On college students' faith education] Faith education is about life education, the pursuit of the highest meaning and value of life, and a spiritual transcendence of personal status. The goal of college students' belief education is to strengthen Marxist belief and establish the lofty ideal of communism. As the future builders and successors of the country, what kind of beliefs college students need to support their world outlook and outlook on life is directly related to the future development of the motherland and the future of socialism, so it is very important and necessary to educate college students on their beliefs. First, the content of college students' belief education Because college students' psychology and thoughts are not yet mature, what kind of thoughts can make them develop in what direction. According to its content, belief can be divided into the following levels: the first level is the dominant position of thought and the highest Marxist belief. The second level is the Socialism with Chinese characteristics ideal under the guidance of the highest thought of Marxism. The third level is the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform as innovation. 1. The core content of contemporary college students' belief education is Marxist belief. First of all, Marxist belief is the unity of truth and value and the profound connotation of Marxist theoretical system. Second, the communist ideal is a great ideal linked with the people and an ideal society. Third, after the founding of Marxism, all countries have established Marxist belief activities, which is proved by Marxist practice. In a word, in our country, the belief education of Marxism is the best choice for college students, which is also the requirement of our leading ideology and socialist system. 2. The core content of contemporary college students' belief education is Socialism with Chinese characteristics's common ideal. Marxist belief has distinct characteristics of the times. People of different times are pursuing their imagined future and realizable ideals. Only such an ideal can arouse people's enthusiasm and realize lofty ideals. The followers of Marxism in China combine lofty ideals with realistic ideals to inspire people to struggle for their ideals. No matter which class or interest group, we should accept this idea and work together for it. Therefore, strengthening the ideal education of college students with China characteristics is a historical choice and a national need. 3. The spiritual content of contemporary college students' belief education is the national spirit and the spirit of the times. National spirit is the spiritual motive force for the prosperity of a country and a nation. The national spirit develops with the development of the times. The spirit of the times is the embodiment of national spirit. The spirit of innovation is the core of the spirit of the times and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity. Therefore, colleges and universities should take cultivating the spirit of the times as the core content. Because the national spirit and the spirit of the times reflect the dominant beliefs and common ideals of the country, they are concrete beliefs, so they should be the proper contents of college students' faith education. Second, the methods of college students' faith education. The method of college students' belief education is a common concern of the current society and schools, and it is the core content of the teaching method of college students' ideological and political theory course. Therefore, it is worth studying to grasp the essence and characteristics of faith from understanding and theory and pay attention to the methodology of college students' faith education. 1, the method of combining personality and sociality. In college students' faith education, college students generally believe that faith is a personal matter and there is no need for public education. This requires distinguishing between personal life beliefs and social ideals and beliefs. Secondly, establish the method of combining individuality and sociality in faith education. Personal life belief is an individual's grasp of the meaning and value of his own existence, the future and destiny of life, the state and destination of life, and its core is the ultimate concern for his own survival value and significance. If one's life ideal focuses on grasping one's own future and destiny, then social ideals and beliefs are the grasping and holding of a specific historical development stage and ultimate development ideal by a specific nation, political party or social person. Personal life belief has a unique relationship with social ideal belief. Social ideals and beliefs are based on personal life ideals and beliefs and are transformed from personal life beliefs. Just as society is formed by the interaction of individuals, any social ideal is constructed and put forward by specific individuals or groups, and it is transformed into the belief of the whole society under specific conditions. Although social ideals and beliefs are transformed from personal life ideals and beliefs, once they are transformed, they become their common pursuit, melting individual freedom of choice into social mutual constraints. The fact that social ideals and beliefs are transformed from personal life beliefs shows that scientific belief education is feasible and reasonable. The current belief crisis is to properly combine college students' personal life beliefs with social ideal beliefs and seek the unity of them. 2. The method of combining rationality and irrationality. In college students' belief education, college students generally believe that belief is a personal emotional problem and does not need knowledge education, which requires us to understand the relationship between belief and rationality and irrationality in theory and adopt the method of combining emotion with reason. Faith can be based on reason or not. Scientific beliefs are often based on rationality, while blind beliefs often lack rational basis. Any kind of faith is the unity of credible and untrustworthy. Credibility is the object of belief, which can be deeply understood and felt in theory. This requires rational thinking and judgment on the object of belief. Credibility is a rational factor in belief. The so-called conviction is emotional reinforcement, which is an irrational factor in belief. Although there is a certain inevitable connection between credibility and belief, the foundation of belief formation is belief. The basis of belief must be based on sufficient subjectivity, that is, only rational belief based on the credibility of practice can be regarded as correct belief. The combination of rationality and irrationality must be based on convincing people by reasoning, and convincing the educated by the scientific rational logic of truth, rather than persuading others by preaching. Then use emotional people to influence college students. Only in this way can we combine persuasion with emotion, rationality with irrationality, and educate college students to develop in the right direction of faith. 