“…Personality traits have been conceptualised as non-cognitive skills (Pedersen, 2020; Hoeschler et al, 2018) broadly recognised as important predictors for labour market outcomes (Brunello and Schlotter, 2011). Previous studies have demonstrated that employers highly value workers’ non-cognitive skills such as communication skills, teamwork skills and flexibility/adaptability (Kuhn and Weinberger, 2005; Kassenboehmer et al, 2018; Pedersen, 2020). These non-cognitive skills reflect certain personality traits (Brunello and Schlotter, 2011).…”

International student mobility (ISM) is often perceived to enhance career prospects. Surprisingly, the role of personality traits in explaining why students go abroad and relationships between ISM and labour market outcomes have received scant scholarly attention. Based on survey data from Norwegian graduates, we found that degree and credit mobility graduates were significantly more extraverted and open than non-mobile peers and that degree mobiles were more agreeable than both credit and non-mobiles. Furthermore, results revealed that whereas degree mobility is related to both wage and Occupational self-efficiacy (OSE), this was not the case for credit mobility. However, personality did affect the associations between degree mobility and labour market outcomes. In sum, our study suggests that the distinction between degree and credit mobility is important when considering the labour market outcomes of ISM and that personality does play a role in the links between degree mobility and labour market outcomes.

“…There has been a worldwide change in the learning paradigm in the last 5 years. More and more countries have made policy changes toward a multidimensional or holistic meaning of learning (Park & Lee, 2004; Pederson, 2020; Zhao, 2018). One example of such policy change would be “the whole” child advocacy in the United States (US), which emphasizes the interconnectedness of experience and reality (Mahmoudi et al., 2012).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of principals' instructional leadership, teachers' attitudes toward change, teachers' attitudes toward school museums' instructional mission, and schools' collaborative learning culture on students' level of key competencies (e.g., cognitive, creative, and cooperative competencies). A special emphasis was given to the examination of whether the school contexts in the form of school museums have any significant influence on student learning. A random sample of 22 public schools with museums was selected from four cities in China (Shanghai, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Foshan). A total of 111 school teachers and 1171 students were included as participants. Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to analyze multisource survey data. Findings revealed that principals' instructional leadership positively influenced students' key competencies, which was mediated by teachers' attitudes toward school museums' instructional mission and schools' collaborative learning culture. Similarly, teachers' attitudes toward change positively predicted students' key competencies. The findings of the study suggest that school museums can be instrumental in improving student learning and, thus, may contribute to large‐scale learning policy changes that incorporate cognitive learning with noncognitive, social, and emotional aspects of learning.
