(A) Some colleges and universities do not pay enough attention to ideological and political education.
University leaders attach importance to hard indicators such as the scale of running a school and the number of teachers, and regard ideological and political education of college students as a soft task, without active and conscious attention and corresponding material input, which leads to serious formalization of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. The deep-seated reason for this situation lies in the exam-oriented education system in today's society and the definition of "talent". In order to take the exam, we only attach importance to intellectual education and despise moral education. In order to take the exam, we only pay attention to the teaching and acquisition of knowledge and despise the transformation of ability. Ideological and political educators must be in a passive position when they engage in educational work under this educational system. Nowadays, the so-called talents often emphasize individual scientific and cultural qualities, while ideological and moral qualities are in a secondary position. This definition and understanding of talents will undoubtedly lead colleges and universities to attach importance to the teaching of scientific and cultural knowledge and ignore the cultivation of college students' ideological and moral quality.
(B) a single way of imparting knowledge, the lack of practical ideological and political education activities
Our ideological and political education, whether in content or method, lacks training and practical activities to varying degrees, and the phenomenon of simple knowledge transmission is more serious. In fact, ideological and political education is a very practical subject, and its main purpose is to cultivate the behavior habit of integrating knowledge with practice and the attitude and ability of practice. It is impossible to achieve the ideal effect simply by indoctrination and spoon-feeding teaching methods. As the main body of ideological and political education practice, the educated should participate in various activities inside and outside the school. But in fact, students' practical activities are always a mere formality, which will inevitably lead to the failure of social norms to internalize the ideological and political morality of the educated, let alone externalize the ideological and political morality of the educated into moral behavior.
(3) The ways and means of ideological and political education in colleges and universities are backward and cannot adapt to the development of the times.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of high-tech, especially information technology, the Internet has become a new carrier for spreading ideology and culture, a new stage for public opinion struggle and a new important position for ideological and political work. The Internet is open. There is a lot of positive, healthy and beneficial information on the Internet, as well as a lot of reactionary and superstitious content.
