Non-cognitive abilities such as GRIT is easy to measure but hard to specify why and how each non-cognitive ability can be developed. In secondary education from grade 7 to 12, we can imagine that a variety of activities such as Project-based-learning and extra-curricular activities influenced non-cognitive abilities such as leadership, collaborative teamwork, and critical thinking in interwoven ways. In Dalton Tokyo Middle and High School, a NY-based Dalton Plan school in Japan, we have built an evidence-based educational evolution scheme in non-cognitive ability enhancement. It is a comprehensive analytical process of measuring and specifying pedagogical impacts on non-cognitive abilities through intensive assessment analysis of the depth of learning. For example, the growth in empathy and listening behavior has bigger and wider impacts on overall non-cognitive ability development than other factors, enabling lower-tier students to surpass top-tier students. We specified that the experiences of learning-from-failure directly and significantly affected the growth in empathy and listening score more than other factors, for example those who join entrepreneurship competition, lose awards, but positively learn from challenge rather than being depressed. In this presentation, we will present the method and improvement process of evidence-based evolution scheme including analytical frameworks, students’ reflection process, AI’s measurement trial on the depth of learning, and teachers’ learning process of evolving curriculum based on the analysis.
