Awareness and use of career information sources among secondary school studen...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that investigated secondary school students' awareness and use of career information sources in Nigeria. The study found that students were most aware of parents, teachers, and churches as sources of career information. When it came to actually using sources, students reported most often using parents, classmates, and teachers. Students also found information from parents, churches, and teachers to be the most useful for career decision-making. Delays and inaccuracies in information received were among the top challenges faced by students seeking career information. The study recommends that parents help students utilize a wider range of career information sources.

THE EFFECTS OF COMMUNICATION NETWORKS ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: THE ...IJITE
Social networks, as the most important communication tools, have had a profound impact on social aspects of community user interactions and they are used widely in various fields, such as education. Student interaction through different communication networks can affect individual learning and leads to improved academic performance. In this study, a combined approach of social network analysis and educational data mining (decision tree method) was used to study the impact of communication networks, behavior networks
and the combination of these two networks on students’ academic performance considering the role of factors such as computer self-efficacy, age, gender and university. The results of this study, which included 139 students, indicate gender is highly prioritised in all three models. Moreover, according to the results all three models had enough confidence level that among them communication networks with higher
confidence, accuracy and precision had significant impacts on the prediction of academic performance.

ON THE USAGE OF DATABASES OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS IN MACEDONIAN EDUCATIONIJITE
Technologies have become important part of our lives. The steps for introducing ICTs in education vary from country to country. The Republic of Macedonia has invested with a lot in installment of hardware and software in education and in teacher training. This research was aiming to determine the situation of usage of databases of digital educational materials and to define recommendation for future improvements. Teachers from urban schools were interviewed with a questionnaire. The findings are several: only part of the interviewed teachers had experience with databases of educational materials; all teachers still need capacity building activities focusing exactly on the use and benefits from databases of educational materials; preferably capacity building materials to be in Macedonian language; technical support and upgrading of software and materials should be performed on a regular basis. Most of the findings can be applied at both national and international level – with all this implemented, application of ICT in education will have much

TEACHER’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS UTILISING FUTURE GADGETS IN EDUCATION ijcax
Today’s era is an era of modernization and globalization. Everything is happening at a very fast rate whether it is politics, societal reforms, commercialization, transportation, or educational innovations. In every few second, technology grows either in the form of arrival of the new devices/gadgets with millions of apps and these latest technological objects may be in the form of hardware/software devices. We are the
educationists, teachers, students and stakeholders of present Indian educational system. These gadgets/devices are partly being used by us or most of them are still unaware of these innovative technologies due to the mass media or economical factor. So, there is a need to improvise ourselves towards utilizing the future gadgets in order to explore the educational uses, barriers and preparatoryneeds of these available devices for educational purposes. This paper aims to study the opinion of the teacher-educators about the usage of future gadgets in higher education. It will also contribute towards establishing the list of latest technological devices, and how it can enhances the process of teachinglearning system.
This document discusses several factors that can influence student academic performance based on a review of related literature. It discusses internal classroom factors like student competence, class size, and external factors like family problems. It also discusses how social interaction plays an important role in cognitive development according to Vygotsky. Several studies found attendance has a positive correlation with performance, though a causal relationship cannot be determined. Physical activity is important for health and may positively impact classroom behavior and performance. Emotions and motivation also influence learning.
This document discusses a study conducted on the impact of social networking sites as information dissemination tools of government agencies, as perceived by second year Foreign Service students at Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite Campus.

Analysis of Rising Tutition Rates in The United States Based on Clustering An...csandit
Since higher education is one of the major driving
forces for country development and social
prosperity, and tuition plays a significant role in
determining whether or not a person can
afford to receive higher education, the rising tuit
ion is a topic of big concern today. So it is
essentially necessary to understand what factors af
fect the tuition and how they increase or
decrease the tuition. Many existing studies on the
rising tuition either lack large amounts of real
data and proper quantitative models to support thei
r conclusions, or are limited to focus on only
a few factors that might affect the tuition, which
fail to make a comprehensive analysis. In this
paper, we explore a wide variety of factors that mi

