In addition to professional competencies, those cover a number of transversal skills that are termed as ‘soft skills’. As a consequence, the market economy countries actively pursue educational reforms that align soft skills with university curricula for bachelor and master students. As its market economy has been developing only for about 30 years, Russia is to face a challenge of working out a similar educational policy. To grasp the understanding of soft skills infusion into Russia’s university education, the authors conducted a study with a view to finding out the academic community’s perceptions of soft skills. The research entailed a theoretical and empirical stages, with the first one covering an analysis of literature on soft skills via comparative methods in order to come to a uniform definition and prevailing classification of soft skills (as a basis for questionnaires), and the surveying stage with 135 lecturers and 312 students involved. The findings implicate the participants’ perceptions of soft skills, most efficient academic disciplines and teaching/ learning techniques for fostering students’ soft skills and confirm the hypothesis that in Russia there are random soft skills inclusions in curricula and few practices to nurture the skills that justify the need for developing a new governmental policy to cover the gap.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Изменение природы экономики и общества в условиях перехода к информационной стадии развития современной цивилизации привело к трансформации рынка труда и новым требованиям к рабочей силе, которые в дополнение к профессиональным компетенциям включают целый комплекс надпрофессиональных навыков, получивших название “soft skills”. Как следствие, в странах с рыночной экономикой активно проводятся образовательные реформы, предполагающие включение “soft skills” в качестве значимых ориентиров в программы подготовки бакалавров и магистров. Перед Россией, рыночная экономика которой развивается менее 30 лет, стоит задача разработки адекватной новым реалиям образовательной политики. Для понимания степени текущей интеграции “soft skills” в университетское образование в России, авторы провели исследование, нацеленное на выявление представлений о “soft skills” в академическом сообществе (студенческой и преподавательской среде). Эмпирическое исследование включало в себя теоретический и исследовательский этапы, предполагавшие соответственно анализ работ отечественных и зарубежных авторов в целях формирования предметного поля исследуемой проблематики и сопоставление существующих классификаций “soft skills” для конструирования их универсальной классификации, используемой далее для разработки анкет и проведения опроса, а также анкетирование 135 преподавателей и 312 студентов. Полученные результаты (универсальное определение и классификация “soft skills” выявленные представления российских студентов и преподавателей о “soft skills”, а также, по их мнению, наиболее эффективные академические дисциплины и методы обучения для развития “soft skills” у студентов) подтверждают гипотезу авторов о «точечных» включениях “soft skills” в учебные программы и почти полное отсутствие сложившихся практик их формирования, а также о необходимости проведения единой политики государства в данной области.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>soft skills</kwd><kwd>soft skills</kwd><kwd>university</kwd><kwd>labour market</kwd><kwd>competiveness</kwd><kwd>transversal skills</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>университет</kwd><kwd>рынок труда</kwd><kwd>конкурентоспособность</kwd><kwd>мягкие навыки</kwd><kwd>гибкие навыки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Ananiadou, K., &amp; Claro, M.
