Nel Noddings was the Jacks Professor Emerita of Child Education at Stanford University; she also held the John W. Porter Chair in Urban Education at Eastern Michigan University. She had gained a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Montclair State College, New Jersey; a master’s degree in mathematics from Rutgers University, New Jersey; and a doct...
Nel Noddings is closely identified with the promotion of the ethics of care, – the argument that caring should be a foundation for ethical decision-making. Her first major workCaring(1984) explored what she described as a ‘feminine approach to ethics and moral education’. In later editions, Noddings uses ”relational’ – ‘the connotations of “feminin...
Nel Noddings sees education (in its widest sense) as being central to the cultivation of caring in society. She defines education as ‘a constellation of encounters, both planned and unplanned, that promote growth through the acquisition of knowledge, skills, understanding and appreciation’ (Noddings 2002: 283). Given the above, it is not surprising...
Nel Noddings suggests that neither utilitarianism (making decisions on the basis of anticipated consequences) nor deontology (principled reasoning) can provide a proper understanding of the way women approach ethical questions and concerns. ‘The approach through law and principle is not’, she suggested, ‘the approach of the mother.

She shows us that caring is a moral attitude ‘informed by the complex skills of interpersonal ...
The moral education of children is a matter of deep concern to everyone from parents to civic and religious leaders. It is no accident, then, that this subject has been a matter of apprehension and controversy throughout the history of American schools. Issues of morality touch an individual's most fundamental beliefs.
Summary. At core, moral and character education aims to develop the moral person. How this end state develops has been hindered by interest from different theoretical positions, differences between practitioners and theoreticians, different assumptions about how far character is educable, and associated measurement problems.

It helps students understand the difference between right and wrong, develop a sense of empathy and compassion, and cultivate virtues such as honesty, integrity, and respect for others. By integrating moral education into ...
Chapter 1 starts with a challenge that we seem to approach the current conditions of the world in which there is a simultaneously receding interest in issues of The Good, and an intensification in commitments to The Good. To move beyond the impasse of what could be characterised as a thoughtless relativism and a suffocating foundationalism, the ...

Definition. Ethics education is considered part of the human right to education. The purpose of ethics education is not to simply study ethics for its own sake. Rather, it aims to mobilize this body of knowledge for two purposes. The first purpose is to develop cognitive capacities that will enable individuals to identify ethical dimensions of ...
