Some methods to enhance the effectiveness of cultural education on social media for students
One is education through political activities.
Political activities in colleges and universities contribute to raising students' awareness of the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and understanding of important political issues and events of the country, localities, organizations and unions. Through this, students' belief in the Party's goals and ideals, in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland is fostered, thereby promoting the initiative, creativity and positive political action of Vietnamese students.
The form and method of political activities for students need to be innovated to suit the psychology of youth, aiming to promote the initiative, independence and creativity of learners, taking learners as the center. The content of activities needs to focus on nurturing, educating, enlightening ideals, revolutionary moral traditions, guiding students to reach the good moral values of the nation.
Second, education through movements and activities of organizations and unions.
Movements and campaigns are typical methods of operation of youth unions and student associations in schools, in which the youth union plays a core role . Participating in movements and activities of unions and associations, students have the opportunity to learn and practice in practice, especially in behavioral skills and social communication, thereby forming a behavioral culture both in life and on social media. Many forms have been organized effectively, such as: emulation movements to study and follow Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style in schools; the campaign "5 Good Students" (good morality, good study, good physical strength, good volunteering, good integration) , "Every day a good news, every week a beautiful story", "Building a positive, friendly and healthy educational environment", "Vietnamese students study and follow Uncle Ho's teachings"...
Third, education through press and media.
Education through press and media is a suitable method for students. Through the press, cultural and behavioral education content on social media is widely disseminated to all students , with many rich and diverse forms, especially in the context of the development of electronic newspapers as it is today. Many press agencies open columns, radio and television channels for young people and students. This is considered a reputable and effective method of information transmission , helping young people in general and students in particular to exchange and share information, have a comprehensive awareness of the impact of social media and appropriate behavioral skills.
In addition to publications of official press agencies of the Party and State, youth union organizations in colleges and universities can coordinate with press agencies to issue specialized press publications and magazines with appropriate content , contributing to improving the effectiveness of cultural education on social media for students.
Fourth, education through the internet and social media.
It is necessary to promote this educational method because the social network environment is where students regularly and directly participate. Educational information about behavioral culture shared on the internet and social media will be highly popular, directly affecting the awareness and behavior of each student . To increase the flow of official and positive information, union and association officials in the school must regularly post information on community pages with many students participating, interact with students on forums and social media . Party organizations and unions in the school increase communication and exchange with students through online educational platforms , conferences, seminars , online educational channels , educational podcasts , mobile applications, learning management systems, etc.
In any method, the most important factor is still the initiative and self-awareness of each student in the process of learning, acquiring knowledge, and receiving information from cyberspace. From correct awareness and initiative and self-awareness, students will have a culture of behavior in accordance with standards, contributing to the formation of good personalities of the students themselves, building a beautiful image of the generation of Vietnamese youth who are proactive, creative, brave, intelligent, worthy of being the future owners of the country./.
