The value-laden nature of knowledge means that the process of knowledge transmission carries significant regional imprints. In higher education discipline instruction, how the presence of the state is realized has become a topic worth discussing. This article reviews the development history, current trends, and challenges faced by sociology education in Chinese universities. The research finds that the presence of the state is significantly evident in sociology education at Chinese universities. In the practice of sociology education, there exists a synergistic operation of three logics: institutional logic, professional logic, and educational logic. Among these, institutional logic is the core logic in the implementation process of sociology education, professional logic is the foundational logic in the operational process of sociology education, and educational logic is the formal logic in the practice process. The disciplinary ideals and patriotic sentiments determine the value basis for the synergistic operation of these three logics. The presence of the state functions through the diffuse form of institutional logic, embedding the value-laden nature of knowledge through the coding process into the professional logic, and then realizing it through the educational logic.
