Abstract: Thanks to the diverse forms, the implicit content, the natural process, and the long-lasting effects, hidden curriculum can effectively teach college students core socialist values and meet their individualized and diversified needs in terms of cognition, emotion, and behavior. To this end, this paper discusses, from the perspective of different forms of hidden courses and with analysis of specific typical cases, the way to carry out core socialist values education based on hidden courses in the forms of textbooks, campus culture, social interaction and practice activities. The research results in the paper are of great reference value for exploring a new path to integrate ideological and political education in the college curriculum and improve the education of core socialist values.
