Exploring relevance of noncognitive skills in higher education Ongoing

Noncognitive skills define a person's attitudes and behaviors in general and they are distinct from cognitive skills or intellectual capabilities. Research in the recent past posited noncognitive skills such as self regulation, resilience, social skills etc. as foundational to educational success, often acting as better predictors of long-term academic and life outcomes than cognitive ability alone. This project explores the role of noncognitive skills specifically in higher education. Objectives of the study included identifying and measuring relevant noncognitive skills that affect academic performance, enabling right interventions and enhanced academic success.
