Abstract

In order to explore the effect of Revolutionary Culture education on secondary vocational education students' national identity, this study used a pre- and post-test comparison experiment to randomly select 200 students from 2 secondary vocational schools in Fuzhou City, divided into an experimental group (Revolutionary Culture education political course) and a control group (regular Civic and Political Science course), and carried out a 7-week course intervention. The study used a self-developed secondary vocational school students' national identity scale to measure changes in the four dimensions of students' perception, performance, influence and practice, focusing on the interactions in time and intervention modality, and analysed the data by SPSS27.0. The results showed that Revolutionary Culture education significantly increased the level of students' national identity (p<0.001). However, the enhancement of the affective dimension was relatively limited, indicating that students' internalisation of national identity still needs to be strengthened. This study confirmed the unique value of Revolutionary Culture education in the Civics and Political Science curriculum, and suggested that the path of emotional identity cultivation needs to be further optimised to promote the comprehensive internalisation of national identity. This curriculum intervention programme can effectively improve the status quo of national identity of secondary vocational school students, and has a positive contribution to the enhancement of the level of national identity of secondary vocational students.
