Paper Keywords: colleges and universities; Ideological and political education; Difficulties; Countermeasures
With the establishment of China's market economy system and the arrival of the era of knowledge economy, ideological and political education in colleges and universities has become more and more complicated and difficult, and many educators lament that ideological work in schools is difficult to do. Although a lot of efforts have been made, the effect is not great, and the ideological and political education in schools is in trouble. This paper focuses on the analysis of the difficulties of ideological and political education in schools, and puts forward some countermeasures, hoping to be beneficial to improving ideological and political education in colleges and universities.
First, the difficulties of ideological and political education in colleges and universities
(1) The times are more demanding.
Reform and opening up have provided vitality and vitality for school moral education, and also put forward new challenges to school moral education. At present, the content of political education in colleges and universities can not keep up with the needs of the new situation, and has not yet formed a highly organic and unified theoretical system that reflects the characteristics of the times and has profound historical significance. For example, as the main channel and position of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, the "two courses", although revised several times, have made great breakthroughs in teaching content, but they can not fully meet the needs of social development in the new period and the internal needs of cultivating new talents and cross-century talents under the conditions of socialist market economy. Therefore, ideological and political education in colleges and universities should break through the traditional narrow concept and base on cultivating all kinds of qualities needed to adapt to the future society.
(B) the diversity of students' ideas
The development of market economy has greatly promoted the awareness of autonomy, participation, democracy and competition, and at the same time, personal interests have also been valued and protected. In particular, the market economy emphasizes material interests and pursues profit maximization, which easily breeds money worship, individualism and hedonism, and seriously affects the formation of college students' correct outlook on life, world outlook and values. In addition, corruption in society has not been effectively curbed, ugly phenomena have appeared, the infiltration of different cultures, and the collision of eastern and western values have all affected college students' thoughts and behaviors, leading to students' ideological confusion, difficulties in choosing, and diversified characteristics of the times. They are eager to revitalize China, look forward to a strong motherland, care about national construction and reform, and are willing to contribute to the construction of the motherland. However, their ideals are often utilitarian. When they feel that the development of the motherland fails to meet their personal wishes, they may often be impulsive and complain about specific problems. Some students' understanding of social owners in China is still at a shallow level, and even have one-sided misunderstandings; The mainstream of value orientation is healthy and upward, but the negative factors in value orientation are on the rise. Some college students advocate self in life values, take individuals as the main body, and emphasize the realization of self-worth. College students' moral cognition is good, but there are deviations between moral evaluation and practice. They adopt double standards in moral evaluation and are strict with themselves. The psychological quality has been enhanced, and the ability to withstand pressure and setbacks has been continuously improved, but there are still many confusions and maladjustments in students' life. The ideological load brought by the fierce competitive environment and the ideological confusion brought by complex social problems have increased the psychological pressure of college students. With the disappointment of desire and worry about the future, negative emotions appear, and even a few people have bad psychology such as world-weariness and antisocial, which affects the growth of students.
(C) the impact of modern media
We live in the information age, and mass media naturally become students' main partners. Especially with the rapid development of science and technology, computer network, as a media full of the flavor of the times, is welcomed by young students. It broadens students' knowledge horizons, broadens students' living space, and also severely challenges students' defense and adjustment ability in the ideological field. Schools and teachers are no longer the only sources of information, and the authority of teachers is broken. In addition, college students have a strong sense of self-awareness and participation, and their social communication ability is improved, which requires school teachers to establish a correct view of students, highlight students' dominant position in ideological and political education, fully combine students' ideological reality, and help them filter and process all kinds of information in time, discard the false and retain the true, and select the essence. Those empty preaching, mechanical training and mandatory management are hard to be accepted by students. Schools must constantly innovate educational methods and means.
Second, measures to improve ideological and political education in colleges and universities
Facing the challenge of the new situation, the only choice is continuous innovation. Colleges and universities must face up to the objective social reality and the ideological characteristics of modern students, follow the policy of "education should face modernization, the world and the future", constantly explore new ideas and solve new problems.
(1) Broaden the educational content that embodies the spirit of the times.
Under the new historical conditions, the ideological and political education of college students must take Marxism-Leninism and communism as the basic contents, and persistently carry out the education of the basic principles of Marxism and the communist world outlook, outlook on life and morality. However, school moral education must also shift the focus of ideological and political education in colleges and universities to comprehensively improve students' quality and highlight the cultivation of modern consciousness according to the development of social situation and the actual situation of working objects.
1. Cultivate students' innovative ability
The remarkable characteristics of market economy are autonomy, openness and competitiveness. In the face of equal opportunities, only talents with both ability and political integrity and excellent ability can win in the competition, otherwise they will be ruthlessly eliminated by the market. Facing the challenge of market economy, college students must have the spirit of pioneering and innovation. Don't blindly follow the crowd, don't be arrogant, don't be bookish, dare to break through the shackles of old ideas and dare to create new things, new theories and new technologies.
2. Cultivate a good spirit of cooperation
Today, with the progress of science and technology and meticulous professional differentiation, it is very difficult for anyone to be in the world, and any achievement can not be separated from the collective wisdom. Therefore, the content of moral education in colleges and universities should increase the education of college students' cooperative consciousness, so that individuals can integrate into the collective family, learn to get along with others and learn how to be a man.
