Investigation and Analysis of the Cultivation of Socialist Core Values Among Students From China’s Science and Engineering Universities Against the Backdrop of We-media

Abstract

At present, the rapid development of we-media poses new impact and challenges upon ideological and political education in colleges and universities. According to investigations held among students from China’s Science and Engineering Universities, students show strong addiction to we-media, a weak sense of responsibility for web posts and inconsistent apprehension and application of socialist core values; students’ gender, the year in college and political status are also factors relevant to their apprehension and application of socialist core values. It is a new but imperative task for ideological and political education crews to research on internet information spreading patterns against the backdrop of we-media and try to take advantage of the characteristics of we-media—free of time and space constrains—to promote cultivation of socialist core values.
