Soft Skills in Favor of Advanced Military Education

The concept of military education has evolved significantly during the years, reflecting the changing education methods from physical training and hard knowledge-based activities to more advanced and effective techniques. Modern military education recognizes the importance of soft skills required for adaptation to the complexities of twenty-first century military operations and resilience to future challenges. Developing new abilities like critical thinking, problem-solving, and flexibility can significantly support academic performance and enhance students’ capabilities. Also, the role of a multiskilled teacher is crucial, not only for improving students’ academic outcomes but also arming them with techniques to face life challenges. This article emphasizes this requirement and suggests leveraging project management (PM), emotional intelligence (EI), and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to enhance educational psychology and pedagogy principles. These strategies—PM, EI, and NLP—provide adequate soft skills to boost the teaching-learning experience by improving communication, understanding emotional cues, and effectively managing the teaching and learning projects. The proposed methodology is detailed and illustrated using application examples. Finally, results highlight its effectiveness in the transformative global landscape.
