1. Strive to promote the transformation from the traditional political culture of China to the political culture of citizen participation. In the American civic education system, participatory political culture and civic education are dialectical unity of interdependence and mutual promotion. Therefore, the construction of participatory political culture is an important foundation of civic education.
China's traditional political culture is a typical culture of monarch and minister, that is, members of society lack basic rights consciousness and independent political thinking, which hinders the development of China's political modernization.
To construct and cultivate participatory political culture suitable for modern China society, we should learn from American participatory political culture, encourage and strengthen social practice classes, political discussion classes and mock elections in primary and secondary schools, enhance citizens' political participation ability, cultivate citizens' political participation personality, and realize the transformation from traditional political culture to civil political culture.
2. Adopt the teaching method of combining implicit education with explicit education. In China, explicit education is more applied to ideological and political education. For example, in China, compulsory indoctrination is the main way of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, which focuses on imparting knowledge, but its disadvantage is that it is easy to set educators and educatees against each other.
Implicit education permeates the general public through all levels and angles, which can make the educated object unconsciously accept the education of world outlook, values and outlook on life advocated by the ruling class in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Therefore, China's ideological and political education should adopt the method of combining explicit education with implicit education, so as to integrate the advantages of the two educational methods, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and give full play to the role of ideological and political education.
3. Vigorously carry forward and cultivate the Chinese national spirit with patriotism as the core. With the rapid development of economy, the world is facing the trend of economic globalization, political pluralism and cultural pluralism.
Under this background, the western developed countries use their own advantages in economy and science and technology to directly or indirectly carry out cultural hegemony on China, which has a strong impact on the ideological concepts, moral concepts and values of Chinese citizens, especially college students.
In this environment, the national spirit plays a particularly important role in resisting the influence of decadent western ideas. Therefore, in today's complicated era background and severe political situation, carrying forward and cultivating the national spirit will help us understand the current international situation and strengthen the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
