Then, how to carry out ideal and belief education in general teaching? Here, the author briefly talks about some of his own practices.
Explain the theory first and lay a good foundation.
Human activities are always carried out under the guidance of consciousness, and the correct theory can guide people's practical activities to success. Therefore, in teaching, the author attaches great importance to the elaboration of theoretical knowledge of ideals and beliefs in order to build a strategic situation. For example, when teaching the seventh lesson of philosophy in senior high school, "Choose a lofty goal in life", the author mainly adopts various teaching methods, such as giving examples, analyzing, comparing, discussing, debating, writing small papers, etc., so that students can understand theoretically what an ideal is, what its significance is to life and society, the difference between an ideal and a fantasy, how to realize an ideal, and how to achieve it, so as to make them systematically and comprehensively understand the ideal. .
Second, combine with reality and carry out education.
In essence, any valuable theory is reality-oriented, and the ideal itself comes from reality, is higher than reality, and has the characteristics of the times. Therefore, in students' ideal education, we should not only pay attention to theoretical knowledge, but also combine social reality. For example, in the teaching of economics, the author combines the problems of weak agricultural foundation, backward rural development, low farmers' income, and large gap between urban and rural residents' consumption level, and fully contacts the reality that students live in western rural areas, many families are quite poor, and many students' parents go out to work, so as to provide ideal education for students. Through the comparison between urban and rural social conditions, the environment and experience of migrant workers working in cities, and the embarrassing situation caused by lack of skills and education, students can understand that knowledge changes their destiny, the future of their families is in their own hands, and the future of rural areas is in their own hands. As children of farmers, they should do their part for the construction of new socialist countryside and the change of rural appearance.
Third, lead by example and edify infection.
The power of example is infinite, it can bring us great influence, especially in human spirit, and its role is immeasurable. With an example, there is a kind of pursuit and a kind of motivation. Learn from the example and catch up with the goal, and you will be inspired, nourished, enriched, lofty and great by the example. In view of the serious money worship of many students, many students idolize blindly, and even a few students worship gangsters and appreciate violence, the author often lists and analyzes the deeds of some famous people at home and abroad, such as Zhuge Liang's "Ambition", Zhou Enlai's "Studying for the Rise of China" and Marx's "When choosing a career, the main criterion we should follow is human happiness and our own perfection". Zhong Nanshan, an anti-SARS fighter, said that "people should not simply live in reality, but also live in ideals", and Zhao Huaqiong, president of the first migrant workers' hospital in China, said that "all migrant workers can afford illness" and so on. Let students understand the great role these characters play in social development. They can play such a role because they have ideals and ambitions. At the same time, it also tells and analyzes some examples of outstanding people around students, such as hard-working students, helpful students, teachers dedicated to education, selfless parents and so on. Help students set an example of progress and set goals.
Fourth, take positive actions to achieve transformation.
Setting goals in life is just a pipe dream, just lip service. Only by being down-to-earth and working hard can we turn our ideals into reality. At present, students generally lack the spirit of hardship, firm belief and perseverance. Marx put it well: "A practical action is more important than a dozen programs." Therefore, in teaching, the author often carries out action education for students, mainly selecting some vivid examples of outstanding people who have persisted for decades and realized their ideals, and encouraging students to take active actions. For example, in order to solve the people's sufferings, Li Shizhen worked tirelessly to taste all kinds of herbs and collected 27 years of experience to write the Compendium of Materia Medica; Marx struggled for 40 years to reveal the essence of capitalist society and the law of human social development, and completed Das Kapital. Madame Curie has been engaged in ordinary monotonous heavy labor for a long time, and she can't extract one gram of radium from countless tons of asphalt ... and she teaches students that if they don't have perseverance and lack perseverance, they will waver, retreat and give up when they encounter difficulties and setbacks, then they will accomplish nothing.
In a word, we should realize the urgency, necessity and importance of ideal education in senior high school politics teaching, and adopt various practical methods and measures such as reasoning, connecting with reality and giving examples to educate students on their ideals and beliefs, promote their healthy physical and mental development, and cultivate successors with lofty ideals for building a harmonious society.
