THE PROBLEM:
LIMITED INSTRUMENTS
NON-COGNITIVE LEARNING Most instruments for non-cognitive learning take the form of
surveys, inventories and/or assessments reported by educators
IS HARD TO TRACK or self-reported by students themselves
DELAYED INPUT
Without effective and user-friendly tracking Surveys’ periodicity (every 3-6 months) results in limited
recollection and vulnerability to availability heuristic, and
mechanisms, non-cognitive development therefore impaired validity
takes a back seat to traditional academic
TIME-CONSUMING
development despite its recognized Comprehensive inventories are time-consuming and result in
importance. poor adoption and pushback from users
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BIAS
Assessments are vulnerable to cognitive biases such as selection
and confirmation bias and false consensus
POORLY QUALIFIED RESPONDERS

The validity of self-reporting inventories can be compromised by
social desirability bias, users’ introspective ability or
understanding of the tool

THE SOLUTION:
PROVIDE A SIMPLE TOOL HoloTracker is a smartphone/tablet/laptop-based app for educators
to record and catalogue individual students’ observable behaviors
FOR EDUCATORS and actions that are reflective of non-cognitive learning and
assimilation of character traits.
HoloTracker allows teachers to record meaningful behaviours as

and when observed, with minimal distraction and cognitive
load.
A formative tool, it provides rich data patterns to map students’

holistic growth, helps review and evaluate educators’ strategies,
and broaden the scope of their teaching.
It assists educators in focusing their attention on observing and

data collection, without incurring extra work or being
interrupted in their interactions with students.
HoloTracker is designed to become a compelling, useful habit for

teachers: “Putting hot triggers in the path of motivated people”.
