Abstract:
|
This paper reports the findings of a study investigating differences in 825 sixth-grade students’ perceptions of caring teacher behaviors based on student minority status. While this research is based on Noddings’ ethic of care in schools (2005), it responds to concerns that her theory is mono-cultural by reorienting “[theories of care] in ways that systematically account for race, class, gender, cultural, and other differences” (Thompson, 1998, p. 528). This research addressed the question, “What are the differences in students’ perceptions of caring teacher behaviors based on student minority status?” using Fordham and Ogbu’s theory of minority status groups (1986). There were 17 items on which there were significant differences in students’ responses based on minority status, demonstrating that care does look different to different groups of students. Therefore, teachers must care for their students in culturally-congruent ways if all students are to receive the benefits of caring teacher-student relationships. |
