Habilidades blandas de docentes en formación inicial en escenarios de aprendizaje

Abstract

Soft skills in initial teacher training enhance optimal performance. This study aims to explore the soft skills employed by teachers in real-life scenarios as part of their initial training. The research followed a qualitative approach. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques, resulting in the identification of five categories. The findings revealed that soft skills such as assertive communication, creativity, and flexibility promote healthy interactions, decision-making, and the ability to respond to unexpected changes. However, there is a need to strengthen teamwork and problem-solving skills. It is concluded that soft skills are essential in teaching practice and, at the same time, contribute to personal growth. Therefore, strategies should be developed to foster these skills during the training stage.
