FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ RESEARCH SKILLS THROUGH SOFT SKILLS METHODS

Abstract

The modern education system focuses not only on subject knowledge but also on developing students’ research skills and critical thinking. In the 21st century, the use of soft skills methods has become an essential pedagogical tool, as they foster students’ communication, problem-solving, self-organization, and teamwork abilities. This article examines the formation of students’ research skills through the integration of soft skills methods into the educational process and provides both theoretical and practical analysis. The research results demonstrate that the application of soft skills methods significantly enhances students’ research competencies, critical thinking, and communication skills
