Introduction: Universities prepare students to play their role in the society and equip students with cognitive and non-cognitive skills. Having the significance of non-cognitive skills in mind, the study was designed to investigate the non-cognitive skills of undergraduate students at university level. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to measure non-cognitive skills of university students and to measure the relationship of non-cognitive skills and academic performance among them.
Material & Methods: The population of the study was 7189 undergraduate students and a sample of 368 students was selected through simple random sampling for data collection. A questionnaire was developed and validated for gathering the data. The collected data were analysed through mean scores, standard deviation, chi-square test and Pearson correlation.
Results: The mean score of the students on self-control was 4.71 having significance indicating that the participants had self-control over themselves. The mean score of the students on academic self-efficacy was 3.96 which again indicates that majority of them were academically self-effective. The mean score on goal setting scale 3.63 which was significant.
Conclusion: The study found that the non-cognitive skills, i.e., self-control, self-efficacy, goal-setting and self-regulated learning has positive relationship with academic achievement of students.

The advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) have made it easier to foreknown feature happens from current and past trends. Once Self-efficacy and self-confidence are believed to be, an individual trait associated with academic brilliance. Using a hybridised Random Forest and Support Vector Machine (RFSVM) ML model we predicted students' academic performance in computer programming courses, based on their self-confidence, self-efficacy, positive thinking, focus, big goals, a motivating environment and demographic data. Benchmarking our RFSVM model against Decision Tree (DT) and K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) model, the RFSVM recorded and accuracy of 98% as against 95.45% for DT and 36.36% for K-NN. The error between actual values and predicted values of the RFSVM model was better (RMSE = 0.326401, MAE = 0.050909) and compared with the K-NN (RMSE = 2.671397, MAE = 1.954545) and DT models (RMSE = 0.426401, MAE = 0.090909). The results further revealed that students with a high level of self-confidence, self-efficacy and positive thinking performed well in computer programming courses.
Emotional Intelligence and Teacher Effectiveness of Secondary School Teachersijtsrd
Emotional intelligence is an ability to monitor personal and others’ emotions before taking some action or showing some behaviour. Teacher effectiveness is a construct that measures how frequently teachers perform certain roles based on some standards. The purpose of this research is to find out the emotional intelligence, and teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers with reference to gender, marital status, qualification, location of the school and types of institute. Normative survey method was used for the study by the researcher. The sample consisted of 70 participants selected from different secondary schools of Ratlam district through stratified random sampling technique. The instruments of this study were Teacher Effectiveness Scale TES developed by the researcher and The Emotional Intelligence EI inventory by Annaraja and Thomas Perumalil 1980 and redesigned by Thomas Alexander 2004 . The data was collected and analysed by using various statistical methods i.e. mean, standard deviation and t test. The results indicated significant relation between teacher effectiveness and emotional intelligence of secondary school teachers. Hence, there is a need to promote the emotional intelligence of teachers along with their subject knowledge and pedagogical skills for better efficiency in the teaching learning process in secondary education. Gender differences in emotional intelligence and teacher effectiveness were not significant.

Women Education: A Real Obstacle in Achieving Universal Primary Education in ...Dr.Nasir Ahmad
This research study was aimed to explore if women education is real hurdle in the attainment of
universal primary education in Pakistan. This research study used data collected from National
Education Policies documents from 1947 to 2017 and statistical data from Pakistan Economic
Survey 2018-19 and Pakistan Education Statistics 2016-17. The major finding of the study was
that in almost all education policies of Pakistan, target was set for the attainment of universal
primary education but no target was achieved. The study found that majority of female population
is illiterate and their gross enrollment and net enrollment is considerably less than male students. It
was also found that a substantive amount of school children are out of schools, majority of them
were female. This trend exists in most parts of the country and in some parts the situation even
worse. It is recommended that policy formulation should be based on comprehensive
documentation on the impact of gender on economy and specifically on universal primary

