Research on Fostering Virtue and Cultivating People in Applied Undergraduate Universities from the Perspective of Recognition Theory

Abstract

At present, applied undergraduate universities face practical challenges in fostering virtue and talent, including the lack of emotional recognition, misaligned legal recognition, and deviations in achievement recognition—essentially reflecting a deficiency or misplacement of recognition. Therefore, guided by recognition theory, universities should build an all-round and multi-level approach to fostering virtue and talent across three dimensions: creating an educational environment with humanistic care, improving the student-centered institutional system, and establishing an integrated evaluation system of morality and skills, so as to ultimately cultivate high-quality applied talents with moral character, professional skills and a strong sense of responsibility who adapt to regional economic and social development.
