Preferred term

caring in education  

Definition

  • In 1984, Nel Noddings published her book Caring: A Feminine Approach to Ethics and Moral Education, which articulated an ethic of care that she argued should underlie educational practice. Her work drew attention to the role of relationships in schools, but more recently, difference scholars have argued that White feminist conceptions of caring ignore the reality of racial and power imbalances and fail to provide a framework for understanding care within communities of color.
