Game-based soft skills learning

Abstract

Skills such as communication skills, problem solving, strategic thinking and adapting to new contexts are defined under the title of soft skills, which are also known as "behavioral skills". These types of skills are included in the category of non-technical skills (as opposed to hard skills) and are necessary for personal and professional success. By using game-based learning and using game mechanics, learning these skills can be made more attractive and effective. Serious games play a key role in developing soft skills (such as problem solving, planning, and analytical thinking) in the world of professional activity and work (1).
