Title: Soft skills in future teachers: An exploratory survey

Abstract: Soft skills are of fundamental importance in the performance of all work activities, particularly teaching, because they are strongly related to personal qualities and attitudes and social and management skills. Even in school settings, therefore, soft skills are needed to interpret and understand complex situations in the design of instructional pathways useful for enhancing students' personal qualities (Ngang, Yie & Shahid, 2015). Difficult to recognize, quantify, assess and develop, this paper aims to investigate the self-perception of them among preschool and elementary school teachers-in-training. Awareness of their own transversal competencies, in addition to promoting personal professional growth in young teachers, prepares them to take this important dimension in their future students and design teaching actions aimed at their enhancement.

Title: Le Soft skills nei futuri insegnanti: Un'indagine esplorativa

Abstract: Le Soft skills sono di fondamentale importanza nell'espletamento di tutte le attività lavorative, in particolare dell'insegnamento, perché fortemente connesse alla qualità e agli atteggiamenti personali e alle abilità sociali e gestionali. Anche in ambiente scolastico, pertanto, le Soft skills sono necessarie per interpretare e comprendere situazioni complesse nella progettazione di percorsi didattici utili a valorizzare le qualità personali degli alunni (Ngang, Yie & Shahid, 2015). Difficili da riconoscere, quantificare, valutare e sviluppare, questo lavoro si propone di indagare sulla autopercezione che ne hanno gli insegnanti della scuola dell'infanzia e della scuola primaria in formazione. La consapevolezza delle proprie competenze trasversali, oltre che favorire la personale crescita professionale nei giovani insegnanti, li prepara a tener conto di questa importante dimensione nei loro futuri alunni e progettare azioni didattiche volte al loro potenziamento.

Abstract: Les compétences générales sont d'une importance fondamentale dans la réalisation de toutes les activités de travail, en particulier l'enseignement, car elles sont fortement liées à la qualité personnelle et aux attitudes et aux compétences sociales et de gestion.Dans un environnement scolaire également, des compétences générales sont donc nécessaires pour interpréter et comprendre des situations complexes dans la conception de chemins didactiques utiles pour améliorer les qualités personnelles des élèves (Ngang, Yie & amp; Shahid, 2015).Difficile de reconnaître, de quantifier, d'évaluer et de développer, ce travail vise à étudier la perception de soi que les enseignants de la maternelle et de l'école primaire en formation ont.La conscience de leurs compétences transversales, ainsi que la promotion de la croissance professionnelle personnelle chez les jeunes enseignants, les prépare à prendre en compte cette importante dimension dans leurs futurs élèves et à concevoir des actions d'enseignement visant leur renforcement.
