How to develop national defense education and military theory
1. Strengthening the teaching concept of military theory courses and deepening the modernization and reform and opening up of national defense education have made many people's national defense concepts and sense of hardship very weak, and many bad social atmosphere has gradually eroded college students' thoughts, which has had a profound impact on their world outlook, outlook on life and values. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out in-depth national defense theory education with patriotism as the core in colleges and universities, stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of college students, fundamentally improve the effect of national defense education in colleges and universities, and enhance their national defense concept. 2. Establish and improve the teaching management and evaluation mechanism of military theory courses. The management organization of military theory courses should be strict, the teaching and research section of military theory should be established according to the regulations, and enough full-time teachers with military theory courses should be introduced according to the number of students and class hours. At the same time, establish a perfect supervision mechanism, set up a capable supervision team composed of experts and professors, and inspect, evaluate and test the teaching effect and quality of military theory courses in a timely and in-depth manner. Finally, the credit system of military theory course is formulated and implemented, and students are strictly assessed. 3. Cultivate and introduce specialized military theory talents to optimize the teaching staff, incorporate the construction of the teaching staff of military theory courses into the overall planning of the construction of the teaching staff of this unit, implement the compilation, adopt on-the-job training and send them for further study, and continuously improve the academic level and teaching ability of national defense education teachers. Relying on a number of local colleges with good conditions, good foundation and high enthusiasm, we will establish a long-term national defense education teacher training base independently or jointly with military colleges and universities to train military theory teachers. Introduce relevant theoretical teaching talents from the army through appropriate mechanisms, so that students can have a more practical learning experience. 4. Optimize the educational structure and improve the educational methods. In terms of teaching methods, we should fully respect students' dominant position in the practice of national defense education, fully mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative, and give play to their intelligence and creativity. In the innovation of educational forms, we should take the principle of liking and hearing, focus on the characteristics and needs of contemporary college students, pay attention to being close to their lives and reality, and actively explore teaching forms such as "teaching and learning", "discussion and exchange" heuristic teaching, "experiential and practical teaching", "integration in and out of class" and joint teaching in colleges and universities. In the innovation of teaching methods, we should adhere to the principle of combining "indoctrination" with "infiltration" and combining theoretical teaching with intuitive demonstration, and flexibly choose and apply teaching methods such as "discussion and exchange", "special lecture" and "on-the-spot observation" according to the nature of teaching activities and the requirements of teaching organization. In the application of teaching methods, we should pay attention to the application of modern educational technology, strengthen information education, widely use modern teaching means such as audio-visual teaching and multimedia teaching, and actively use auxiliary means such as projection, video, wall chart and model to enhance the intuition, image and realism of teaching content, stimulate students' interest and participation in learning, and improve teaching effect.
