dc.description.abstractThis study aims to obtain in depth information on the competency level of soft skill elements of Sixth Form Business Studies students in a school setting. A total of 101 Sixth Form Business Studies students self-assessed their elements of soft skill. Three Business Studies subject teachers were paired up as raters to assess the soft skills elements’ of students using rubrics. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to collect data using checklist, rating rubrics, and structured interview. The findings of this study discovered a total of eight soft skill elements stated in the analysed document via document analysis. Results of rubric ratings, both by student self-rating and teacher rating revealed that the Sixth Form Business Studies students possessed moderate competency for Teamwork, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Oral Presentation and Writing Skill. The Sixth Form Business Studies students’ competency level for Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Oral Presentation Skill were found to be severely below targeted competency levels. In obtaining inter-rater reliability of ratings, the kappa statistic had shown a low agreement between the teacher raters. However, a high percentage agreement (more than 50%) between teacher raters for most of the soft skill elements was found. Correlation analyses for the ratings of teachers were significantly correlated for all the five soft skill elements.en_US