Early Career Faculties (ECFs) are an important demographic of university faculty population shaping the future of the institution and higher education, despite the challenges they face as new academics. Analysis of scholarly output on ECFs offers useful data to inform and aid both national policy formulations and institutional planning decisions especially in ECFs’ support and development. Peer-reviewed high impact journals and academic databases provide highly valid and reliable sources of data and information on ECFs. This study examines the trend of ECFs research over two decades comparing scholarly output and research impact across global regions, in Web of Science and Scopus Elsevier. The bibliometric analysis highlights key topics of research and publications related to ECFs and identify the regions and countries most actively research on the topic. The trend of research on ECFs has been found to increase exponentially beginning the 1990s worldwide, mostly from western institutions (76%). Publications after the year 2012 focused more on issues related to ECFs’ preparation towards life in academia, their motivation, and challenges, the support structure for ECFs and strategies to adapt to life as faculty members. Such bibliometric analysis findings can be a useful reference for policy formulation within national or regional systems of higher education, and institutional strategic planning.

Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?Christian Bokhove
Title: Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?
What is your talk about?
In Computational Social Science (CSS) we use computer science algorithms to analyse qualitative data at scale. In this talk I define CSS, describe what the opportunities and barriers are in using such methods, and give examples from published research, for example on analysing thousands of Ofsted documents.
What are the key messages of your talk?
The use of CSS methods makes it is possible to analyse some data sources at scale that previously would be unrealistic to analyse ‘by hand’.
What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?
CSS allows both more qualitative and more quantitative researchers to analyse unstructured data sources at scale.
Short Biography
Dr Christian Bokhove is an Associate Professor in Mathematics. In his research, he combines conventional qualitative and quantitative methods with novel computational methods.
This document discusses research on intercultural competences and social media. It covers several topics:
1. Social media monitoring tools can be used to analyze online discussions about intercultural topics like the Erasmus program and gain insights into public attitudes.
2. A "third culture" model suggests that social media may be developing its own universal communication styles that bridge different cultures. Memetic communication uses multimedia to make comments more attractive and understandable globally.
3. Cultural differences can still be observed in online behaviors, like what types of content people from individualistic versus collective cultures prefer to share.
4. Overall, while social media may be developing some shared communication norms, it also enables the externalization

Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?Christian Bokhove
Title: Computational Social Science – what is it and what can(‘t) it do?
What is your talk about?
In Computational Social Science (CSS) we use computer science algorithms to analyse qualitative data at scale. In this talk I define CSS, describe what the opportunities and barriers are in using such methods, and give examples from published research, for example on analysing thousands of Ofsted documents.
What are the key messages of your talk?
The use of CSS methods makes it is possible to analyse some data sources at scale that previously would be unrealistic to analyse ‘by hand’.
What are the implications for practice or research from your talk?
CSS allows both more qualitative and more quantitative researchers to analyse unstructured data sources at scale.

This document discusses research on intercultural competences and social media. It covers several topics:
1. Social media monitoring tools can be used to analyze online discussions about intercultural topics like the Erasmus program and gain insights into public attitudes.
2. A "third culture" model suggests that social media may be developing its own universal communication styles that bridge different cultures. Memetic communication uses multimedia to make comments more attractive and understandable globally.
3. Cultural differences can still be observed in online behaviors, like what types of content people from individualistic versus collective cultures prefer to share.
4. Overall, while social media may be developing some shared communication norms, it also enables the externalization