3. Increase the content of mental health education.
Schools must face up to students' psychological characteristics and carry out life ideals and mental health education. Cultivate students' strong but not extreme moral feelings, confident self-awareness, perseverance, strong psychological endurance and self-control, strong dedication and sense of responsibility; And a cheerful, optimistic and enterprising healthy attitude.
(B) Ideological and political education methods towards innovation
The reason why ideological and political education in schools lacks its due attraction and obvious benefits is not only related to the content, but also closely related to whether the methods are scientific. In the past, ideological and political education in schools emphasized educators' teaching and indoctrination of codes of conduct and discipline, as well as the unconditional obedience and acceptance of moral principles and codes of conduct taught by educatees. Facing the new reality, the reform of ideological education methods should focus on innovation.
1. Make more efforts on the knowledge carrier.
College students expect to have extensive knowledge and are eager to improve their social cognitive ability and self-cultivation. Although they attach great importance to form, they like liveliness, which is the characteristic of young students. But what they really oppose is often not the form, but the content. Why do high-level students like to listen to reports? Why do high-quality students fall in love? It is because the content is new that it sounds profitable. When schools carry out ideological and political education for students and consider various ways and means, what really needs to be considered is the content of education. Whether the content is targeted, attractive and knowledgeable. Otherwise, no matter how novel and unique the activity form is, it will also become formalism. Ideological and political education in colleges and universities should integrate ideological content with knowledge, emphasize knowledge as the carrier, and expand from "entertaining education" to "entertaining education".
We should try our best to cultivate students' self-discipline.
The external influence on students must go through the students' own internal ideological and emotional activities, and then make their own judgments and choices. If the school ideological education is basically static, only letting students sit and listen to the teacher's moral preaching will not only make students lose interest in learning, but also lead to the suffocation of students' internal ideological and emotional activities. In this case, even if students are forced to obey the teacher's requirements, their behavior can't last, let alone turn moral requirements into personal morality. Therefore, we should organize the process of ideological and political education into a process of actively guiding students. Give full play to students' subjective initiative and cultivate students' self-education ability. Classroom teaching should adhere to the integration of theory with practice, and change from "cramming" to heuristic, discussion and research. In view of the active thinking and wide interests of college students, schools can organize students to participate in various extracurricular activities in combination with teaching, such as organizing reading reports, debating contests, competitions, community culture and art, etc. Students can also be organized to go out of school and get in touch with society. Use the summer vacation time to carry out social practice activities such as social investigation, investigation and research, scientific and technological services, and intellectual poverty alleviation. Through activities, I improved my understanding and exercised my ability. In order to give full play to the role of social practice in students' ideological education, we must also build a social practice base to standardize and institutionalize social practice.
3. Work harder on refinement.
With the transformation of moral education from model and politicalization to individualization and life, the methods of education and management should not be too big or too small, and we must adhere to a profound and meticulous work style. We can't take coercive measures against students' ideological problems. Teachers should understand students' mentality, emotions and thoughts, carefully guide them, and urge their thoughts to develop in the right direction. When carrying out ideological and moral education for students, we should contact with their daily study, life and work, and pay attention to and guide their study and life. Teachers should guide students to link learning with the future and destiny of the country and their own development, and cultivate students to establish a good style of study. We should teach students the knowledge of interpersonal communication, guide them to communicate with others, and learn how to be a man. Teachers should use psychological theory to deeply analyze the root of students' psychological obstacles in social communication and cultivate students' social skills. It is necessary to teach students a modern and civilized lifestyle and guide them to develop good living habits. In a word, ideological and political education is not lofty or empty, but to really solve the puzzles and difficulties in students' study and life.
(C) to carry out network moral education
Colleges and universities should actively explore a new world of ideological and political education in the field of information technology and do a good job in network moral education. Computer network has the characteristics of large information capacity and fast communication speed, which makes it possible to communicate across regions and time and space, and provides a broad stage for ideological and political education in colleges and universities. However, the content of computer network is full of mud and sand, full of mistakes and unhealthy content. They vigorously promote the world outlook and methodology of the western bourgeoisie, and some hostile elements even use the internet to infiltrate public opinion, which cannot be ignored. Schools must vigorously develop ideological and political education software and publicize scientific world outlook and methodology to students. Software should also communicate with students in view of some negative materials in the current software market and students' ideological reality, so that ideological and political education is no longer a boring activity. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen network management, standardize online behavior, and ensure the scientific, ideological and political nature of online materials. It is necessary to improve the quality of ideological workers, master computer operation skills and maintenance knowledge skillfully, and shoulder the responsibility of monitoring.
The era of innovation needs innovative talents, but society needs talents with both ability and political integrity, not talents with high ability and political integrity. "All kinds of schools at all levels should put ideological and political education in an important position, and at no time can it be relaxed or weakened. Ideological and political quality is the most important quality. Constantly enhancing the patriotism, collectivism and socialist spirit of students and the masses is the soul of quality education. " Colleges and universities should strengthen and improve ideological and political education according to the spirit of the central government and the characteristics of students, and cultivate qualified talents for the society.
