Abstract

The Internet is permeating the education sector as it becomes more informationized, which includes providing students with information to make learning and learning-related decisions easier. However, few studies have investigated how the information cocoon effect of the Internet and the social network (strong & weak ties) in sociology can influence students’ choice of major. After combining and summarizing a number of literature, the research results show that the information cocoon effect and social networks can be combined, and a large number of weak ties can be found and utilized through the Internet itself to establish a social network, so as to obtain more diversified information to counter and break the information cocoon.
