Abstract

ABSTRACT Research intends to identify: features of ideological culture within China’s education sector; the most effective theory of ideology, capable of developing the individuals’ worldviews and values, revealing their civic-minded self-awareness; the dominant personality traits that can most effectively influence the moulding of civic-minded attitudes and social responsibility among China’s residents. This research project included an experiment conducted to determine the effectiveness of various theories of ideology in China’s education sector. As the experiment’s findings suggest, traditional Confucianism was identified as the most productive ideology (51.2%). The research findings may be used in the study of various ideologies, such as liberalism and neoliberalism, socialism, feminism, communism and social democracy, applicable to existing systems of ideological culture education in the globalization settings (within the context of pedagogical and psychotherapeutic activities, as well as in order to improve methods of teaching general subjects and education levels among students).
