Common sense and soft skills are important in the classroom to develop correct plans and actions in the classroom and developing rapport for the student and instructor.
In this module I learned about the importance of Soft Skills and understanding these skills are more valued that tech skills. Common Sense is considered a Soft Skill that alot of people have it as an innate skill while others have to develop this skill.
I am fully in agreement with what I have read and learned in this module. Moreover, I do believe that soft skills and workplace behaviors set up the actual paramount conditions for delivering outstanding lectures.
Of course, you must have robust hard skills regarding the lectures you deliver, and ideally, you should be a subject matter expert - at least up to a certain degree- but if your soft skills and workplace behaviors are not at the appropriate level, your students will not take everything they might get from you.
How vital soft skills are to teaching!
Soft skills will help you solve most of your problems.
Reply to Paula Edwards's post:You are a great role model and I can tell that in how the students react to you in and out of the classroom.
85% soft skills/15% technical skills represents how important it is to work on soft skills in dealing with others on your team and in the classroom. It makes perfect sense that being a good role model goes beyond just technical knowledge in the classroom and at work. It won't work if you are so offensive that your class or teammates are closed off because of poor behavior.
Soft skills are essential as an instructor
I think you can really gain a student's trust with soft skills.
Soft skills and Common Sense are important in the workplace.
The mission can be accomplished well if soft skills are employed
We are the role models inside and outside of the classroom
Soft skills important in developing teamwork
people skills and workplace behaviors = SOFT SKILLS
I agree that soft skills are key to being effective!
Soft skills significantly contributed to positive outcomes.
Soft skills such as people skills are more important to be successful than hard skills.
Common Sense is the ability to make appropriate and practical decisions.
Soft skills and hard skills both can be learned if someone is weak in these skills so it can benefit everyone.
