Abstract

This essay is part of an investigation carried out at UNIACC University in the framework of 2018 competitive funds for professors, based upon the continuous improvement of the academic praxis.   The abovementioned research entitled “Exploratory Study on Perceptions of UNIACC Journalism and Advertising students in relation to successful keys in teaching performance for a significant learning achievement,” had as a central axis the recognition of soft abilities perceived and valued by UNIACC daytime students when they assessed us in a positive way in the classroom.  By using a mixed methodology, it was possible to identify nineteen soft skills, bipartited into social and communication skills, required for an optimal teaching role.
