The Impact of Mobile Media on Ideological and Political Education for College Students 3.1 Mobile Media Challenges the Authority of Ideological and Political Educators With the emergence of mobile media and the increasing use of its applications, the authority of teachers has been weakened. First of all, the equality of the mobile media communication platform has narrowed the gap between the real social identity and status, effectively reducing the tension in the face-to-face communication between students and teachers, and the teacher’s identity authority is largely weakened. Secondly, the openness and comprehensiveness of the mobile media communication platform broaden the channels for college students to acquire knowledge, improve the enthusiasm of college students to learn independently, and students acquire more knowledge information, which weakens the teacher’s knowledge authority.

The openness of the mobile media communication platform makes it provide a large amount of knowledge and positive information for college students. It is also used by various domestic and foreign utilitarian forces to disseminate reactionary remarks, trying to distort the beliefs and values of college students through the platform. At present, the complicated social situation puts forward higher requirements for the political literacy of ideological and political education workers. It must have a firm belief and political stance, always keep a clear head, and then guide college students to correctly treat the relevant opinions of the mobile media, in a complicated situation. Establish the correct socialist core values. At the same time, noble moral literacy is also an indispensable quality for ideological and political educators who “build human soul engineers”.

Active learning and exploration skills to ensure smooth communication and efficient teaching with college students. www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/grhe Global Research in Higher Education Vol. 2, No. 2, 2019 101 Published by SCHOLINK INC. 3.3 Mobile Media Influences the Outlook on Life and Values That College Students Are Forming The university stage is a crucial period for students to explore the meaning of life through learning and practice, and to determine the goals and values of life, that is, to establish a outlook on life and values.
