Abstract

The current research work aims to determine the relationship between soft skills and work stress in education specialists from the UGEL in the coastal area of Ancash. From a methodological connotation, it was developed from a quantitative and descriptive approach with a non-experimental design. A Spearman's Rho coefficient was obtained, resulting in 0.207, which is located in a weak positive correlation; indicating the existence of a relationship between the variables, denoting that soft skills contribute to improving stress in teachers. From a curricular appreciation, soft skills and stress are elements to be taken into consideration as transversal axes in the educational curriculum, requiring that it be flexible, dynamic, and complex, having as its center the potentialization of the actors involved in the educational process. Soft skills should contribute to adaptive leadership of social and emotional realities.
