Soft skills, also known as socioemotional skills or life skills, are described as essential for a comprehensive development of knowledge and education. Soft skills can be grouped into three categories: interpersonal skills, cognitive skills, and emotional control skills. These three categories do not work independently; they are generally interrelated. They are important because they are valuable for the development of professional and working life. Are listed as important, among others: assertive communication, negotiation skills, trust, cooperation, empathy, decision making, critical thinking, self-assessment, analyzing and understanding consequences, and managing anger, sadness, and frustration. Seen as interrelated dimensions, they would be: learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live in society. Likewise, egocentrism is treated as a behavior that weakens or nullifies soft skills.

Palabras clave : Soft skills; importance; education; research; science.
