Abstract

As a core element driving technological progress and cultivating innovative talents, the spirit of scientists holds irreplaceable value in ideological and political education and scientific literacy development for contemporary universities. Through literature analysis and current situation assessment, this study systematically investigates the understanding and dissemination characteristics of the scientific spirit among college students. It identifies existing challenges including monotonous communication formats, insufficient content depth, weak international outreach, and low student engagement. The paper proposes targeted improvement strategies across four dimensions: innovating communication methods, enriching content, enhancing international communication, and boosting student participation. These findings provide valuable references for universities to strengthen the educational function of the scientific spirit and nurture scientific talents capable of undertaking the great mission of national rejuvenation.
