Abstract: Abstract Ideological and political education shapes students’ personality and their value orientations and is a significant factor in determining professional success. Due to the historical characteristics of the countries of the East and West, they have developed different approaches to the ideological and political education of students. Therefore, studying the Chinese experience of teaching based on ideology is of interest not only at the local level but also in the context of the modern global multicultural educational environment. The purpose of the study is to study the dynamics of students’ value orientations as a result of the influence of teaching based on ideological and political education. The study involved 186 first-year students of the School of Economics and Management (South China Normal University). The influence of ideological and political education on students was assessed using the test of motivational-value orientations by M. Rokeach and the test for diagnosing socio-psychological attitudes of a person in the motivational-need sphere by O. Potemkina. A statistically significant change in the hierarchy of terminal and instrumental values of students in teaching based on ideological and political education was determined. The hypothesis is confirmed that training in programs aimed at ideological and political education contributes to the formation of students of the priority of socialist moral values and political convictions. Further research is planned to be aimed at studying the influence of gender and ethnic factors on the ideological attitudes and political activity of students and the dependence of the dynamics of motivational and value attitudes with other results of ideological and political education on the duration of study at the university, as well as the features of ideological and political education in studying foreign languages.
