Abstract

According to Noddings, the four elements of caring moral education comprise role-modeling, dialogue, practice, and affirmation. In primary school clubs, the "role-models" are parents and teachers; as role-models, they nurture the possibility of student self-management. The purpose of dialogue for self-management is to enable students to autonomously regulate their emotions, goals, time, and resources. The outcomes of self-management can be displayed through talent performances; different activity categories are organized as special sessions. Although the themes vary, they are fundamentally practices of caring for society.
