THE INTEGRATION OF SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND DIGITAL METHODOLOGIES IN ENHANCING STUDENTS' PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE: A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of professional competence is crucial for students' success in the modern workforce. In today's rapidly changing educational landscape, integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) and digital methodologies into academic programs has become essential. Social-emotional learning equips students with the necessary skills to manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and demonstrate resilience in professional environments. Meanwhile, digital methodologies provide students with innovative tools for learning and collaboration, fostering skills that are critical in the digital age. This article explores the importance of both social-emotional learning and digital methodologies in enhancing professional competence. It discusses how SEL can improve communication, decision-making, and stress management, while digital tools foster adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The integration of these approaches within educational curricula has the potential to produce well-rounded professionals who are capable of thriving in an ever-evolving work environment.
