Dear Prof Asmuni,

I guess soft skills are many borrowed from managerial etiquette , so focusing on  refinement and decision making responses that demonstrates tolerance and acceptance of individuals point of view is the key.

The practice can be taught but again there is a catch !!!!

Peer assessment is the first step and there we can see the response level and take it from there .

If no way of evaluating "competencies and soft skills" of college students, understanding the "competencies and soft skills"  like learning those variables that are qualitative or ordinal type. They may be the skills and already explicit skills Curriculum and Curriculum career, like those of Curriculum Hidden or unstated, as would be the Transversal skills (as discussed in another discussion network) necessary and fundamental for the student learn to learn and learn with meaning and life and not just for school. The model is already known educational assessment of learning or academic performance, via existing, valid and reliable, or others to build and validate "ad-hoc" instruments.

For example: communication skills, ability to communicate concerns and knowledge to teachers, fellow students or others. Also, the ability to find information relevant to their learning, topic, subject or matter, printed texts or publications in digital format Internet, capacity for critical reading of texts and contexts.

Evaluation can be in practice or equivalent in the field of reality, as the form of communication between inter-acting in the classroom or actual field of knowledge (community, factories, industries, offices, hospitals, schools, etc.) students. As mentioned above, the shape and style of student learning, their ability to read printed or digital texts critically, understanding and interpretation, both in their native language and foreign one who is learning simultaneously. Testing and development projects to assess creativity. Ability to design and make tangible some knowledge in technology, etc.

For the evaluation process, both the teacher and the student develop optimally they must have developed prior promotion and study of the discipline or subject, skills and abilities that are intended to measure and qualify.

Often instruments designed and developed for a specific purpose are used, which if not validated, will be validated in an educational research called methodological design and validation of an instrument of measurement and evaluation. If the validation results indicate that the instrument is feasible to implement, reliable and valid, then can be used to assess learning is to assess;

Not validate measuring instruments to qualify the educational process and learning, assessments will not be valid or reliable for the intended purpose, such as: adoption of knowledge and skills, academic achievement, meaningful learning, learning impact and the educational process, etc.

I propose again this network, I authored two publications (both in medical education) where the model and method of evaluation of competencies and skills are explicit addition to the competencies or skills considered soft.

Sincerely

Dr. Jose Luis Garcia Vigil