comprehension and their retention power, to investigate the effects of traditional
printed documents reading on students’ comprehension and their retention power and
measure the differences between the effects of both types of readings (printed and
electronic). The study was experimental in nature and from true experimental research
design pre-test posttest comparative group design was adopted for the study. Students of
B. Ed honor constituted the population of the study. After pre-test students were
divided into two groups and one group was presented for ereading and the
second group to reading from printed documents. Reading materials wereselected
from the subject of research methods in education. Students understanding and
retention power was measured through a self-developed test. The collected data were
analyzed through Mean, standard deviation and t-paired sample test. Results
obtained,illustrated, that students reading from printed documents had more
retention power and greater understanding of the text than students who read from
screen (e-reading). Students’ retention power was found strongly associated with their
interest in the media (E/printed) of reading. Expected causes according to the
respondents were students’ concentration, interests, and level of comfort in reading
from printed materials than from electronic materials. The study recommended
reading of printed materials for better understanding and high retention power of
students.

The role of multiple literacies in developing interdisciplinary research 1Dr.Nasir Ahmad
The classification of knowledge into different disciplines is not to distinct knowledge of one domain from the
other as these are the parts of a whole but to make it easy, and to provide space for development and
promotion of knowledge. Interdisciplinary research provides the opportunity to study different domains of
knowledge from single perspective so that to reach to an eclectic picture of the phenomenon. Results showed
that interdisciplinary research contributes a lot in promoting interdisciplinary faculty’s relationships and joint
ventures in exploring the unseen facts. Multiple literacies are powerful indicators in promoting
interdisciplinary research culture and disciplinary literacy of faculty. Multiple literacy theory emphasize on
the componential development of language development which is corner stone for multiple literacies.
Faculty’s literacy in Information Communication Technology (ICT), Statistics and critical thinking/ problem
solving skills are foundational for multiple literacy of faculty.

The interplay between gender and student classroom participation a case study...Dr.Nasir Ahmad
A number of research studies have found differences between male and female students’ classroom participation. Some researchers link these differences to students’ gender, asserting that female students’ low participation is the result of male students’ active classroom participation. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore differences between students’ gender and their classroom participation and to investigate the ways through which students gender manifest itself in disadvantaging other students. Four students – both male and female – were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule; two classroom observations were conducted, having different classroom gender compositions. Apart from the students two teachers of the observed classes were also interviewed, for gaining a better understanding of the differences between male and female students’ classroom participation and the reasons that disadvantage a specific gender. Findings suggest and confirm that university climate presents less friendly environment to female students.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Universities prepare students to play their role in the society and equip students with cognitive and
non-cognitive skills. Having the significance of non-cognitive skills in mind, the study was designed to
investigate the non-cognitive skills of undergraduate students at university level. Therefore, the objectives of the
study were to measure non-cognitive skills of university students and to measure the relationship of non-cognitive
skills and academic performance among them.
Material & Methods: The population of the study was 7189 undergraduate students and a sample of 368
students was selected through simple random sampling for data collection. A questionnaire was developed and
validated for gathering the data. The collected data were analysed through mean scores, standard deviation, chi-
square test and Pearson correlation.
Results: The mean score of the students on self-control was 4.71 having significance indicating that the
participants had self-control over themselves. The mean score of the students on academic self-efficacy was 3.96
which again indicates that majority of them were academically self-effective. The mean score on goal setting
scale 3.63 which was significant.
Conclusion: The study found that the non-cognitive skills, i.e., self-control, self-efficacy, goal-setting and self-
regulated learning has positive relationship with academic achievement of students.
Key Words: academic achievements, goal setting, non-cognitive skills, self-control, self-efficacy, self-regulated