This document discusses applying new media tools like blogs and social media in primary school classrooms. It summarizes a case study of a school blog run collaboratively by a teacher, students, and parents over two years. Surveys of parents and focus groups with students found that the blog had positive impacts. It engaged students and parents in media literacy activities and diffusion of alternative media patterns. However, teachers need proper training to effectively integrate new media into teaching and develop students' digital literacy skills. The emergence of Web 2.0 requires new approaches to learning that are collaborative, learner-centered, and personalized.
BARRIERS FOR FEMALES TO PURSUE STEM CAREERS AND STUDIES AT HIGHER EDUCATION I...IJCSES Journal
Background and context: Even when the modern world is transitioning quickly into the digital age, the
gender gap continues to be more acute. Social scientists note the low number of women in Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) as a scientific, creative, economic, and innovative potential
loss. The importance of women’s participation in technical sciences and technical production is also
recognized as a factor for stable social development. Objective and method: A scoping review has been
conducted to study females’ reasonings and society-based explanations for females to choose STEM
studies at the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) level. The goal is to understand the reasons for the low
number of females in STEM careers related to education in STEM and to reveal the underlying
phenomenon. Results: The gender attitudes and stereotypes inherent in boy and girl children’s spare time
and school life narrow the children's possibilities from what specific education and career direction they
can choose. But only a few genetics and physical differences could postulate and explain this status quo.
Humans have formed a particular social framework; in the process, we have socialized childhood and
education. When choosing a future specialization, the society in which the child grew up, the family that
brought him up, and what traditions they invested in are much more important than his gender.
Implications: Based on our results, we summarise the scattered knowledge base and utilize the analyzed
summary for recommendations to further the development of HEI programs to make them more fitting for
both genders and help reduce the gender gap. The universities should cover the achievements of females,
more often in their media channels, related to the previously mentioned interest in STEM, based on the
presence of a role model. When choosing a university, girls can see a real example and be inspired to study
STEM majors

Recent years confirm that new media have become one of the basic elements of creating communication strategies for the EU institutions. Officials and main decision-makers are increasingly involved in the realm of social media. It is even more significant when we observe that they make use of this tools in a fully transparent way. Such activities add new dynamics to European communication policy. This paper discusses the real-time nature of the Internet communication sphere of the EU institutions created within the guidelines of the European Commission’s new communication strategy, which makes social media complementary to conventional informational operations.

A LITERATURE ANALYSIS ABOUT SOCIAL INFORMATION CONTRIBUTION AND CONSUMPTION O...Susan Campos
This document summarizes a literature analysis of social information contribution and consumption on social networking sites. It identifies 126 relevant articles published between 2008 and 2014. The analysis finds that most existing work focuses on social information contribution, its antecedents and favorable outcomes. Only a few studies examine contribution behaviors and the downsides of social networking site use. The analysis also categorizes the limited papers on consumption behaviors based on the characteristics of social information and identifies different underlying processes like social comparison, monitoring and browsing. The findings consolidate knowledge about social networking site usage patterns and individual well-being.
A Critical Review Of Research On Social Networking Sites In Language Teaching...Sara Alvarez
The document provides a critical review and analysis of 22 studies published between 2011-2017 on the use of social networking sites (SNS) for language teaching and learning. The review found that Facebook was the most commonly studied SNS, most studies focused on English language learners, and were conducted in the United States. The review identified five key themes across the studies: practicing language skills through SNS use, developing authentic interactions and intercultural competence, participating in online language communities, and constructing identities. The review concludes by discussing pedagogical considerations for incorporating SNS into language classrooms.
This study examined the use of social networks among 1,487 adolescents in Andalusia, Spain. The results showed that most young people consistently used social networks, with the average age of joining being 12.5 years old. Two main motivations for using social networks were identified: social and psychological. No significant gender differences existed in frequency of use, but motivations did differ - boys tended to be motivated by emotional factors while girls were more relationally motivated. The findings provide insights into how social networks can impact social integration, citizenship, and education among youth.
The social media use and the study habits of millennialsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Social media use and social networking poured internationally in the present that no academic institutions could stop its impact on education. Researches were conducted on the impact of these technologies and its effectivity to certain school conditions. Hence, this study aimed at describing the extent of the usage of social media as a vehicle to the improvement of study habits of the Carolinians especially to the stratified proportionate and randomly chosen 50 Grade Ten students of the University of San Carlos, Basic Education Department – South Campus in Cebu City, Philippines. Descriptive survey research using simple percentage, mean and standard deviation was done using an adapted survey questionnaire which was tested for face and content validity. To obtain reliability, the tool was pilot tested and was proven to be reliable (α = 0.891) using Cronbach‘s Alpha. Based on the gathered data, students spent most of their time in social networking sites whether on a typical day (28%) or weekend (46%) and they usually do this inside their bedroom (46%) or in an internet café (54%) outside. They usually use their mobile phones (76%) to visit social sites and the majority (34%) received less parental support. In terms of the students‘ level of study habit, it was rated average ( x = 3.32, SD = 0.33). This means that the use of social media does not give a negative influence on the study habits of the students in this study. Even if most of them utilized whatever available technology they have such as their mobile phones and they spend most of their time on internet cafés, it was recommended that parental involvement and teachers‘ wise use of technology, pedagogy, and content should be strengthened for these partners still play a significant role in achieving success both in instruction and education.

