Связь между осознанием ценности времени и сформированностью мягких навыков у студентов инженерно-управленческих специальностей

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between the awareness of time values among engineering and management students and their soft skills development. The article examines the significance of soft skills, including self-management, awareness of time values. Correlational relationships between the last skill and others (readiness to communicate, critical thinking, emotional intelligence) are identified. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the identification of social-cognitive predictors of time values and finding correlations between this parameter and some soft skills of engineering students. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the more a student's awareness of the value of time is developed, the higher their emotional intelligence, as well as higher scores on the "Resourcefulness, Initiative, and Entrepreneurship" and "Verbal Competence" scales of the KOSKOM methodology by V. N. Kunitsyna, which enhances the communicative-personal potential of the individual. Additionally, the awareness of the value of time positively impacts the student's academic performance. In turn, developed critical thinking will more likely lead to a decrease in the considered parameter. The social-cognitive predictors of the development of awareness of the value of time in students include the following indicators: self-motivation, communicative-personal potential, as well as academic performance (direct relationship), understanding of situations, and emotional stability (inverse relationship).
