First, the motivation of young college students to join the party is becoming more and more diversified, and the utilitarian color is becoming more and more obvious. When asked about the motivation to join the Party, 16.44% of the students choose "loyalty", 17.95438+0% of the students choose "to contribute more to others and society", which shows that more than13 of the students are active and healthy. In addition, 38.3 1% people think that "joining the party can play a better role in society", and 65.438+02.9 1% people think that "joining the party is the spiritual sustenance of enriching life", which shows that most college students have strong ideological consciousness, but so many college students pursue personal values and stress "pragmatism", so In addition, 7.46% people think that "there are many people around who ask to join the party, and they don't ask to be bad for themselves", and 6.97% people think that "joining the party can benefit". The phenomenon of "following the fashion", "following the crowd" and speculation of young college students on the issue of joining the Party is clearly visible, which cannot but arouse people's attention. Based on the results of this survey and literature retrieval, in recent years, college students' motivation to join the party has become increasingly diversified, and the proportion of joining the party for ideals and beliefs has declined. And the proportion of creating a good environment for their own learning and success is growing, and the utilitarian color is becoming more and more obvious. The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: 1. The individualism theory of college students and the lack of comprehensive and correct cognitive theory of party organizations are the most basic theoretical weapons of our party and the soul of guiding the various undertakings of the party. Only when we have a comprehensive and objective understanding of Marxist theory can we have a comprehensive and correct understanding of the party. This survey shows that when asked about "your understanding of ism", 7.49% students think that "ism is just one of many theories and should not be taken as the guiding ideology", and 2. 14% people think that "it is not a scientific theory at all", from which we can see that the consciousness of ism is weakened, and the negative thoughts that distort or even deviate from it still exist, leading to the ideals and beliefs of a few people. The understanding of Marxist theory directly affects the individual's understanding of the party organization. How much do college students know about party organizations at present? The survey results of "Understanding of the Party's Nature, Purpose and Articles of Association" show that only 2.24% of the surveyed college students are "very familiar" and 32.58% are "quite familiar", while most students lack in-depth understanding of Party organizations (47.6438+09% are superficial and 65.438+07.98% are not very familiar). It is precisely because of the lack of ideological understanding, coupled with college students' young age, shallow social experience and lack of discriminating ability that some theoretical doubts and some deep-seated problems have appeared in the face of the development of market economy, which is an important reason for the incorrect motivation to join the party. At the same time, their world outlook, outlook on life and values have not yet been fully finalized, their self-development is immature, and they are also easily influenced by bad ideas and eager for quick success. 2. Complicated social factors affect college students' motivation to join the Party, which is also a reflection of social reality in their thoughts. Pragmatism formed in the market economy has influenced the value orientation of contemporary college students. For example, in recent years, under the situation of increasingly fierce employment competition, employers (including foreign companies and private enterprises) also favor student party member and student cadres when enrolling college graduates. While encouraging more outstanding college students to join the Party, this phenomenon inevitably leads some college students to join the Party as a means to enhance their competitive advantage in choosing jobs. In their eyes, getting a "party ticket" is equivalent to getting a computer or foreign language certificate. For another example, some social unhealthy tendencies and party member phenomenon, such as "being an official when you join the Party, you have the right and the right to be rich", have also brought great negative effects to college students, making some students have speculative psychology, thinking that joining the Party can lay a foundation for their future development and regard joining the Party as a bargaining chip for future promotion and reuse. 3. College students' Party building work is relatively weak. Due to the arduous work and many other reasons, there is a tendency of "emphasizing performance and neglecting motivation" in the process of cultivating and inspecting college students to join the party. For students who submit applications for joining the Party, we often examine their performance in study, work and daily life, and take ideological report and theoretical study as the ways to examine their thoughts, but rarely examine their actual thoughts and motives for joining the Party in depth and detail. In addition, some colleges and universities are misleading in training and educating activists to join the Party and developing party member. Some party branches often regard approving students to join the party as an incentive and reward for their diligent study, good performance and hard work, which leads some students to connect the party membership with the specific benefits that can be obtained more and more closely, and the motivation for joining the party becomes more and more practical and utilitarian. At the same time, it also leads some students to mistakenly link whether to write an application for joining the party with whether there is progress. In order to establish an image of self-improvement, they submitted their application for joining the party "following the crowd". Second, the reasons why young students don't ask to join the party are complicated and varied, showing the unique psychological fluctuations of young people. 9 1% people don't want to join the party because of "inner-party phenomenon", and 27. 19% people choose "the classmates and teachers around them don't have the proper image of party member". The reason is that in contemporary China, the rapid change of economic system has brought about a series of changes in social structure, lifestyle, ideas and so on, which has greatly impacted the original conservative and closed ideas and caused the imbalance of traditional moral value system, and people's ideals and beliefs have gradually shaken. The brutal competition in the market economy, the fanatical pursuit of money and the breeding and spread of some ugly social phenomena have caused great psychological shock to people. People pay more attention to efficiency and reality. They believe that the ideological fashions advocated by our party, such as "selflessness" and "serving the people wholeheartedly", are outdated and do not apply to the current economic society, while the law of "money is in power and profit is in line with personal yearning for material civilization. Secondly, the bad behaviors of party member cadres in party member, such as moths to the fire, have seriously damaged the reputation and image of the Party, and directly had a great negative impact on young students in the process of becoming talents. They are indignant at this, but they are helpless. The sharp contrast between reality and theory has caused students to have ideological fluctuations and struggles, thus