This document discusses education inequality in Ivory Coast in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies types of conventional education inequalities related to school attainment, distribution, completion, and learning outcomes. While efforts have been made to promote equality and equity, inequalities persist. The use of media education during COVID-19 in Ivory Coast revealed gender and regional inequalities. There were both similarities and differences between conventional and media-based education inequalities. Media education helped reduce some inequalities but also created new ones related to access and resources. Addressing issues like school locations, inequity, and rural-urban divides could help promote more equal education opportunities.
This document summarizes a research paper that examines how a lack of local legitimacy has undermined the effectiveness of UN peacekeeping missions in the Horn of Africa region. It finds that host governments and conflicting parties often perceived missions as inappropriate or partisan, reducing cooperation. When local actors see missions as illegitimate, they are less likely to comply or support them. The document analyzes how legitimacy deficits influenced specific missions, like UNOSOM in Somalia in the 1990s, which failed in part due to a lack of consent from powerful Somali warlords. Overall, it concludes that a lack of local legitimacy has made missions unable to resolve conflicts and promote sustainable peace in the region.

ABSTRACT—The application of new media in education has become the mainstream, and has become a hot
topic in academia and industry. This study attempts to explore the overall situation of the research on the
application of new media in education. Through the text mining of CNKI (n = 2830), the representative core
journals and “double first-class” University Master's theses are selected. The relevant documents used in
education by new media are used as random samples, and the article (n = 70) is coded and statistically analyzed
by content analysis method, and the new media in education is obtained. The number of research papers in use
shows a trend of rising first and then falling, and has penetrated into all directions of education. It is worth
noting that most of the research tends to practical research, has not yet formed a perfect academic system, and
needs to be optimized and improved in the scientific nature of research methods.
Keywords: New Media, Media in Education, Mainland China, Content Analysis, CNKI.
I. INTRODUCTION
At the beginning of the millennium, most people realized that we are going to enter the most dramatic
technological revolution in history, which is changing the way we work, communicating and wasting our
leisure time (Kellner, 2000). The new media with the application equipment with computer characteristics as
the carrier has the powerful communication function that the traditional media does not have. In addition to
being widely used in the field of Journalism and other fields, it is often regarded as a powerful force to promote
the progress of Education (Chang, Eleftheriadis & Mcclintock, 1998). However, new media has both good and
bad sides (Buckingham, 2007). Compared with traditional media, the different use of new media widens the
"digital divide" and creates greater social inequality. Education is a possible way to reduce this inequality (Lu &
Hindman, 2001). Therefore, it is also taken for granted by education researchers (Voithofer, 2013). In reality,
with the continuous improvement of our education system and educational facilities, new media has become an
important tool for daily teaching activities. With mobile phones, tablets, computers and other media as carriers,
students' ideology faces a complex network environment (Xu & Ruan, 2020). The echo chamber effect
generated by media algorithm recommendation will expand its negative impact on students with weak
recognition ability and insufficient social experience (Yang &Yang 2019).
European and American scholars first defined the term "new media". In 1976, gold mark of CBS
network technology research institute first proposed that it became a hot topic in the academic circle and
industry in Europe and America (Yue, Wang & Liu, 2010). Then, European and American scholars have a
comprehensive interpretation of new media, including a comprehensive definition from the perspective of
technology, audience use habits and the overall social environment. According to scholars such as Luo les, the
carrier form of new media is mainly computer and media with computer characteristics, which makes the
information exchange and communication of network audiences more convenient and quick; e. Rogers points
out that new media changes the traditional information exchange channels, unblocks the information exchange
between the communicator and the audience, and makes the new media information communication produce
new social significance and value (Lu, 2007).

