To improve this situation, the way of thinking and value orientation of the university moral education need to be cleared, so is its corresponding scientific practices. Based on the author’s working practices, study reflection and the integration of the goodness in both aims and means, the thesis presents a comprehensive study in the theoretical basis, content and methods of implementing people-oriented moral education in universities from the angle of theoretical construction and practical exploration.
