Education systems have made efforts to prepare students by providing technical and nontechnical courses. With video games, however, there is the potential to develop dedicated metaverses that can help teach soft skills even during casual pastimes. The research conducted will propose a set of design practices for metaverse and game development to promote soft skills. While there are many soft skills people can acquire, this paper will focus on certain aspects based on specific games and studies. There will be some information collected from the information to support the design model and arguments. This paper will provide developers with a starting point for imaginative game creation and impart users with soft skills to assist in their professions and social life.

This study proposed a soft skill integration activity for online EFL classrooms and investigated student responses. Toward this end, this study recruited 54 college students taking an English Presentation and Discussion class in South Korea. Participants were assigned into high and low-proficiency groups based on the Test of English for International Communication. This study employed questionnaire, class video recordings, and interview to obtain responses. Moreover, problem-based learning with challenge questions was applied to develop soft skills in online synchronous classes. Responses were examined in terms of whether a difference existed according to English proficiency. Major findings of this study were as follows. Regardless of proficiency levels, participants reported improvements in their IT and problem-solving skills and exhibited positive attitudes toward live online presentations via Zoom. However, this study observed significant differences in communication and teamwork skills, perceived learning, and confidence. Interviews with students with low English proficiency levels revealed that they were negatively affected by the lack of non-verbal cues, mechanical skills, and socialization time provided by online classes. Based on these results, pedagogical implications and directions for future studies are discussed.

This paper proposes learning modules as a kind of integrated instruction model for soft skills program outcomes to enable CEA. Learning modules consist of course learning objectives(outcomes) described in detail, learning content(elements), learning activities(teaching learning methods), evaluation methods, evaluation rubrics so that they can be evaluated based on the performance criteria of the program learning outcomes. The unit of time for the learning module is 50 minutes. If this learning module is applied, it is expected that the soft skill program outcomes can be evaluated in the technical course. As a result of the expert feasibility study, the positive answers were much higher than the negative answers in most of the questions about the composition of the learning module or the method of managing the class.

Given the critical role of information technology (IT) in achieving organizations' strategic goals, it becomes increasingly important for organizations to develop and retain a competent IT workforce. We investigate how organizations make IT personnel feel content with their job, motivate them to perform at their best, and consequently retain them. We develop a model in which IT leadership, conceptualized as "transformational" and "transactional" IT leader behaviors, influences IT personnel's perceptions of requisite soft skills and IT personnel's Quality-of-Work-Life (QWL), and how IT personnel's QWL in turn affects IT personnel's intention to stay. Using survey data from 205 IT professionals, we found that IT leadership behaviors, particularly transformational leadership behaviors, positively influence IT personnel's intention to stay. We also found that this relationship is fully mediated by IT personnel's QWL. In addition, we found that transformational leadership behaviors positively influence IT personnel's perceptions of requisite soft skills. We discuss the implications of our findings for theory and practice.

국가직무능력표준, NCS(National Competency Standards)는 대학이나 기업체 모두에서 매우 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. NCS는 그동안 직업훈련기관에서 주로 사용되어 왔으나 최근 들어 2,3년제 전문대학뿐만이 아니라 4년제 대학에서도 점차 관심을 가지고 있는 추세이다. 문제해결능력, 의사소통능력, 대인관계능력 등의 NCS의 직업기초능력과 같은 소프트스킬들은 기술이 비약적으로 발전하는 지식정보사회에서는 구체적인 기술능력보다 더욱더 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구는 NCS의 직업기초능력과 북미와 유럽 등지에서 캡스톤 디자인으로 많이 활용하고 있는 Formula SAE 활동과의 연관성을 대회 현지관찰조사, 학생들이 작성한 대회 관련 문서들 그리고 미국 링컨에서 열린 Formula SAE대회와 한국 KSAE 대회에 참가한 학생들을 대상으로 하는 설문 조사를 통하여 분석하였다. 결과에서 학생들이 참가한 Formula SAE 대회는 NCS 직업기초능력 항들과 전반적인 관점에서 밀접한 속성을 가진다는 것을 알 수가 있다. Formula SAE 활동이 NCS 직업기초능력 향상에 얼마나 도움이 되는가에 대한 설문조사에서 해외 및 국내 모두 전반적으로 리커트척도 5점 만점에 모두 4.0 이상의 점수를 나타내며 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 참고로 양 대회 참가학생들 간에 수학적능력, 의사소통능력, 문제해결능력 항들은 통계적으로 유의미한 관계를 나머지 항들은 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

