Abstract
The previous view of education quality paid more attention to the appearance of cognitive ability: test scores. However, a lot of practice and research have proved that the level of cognitive ability cannot completely predict the development of an individual in school and society. The non-cognitive abilities of individuals represented by communication, cooperation, emotional management, etc. can help improve students’ cognitive level and regulate students’ learning motivation; help students achieve better academic performance and achievement; Income has an impact, which ultimately affects the individual’s happiness. These kind of specific abilities other than cognitive abilities, which have a profound and lasting impact on individual adaptation and social development, are core abilities that individuals gradually form in the process of growth and development, and are also called “social and emotional abilities”. The term was promoted by the “Social and Emotional Learning” (SEL) promoted by UNICEF worldwide, and the Study on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) implemented by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
