Engrossment

Definition: “an open, non selective receptivity to the cared-for” the one caring focus on the cared for’s project. (Noddings, 2011, Pg. 211)

"When I care, I really hear, see, or feel what the other tries to convey" - Noddings, 2011

Example: The one-caring listens and responds in a way that the cared-for receives and recognizes. When the cared-for receives the caring effort, the caring relation is completed. 

The teacher must see things from the learner's point of view. 

Created by Dr. O'Hara's EDU 207 class of fall 2015. Included are the concepts deemed important by the class.