New media, as a broad concept developing with the technology updating, has its own understanding and
definition. However, most scholars believe that new media is not totally different from the traditional media,
but on the basis of technology updating, the functional upgrading of traditional media (Liao, 2008). The new
media is the media that uses computers or digital devices with computer functions to transmit and receive
information (Kuang, 2009). With the upgrading of computer equipment, there are many kinds of new media
carriers that can be called by the public, but they are mainly divided into computer-based and mobile phone
based new media (Yue et al., 2010). Although the academic research on new media in the field of Journalism
and communication education is relatively rich, it is similar and not perfect. In addition, the new media put
forward new challenges to the research in all directions of education. They have been involved in education
managers, family education, national defense education, Chinese international education, general law education
and health education. In the discipline of management, new media has also studied the training of leaders.
Therefore, this study starts from the research results and research methods of new media in all directions of
education discipline, and analyzes new media, teaching and research in the field of Education.
II. METHODOLOGY
This research adopts the method of content analysis, that is, through the selection of authoritative
professional academic journals, namely CSSCI journals and two first-class university Master's dissertation as
the whole, and selects the empirical research as the main part and the thesis with relatively high citation rate as
the sample to quantitatively describe and summarize the coding and statistical analysis of the thesis.
Sample
This paper focuses on the application of new media in education. Therefore, the key words "new
media" or "all media" or "melt media" or "self-media" and "education" are searched on the HowNet
respectively. CSSCI journals and papers on related topics in Graduation Theses of two first-class universities
are selected for screening, and papers mainly based on empirical research methods are selected. The specific
operations are as follows:
Figure 1. Phases of the bibliographic search process
Through the HowNet, 2370 papers of non CSSCI journals and non-double first-class universities are
excluded, and for 390 papers with inconsistent questions, 70 qualified research papers were selected as samples.
This paper mainly measures and describes four variables of new media in Education: publishing trend,
research topic, research method and research discipline. The specific measurement and coding methods of the
four variables are as follows: first, release trend. 70 samples are numbered and counted from 2011-2019 to
obtain trend chart. The second is the research topic. 70 samples are selected for content reading, which is
divided into major themes such as ideological and political, news communication, education, management and
the following small themes in different research directions. Third, research methods. The sample selection is
mainly based on empirical research, but not excluding a small number of non-empirical research with relatively
high citation rate. The non-empirical research is classified into quantitative research method, qualitative
research method and hybrid method. The qualitative research is mainly divided into literature method, field
investigation method, case study method, interview method, participatory observation method and comparative
method

Output Indicators
The sample selects 70 CSSCI journals and two first-class university graduation theories in 2011-2019.
As can be seen from Figure 2, the number of published papers in 2011-2018 has an overall upward trend. The
data in 2019 is still being collected, but it can be predicted. It is estimated that the number of papers published
in 2019 will be the same in 2018, even more than in 2018. Therefore, the application of new media in the field
of education is more and more extensive, and more and more researchers are engaged in the related research of
new media in the field of education, which shows that the interdisciplinary research is becoming a sunrise
research field, and has great research potential and value.

