ABSTRACT

At ZW University in China, 356 students in 10 classes across 5 majors participated in a semester-long experiment in ideal cultivation and patriotic education. The experimental group of students compared big data of COVID-19 prevention in China and other countries through short videos about news and opinions, shared and discussed these videos with the topic "looking at the national system from COVID-19 prevention and control" in the method of "new media micro participation." Students in the control group continued to learn and live in the same way as before. The experimental group sensed the success of China's anti-epidemic efforts and the spread of the disease overseas, understood China was more valiant in the face of catastrophic events, and had a deeper appreciation of the merits of the Chinese way of life. More students integrated their professional aspirations with the nation's modernization in the post-test as compared to the pre-test, which considerably increased their self-confidence and sense of national pride. Significant improvements have been made in academic achievement, learning passion, and learning attitudes. However, due to retaining the initial learning status, students in the control group did not experience significant changes in their patriotism, values and beliefs, learning passion, or academic achievement when compared to the pre-test. This experiment offers knowledge and examples for the development of college student’s ideal and the route of patriotic education.
