Abstract

Ideological and political education (IPE) encompasses a multifaceted domain within the educational landscape, aiming to instill a comprehensive understanding of fundamental beliefs, values, and political processes. This study explores the effects of IPE on university students, with a specific focus on its contribution to fostering a more tolerant and inclusive mindset. The study utilizes a quantitative methodology, collecting information from 221 participants via a standardized survey and processing it with SPSS software for analysis. The study contributes novelty by delving into the transformative potential of IPE, particularly in fostering tolerance and inclusivity among students. The study indicates that active engagement in IPE programs can foster greater awareness and understanding of key political ideologies. Moreover, exposure to such education correlates positively with increased civic engagement among students. The results also suggest that comprehensive IPE enhances critical thinking skills and analytical abilities. Additionally, this form of education contributes to the development of a more tolerant and inclusive mindset among students. Finally, the study hints at an impact on students’ beliefs and behaviors in society. This research not only illuminates the complex dynamics of IPE within university settings but also underscores the transformative potential it holds for shaping well-informed, engaged, and socially conscious individuals.

期刊介绍： In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
