The Formation Factors Of Middle School Students’ Non-Cognitive In Kunming City

Abstract

Today's academic scenario is witnessing a paradigm shift from merely cognitive faculties' measurement to an increasing recognition of non-cognitive abilities. In education, non-cognitive skills broadly encompass the students' character traits, attitudes towards learning, emotional intelligence, and other personal attributes that significantly influence their learning performance. These skills have gained increased attention among educators and policymakers; particularly, their impact on student's learning and high-order cognitive skills development is under continuous examination. This article focuses on middle school students in Kunming city, utilizing differentiated analysis methods and regression analysis methods to explore the factors influencing students' non-cognitive abilities. We have confirmed the identification of core non-linear factors, including socioeconomic background, parental involvement, and personal attributes, which play crucial roles in defining the significant formation process of non-cognitive skills. Emphasizing these identified factors in the formation of non-cognitive abilities highlights their profound impact on students' growth and success. This study provides insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders into areas of intervention to enhance the development of non-cognitive skills, potentially boosting students' learning capacities and fostering longer-term academic success.
