Abstract: Sense of collectivity has been upheld by Chinese culture since ancient times and training students’ collective identity is regarded as Chinese schools’ mission.From the perspective of Social Identity Theory,collective identity commences to be constructed as students’ entering schools and classes,with static totem and dynamic life as the means of delimiting and clearing the boundary of collectivity.Various kinds of competition among schools and classes make it possible for students to compare with other collectivities.By means of avoiding own collectivity’s weakness and making effort to optimizing own collectivity,positive evaluation is maintained.Through working as cadres,students’ self-advantages and self-esteem are strengthened,leading to the enhancement of students’ collective identity.
