| dc.description.abstract | Speech and Language Therapy (SLT), as most health professions, have been developing and adapting for better evidence based practice in order to provide better and more effective and efficient clinical services. However, a good therapist/clinician requires much more than instrumental. Intrapersonal and interpersonal competences are more than ever recognized as essential for a successful professional career and to provide high-quality clinical services. Soft-skills cover a wide set of people skills, social skills, and personal career attributes, and are currently valued by employers, team peers and clients. Recognizing the need to develop soft-skills during a SLT graduation, a practicum (clinical education) course was designed using modern learning methods. During three consecutive years fourth year students were trained in a soft-skills promoting environment. This work intends to evaluate the implementation of this practicum course in a SLT graduation, according with students’ perspective. A brief questionnaire was used to collect students’ opinion about the course. Fourteen answers were obtained in this preliminary study. Results revealed that students are globally satisfied with the course and identify a higher number of advantages (51) than of disadvantages (17). A wide set of soft skills were identified as resulting from the procedures and opportunities used in the course. Around 67% of the strategies experimented during the course were related with personal organization, self-regulation and emotional control. Concerning with perceive tools identified by students as useful for professional development as SLT, 50% were related with the practicum activities and 25% with intrapersonal competences. Globally, students were able to confirm that the procedures adopted in this practicum course promote soft-skills in a formal way. It became clear that soft-skills can be measurable, systematic, and teachable/promoted. Discussion on the importance of soft-skills in SLT training is provided. | por |
