Analysing the Researches on Soft Skills in Turkey
Murat Hevedanli
Educational Research and Reviews, v20 n2 p22-45 2025
This study aims to examine research on soft skills in Turkey. Soft skills complement technical skills and encompass personal and interpersonal knowledge and skills, such as communication, leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethics. Theoretical information and research literature on hard and soft skills are provided. Document review, a qualitative research method, was employed. Books, theses, articles, and papers published in Turkey regarding soft skills were accessed from four sources: YÖK National Thesis Center, YÖK Academic Search, TÜBITAK ULAKBIM TR Index, and Dergipark Academic. The obtained documents were analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate a scarcity of studies on soft skills and that the concept of soft skills has not yet been conceptually established in Turkey. A holistic evaluation reveals a need for multifaceted research on the definition, importance, and development of soft skills. The study concludes with suggestions for new research and practices regarding soft skills based on the obtained results.
