Nel Noddings (2012) is a prominent care theorist, stressing the need for cooperative learning. Noddings states:
Change is needed, but it will be very difficult. All over the world, thoughtful educators now emphasise the need to place cooperation over competition. This does not mean to eliminate competition entirely; some competition is both necessary and healthy. At its best, it helps us to improve performances and turn out better products. In the 21st century, however, recognition of our global interdependence and a commitment to cooperation must replace the 20th-century emphasis on competition.
Recall your schooling experiences. What role did cooperation and competition play? How have these experiences impacted your life (for the better)?
I welcome your thoughts.
