Abstract

It has been recognised increasingly that academic performance and ultimate success in life require non-cognitive skills that go beyond simply mastering curriculum content. The aims of this paper are to provide an overview of the non-cognitive literature in the context of educational performance and to provide a rationale for the use of non-cognitive interventions to support the development of wellbeing and perseverance among the student body. This rationale is expanded to key areas of concern within the Irish educational system to which non-cognitive approaches may be applied.
