Abstract

In the new era, the advancement of networked society and the development of internet users are mutually reinforcing. As the backbone of China's internet population, the network literacy of contemporary university students not only relates to personal self-improvement and comprehensive development, but also impacts the construction of a cyberspace power strategy, national prosperity and stability, and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From the perspective of ideological and political education, this study investigates the cultivation of network literacy among university students through a survey conducted at XX University. A questionnaire was designed across three dimensions: basic network usage patterns, evaluation of online content and information, and cybersecurity awareness with self-protection mechanisms. The findings reveal three urgent issues: inadequate effectiveness of current network literacy education, prevalent internet addiction among students, and moral anomie in cyberspace. Based on these findings, the study analyzes root causes and proposes contextualized cultivation approaches to maximize the effectiveness of network literacy education in the digital age.