Research topics and their distribution
Intelligent mobile devices and Internet communication technology are constantly updated and
upgraded, which has given birth to media interaction platforms such as microblog, WeChat and short video, and
has a subtle impact on people's life, learning and work. At the same time, they interact with various industries,
and integrate with different disciplines. At the same time, many different issues related to new media and
education have emerged.
Table 1. Theme distribution (%)
4. American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020
ARJHSS Journal www.arjhss.com Page | 83
It can be seen from table 1 that as long as the theme of the application of new media in education is
focused on Ideological and political, news and communication, education and a small number of management,
the ideological and political education is divided into six secondary themes, namely, traditional culture, national
unity, patriotism, college Students' ideals and beliefs, young people's religious beliefs and ideological and
political education politics. The proportion of governance education as the theme is the largest, accounting for
45.7%, which is also the largest literature research of all kinds of major themes.
Secondly, in the category of news communication, it is mainly divided into 10 secondary themes,
namely, the brand communication of educational newspapers and magazines, the influence of American news
education on China, media literacy education, the construction of media teaching laboratory, news media
education, advertisement education, educational public opinion, sports news education, media environment and
application research, and television education news, of which the research of news communication education
accounts for 5 7%, the largest proportion, followed by media literacy education (4.3%). In addition, in the
education category, it is divided into 8 secondary themes, including education function, basic educators' use of
new media, education policy, family education, national defense education, international Chinese education,
universal law education and health education, of which family education accounts for 4.3%, the largest
proportion, followed by universal law education.
The third category is management, accounting for 2.9%. In the three categories, the largest proportion
is ideological and political (57.1%), followed by news communication (25.7%), education (15.6%) and
management (2.9%). It can be seen that in the research of new media in education, ideological and political
research is the most popular topic of research literature, and it is also the subject of thorough research. Media
literacy education in news communication is also the subject of research number, and There are many topics in
the literature, but few studies on Chinese and Foreign Journalism and communication education, so there is a
wide range of research space. Secondly, in education, the research on new media in family education accounts
for a large proportion, which is also the mainstream direction of new media research in education. Secondly,
new media has a large research in general education, national defense education, health education, basic
education managers and other directions In terms of space, a small number of topics involve the field of
management, such as the use of new media to study the education and training of leaders. This part of research
is less and can be used as the direction of follow-up research.
Research methods and their distribution
In the era of new media becoming the main media for people to obtain and disseminate information, it
plays an important role in the field of education. The application of new media in education not only needs to
understand its traditional research methods, but also needs to explore new research methods and ways, and
explore the value and laws behind.
Table 2. Distribution of research methods in the application of new media in Education (%).
According to the data in Table 2, the research methods used by new media in education are mainly
literature method, accounting for 30.9%, followed by case analysis method, accounting for 17.5%, comparative
method, 11.3%, mixed research method, accounting for 11.3%, among which non empirical research accounts
5. American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020
ARJHSS Journal www.arjhss.com Page | 84
for 14.4%. It can be seen that the research methods used in the education of new media are mainly literature
analysis of qualitative research, which is also one of the main methods of social science research.
With the increasing use of new media in education themes, research content is increasingly in-depth,
research methods should follow a similar development process. If we simply regard the investigation method
and the mixed research method as the relatively standard scientific research method, and the literature analysis
method and the non-empirical research method as the relatively unscientific research method, the data shows
that the relatively unscientific research method is higher than the relatively scientific research method, which
also shows that the research of new media in education should strengthen its scientificity and standardization.
III. DISCUSSION
New media generally refers to on-demand access to content at anytime, anywhere, on any digital
device, as well as interactive user feedback and creative participation. It also refers to real-time generation of
new and unregulated content (Dijk, 2012). It has the characteristics of diversified disseminators, hypertext
content, platform channels, and audience segmentation, which is not available in the era of traditional media.
The core factor driving the birth of new media is the continuous upgrading of information technology and
digital technology, changing the coding, dissemination and acceptance of information, so that information is no
longer a simple two-way communication, but a dynamic and complex multi polarization communication. To
sum up, new media is a kind of media with a wide range of communication speed and two-way interaction
generated under the premise of the continuous development of Internet technology and computer technology
compared with traditional media. Their hardware forms mainly include notebook computer, smartphone, pad,
and software forms include news client, social software and various kinds of app with information Application.
The earliest research of new media in the field of education is defined as “educational technology”. Educational
technology was first formally defined by Donald ely in 1963 as "audio visual communication is a branch of
educational theory and practice, focusing on the design and use of information that controls the learning
process" (Januszewski, 2001, pp.18). Its definition clearly clarifies the essence of educational technology, that
is, "audio-visual communication" is educational technology. The audio-visual technology in the 1960s and
1970s refers to photography, film, television and other media, which are labeled as "old media", in sharp
contrast to the "new media" that developed and flourished after digitalization in the 1980s. (Yuan, 2015, pp. 4).
The research of new media in the field of pedagogy in China mainly focuses on Ideological and political
education, journalism and communication education and other disciplines.
In the field of ideological education, the influence of new media on college students presents complex
and dynamic changes. Generally speaking, there are two aspects. One is that the new media plays a positive role
in the establishment of College Students' ideology and political concept. This is based on the reception of
positive content in the new media. However, due to the mixed content of the new media, compared with the
traditional knowledge dissemination, the new media loose the information, which is likely to produce for
students who are weak in distinguishing right from wrong Negative effects (Wang, 2013). Therefore, in the era
of new media, it is necessary to innovate the teaching mode of Ideological and political education, build an
interactive platform between teachers and students, grasp the ideological trends of students, so as to improve the
teaching effect (Ji, 2016).
In the study of the application of new media in patriotism education, some scholars try to explore how
to carry forward and inherit patriotism better in the new media era. Patriotism is the basic moral standard of
Chinese citizens, but the emergence of new media brings new opportunities to patriotism education, enriches
the resources of patriotism education, widens the channels of patriotism education, and deepens patriotism
education At the same time, new media has diversified information, increased the complexity of patriotism
education, challenged the status of patriotism educators, and weakened the patriotic feelings (Wang, 2016).
Therefore, in the era of new media with noisy public opinion environment, we should purify the network space
environment, grasp the key point of patriotism education, and guide the rational return of patriotism with the
help of normative force. Cui and Zhang (2020) proposed to strengthen the monitoring of information, expand
the channels of patriotic education, cultivate patriotic feelings, and attach importance to self-education.
However, the author believes that under the new media environment, the positive effect of patriotism education
is greater than the negative effect. We should use scientific and reasonable methods to carry out patriotism
education, avoid excessive education methods, and make the new media play its due role in patriotism
education.
The research of new media in Ideological and political education mainly focuses on the analysis of
current situation, the raising of problems, and the corresponding suggestions from the perspectives of
government, technology, educators and students. The research on the application of new media in journalism
and communication education focuses on journalism and communication education, media literacy education,

