The current practice of student’ soft skill training at Dong Thap University: From the perspectives of students and lecturers, educational managers
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article is aimed at assessing the current situation of soft skills training of students at Dong Thap University. The sample was composed of 600 students from eleven departments; 180 managers, lecturers and employees of Dong Thap University. At the same time, we also designed in-depth interviews with 15 students, 10 lecturers and 5 managers about the present situation of soft skills training at Dong Thap University in the 1st semester of the school year 2021-2022 who were chosen to complete a 27-item questionnaire on a Likert scale to measure their soft skill. The results of the assessment of the current state of soft skills training show an overview of students' soft skills. Based on the results, we could have some proposals to improve soft skills for students at Dong Thap University in order to help each student self-train necessary soft skills to meet the conditions of the realities, social requirements and employers’ expectations.
