Besides simply expecting young people to get good grades from their studies (i.e., development of intellectual, cognitive, or "hard" skills), there is also a call to focus on the holistic development of university students, particularly nurturance of their non-intellectual skills, non-cognitive, or "soft" skills. In this paper, we outline several conceptual models of non-cognitive or soft skills in young people, including models of non-cognitive skills, transversal skills, transferable skills, and multiple intelligence skills. We highlight several observations about these models, particularly concerning our vision of youth development, youth empowerment, and teaching and learning soft skills. Finally, we discuss the role of soft skills in nurturing holistic university student development in the higher education sector in Hong Kong. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
