| Summary |
"The structure of the American educational system makes it a priority to nurture students' intellectual growth, yet there is little accountability for monitoring the holistic growth of students. Along with overseeing students' cognitive development, Nel Noddings charges her teachers with nurturing students' moral and ethical development through her advocacy of care theory. Care theory seeks to create responsive classroom environments in which members of the classroom relate to one another in positive and constructive contexts. The purpose of this research was to examine the application of care theory in one 7th grade general music class in a northern New Jersey school. The study was framed as an action research with the researcher acting as the teacher of the music class. Data were collected through document analysis, observation, and interviews over the course of one 30-day music cycle. The results of this study indicate that music became a means of connection between members of the classroom, a means to examine ethical issues in society, and a means to empower students within the classroom. Care theory was naturally synthesized into the curriculum of the music classroom and it worked to significantly foster teacher-student connections and student-student connections"--P. v. |
