THE INFLUENCE OF THE TUTOR’S FACILITATION ACTIVITY ON THE FORMATION OF SOFT SKILLS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MODULAR ORGANIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

The article focuses on the tutor’s facilitation efforts in developing soft skills in university students within a modular educational framework. An analysis of existing tutoring methods and approaches aimed at developing soft skills within a modular learning framework is provided. Tutors develop students’ communication skills, teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, adaptability, and self-organization using personal and modular-competency-based approaches. The research provides a theoretical justification and experimental confirmation of the effectiveness of tutor facilitation in developing soft skills in university students within a modular educational framework. The combination of tutor facilitation and modular educational frameworks creates a synergistic effect, significantly enhancing the effectiveness of soft skill development. The article presents research findings demonstrating a positive relationship between tutor facilitation and the level of soft skill development in university students. The article concludes that the tutor’s facilitation activity has a significant positive impact on the formation of students’ soft skills in modular learning. The tutor, acting as a facilitator, creates a favorable environment for developing skills of cooperation, active listening and constructive feedback through the organization of teamwork and discussions.
