Abstract:

The rapid development of technology has changed the rules of interaction, requiring the development of both soft skills such as critical thinking and communication, and hard skills such as digital literacy. This study presents results that reflect the agreement of teachers and students on the importance of skill development. Most of them recognize the essential role of these skills in the formation of comprehensively developed personalities prepared for the future. It also reveals a dual perspective: some teachers and students declare the need to pay more attention to the formation of skills.

Education currently focuses on improving academic knowledge and clinical skills, but it is also important for students to develop personal and interpersonal skills from the start of their clinical practice. The aim was to evaluate the effect of peer mentoring in third-year students and to gauge the evolution of non-technical skills (NTS) acquisition up to the fifth year. The study groups were selected between September 2015 and May 2018, based on the NTS training they had or had not received: (1) fifth-year students with no training (G1); (2) third-year students mentored in NTS (G2a); and (3)

Today, soft skills (transversal competencies) are increasingly appreciated by employers as essential skills for professional success. Likewise, these competencies are necessary to be able to operate as individuals in today’s society. In view of this situation, in the future post-COVID-19 educational model it is necessary to design training programs that promote both hard skills (specific competencies) and soft skills.
