| description | Generic skills are defined as a set of skills that are directly related and needed
for the working environment. Employers prefer to recruit officials who are
competent in interpersonal communication, leadership skill, team work, oral
and written skills. They are reluctant to employ graduates lacking certain
necessary skills. This reveals the fact that there is a serious gap between the
skills that are required by the employers and the skills that the graduates
possess. Therefore, this research is focused on five aspects of generic skills
namely; communication, team work, problem solving, lifelong learning and
self-esteem. From Qur’anic perspective, the same terms have been used except
minor differences in using various terms. The thematic approach is used when
discussing these aspects from the Qur’an. The findings showed that the ways of
effective communication are represented by terms of qawl sadid, qawl ma`ruf,
qawl baligh, qawl maysur, qawl karim and qawl layyin. For collective work,
ta`aruf and tafahum, as the pre-requisites, should be practiced via ta`awun and
takaful. For problem solving, four methods are adapted from the Qur’an such
as reflection of the past, observation, demonstration and asking questions. For
lifelong learning, the establishment of learning institutions and the selfmotivation
of learners are two pre-requisites that should be undertaken for its
accomplishment. They could be practiced through open learning system,
consultation and hands-on learning. Last but not least, for personality
development could be built up through physical training, spiritual training and
mental training. |
