On the topic selection of academic papers on ideological and political education, the full text is as follows:
Academic papers on ideological and political education are an important carrier to express scholars' thoughts and opinions on a certain issue in the field of ideological and political education, and their level is an important standard to measure scholars' academic level and scientific research ability. The topic selection of academic papers points out the direction and requirements for the writing of academic papers and is an important index to measure the quality of academic papers. A good beginning is half the battle, and a successful topic selection is the guarantee for the successful completion of an academic paper. Therefore, we should have a correct understanding and accurate grasp of the significance, principles, thinking methods and conditions of the topic selection of academic papers for ideological and political education majors.
Keywords: ideological and political education major; Academic papers; Select a title.
Foreword:
At present, the academic papers on ideological and political education are uneven and repetitive, and there are many discussions on the same hot topic of current affairs, some of which are slightly revised, but the content is similar. Professor Li of Southeast University pointed out that there are three main situations in academic paper writing at present, namely "taking myself as the viewpoint", "taking things as the viewpoint" and "taking Tao as the viewpoint". This phenomenon also exists in ideological and political education. In view of these problems, the author thinks that the following aspects of academic paper selection should be grasped completely and accurately.
Topic meaning
1. The topic should reflect the Marxist world outlook and methodology.
Professor Li pointed out that "the concept of Tao requires scholars to grasp the objective world and existing knowledge from a philosophical height, and to have a deeper observation and a more detailed experience of people and things than others." [1] Marxist thought is the guiding ideology of ideological and political education, and Marxist world outlook and methodology are the scientific epistemology and methodology of this discipline. Therefore, the topic selection should reflect that scholars and students grasp the theoretical part and practical part of ideological and political education from the height of Marxist philosophy, so as to achieve the organic unity of theory and practice.
2. The topic selection should reflect the research value of the discipline itself.
As a discipline, ideological and political education has developed for 28 years in China's higher education discipline series since 1984 was founded, and has formed its own independent discipline status. The author thinks that the topic selection should highlight a series of basic theoretical issues such as the object and environment, position and function, task and content, ways and methods, organization and evaluation of ideological and political education, which are the research values of the discipline itself.
3. The topic should reflect the level of research ability.
The topic selection reflects the scholars and students' painstaking research and in-depth thinking on a certain issue, so a topic selection can reflect the theoretical basis and research level of scholars and students in the field of ideological and political education. Scholars and students should first learn the basic theory of ideological and political education, discuss the implementation process of ideological education in the most general sense, and compare and analyze the general laws and special laws of ideological education abroad; Then, in view of the requirements of building a Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the changes and conflicts of pluralistic ideas under the conditions of socialist market economy, according to the general laws of ideological and political education, the proper position of ideological and political education in socialist modernization is established and its due role is fully exerted.
Second, the principle of topic selection
1. Value principle.
The value principle requires that the topic must be useful. The value of ideological and political education is mainly manifested in theoretical value and application value. As an academic paper, it is difficult to find and solve problems without the support of discipline theory; If it has no application value and can't guide the problems in practice, then it will lose its significance as an academic research.
2. The principle of innovation.
The principle of innovation requires that the topic should be innovative, distinctive and breakthrough. This kind of innovation can fill the blank of the subject; Be able to correct mistakes in general oral English; Great development and breakthrough have been made to the previous viewpoints; Can reflect the times, nationality and regionality; Be able to find problems from cross-disciplinary points; Old problems can find new ideas. As far as ideological and political education is concerned, the core and basic question like "what is' ideological and political education'" is still debated in the profession, and there is still room for such an old question. Some overlapping parts of ideological and political education with ethics and law can provide some new ideas.
3. The principle of necessity.
The principle of necessity is written from the realistic needs of China's socialist modernization, and we can't groan without illness. The research nature of academic papers lies in the fact that their objects are problems caused by the changes of time and space conditions and realistic conditions, and the discussion based on these problems conforms to the law of discipline development. At present, China is in the period of social transformation, and the conflict between monism and pluralism has brought new challenges and new topics to the ideological and political discipline. Therefore, the topic selection should be based on new needs.
Third, the thinking method of topic selection
1. Be skeptical.
Einstein once said that finding problems is often more important than solving them. Academic research should also be skeptical. Only by being skeptical about the problems in the discipline can we break the routine, find problems in the "general theory" and innovate constantly.
2. The thinking angle is diverse.
Don't stick to one place when thinking. Understanding multidisciplinary knowledge helps to open our minds and find more solutions. The diversification of thinking perspective is not a departure from the basic analytical methods of ideological and political education, but a supplement and improvement to the basic analytical methods of ideological and political education. Basic analysis method solves the most basic concepts, categories, laws and theories of ideological politics; The diversification of thinking angles provides new ideas for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary problems.
3 Observe and study traditional propositions with new theories and methods.
Every subject develops with the change of time and space. In the past 30 years' development, ideological and political specialty has initially formed its own discipline system. In the new era, some new theories and methods under the new situation provide new ideas for solving traditional propositions. When choosing a topic, we should pay attention to using these new theories and methods to observe and examine traditional propositions in order to develop and break through the traditional thinking of predecessors.
Fourth, the conditions of topic selection
1. Pay attention to the usual accumulation.
An academic paper and a topic will not appear out of thin air, and they are all based on a lot of theoretical study and practical accumulation. The process of subject research and academic paper writing is a process of cognitive development. In order to obtain more scientific academic achievements, it is necessary to possess as much external information and materials related to disciplines as possible. Academic paper writing is not done after collecting materials, but thinking about problems while collecting materials. Discover new problems and clues, and expand the scope of collecting materials. Information is the material basis for writing academic papers. Without a certain amount of information, it is difficult to write academic papers. Possession of information is a very boring and tedious thing, because we should bring all the materials related to the topic or even the discipline as much as possible, collect all the materials that are consistent with our own views and do not agree with them, and reprocess them, so as to approach the discipline law we are looking for in the comparison of positive and negative materials.
2. Pay attention to the current situation and trend of discipline development.
The development of the discipline shows the existing basic theoretical research and the handling of controversial issues in the discipline, so that we can clearly understand our position and avoid being obtained by others or repeating others' words. The discipline dynamic shows the frontier field of this discipline, which helps us to grasp the development direction of the discipline and make the direction of topic selection and academic papers more clear.
