Abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of three theoretical frameworks
that appear related to teachers who manifest an ethic of care. An in-depth review
of related literature develops Noddings' theory of the ethic of care, focusing on
defining care in teaching. It is further supported with theories of moral development,
the theory of relational knowing, and the role of self in teacher development.
This article provides support for considering and incorporating the development
of an ethic of care as fundamental pedagogical content knowledge to be included
in pre-service teacher education.
