The Dynamics of Education Public Opinion Governance: An Evolutionary Game Theory Approach

The governance of education public opinion has become a pressing issue in the digital age, where information dissemination is rapid, and public sentiment evolves dynamically.This study applies evolutionary game theory to model the strategic interactions among four key stakeholders: the media, government, netizens, and schools.Using bounded rationality assumptions, a quadripartite game model is developed to analyse the decisionmaking behaviours and stability conditions of these actors.MATLAB-based simulations reveal that government regulations, media reporting accuracy, school responsiveness, and netizen participation significantly influence public opinion evolution.Key findings indicate that proactive governance measures, such as transparent media policies, responsive educational institutions, and strategic government interventions, contribute to a more stable public opinion environment.The study provides a quantitative foundation for optimising policy decisions and improving the effectiveness of education public opinion management.Future research should explore real-world case validations and AI-driven predictive modelling to enhance the adaptability and efficiency of public opinion governance systems.
