Abstract:
On the occasion of the launch of the "Research with School" platform, we conducted a validation check of the Soft Skills Self-evaluation Questionnaire – 3SQ aimed at exploring the soft skills of students and education practitioners. Starting with a sample of nearly 7,000 respondents, collected between 2018 and 2023, an analysis aimed at investigating the variation in some personal skills was carried out, and it was found that openness to others, collaboration, empathy and curiosity were found to have increased in the post-pandemic period. Analyses with respect to the background variables gender and age showed that soft skills tend to increase with age, and those who identify with the male gender have significantly higher values of resilience and self-confidence. Finally, the cluster analysis revealed three distinct profiles, one of which is characterized by having high values of empathy and openness to others in the face of low self-confidence and low values of autonomy and resilience. The results pose numerous insights for further research.
