ABSTRACT

In recent years, some specific non-cognitive abilities gradually attract the attention of the education circle, including curiosity, self-management ability, adaptability to changes, conscientiousness, flexibility, and the ability to cooperate with heterogenous partners effectively. These non-cognitive abilities as the key skills that the students will need in society can not only affect their school records and education choices during their teenage, but also exert an influence on their longer-term performance and living quality after graduation. Presently, people have reached a consensus on the importance and cultivability of non-cognitive skills, and a series of education revolutions have been triggered internationally. Under this background, how to improve the students’ non-cognitive abilities becomes the research focus of this paper. The paper combed the concept of non-cognitive abilities, reviewed and analyzed the non-cognitive ability factors that can affect scholastic achievement, and put forward relevant suggestions.