INTRODUCTION
Skill is defined as the capability to perform a task with
desired outcomes over a period of time and energy
individually or collectively.1
Skills usually require
external conditions and circumstances to determine the
level of abilities displayed and used. Society considers
it valuable and important for learning process. Time-
management, teamwork, self-motivation and leadership
skills are some of the important skills required for
learners. Students requires three types of skills to
properly contribute to their academic successes which
includes; conceptual (thinking skills), technical (motor
skills) and human (interactional/social skills). The
conceptual and human skills are considered as soft
skills whereas technical skills are considered as hard
skills. These skills are important, and they work in
collaborations. Both soft and hard skills provide support
to each another and the expertise in both types of skills
is indispensable. Experts have also attributed these
skills as cognitive and non-cognitive skills reflecting the
academic and occupational nature in performing
different functions.2
Cognitive skills encompass learning, reasoning and
engaging to attain proficiency in reading, writing and
numeracy. While non-cognitive skills are comprised of
personal traits, attitudes and motivations.3
Experts
believed that cognitive skills are inborn which are
associated with learners’ cognition. According to
Davidson, non-cognitive factors are as important to a
successful life as the general intelligence of humans.4
However, non-cognitive skills are learnt, practiced and
developed. These non-cognitive skills include
communication skills, interpersonal skills, self-
management skills, presentation skills, leadership and
managerial skills, adaptability, creativity, teamwork,
problem solving skills, emotional maturity, empathy,
and negotiation skills.5
Cognitive skills are important
for academic performances are measured with
achievement tests, but non-cognitive skills are more
helpful in jobs, and their measurement is not very easy
but can be predicted from the performance of an
individual at workplaces, e.g. coming to office on time,
completing work within the stipulated time, leading a
working team, interpersonal skills and attitude and
relations with boss and sub-ordinates.6
Cognitive skills are important for academic
performance and non-cognitive skills play an important
for achieving, acquiring and maintaining the high
position in the labour market, as employers look for
candidates who have the ability to manage the
organizations very effectively.7
Another important point
here to mention is that, individuals who have strong
non-cognitive skills are better at developing the

cognitive skills but the reverse is not necessary as many
times we see a person with more cognitive intelligence
even cannot talk to a stranger. It often happens in the
job interviews, where the interviewee come under
pressure and although having a lot of knowledge
remains silent and fails. This is because he/she lacks
non-cognitive skills. So, a person’s success in life
cannot be judged only by the knowledge he has but by
the non-cognitive abilities as well.8
Employers are often in search of the employees who are
enriched with social skills, the success of the
organizations are mostly dependent on the skills of the
employees and hence gains the success, as the 21st
century is the era of competition and the most
successful person will be who along with cognitive
abilities is enriched with non-cognitive skills. Seeking
of job is now subject to the demand by employers, for
which non-cognitive skills play a very important role, as
candidate with non-cognitive skills excels the one who
lack it.9
When it comes to developing non-cognitive
skills, the role of parents cannot be ignored, as non-
cognitive skills are not inborn, rather these are learned
and developed, and home is the first place of learning
certain things, before admission in formal schools, so
parents can do their best to develop non-cognitive skills
in children at home. These skills learnt at home are
more helpful in practical life.10
As university is the highest seat of learning where one
can materialize ones hidden potentials, by inculcating in
them the above mentioned non-cognitive skills through
various strategies. It is noteworthy that non-cognitive
skills have the same importance as much as that of
cognitive constructs is, rather to say that both are
dependable upon each other. It is therefore essential that
students, along with teaching learning activities, must
be equipped with certain skills that are very much
necessary for his/her success in future life. Therefore,
the study aimed to investigate the non-cognitive skills
and academic achievement of students at university
level. The objective of the study was to measure the
relationship of non-cognitive skills and academic
performance of university students.