3. The method of combining politics with propaganda. In college students' faith education, college students generally think that faith is a political matter, only a matter of party member, and there is no need for public education. This requires us to clarify the relationship between politics and publicity in theory and use the way of combining politics and publicity. Faith refers to what we generally call social ideals and beliefs, which are generally manifested as social ideology and become political beliefs of society or country. So when we talk about political beliefs, we must first understand the relationship between beliefs and ideology. Faith, especially political belief, is essentially an ideology. The great social function of faith is an ideological function, and the crisis of faith is manifested as an ideological crisis to some extent, and the formation of faith is also manifested as an ideological reform. Ideology provides the foundation for the existing political system, provides people with future political ideals and ultimate beliefs, and makes political reality acceptable. Faith is the collective unconsciousness of ideology. As an ideological force, ideology does not directly affect the economy and politics of society, but is internalized as a belief by the subject to play a role, which is manifested as the function of cohesion, guidance and appeal to society through ideology. Therefore, when we carry out faith education, we should infiltrate faith education into ideology, make use of the powerful function of ideology, and use popular education to carry out faith education imperceptibly. Third, the ways and countermeasures to rebuild college students' faith education According to the new forms, new situations and new problems faced by college students' faith education, especially the social reality, it has had a fierce impact on college students' faith. Therefore, for the healthy growth of college students and social harmony and stability, after having a correct understanding of college students' beliefs, we should constantly explore new methods and new ways to adapt to college students' characteristics under the new historical conditions. 1, intensify the reform of ideological and political theory courses, and play the role of the main channel and position of ideological and political theory courses. The main position of Marxist belief education is the ideological and political theory course in colleges and universities. In class, students generally realize that ideological and political theory courses are boring and empty. This not only affects the learning enthusiasm of college students, but also produces rebellious psychology. Anyone's faith begins with knowledge. Only when college students really understand Marxism can they accept it psychologically and form their own beliefs. In order to improve our belief in Marxism, we should intensify the reform of ideological and political theory courses. In terms of educational means and methods, the use of multimedia education means makes college students have a strong interest in ideological and political theory courses and turn them into an action; In the choice of educational content, we should find some hot spots that conform to the current national conditions, preferably those that have just happened recently, to attract the attention of college students; In improving teachers' teaching level, we should strengthen teachers' theoretical cultivation and analyze and explain with extensive knowledge; In terms of examination methods, try classroom training and mid-term exams for college students to avoid rote learning. 2. Strengthen the joint efforts of families, schools and society, integrate resources and establish an all-round education mechanism. To do a good job in ideological and political education for college students, colleges and universities must base themselves on the whole society, pay close attention to social trends and actively implement countermeasures. Because college students stay away from their families after entering colleges and universities. When college students have a mental state, university teachers will pay attention to it, and communication between families and students is needed to prevent this phenomenon. Families and schools should cooperate closely and take active and effective measures to do a good job in ideological and political work for college students; Families should cultivate teenagers' moral education from an early age and establish scientific and reasonable beliefs; At the critical stage of the formation of college students' beliefs, the school has increased resources to cultivate college students' moral belief education. Only by organically combining society, family and school can we establish the correct, advanced and socialist beliefs of college students. 3. Strengthen the construction of teaching staff in colleges and universities to ensure the exemplary role of the education team. Ideological and political cadres and teachers in colleges and universities are the disseminators of Marxism, the guides of college students' beliefs and their growth. In the eyes of young people, teachers have the deepest influence on them. Teachers' ideological and moral cultivation is directly related to college students' outlook on life and values. To cultivate college students' beliefs and values, we must create a good social environment, improve the ideological and moral cultivation and cultural quality of ideological and political cadres and teachers, increase the strength of teachers, establish lofty Marxist beliefs, constantly improve themselves, enhance the effectiveness of political beliefs, and truly infect students with their own thoughts and knowledge, thus becoming an example for students to pursue. 4. Closely connect with the reality of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and strengthen the practical concept of college students. People's beliefs are not innate, and the premise of their establishment is that believers freely choose and identify with their own beliefs, rather than being forced by others. Everyone has the right to choose their own beliefs. Therefore, the establishment of Marxist belief should be people-oriented. According to the individual differences of college students, we should adopt different teaching contents, teaching methods and teaching means, and try to impose some ideas on college students as little as possible. Tell college students to choose the ways and means of faith education as much as possible, so that they can consciously choose to believe in Marxism. At present, college students' political beliefs are not very high. Therefore, we should actively attract college students to participate in political activities, broaden the channels of college students' political participation, carry out political practice, accumulate social practice, and promote the cultivation of correct political awareness and practical awareness. ■
