Identity-Centered Multicultural Care Theory: White, Black, And Korean Caring (Essay‪)‬

Introduction There is a very intimate relationship between how caring the teacher is and the knowledge that students gain. Actually, it is not limited to student-teacher relationships only but also student-student relationships. Knowledge is something people acquire as they build relationships and have interactions with others and the world around them. Depending on how caring the teacher is and the other students are, the students can improve their chances of becoming knowers. When people talk about someone being a knower, they tend to focus mainly on the pure knowledge they gain, instead of looking at the process of gaining knowledge. Care theory plays an essential role in the process of gaining knowledge and teachers or other care givers should pay attention to this process instead of only what they get as a result, which is knowledge. In other words, instead of teachers focusing on the result-centered education such as assisting students to get good grades, they should pay more attention to learn the effective way of caring that can positively influence students and eventually assist students to receive better results.
