ABSTRACT

This study explores enhancing university students' sports morality through social network analysis within the "Three-Dimensional Education" framework, integrating moral, intellectual, and physical education. It focuses on how sports can be leveraged for moral education, in line with national vision. The research targets second-year students at Chongqing University of Technology enrolled in a badminton course, using social network analysis to identify key nodes that influence sports morality. By intervening with these central nodes, the study hypothesizes that positive behaviors will spread throughout the network, improving overall sportsmanship and teamwork. Through surveys and a targeted intervention experiment, the study aims to provide insights into the role of social networks in moral education and develop a model for future interventions to enhance university students' sports morality.
