The main problem in this activity is that the students' abilities are not maximal in relation to entrepreneurship. The main problem lies in the managerial ability of business, administration, product quality and other matters related to entrepreneurship. This is because students involved in this program do not have in-depth understanding and knowledge related to business management. In addition, the process carried out when obtaining funding was not too developed due to the relatively insufficient funding aspect. To overcome this problem, programs are compiled which will be implemented in 3 patterns, namely training, mentoring and mentoring. The type of training that will be provided is hard skills and soft skills training related to entrepreneurship development. The targets of this activity are students who receive grants from the Entrepreneurship Scheme Student Creativity Program and the Student Entrepreneurship Program. Besides that, there are also students who are interested in developing entrepreneurship. This activity was carried out at the Faculty of Sport Sciences, State University of Padang. Implemented from August to October 2020. In accordance with the objectives of this Community Service, the approach pattern to be carried out uses the Participation Actions Learnig System (PALS) pattern. This pattern is a pattern where tenants participate directly in every program that will be provided. The results obtained from the activity: 1) Increase the ability of participants related to entrepreneurial soft skills, 2) Increase the ability of participants related to entrepreneurial hard skills.

The santri group discussion aims to strengthen the character of Pancasila and the santri knowledge about issues of radicalism and terrorism in order to avoid the radicalism ideology. The activity was held at the Darul Abror Purwokerto Islamic Boarding School with 50 participants. The community service method uses a combination of community education methods and group discussions. The activity was carried out in three sessions: providing educational material, in-group discussions, and inter-group discussions. In the first session, the method provides in-depth material on radicalism and Pancasila by the community service team. The method at the second session is in-group discussion. The second session's point was to improve the participants analytical skills in responding to radicalism and Pancasila issues. The method in the third session is inter-group discussion. The santri group discussion showed that the students in Darul Abror had increased knowledge about radicalism and terrorism and developed the character of Pancasila to prevent the threat of radicalism. Students sharpen hard skills through discussion activities in practice identification and analysis of problems and problem-solving. The development of participants' soft skills is a sense of respect for other people's opinions, tolerance, and culture of deliberation.

The authors discuss the instruction of soft skills by games and simulations as a future direction for the use of educational gaming in P-12 education. Technical or hard skills are taught in the educational curriculum; however, soft skills training, such as communication, collaboration, decision-making, problem-solving, negotiation, and leadership, are lacking. Soft skills training through games and simulations have been successful in areas such as the military, medicine, business, and disaster response, as well as those individuals with learning disabilities; therefore, the authors investigate the potential for soft skills training using games and simulations. In addition to instruction of soft skills, this article also addresses the inherent nature of games and simulations as teaching and assessment tools.

The school is a safe zone where the curriculum is determined, in a shared manner; where the actors (pupils and teachers), each in their own roles, aim at a project of professional and human, personal and collective growth. A system involving theory, practice and technique combined with relationships and emotions: head and heart together. An encounter between verbal and non-verbal languages, between scientific and humanistic areas where thought becomes actions and actions become thinking, in a thoughtful action. The aim of this intervention is to promote the culture of interdisciplinarity, to offer a focus on the importance of the Integrated Curriculum, also in the university sphere as it is increasingly urgent to create a network of synergies to foster a unity of knowledge that offers a holistic-global vision also by proposing joint scientific work for a biodiversity of languages that means protecting a plurality of information useful for knowledge and thus for the protection of all. Education is developed on transversal competences, soft skills training, inclinations identified in each one (pupil, teacher), which impact on disciplinary knowledge; as well as defining hard skills; to reflect on a methodological framework where the body becomes the protagonist, the glue, the bridge of meanings, transforming them and transporting them into other languages.

AUTHORUbfal, Diego; Arráiz, Irani; Beuermann, Diether; Frese, Michael; Maffioli, Alessandro; Verch, DanielDATEMar 2021DOWNLOAD:English (0 downloads)DOIhttp://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003182There has been growing interest in approaches to business training that incorporate insights from psychology to develop soft skills associated with successful entrepreneurship. The empirical evidence on their success, however, is still inconclusive. This study designs and evaluates two training programs focusing on soft skills, which are adapted to the Jamaican context. The first program provides soft-skills training on personal initiative, including the development of a proactive mindset and perseverance after setbacks. The second program combines soft-skills training on personal initiative with traditional training on hard skills aimed at changing business practices. Both programs are evaluated using a randomized controlled trial design involving 945 entrepreneurs in Jamaica. Findings indicate positive effects of the intensive soft-skills training, but not of the training combining soft and hard skills, on business outcomes (i.e., sales and profits) in the short-term (i.e., three months after the implementation of the trainings). The positive short-term effects of the soft-skills training are concentrated among men and are not significant for women. These effects, however, vanish when measured 12 months after the trainings. Nonetheless, the soft-skills training show persistent positive effects on some targeted soft skills, which are measured with both self-reported and incentivized measures.

The purpose of this PKM activity is a workforce that has not worked in Bedayu village, Senduro sub-district, Lumajang Regency. So far, entrepreneurship has been conveyed only through socialization to increase public awareness about the importance of entrepreneurship as a way to reduce high unemployment.

Teachers’ professional development is a life-long and continuous process in which teachers are expected to upgrade their knowledge, master new skills, and change their practices, since advancement in their teaching career has an impact on their students’ achievement and education reform. This study determines the teachers’ assessment of professional development programs at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET) in Kuwait. The study utilized a quantitative research method using a survey questionnaire, which was distributed online to 31 in-service teachers. Results indicated the infrequency of teachers’ development program in the institution. Teachers who had stayed at least nine years had undergone 1 to 3 training programs. Training on soft skills is perceived to be relatively more effective than training on hard skills. Nevertheless, majority of the teachers attended relatively more hard-skills training than soft-skills training programs. Thus, hard-skills training should further be planned to improve effectiveness since more training is provided in these areas.