University of Malakand. The researcher randomly selected a
sample of 368 students for the purpose of data collection
through simple random sampling technique. The inclusion
criterion for this study was the undergraduate students
of 8th
semester in the selected universities. The
undergraduate students who were not willing to
participate in the study were excluded from the study. A
self-developed scale was used to collect data from the sample.
Thirty-eight (38) items were included in the questionnaire.
These items were further divided into four sub sections Self-
control (10 items), Academic self-efficacy (10 items), Goal
setting (09 items) and Self-regulation (09 items).
The scale was validated by expert in the field and pilot tested
for reliability. The scale was administered to a group of 60
students from the population. Cronbach's alpha, α (or
coefficient alpha) of the scale was 0.91 which shows excellent
internal consistency. The final scale was then administered to
the selected sample for data collection. The study was
approved by research ethics committee. After the
Approval by the research ethics committee, the study
was carried out from January 2020 to January 2021.
First, the study was completely described to the subjects
and then written informed consent was obtained. The
collected data were placed into SPSS version-22. The data
were analysed through mean scores, Standard Deviation,
Pearson Correlation and Chi-square test of significance.
RESULTS
A total of 368 participants participated in the study. The
mean score of the students on self-control was 4.71 with
p-value 0.000 which shows that most of the participants
have self-control over themselves. The mean score of
the students on academic self-efficacy was 3.96 with p-
value 0.000 which shows that majority of them were
academically self-effective. The mean score on goal
setting scale was 3.63 with p-value 0.000 which shows
that majority of the students have developed goal-
setting skills (table-1). Table-1 also reflects the mean
score of students on self-regulation scale was 3.91 with
p-value 0.000 which means that majority of students
have developed self-regulated skills.
The table 2 shows the relationship between student’s
non-cognitive skills and academic achievement of
undergraduate university students. The non-cognitive
skills (self-control, academic self-efficacy, goal-setting
and self-regulation) have positive relationship with
academic achievements of the students (table 2).
DISCUSSION
The results of the present study revealed that most of the
students were self-disciplined having good self-control over
themselves. It further identified that they had a good academic
self-efficacy, had proper goal-setting strategies and
appropriate self-regulated study habits. The findings are in
conformity with those of Heckman & Rubenstien, who
found that non-cognitive skills contribute to success in
school, although they have added success in workplace
too. 11
They have mentioned self-control of the students
while counting other non-cognitive skills towards better
academic achievement. The findings of the study is also
in conformity with other research studies.12,13
This study found a significant positive relationship between
academic achievement and non-cognitive skills, i.e. self-
control, academic self-efficacy, goal-setting and self-regulated
learning. The findings support the results found by Kai
Zhou who found that Three non-cognitive skills-grit,
self-control and social skills have positive relationship
with academic achievements of the students.14
This
study was also supported by Hsin and Alamdar.15, 16
However, West found the negative effects of non-
cognitive skills. 17
The findings of the study were also in
conformity with Gutman who also concluded that self-
control has positively relationship with academic
achievement. 18
There is a close association between non-cognitive
factors and educational achievement, and hence non-
cognitive skills can be predictors of future results, like,
academic performance, employment performance,
financial stability, and hence are predictive of long-term
achievements rather than tests. Psychologists have
classified non-cognitive skills into five categories,
commonly known as big five, which can be explained
by the acronym OCEAN, where O stands for Openness
to experiences, C is for Conscientiousness, E is from
extraversion, A is from Agreeableness and N is from

the word neuroticism which is also called emotional
stability.19
Khine have explained non-cognitive skills in relation to
educational attainments.20
They referred these skills as
attitudes, strategies and behaviours of students towards
their educational/curricular activities at school and
home. Further, these skills included academic
engagement, motivation, self-control and perseverance.
They concluded that all these skills of students have
close relation and are dependent on each other. The
improvement in one area signifies improvement in the
second skills and goes on. Likewise, Gray, Mcguinness,
and Owende studied these skills and concluded that
these are related to motivation, personality, learning
approaches and self-regulation which have significant
association with students’ academic attainments. 21
These skills are developed slowly and gradually as the
child grows up. The teacher first finds out the type of
non-cognitive skills in a child and then develop the
same through practicing from time to time. So, after
completion of one phase of schooling the students must
have developed some sort of non-cognitive skills.
Cognitive and non-cognitive skills interact and support
each other, and human development would not be
possible without the consistent interaction between
these two skills, it is to noteworthy that non-cognitive
skills are as important as cognitive skills for interpreting
learning and employment outcomes.
Our study recommends that education institution should
focus on the development of non-cognitive skills of
students for better academic achievement and success in
later life. The study also recommends that education
institution should provide opportunities like seminars,
debates, field trips, internships and other social and
academic activities that may help students to improve
their non-cognitive skills and be successful in practical
life.
CONCLUSION
The study concluded that the non-cognitive skills, i.e.
self-control, self-efficacy, goal-setting and self-
regulated learning had positive relationship with
academic achievement of students
