Compete!<\/a>, a serious game developed within the European Erasmus+ framework<\/a>, helps to develop soft skills. This participatory learning methodology uses gamification to help final-year university students critically apply and discuss the impact of soft skills in classroom settings. With feedback built into the game design, players can improve their understanding of decision-making and acquire key soft skills such as problem-solving, stress management, effective communication, and teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serious games and gamification have been embraced by primary education students as motivational tools. However, their potential for higher education is just beginning to be realized. While traditional teaching models can be effective, serious games offer an exciting opportunity to teach complex skills in a fun, engaging way. In the job market, soft skills are essential for students to find good jobs and stay up-to-date with the ever-evolving digital landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
