National defense education in colleges and universities is an important part of national defense education for all. Identify the factors that restrict the development of national defense education, take colleges and universities as the main body, rely on society, seize the key time and place, carry out educational activities in an all-round way, and strive to achieve the best educational results.

First, several problems in education

Since the promulgation and implementation of 200 1 People's Republic of China (PRC) National Defense Education Law, colleges and universities have attached great importance to the national defense education of college students. Many beneficial explorations have been made in personnel training, leadership mechanism and education mode, and a good situation of "government attention, social support and national participation" has gradually formed, and national defense education has achieved remarkable results. However, there are still many problems in college students' national defense education, which hinder the development of college students' national defense education in a deeper and broader direction.

First, college students lack national defense knowledge and weak national defense concept. College students have a clear understanding of the importance of national defense construction and a basic understanding of the principles, principles and contents of national defense education. However, most students do not have the consciousness of joining the army and dedicating themselves to national defense, and they are not clear about the glorious revolutionary tradition, the fighting spirit of the army, the mission and functions of our army and other basic knowledge.

Some people think that national defense construction has nothing to do with themselves, and the army should take full responsibility for national security. Some people think that the greatest significance of participating in military training is to experience life and exercise the spirit of suffering. Some even oppose and boycott military training courses, dislike the rigid and inhuman military management system, and think that time should be spent on learning scientific and cultural knowledge.

Second, there are few educational means and methods and the educational effect is not obvious. According to the questionnaire survey statistics. There are three channels for college students to receive national defense knowledge: TV media, newspapers and magazines, and classroom education, accounting for more than 95% of their knowledge acquisition, reflecting the current predicament of single means of national defense education and few information channels.

As the main position of education, classroom education mostly adopts the way of teachers' active indoctrination and students' passive giving and receiving, which does not stimulate students' interest and enthusiasm well. The teacher did not divide and integrate the knowledge well, and did not find a suitable knowledge entry point to sublimate the knowledge mastered by students into the concept of national defense.

Second, some thoughts on solving the problem

To do a good job in national defense education for college students, we must conscientiously implement the relevant provisions and requirements of the National Defense Education Law, give play to the leading role of the government, win the full support of the society, analyze the characteristics of educational objects, explore innovative educational means, seize the key time and place to carry out educational activities in an all-round way, and strive to achieve the best educational results.

First, strengthen the leading role of the government and improve the educational function of the government. The government attaches importance to national defense education. It is the key factor that affects the effectiveness of national defense education. In order to ensure the national defense consciousness of the whole people, we must give full play to the leading role of the government. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the concept that national defense education is the "primary responsibility" of the government, take the effectiveness of national defense education as an important basis for evaluating the gains and losses of government work, and establish a reward and punishment mechanism for national defense education in government departments.

Through the organic combination of responsibility, power and benefit, we can really mobilize the attention of governments at all levels to national defense education and promote the attention of colleges and universities to national defense education. Secondly, actively explore new ways and methods to do a good job in national defense education for all. On the basis of giving full play to the role of traditional education mode, we should intensify publicity through radio and television, newspapers, internet and other means, and regularly carry out activities to commemorate important national festivals to create a good social atmosphere for college students' national defense education.

Second, grasp the key link of education. Improve college students' national defense consciousness. Freshmen's military training, campus culture construction and recruitment of new recruits are the best starting points for national defense education in colleges and universities. First, combine campus cultural activities with national defense education and consciously insert national defense education into it. For example, to celebrate the May 4th Youth Day, we should use various cultural carriers to tell young students that the direct trigger of the May 4th Movement was the failure of China's diplomacy at the Paris Peace Conference.

The second is to combine military training with national defense education for college students. On the basis of completing military training courses, military experts and hero models can be invited to give lectures and reports at the school. Show movies, videos, documentaries, etc. Military scientific data. Try to teach national defense knowledge education in many ways.

The third is to combine the recruitment of new recruits in colleges and universities with national defense education. Focus on the propaganda work of initial recruitment, farewell to new recruits and follow-up training. It is necessary to do a good job in recruiting new recruits, create a strong atmosphere of national defense education, support college students to actively join the army, and do a good job in seeing off college students who have joined the army.
