ABSTRACT

This paper investigates a video education resource library named "Campus News Video Library" (CNVL) for students in secondary vocational schools in China. Attributed to secondary vocational school students' preference for visual learning, CNVL makes full use of multimedia and post-film technology to attract students to actively participate in the learning process. Through content production, the students personally experience the learning process in an immersive way. Our research focuses on exploring whether the teaching mode of CNVL could effectively enhance students' civic awareness. We used quantitative research methods to comprehensively evaluate the impact of "CNVL" on the civic awareness of secondary vocational school students. Cognitive theory and moral development theory of multimedia learning is deployed as theoretical framework to better understand the learning load and moral development process of students using CNVL. The research results are of significant for educators to understand how secondary vocational school students could benefit from video education in general, and the way to enhance students' civic awareness in specific.
