Problems and Countermeasures of Situation and Policy Course in Private Colleges —— Experience from Situation and Policy Course
Compared with other political theory courses, the special problems brought by the characteristics of Situation and Policy course change rapidly, the teaching material system is incomplete and the class hours are relatively few, so the discipline construction is often weak and has not attracted enough attention. For private colleges and universities, limited by various conditions, there is often a problem of weak teachers. Teachers in private colleges and universities are often busy with teaching for their own survival, and the time they can spare for teaching and scientific research is limited. However, the situation and policies require constantly updating hot and difficult issues and paying close attention to the changing contents of current events. This requires spending a lot of time on the teaching and research of the situation and policy course. When encountering major unexpected hot spots and sensitive issues, we should be able to adjust the teaching content quickly and timely. At the same time, the situation and policies are not unified and fixed in the teaching content, which is not conducive to the communication between peers. Due to the cost problem, the situation and policy course in private colleges and universities often adopts large class teaching, which leads to a series of problems such as difficult classroom organization, low participation, declining teaching quality and difficult teaching assessment.

Analysis on the Construction of Teaching Staff of Situation and Policy Course in Private Colleges and Universities

The characteristics of the situation and policy determine that this course puts forward high requirements for teachers: first, teachers must have good political theory cultivation, and only in this way can they consciously implement and publicize the party's line, principles and policies in teaching; Secondly, we should have a strong sense of responsibility and mission. Undoubtedly, the situation and policies play an important role in helping students to have a firm and correct world outlook and outlook on life in a complex world. For this reason, this course needs a highly responsible and dedicated teacher to teach. At the same time, due to the characteristics of Situation and Policy, a group of teachers with high sensitivity, courage to overcome difficulties and innovative consciousness, and ability to control complex problems in many fields are needed to teach. Frankly speaking, this is often beyond the ability of a teacher, even if the teacher is experienced and knowledgeable. It needs a team of high-quality teachers. In such a team, teachers have a common sense of professionalism and responsibility, complementary knowledge structure and so on. Whenever we encounter hot and difficult problems at home and abroad, this team can quickly evolve into a rapid reaction force, adjust the teaching content and effectively guide students in teaching practice. However, the number of teachers engaged in situation and policy teaching in private colleges and universities is relatively weak, and some political cadres, party cadres, counselors and even individual agency managers participate in situation and policy teaching, resulting in uneven teaching level and quality. These political cadres are usually busy with various administrative affairs, so it is difficult to have enough time to explore and improve their teaching. The private nature and market-oriented management mode of private colleges and universities make teachers tired of teaching and spend less time on scientific research and teaching research for their own economic interests. Private colleges and universities are short of teachers, young full-time teachers are busy teaching to make a living, and part-time teachers are difficult to manage, which is not conducive to the formation of a team of teachers who are obsessed with teaching.

Students' problems in the course of situation and policy in private colleges and universities

The expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities certainly gives more students the opportunity to receive higher education, but it also undeniably causes uneven quality of students. Private universities are at a disadvantage in the competition with public universities, and the quality of students is not high. Some students narrowly think that the course of situation and policy has nothing to do with them, only care about their professional courses, and take passing exams and employment as their motivation, without paying attention to the improvement of their humanistic quality. They don't attend classes, do their homework or finish their homework in a perfunctory way. These phenomena are caused by students and systems.

Countermeasures

Construction and standardization of the course content system of "Situation and Policy" under the discipline background

Discipline is the classification of knowledge. "Discipline consciousness means consciously taking discipline as the foundation and support of education and teaching, and learning knowledge according to academic classification". Situation and policy course belongs to political theory course. Although its specific content is changeable, the framework system can be divided into two parts: basic stability part and current affairs hot spot part. The basic stability part is the Marxist view of situation and policy. Hot topics of current affairs can be divided into economic topics, political topics, cultural topics, social topics and international relations topics. These two parts are intertwined, leaving the first-level discipline of Marxism, and the curriculum construction of situation and policy has become passive water. To construct and standardize the content system of the Situation and Policy course with the discipline as the background is to assign teachers of political theory courses with different majors to the above-mentioned different discipline teams, and focus on in-depth research on their own professional fields, thus forming a situation of specialization in the technical field. Then it is integrated into a large discipline framework, achieving the maximum efficiency of collective wisdom.

