Strengthening the Teaching of Soft Skills in the Pedagogical Architecture of Moroccan Universities

Abstract

The objective of this article is to initially build indicators that can measure the soft skills of students from Moroccan universities and to study the degree of homogeneity of these soft skills between students from different fields, then to study the correlation links that may exist between these soft skills. Our study has shown that communication is correlated with other soft skills, namely risk aversion, perseverance, self-esteem and sociability. Hence the interest of intervening in the training of students and the provision of the educational resources necessary to strengthen their soft skills such as the deployment of training workshops, as part of the activities of career centers and skills certification via partnerships with the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, which aims to develop the exchange of experiences and data and to mutually benefit, as well as with other cultural, scientific and foreign partners in order to support the reform of the Bachelor's cycle and the revision of the pedagogical architecture that results from it. The objective is to facilitate professional integration and promote the employability of young graduates of Moroccan universities. The construction of soft skills curricula, the training of trainers for teaching and the development of soft skills modules, the development of the educational tools necessary for the teaching of soft skills, training in the creation of online courses on soft skills are among the priority areas.
