This study aims to investigate whether soft-skills trainers and hard-skills trainers have different perspectives regarding their required instructional knowledge and skills.,An online questionnaire was completed by 129 soft-skills trainers and 61 hard-skills trainers. The authors used 14 items covering relevant instructional knowledge and skills based on the training literature.,An exploratory factor analysis identified the following two factors: managing interactions and instructional activities. A multivariate analysis of variance showed significant differences in the assessments of managing interactions (p = 0.00) and instructional activities (p = 0.01) between soft- and hard-skills trainers. The differences in managing interactions were larger than those in instructional activities. The soft-skills trainers showed higher agreement with all items. Most individual items had medium effect sizes. The differing perspectives of soft- and hard-skills trainers are not an effect of different educational backgrounds.,These findings suggest that differences exist in the required instructional knowledge and skills depending on whether trainers teach soft or hard skills. Further research should consider the training content.,Practitioners can ensure that soft-skills trainers meet the respective requirements.,This study is the first to investigate the differences in soft- and hard-skills trainers’ perceptions of instructional requirements.

软技能培训师和硬技能培训师的感知教学要求

这项研究旨在调查软技能培训师和硬技能培训师在所需的教学知识和技能方面是否有不同的观点。在线问卷由129名软技能培训师和61名硬技能培训师完成。作者根据培训文献使用了14个项目，涵盖了相关的教学知识和技能。探索性因素分析确定了以下两个因素：管理互动和教学活动。多变量方差分析显示，软技能和硬技能教练之间的管理互动（p = 0.00）和教学活动（p = 0.01）的评估存在显着差异。管理互动方面的差异大于教学活动中的差异。软技能训练员对所有项目都表示较高的认同。大多数单个物品的效果大小中等。软技能训练者和硬技能训练者的不同观点并非受不同教育背景的影响。这些发现表明，所需的教学知识和技能存在差异，具体取决于培训者是教授软技能还是硬技能。进一步的研究应考虑培训内容。从业人员可以确保软技能培训师满足各自的要求。这项研究是第一个研究软技能培训师和硬技能培训师对教学要求观念差异的研究。这些发现表明，取决于培训者教软技能还是硬技能，所需的教学知识和技能存在差异。进一步的研究应考虑培训内容。从业人员可以确保软技能培训师满足各自的要求。这项研究是第一个研究软技能培训师和硬技能培训师对教学要求观念差异的研究。这些发现表明，取决于培训者教软技能还是硬技能，所需的教学知识和技能存在差异。进一步的研究应考虑培训内容。从业人员可以确保软技能培训师满足各自的要求。这项研究是第一个研究软技能培训师和硬技能培训师对教学要求观念差异的研究。
