非认知技能及干预措施研究

Studies on Non-Cognitive Skills and Interventions

随着新人力资本理论的提出,非认知技能成为学术界关注的热点。经济学家将人力资本的经验内容区分为认知技能和非认知技能,而非认知技能也是其他学科关注的对象。本文介绍了非认知技能的概念、形成、对社会及代理人自身的意义,以及不同学科在研究非认知技能时的发现。随机受控实验是推进非认知技能研究的重要手段,本文介绍发达国家的实验项目和研究发现,也对发展中国家尤其是中国的研究做了介绍。学术界对非认知技能的认知取得了一些共识,但更多的内容还处于探索中。

With the development of the new human capital theory,non-cognitive skills have been widely discussed.Empirically,non-cognitive skills are used to distinguish from cognitive skills by economists in studying human capital,and they are now research topics in other fields of social sciences.This paper reviews concept development of non-cognitive skills,its significance to society and individuals,as well as findings from different disciplines in studying the skills.This paper also briefs findings from some developed countries based on randomized controlled experiments,as well as findings from developing countries,especially China.Currently,even though some agreements have been reached in understanding non-cognitive skills,there are still more under further exploration.
