Through the qualitative approach, an axial coding was carried out using a matrix, a Google form and the NVivo program; the information was classified to make different categories and this was accompanied with the opinions provided by the authors in a survey. The analysis done, shows how soft skills such as motivation are associated to teachers and that they affect students both positively and negatively in the emotions and their teaching. In addition, self-learning and problem solving are part of the regulation of the processes as learners; and responsibility is strengthened in pedagogical and research practices.