Chinese and Foreign Journalism and communication education research, education journalism research, public
opinion research, advertising education and other directions. Most scholars believe that in the era of new media,
the education of news communication needs to keep pace with the development of technology. The rapid
development of new media puts forward new requirements for the traditional information production and
communication, and the in tegration and application of media bring up different standards for the cultivation of
traditional news communication talents. In Colleges and universities that offer traditional journalism and
communication majors, there are awkward imagination, such as the classroom teaching content is difficult to be
used in practical operation, the teaching content of teachers is too old, and the curriculum arrangement is rigid
(Hu, 2014).
In the era of new media, the teaching of news communication should not only keep the traditional
courses of basic knowledge learning and basic writing ability practice in the teaching of news communication,
but also set up innovative courses that are in line with international standards, close to the market and
technological innovation, and constantly improve the teaching skills of teachers, update the corresponding
teaching facilities and equipment, establish a new media practice base with enterprises, and cultivate Practical
skills of students (Mo, 2011; Li & Zhu, 2018). At the same time, the innovation of the education and training
system of news communication requires not only the renewal and change of curriculum content, but also the
optimization of teacher structure (Zou, 2011). In the future, the division of Journalism and communication
disciplines and the arrangement of courses put forward that the cultivation of Journalism and Communication
Talents in the era of new media should realize theoretical and practical change and innovation (Chen, 2012).
Media literacy education may become an effective health promotion strategy to improve students’
harmful health behaviors (Bergsma & Carney, 2008). In the study of media literacy education in China, by
comparing the media literacy education in foreign countries, it is found that the media literacy education in
China is in the initial stage, and there is still a huge space for improvement. It is necessary and important to
carry out media literacy education. It is suggested that the media literacy of students should be cultivated and
improved through three aspects of universities, government and Society (Liu, Yang, Bao & He, 2018). As a
result, digital literacy needs to be seen as part of a broader literacy re understanding, as well as the use of
technology in Education.
In the comparative study of Chinese and Foreign Journalism and communication education, through
the curriculum, practice platform, Through investigation and Research on the content of news programs, it is
found that there is a serious derailment between curriculum teaching and practice in China's news
communication education, and the update of media technology makes this dilemma more and more obvious.
Therefore, it is proposed that China's news communication education should keep pace with the latest
development of the industry (Zhang, 2013). In addition, based on the observation of "mobile and social media
journalism" course of Virginia Federal University, the paper analyzes the teaching purpose, teaching method,
semester assessment and practice of Editorial Department of the course, and concludes that China's journalism
and communication education should be integrated into the mainstream of internationalization, encourage front-
line teachers to be brave in curriculum innovation, and make journalism and communication education meet the
needs of practice (Yi, 2016).
In the research of sports news education, by comparing the sports news education in Colleges and
universities at home and abroad, it is concluded that there is a disjunction between China's sports news
education and the needs of China's new media sports news communication, the sports news teaching materials
are old, the corresponding teacher structure needs to be optimized and the curriculum should be synchronized
with practice (Zhang, 2011). Therefore, through expert interviews, literature analysis and other methods, it is
proposed to change the concept of sports news education, cultivate all media talents, highlight the cutting edge
and characteristics, strengthen general education, build a full media teaching system, and realize the
transformation of education evaluation (Li & Xiao, 2013).
Scholars think that new media puts forward new standards for advertising teaching. By using the
method of on-the-spot investigation, this paper investigates the University of Texas at Austin, and analyzes the
courses, teaching concepts and teaching methods of undergraduate advertising education in this university. It is
believed that the development of applied advertising in Chinese advertising education is closely related to and
has a diversified knowledge system, innovative experiments (Zhang, 2013), innovative teaching concepts and
practical teachers’ pay attention to case study of advertisement and increase the proportion of practical teaching
(Zou, 2018).

