The soft skills-based learning (Ss-BL) learning the methodology was proposed as an innovative approach to facilitate experiential learning in authentic real-world contexts. This was created to address the shortcomings of the Experiential Learning (EL) approach in enhancing student communication proficiency. Thus, this study’s goal is to evaluate the viability of the Ss-BL learning paradigm. In this work, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the Mile and Huberman methodology were employed in an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach. The paradigm for Ss-BL learning is created by conceptualization, theorization, hypothesization, and finalization phases. The research data was acquired via the process of document analysis and conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). A focus group discussion (FGD) was carried out with a sample of 5 experts for research purposes. A non-test was the tool used in the FGD. The Ss-BL model consists of the Motivation, Observation, Real Experience, Implementation, Evaluation, Reflection phases. For all phases, a CFA value of 0,000 was obtained, that is, if the number is less than 2, it means that the Ss-BL model meets the goodness-of-fit model criterion. Among the innovative learning models suggested for entrepreneurial courses in vocational education, the Ss-BL model stands out as both a contribution to the advancement of knowledge and a viable option. © 2024; Los autores.
