Abstract

Soft skills are now regarded as an important factor that contributes to a person's success or failure in work and life. In response to the growing significance of soft skills, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) has utilized Blended Learning (B-Learning) in its curriculum to impart these essential competencies. However, the effectiveness of online learning in soft skills remains a challenge, especially for theoretical teaching content in the online format. One of the solutions to improve the quality of soft skills training is to change teaching methods to promote positivity, initiative, and enthusiasm in students. In this article, we propose to use problem-based teaching methods and problem-based teaching processes to practice soft skills to improve training quality and develop research capacity for students. By incorporating problem-solving into the teaching process, the proposal method addresses the challenges posed by online theoretical content.
