – especially in the areas of openness, communication and cooperation. Students’ personality development can be facilitated by courses that focus on self-knowledge and self-esteem, as well as opportunities for cooperation, adaptation, building trust, empathy, and helpfulness. Cooperative methods, collaborative learning, the project method and problem-based learning can also play an important role in higher education.

Best practices of formal school education, particularly in the instructional management relates to teaching and learning. Education deals with all domains of human competency. In elementary school, unfortunately, there is still a discrepancy between aim and result. Teacher misconduct will affect students’ bad character. The incorrect education process may create failure in achieving defined educational goals. It is vital for any nation to have competent educational practitioners to ensure its success in developing its students’ skills as a human capital investment of a nation. School curriculum goal is derived from the national education aims which develop students’ potentials for becoming good people in hard skills and soft skills. Therefore, the ideal teachers should understand all students’ characteristics and potentials. This research is an attempt to highlight the function of instructional management of soft skills to the success of students’ performance.  The study employs a qualitative research method with multiple case study design, in which a meaning-making activity is underlined as the first objective of interpretive research in understanding social phenomena of education activities. Such phenomena to be interpreted may be found in the practical realm, skilled know-how, and experiences. Based on findings, it is known substantively that students’ soft skills will not be developed if the instructional management focuses on academic. On the other hand, soft skills will enhance significantly students’ academic results, because soft skills will enable and improve students’ potentials to reach the best learning achievement. At last, the researcher offers soft skills formula from an Islamic perspective as a comprehensive concept for building student character to be a good man. In Islamic precepts soft skills are akhlak-adab, good character, positive behavior, spread kindness and bring many benefits to others and the environment. However, these soft skills must be placed under the guidance of Qur’an and Sunnah.
