Abstract
The main goal of this article is to review practical approaches and methods that help develop soft skills in students during the learning process. The article will examine current trends in education and their influence on the development of soft skills in students. Additionally, various methods and technologies used to develop soft skills and their effectiveness in the context of student learning will be analyzed. Furthermore, the article will provide recommendations and practical advice for educators to help them develop soft skills in their students during the learning process. It should be noted that different countries have government programs that consider opportunities for developing soft skills. In 2020, Kazakhstan launched a National Platform for the Development of Soft Skills. Methods and approaches for developing soft skills, such as practical assignments and projects, situation modeling, role-playing games, interactive training and seminars, mentoring and coaching, online courses and applications, and involvement in extracurricular activities, can be effectively used in teaching students of art and design. Overall, the study was conducted at the Department of "Artistic Labor and Design" of K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University, where 117 students of creative specialties took part.
