Optimization and application of improvements in the evaluation of soft skills designed from the multidisciplinary vision of AprenRED

Abstract

The specific competences are acquired by the students and certified by passing the different subjects of the study plans. However, soft skills are not systematically worked on and are not evaluated, which means that their acquisition cannot be guaranteed. However, these skills are a fundamental basis in higher education and in the future employment of university graduates. The current methodological paradigm of Higher Education shows the importance of authentic and alternative evaluation of learning, based on relevant activities or execution tasks. AprenRED's work in recent years has focused on the field of soft skills. In this case, the objective of this study is to optimize and improve the strategies and instruments for evaluating soft skills, based on the results obtained in recent years, from our multidisciplinary perspective.