Attach importance to and strengthen the construction of teachers of situation and policy.

On the basis of scientific orientation of the course of Situation and Policy, we should change the traditional concept and attach importance to strengthening the construction of the teaching staff of the course. This requires private colleges and universities to change the wrong concept of belittling political theory teaching, changing the wrong concept of focusing on economic benefits and market-oriented, and paying more attention to social benefits and comprehensive benefits. Increase investment, expand the teaching staff and improve the treatment of teachers. Situation and Policy Teachers have worked hard to prepare lessons, and their teaching courseware should be constantly updated, and they should be rewarded accordingly in terms of academic remuneration. Reduce part-time teachers appropriately, introduce more full-time teachers, and form an effective teaching team as soon as possible. Although private colleges and universities are limited by conditions, it is difficult to introduce teachers with high academic qualifications and titles, as long as they are carefully selected, some master teachers introduced are often more energetic and professional. In the private colleges where the author works, some young teachers are more popular than old teachers in teaching situation and policies. Compared with some old teachers who have high professional titles but lack motivation, they are more energetic and energetic because of their single teaching method and lagging teaching content. Therefore, private colleges and universities can have their own ideas and models in the introduction and construction of teachers.

"Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" in private universities

Students in private colleges and universities are a special group different from ordinary public colleges and universities. In the large class teaching of situation and policy course, their self-discipline and self-study ability are not strong. Therefore, at the teacher level, we should try to choose topics that students are interested in to formulate teaching content. In courseware making, we should make full use of multimedia-assisted teaching equipment to make PPT with pictures and texts, rich content, rich information and rich flavor of the times, reflecting the social focus and difficulties. In specific teaching practice, we should strive to expand interactive links and diversified classroom activities, and adopt cases, topics, debates, questions and other ways in time to enliven the classroom atmosphere and arouse students' resonance. In view of the difficulty of teaching management in large classes, we should build a system from the school level, establish a teaching management system with the participation of class teachers as soon as possible, and give full play to the supervision and management functions of class teachers in order to optimize the classroom effect of the situation and policy course.

Actively explore new teaching mode of situation and policy.

With the development of cultural diversity, college students' subjective consciousness is more active and their personality development is increasingly prominent. The course of situation and policy should emphasize people-oriented teaching, respect students' individuality, make full use of information resources, innovate educational means, and guide and combine according to the situation. The so-called people-oriented, "is that all social development depends on people, for the development of people." The network teaching of the course Situation and Policy explored by the author in colleges and universities is the first step. By building the website of the school situation and policy course, we can make full use of network resources, innovate educational methods and expand educational space. In the information society, active college students are not only students in the classroom, but also eager to integrate into the teaching process, put forward their own doubts and state their views. The new mode of network teaching can improve the situation and arouse the enthusiasm. At the same time, it can also make teachers have clear goals and answer questions better. Private colleges and universities can make the best use of the limited teaching resources on the Internet, and at the same time make it convenient for students to consult, study, download and study at any time. At the same time, with the development of curriculum websites, private colleges and universities can also start a round of expansion of teaching resources in due course. Set up text, pictures and video columns on the webpage to explain hot issues; Enrich written, audio-visual materials; Making use of the information-rich characteristics of the Internet, it is an optional teaching method to set up relevant famous forums, experts, professors and links to situation and policy reports. You can also build an interactive platform between teachers and students on the Internet, where students can ask questions with real names and teachers can answer them regularly. Teachers try to use QQ space and online blogs to introduce hot issues, and use online interactive teaching to mobilize students' interest in learning current affairs to the maximum extent. Through the internet teaching mode, seize the main position of the network, carry forward the main theme, and guide students to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, values and socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

The old saying goes well: I advise God to be more energetic and not stick to one pattern to drop talents. Although it is a standard for selecting talents, it can also be used for reference in teaching. Private colleges and universities can explore their own characteristics in the process of exploring the educational model of this course according to their own characteristics and advantages.
