Peningkatan Social emotional competence Melalui Metode Self reflection pada Mahasiswa STIKES Ranah Minang Kota Padang

Abstract

ABSTRACT Many higher education institutions in Indonesia emphasize the dimension of hard skills. However, the workforce, as the service user, desires individuals equipped with a balanced combination of both hard and soft skills. A study conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture in 2009 stated that an individual's success in education is determined by 85% soft skills. The book "Lessons From The Top" by Thomas J. Neff and James M. Citrin (1999) asserts that 90% of an individual's success is determined by soft skills, with only 10% attributed to hard skills (Muhmin, 2018).This research aims to enhance social-emotional competence in students as an initial step in improving their soft skills to compete in the job market. The method employed includes psychoeducation and practical exercises through self-reflection to enhance social-emotional competence. The categorization of participants' social-emotional competence before the workshop Helda et. all | Peningkatan Social emotional competence Melalui Metode Self reflection pada Mahasiswa STIKES Ranah Minang Kota Padang Jurnal Citra Ranah Medika 2 Issn : 2962-1151 showed that 58 participants (63.73%) were in the low category, 27 participants (29.68%) were in the moderate category, and 6 participants (6.59%) were in the high category. After the workshop, no participants were in the low category, with 32 participants (35.17%) in the moderate category and 59 participants (64.83%) in the high category.
