• Abstract:

  The development of human skills, also known as soft skills, has become essential in organizational and educational contexts, especially in the face of contemporary transformations in work and learning relationships. This theoretical essay aims to reflect on the importance of these skills for personal and professional growth, discussing their conceptual basis and proposing methodological guidelines for their development. Based on an interdisciplinary literature review, the contributions of authors such as Philippe Perrenoud, Daniel Goleman, Edgar Morin and Paulo Freire are addressed. The conclusion is that the integral development of the individual requires formative approaches that integrate cognitive, emotional and relational aspects.
