The purpose of this study is to examine the differences of soft skills practices based on demographic including gender, department of studies and locations. Soft skills in this study refer to personality development, communication skills, management skills, leadership skills, writing skills and professional ethics. This survey was conducted in Malaysia which involved 480 Polytechnic students from the northern zone (n = 120), the southern zone, (n = 120), the eastern zone, (n = 120), and Central zone (n = 120). Data were collected using a questionnaire that was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0 software comprising descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one way MANOVA). Overall, results demonstrated that the levels of soft skills' module implementation in polytechnic in terms of personal development, communication skills, management skills, leadership skills, writing skills and professional ethics from the students' perspective is at a moderate level. MANOVA test showed that there was a significant difference based on the department of studies and zones. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference of soft skills based on the gender. Hence, the number of dialogue sessions with industry and relevant agencies need to be improved so that the industry requirement as a stakeholder can be met and indirectly enhanced the marketability value of the polytechnic students.

“…There are several elements contained within competency that involve the personality, actions, abilities, skills and knowledge of an individual in carrying out specified tasks or work. Apart from that, one can determine a presentation or delivery's effectiveness by way of the presenter's individual competence (Ridzwan, 2017) which is the core of human resource management (Che Ghani, Mohd Zaini & Nur Faeeza, 2018). In the context of education, a teacher's excellent competence will have the impact of student success.…”

We conducted this study to evaluate the competencies of Form Six geography teachers in achieving the Malaysian Education Quality Standards. We applied a qualitative approach using the observation technique. The respondent observation consisted of three teachers who had more than 10 years of experience teaching Form Six geography and who were working in the areas of Batang Padang district, Perak and Hulu Selangor district, Malaysia. The variables we assessed were practical knowledge, subject-content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, pedagogical technology knowledge, teachers’ teaching of professional behaviours and attitudes, and values modified from the Quality Level Rubric of the Malaysian Education Quality Standards. The observation findings showed that each teacher scored different points, ranging from three to four for the assessed variables. Teachers’ pedagogical technology knowledge needs to be improved as two out of three teachers were still using Teaching Aid Materials such as mahjong paper and marker rather than using computer or other more recent technology due to the lack of infrastructure provided by their schools. In conclusion, Form Six geography teachers in this study have fulfilled the competence of the Malaysian Education Quality Standards by achieving the maximum score.
