In this highly readable book, Nel Noddings argues that the traditional organization of school studies around the academic disciplines short-changes not only the non-college-bound whose interests are largely overlooked but even those who are preparing for college. They receive schooling for the head but little for the heart and soul.

Sharing her words of wisdom, Dr. Nel Noddings reminds graduate students that the task of writing the dissertation is an academic exercise rather than a life's work-students should produce an accurate, quality product, and then move on! Noddings also highlights the benefits of continuous reading and contact with university colleagues from other disciplines-and gaining new material and maintaining a healthy sense of humility and appreciation through lifelong learning.
Find out more about being both an effective researcher and educator from Dr. Noddings in this clip. In this clip, Dr. Nel Noddings responds to audience questions regarding parental involvement in curriculum, aspects of public education that are "going right," student grading procedures, and advice for first-year teachers. While Dr. How are skills and knowledge acquired? Nel Noddings does not look at the mental processes that define learning; therefore, her views of learning are more contextual than scientific.
She does, however, comment on constructivism as her preferred theory on learning. Noddings writes, "Few scholars today would reject the notion that knowers actively construct their own knowledge. Noddings asserts that the majority of learning is done through the home life. Noddings agrees with E. Hirsch that: "In a democracy, all students should enter a grade ready to learn.
True, the requisite skills, background knowledge, and vocabulary for such readiness are very unequally provided by the children's home environment. With incidental learning, Noddings says the learning is done mainly through experiences in the home.
Here, she is mainly talking about the dinner table model. Noddings says that, "Dinner table conversation has long been recognized as educational. She states, "Parent and child work together, play together, and talk to each other, a child learns all sorts of things incidentally.
Another type of learning that Noddings talks about is differential learning. Differential learning occurs when, "Traditionally parents and teachers try to plan strategize, instruct, correct, monitor, and control.
Noddings makes a strong argument for field trips and teachable moments, for both home and school learning. Theory of Transmission: Who is to teach? By what methods?
What will the curriculum be? Nel Noddings says that both teachers in school and parents at home should be the ones to teach. Above all, Noddings says, "it is not enough to want one's students to master basic skills," but it is also necessary to help the student become a "loving human being" as well.
The teachers need to be aware of the broad interests of the students, and be willing to self-educate themselves in order to gain understanding about the various topics students might choose to learn. Noddings says that teachers need "to give up the notion of teaching their subject only for its own sake, and inquire deeply into its place in human life broadly construed.
Noddings writes, "teachers should be willing to discuss matters on which they have had no specific training and help students to create and learn powerful methods of investigation. Noddings also claims that the home is a primary place for children's education. Homes need to create a learning environment and should include such resources to do so. She says that, "First, every child should live in a home that has at least adequate material resources and attentive love.
As for the curriculum, Noddings suggests one that includes the broad ranges of interests of each student. This, she says, will mean more to the students than a general curriculum. She states that the curriculum needs to be, "cooperatively constructed by teachers and students. Because Noddings' theories of care are inherently religious, it is imperative to consider her views on religious, spiritual, and moral education.
Noddings believes it is achievable to bring spiritual education to the public sphere. For such an occasion, teachers must be knowledgeable about the beliefs and traditions of many world religious, as to give the students a comparative view of spiritual beliefs, rather than to offer a narrowed view which may restrict the spiritual views and opportunities of the students, not to mention violate federal law.
Noddings argues, though, that "public school teachers even now, in much less than ideal circumstances, can encourage intelligent reflection upon such controversial topics as feminism and religion, humanism and the meaning of life, and religious versus secular ethics.
Theory of Society: What is society? What institutions are involved in the educational process? While Noddings comments on our current society and how it is organized and how it functions, she also offers her suggestions as to how society should be run and how we might include different possibilities according to her theories of care. For example, one aspect of society that Noddings continually challenges is the fact that our society is historically and traditionally run by males, and that the "controlling class" [xlv] does little to offer opportunities to all people.
