Abstract: The non-cognitive skills of children in family reproduction have been concerned more and more. Based on the survey of junior middle school student, we used principal component analysis to obtain the value of the index of non-cognitive skills, and further adopted the OLS method analyzing the determinants of the non-cognitive skills. It is shown that family income, parental occupations and education, participating in parent-child cultural activities, family collection of books, the grade of child, and the quality of teaching have significant and positive effect on non-cognitive skills, but taking part in an interest-oriented class and a child’s gender haven’t significant effect. So, the family background and the cultural capital significantly promote children’s non-cognitive skills.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate classroom management experiences with Syrian refugee students from the perspective of teachers. The study has a qualitative design and uses the case study method. The study group of this research was teachers in primary and middle schools in the central district of Tokat province who taught Syrian refugee students who had been forced to migrate to Turkey. This research found that most of the teachers' classroom management experiences with Syrian refugee students had negative aspects, and that the teachers stressed their linguistic challenges. It was found that refugee students’ pronunciation problems had caused them to be ridiculed. Teachers stated that they did not know what to do when they encountered with communication problems with these students. A variety of events (in-class activities, school trips, etc.) should be planned to prevent the other students from being biased against the Syrian refugee students and enable both groups to be integrated. Teachers’ awareness on how to behave with Syrian refugee students should be raised through the in-service training.
