First, we should pay attention to the study of basic theories and basic viewpoints. Mao Zedong said: "Socialism is like a banner." Scientific theory is like a banner, guiding thousands of troops to charge towards the right goal. The course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation" uses Marxist standpoint and method to answer and solve the "hot" and "difficult" problems that are common among young students, and forms a whole set of ideological and moral cultivation theories. To learn the course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation", we must first study its basic theories and viewpoints carefully, master its spiritual essence, truly realize the inevitability of China's taking the socialist road from the depths of our thoughts, truly realize that the life values advocated by our society with collectivism as the core are consistent with the ultimate value goal of the unity of truth, goodness and beauty in human society, and truly understand the value of this life value. This is the basis of learning the ideological and moral cultivation course well, which is of great significance for improving college students' theoretical quality and ability to understand, analyze and solve problems, and for establishing a scientific world outlook, outlook on life and values.
Second, we should pay attention to integrating theory with practice and learn from comparison and identification. Young college students should not only master their own basic theories and viewpoints, but also pay attention to using these viewpoints, analyze and understand practical problems, integrate theory with practice, and learn through comparison and identification. This is especially important for contemporary college students who are in the period of social transformation and face the dilemma of multiple value system selection. Integrating theory with practice includes two aspects, on the one hand, connecting with the social reality of reform and opening up, on the other hand, connecting with one's own ideological reality. Comparative study mainly means that young students should learn to use the theories taught in class to analyze and understand the complicated political, economic, cultural and moral phenomena in real social life, compare and evaluate various social thoughts and values, and choose and establish political direction and scientific world outlook, outlook on life and values in the analysis and comparison.
Third, we should pay attention to the unity of knowing and doing, and learn while doing. The combination of knowledge and practice and the emphasis on practice are determined by the characteristics of ideological and moral cultivation courses. The course of ideological and moral cultivation uses classroom teaching and other forms to discuss with college students how to do it, why to do it and how to do it. College students have mastered these truths through study and discussion, which is called "knowledge". However, acquiring knowledge is not the ultimate goal of ideological and moral cultivation. The purpose of acquiring knowledge is "doing" and "practicing". Ancient thinkers in China have long pointed out that "no talent is true knowledge". Therefore, the integration of knowledge and practice and the emphasis on practice have become the important features of this course. This requires college students to pay attention to the unity of knowing and doing when studying this course, insist on starting from themselves, start from now, practice while learning, further deepen their understanding and understanding of "knowledge" in practice, and truly achieve the unity of knowing and doing, so as to continuously improve their ideological and moral realm and achieve their own goals.
