The article discusses modern methods and practices of psychological and pedagogical guidance for the soft skills development of students in higher educational institutions. With globalization and rapid technological progress, traditional teaching methods are becoming insufficient. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of modern methods and practices used in different countries, with the aim of adapting and introducing them into the higher education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The methodological basis of our research is a personal approach, which involves considering the individual characteristics of each student.
The analysis of international experience revealed effective methods, such as emotional intelligence development, active learning, coaching and mentoring, project-based and problem-based learning, gamification and the flipped classroom. These approaches demonstrate high effectiveness and can be adapted for use in the higher education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The introduction of these methods helps to improve the quality of education, improve the employment of graduates and their competitiveness in the labor market. Successful integration of these practices will require adaptation to local conditions and training of teachers, which will significantly increase the level of specialists’ training in Kazakhstan.
