Among non-Orthodox Jews, some wear a kippa while in synagogue and Hebrew school.
More information:
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a
reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned
emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in
statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even
then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice,
not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the
Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair
(Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only
her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered
beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).