로봇이 지능적이고 합리적으로 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 다양한 솜씨(skill)가 필요하다. 우리는 솜씨를 생성하기 위해 우선 행동유발성(affordance)을 학습한다. 행동유발성은 행동을 유발하게 하는 물체 또는 환경의 성질로써 솜씨를 생성하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 로봇이 수행하는 대부분의 임무는 순차적이고 목표 지향적인 행동을 필요로 한다. 그러나 행동유발성만을 이용하여 이러한 임무를 수행하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 이를 위해 우리는 행동유발성과 목표 지향적 요소를 반영하기 위한 소프트 행동동기 스위치(soft behavioral motivation switch)를 이용하여 솜씨를 생성한다. 솜씨는 현재 인지된 정보와 목표 지향적 요소를 결합하여 행동동기를 생성한다. 여기서 행동동기는 목표 지향적인 행동을 활성화시키기 위한 내부 상태를 말한다. 또한, 로봇은 임무 수행을 위해 순차적인 행동 선택을 필요로 한다. 우리는 목표 지향적이고 순차적인 행동 선택이 가능하도록 솜씨를 이용하여 솜씨 네트워크(skill network)를 생성한다. 로봇은 솜씨 네트워크를 이용하여 목표 지향적이고 순차적인 행동을 선택할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 베이지안 네트워크를 이용한 행동유발성 모델링 및 학습 방법, 행동유발성과 소프트 행동동기 스위치를 이용한 솜씨 및 솜씨 네트워크 생성 방법, 마지막으로 솜씨 네트워크를 이용한 목표 지향적 행동 선택 방법을 제안한다. 우리의 방법을 증명하기 위해 제니보(애완 로봇)를 이용한 교시 기반 학습 방법을 통해 "물체 찾기", "물체에 접근하기", "물체의 냄새 맡기", 그리고 "물체를 발로 차기" 행동유발성들을 학습하였다. 또한, 이들을 이용하여 솜씨 및 솜씨 네트워크를 생성하여 제니보에 적용하고 실험하였다.

As society evolves, people are making more of an effort to learn more about human aspects, one of which is emotional intelligence, a topic on which education experts have traditionally concentrated. This is due to the fact that emotional intelligence has a significant impact on how people think and manage their emotions. On the other side, it promotes the development of expressive ability and aids people in better adapting to life. This study explores the relationship between communication skills, leadership skills, stress management, adaptability, and emotional intelligence of FPT University students to determine the factors that affect students' emotional intelligence. To survey 500 FPT University students, this study used a sample size of 500. Previous studies used a 5-point Likert scale to assess the four skill elements. According to the results, students who completed the survey showed adequate communication skills, leadership qualities, stress management, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is influenced by communication skills, leadership abilities, stress management, and flexibility. This suggests that students who master these four skills have higher levels of emotional intelligence. The outcomes of this study reveal that students have been conscious of Emotional Intelligence since a young age. The affirmations in this research paper will benefit students and young people interested in enhancing complimentary soft skills that boost Emotional Intelligence.

The research postulates the conceptualization of talent in the Vietnamese banking sector via examining the factors pertaining to the concept of talent and talent management (TM) in the sector. This study applied qualitative research methods. A total of 20 managers and directors of ten banks (three public, four private and three foreign banks) were recruited for semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that a combination of interconnected soft skills, learning ability, flexibility, technology adaptability, integrity and risk management skills contributes to talent identification. Managers in some private banks construed talent to be commensurate with high performance and high potential, whereas managers in public banks and foreign banks mainly relied on performance results in talent recognition. Moreover, talented employees holding sales-related jobs are given the most attention by management in the studied banks. Regarding practical implications, the banking community and practitioners' focus should be imparted to soft skills development and integrity control in order to foster employee performance and attitudes. Attention should be paid not only to sales positions, but also to other positions within the bank. This study is one of a few which explores talent concepts and TM approaches in the banking sector in general and Vietnamese banking field in particular.
