Abstract:

The information dissemination of self-media with rapid development presented the characteristics of “decentralization, interaction, fast spread and varying quality of content”, which brings challenge to the university students’ consciousness and traditional mode of higher education. The research shows that the way of forming students’ awareness of national defense shows diversified characteristics. They haven’t paid enough attention to national defense, and the ability to identify needs to be improved. Compared with direct access to the national defense knowledge, students prefer practical classes and field visits form of national defense education more. National defense education should further adjust their thinking, take full advantage of the network platform, and carry out educational work accordingly.

Key words: self-media, college student, national defense consciousness, national defense knowledge
