Noddings, an American educator, has put forward the theory of Caring Education based on the thought of Female Ethics of Care. She believes that the core of school education is to teach students to care. The aim is to cultivate capable, caring and loving people who are worthy of love. Noddings' Caring Education Theory emphasizes the cultivation of caring students and caring teachers, pays attention to the continuity of education, and holds that school curriculum should be organized with the theme of care. The theory of Caring Education tells school teachers that they must respect students' subjectivity, embody students-oriented; establish caring teacher-student relationship, promote teacher-student interaction; attach importance to the practicality of moral education, and improve students' moral quality.