It can be seen that in the research of new media in the field of news communication education, the
research objects are mainly undergraduate and master students of news communication science, and the
research contents are mainly news communication courses, teaching methods and the research of Chinese and
foreign news communication. In addition, the research on the quality of new media is also a key research field.
How to improve the learning of Internet users and news communication specialty Students' media literacy
becomes a place for researchers to think about. The new media in national defense and national defense
education, through the form of questionnaire survey, quantitative and qualitative combination, come to the
conclusion that in the national defense education of colleges and universities, there are old curriculum, single
education mode and lack of corresponding professional teachers. Therefore, it is proposed to build a
professional national defense education teachers’ team, enrich the content of national defense education, and
actively guide the opening of universities Self education and other measures (Zhang, 2018). In the era of new
media, the law popularization education should be innovated in its communication content, channels and
methods. It is proposed to cultivate citizens' legal awareness, integrate legal communication channels, and
strengthen communication and dialogue (Gao, 2018).
The research of new media in health education finds that compared with traditional media, the
popularity and application of new media has a subtle impact on College Students' mental health. Although it
broadens students' cognitive horizons, it also makes the growth environment of the educated more complex,
thus weakening the teachers' ability to spread knowledge and authority (Zhu, 2016). Therefore, from the
perspective of the education, it is proposed to design courses that are close to their discourse system and
cognitive structure, and to provide online education resources, optimization and integration of resources, strict
audit and control, and play the positive role of new media in health education (Du, 2016). Research of new
media in the education and training of leading cadres, the new media era puts forward new challenges to the
governance ability and governance style of governments at all levels in China, making some deep-seated
contradictions in various fields of government increasingly exposed (Li, 2017), using WeChat, microblog and
other new media platforms, changing the traditional teaching mode, building an interactive communication
mechanism to meet the personalized needs of students , improve its business capacity (Liao, 2015).
IV. CONCLUSION
To sum up, new media has been involved in national defense education, law popularization education,
health education and other directions, and basically put forward solutions to the current situation and existing
problems, but lack of academic support in theory. Although the existing research has made some theoretical
reflection and Exploration on the application of new media in education, it is still in the state of fragmentation
and looseness, the core concepts have not yet formed a consensus, and the system academic system has not yet
been established. Therefore, the research of new media in pedagogy should strengthen the theoretical
construction. Based on the characteristics of the application of new media in education, we should creatively
put forward the meta theory, clarify the core concepts and basic issues, define the boundaries of academic
fields, and have independent research methods, so as to form a systematic research paradigm.
This paper mainly focuses on the application of new media in education in China, but the new media is
a global media revolution. In the current era of education globalization and networking, how to use new media
to achieve education equality and optimization of education resources has become a topic for scholars and the
industry to discuss. Especially in the period of the spread of major public epidemics, how to use new media to
carry out online teaching in Colleges and universities at home and abroad has become the current hot spot.
Therefore, in the next step, the author will extract relevant literature from foreign academic databases for
content analysis, improve the overall research situation of the application of new media in the field of education
at home and abroad, and provide reference for subsequent scholars' research.