questioning and confusing the party's purpose and principles. Confused and confused about the purpose and significance of joining the Party, 14.9 1% students think that "the goal of socialism is far behind and impossible to achieve", which is also the main reason why a few students (4.89%) said "don't want to" when asked about their willingness to join the Party. In addition, as mentioned earlier, some students are completely different before and after joining the party because of their incorrect motives. "Work hard before joining the party and relax their requirements after joining the party", which is even worse than that of ordinary students, invisibly causing adverse effects on the surrounding students and becoming the reason why some students do not join the party. Third, the main factors affecting the individual's motivation to join the party, a person's willingness to join the party, in addition to his strong inner desire, is also affected by many external factors. A good book, the deeds of an excellent party member and the family environment will sometimes inspire or change a person's willingness to join the Party and become the main external factors that affect his willingness to join the Party. When asked about "the most important influencing factor of your willingness to join the party organization", 59.62% of the students chose "their own strong desire"; Among the external factors that affect students' motivation to join the Party, the most important ones are "the influence of parents" and "the exemplary influence of classmate party member", accounting for 14.42% and 12.98% of the respondents respectively. In addition, 1 1.06% chose "positive reports from books and newspapers" and 1.92% chose "teachers' influence". From the overall situation of the survey, after years of party spirit education and training, most contemporary college students have correct motives for joining the party, but due to various subjective and objective factors, a few students have impure motives for joining the party. The understanding of Marxist theory and party organizations is not comprehensive and profound enough. In view of these phenomena, colleges and universities with great responsibility and great potential should take Marxism-Leninism, ideological theory and Theory of Three Represents as the guidance, fully implement the spirit of "Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving Ideological Education for College Students", and do a good job in the education of college students' motivation to join the Party from various aspects. 1. In theory, it is necessary to enhance college students' understanding of Marxist theory and party organizations through various channels and help them establish the belief that Marxism will win: First, give full play to the main channel role of "two courses" (theoretical courses and party courses) education; Second, give play to the educational functions of "two schools" (student league schools and amateur party schools), "two branches" (student league branches and party branches) and student associations; Third, give play to the vanguard and exemplary role of party member and party activists; Fourth, through various channels, let positive thoughts occupy the network position and let the network become a good helper for ideological educators. 2. Strengthen the practical education of college students. The advanced nature of the Party needs to be proved by practice. Due to the lack of necessary social practice, the status of contemporary college students joining the Party is unstable. Colleges and universities should take various effective measures to organize party member and activists to go deep into society, participate in practice and understand society. For example, visit patriotic education bases and carry out revolutionary traditional education; Carry out activities such as "going to the countryside in summer" and "young volunteers entering the community" to let young college students experience the purpose of serving wholeheartedly in real life. 3. Strictly follow the party member standard and strictly close the entrance. In the process of developing student party member, we should strictly follow the principle of "adhering to standards, ensuring quality, improving structure and developing cautiously" to ensure the quality of teachers. Whether the motivation for joining the Party is correct or not should be an important criterion to measure whether the applicant has the conditions of party member. Only in this way can students with correct motives strengthen their beliefs, while students with impure motives can gradually correct their People's Party motives. 4. Implement the requirements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, conscientiously implement the "Detailed Rules for the Development of party member in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (Trial)", and strictly follow the procedures for joining the Party: First, fully implement the system of "one push and three publicity" (once pushed, the party activists will be confirmed, and both party member's acceptance preparation and party member's confirmation need publicity); Second, strive to develop party member's "voting system"; The third is to adhere to the requirements of "two trials and seven prohibitions" (the second trial is to review the procedures for joining the party and the conditions of party member; 7. Not approving refers to not approving activists who have been trained for less than one year, not approving those who have not been trained by the school party school, not approving those who have failed the examination, not approving those who have not gone through the procedures for joining the party, not approving those who have not been sent to talk by the party organization at a higher level, not approving those who have not been publicly inspected, and not approving those who have not been publicized as required); Fourthly, strengthen the supervision and inspection of party member's development and try to develop the accountability system in party member. 5. Strengthen the continuing education of student party member, so that students can truly become party member ideologically. Deepening young college students' understanding of the party, correcting their motivation to join the party and educating them to join the party can not be completed overnight, but a process of gradual improvement. Party member, a college student, is young, short-lived, inexperienced, and needs to strengthen party spirit cultivation and exercise. It is not enough to join the party only in organization. Through continuous study and improvement, through organizing more direct and in-depth re-education and re-inspection, I strive to join the Party ideologically and become a veritable party member who really plays a vanguard and exemplary role among students. 6. Combining the characteristics of college students, combining the education of joining the Party with the education of professional ethics. It is a glorious and sacred thing to carry out professional practice activities such as professional experience and educational practice, so that students can have a sense of professional identity and mission, and realize that it is a glorious and sacred thing to be loyal to the party's educational cause and devote themselves to front-line posts. At the same time, we should explore the typical examples of teachers around party member and publicize them, so that students can establish the correct motivation to join the Party in the gradual and in-depth understanding of their majors and occupations. Keywords: college students; Motivation to join the party; change

Motivation to join the party is the basic starting point and purpose of a person's request to join the party. [1] In the work of Party building in colleges and universities, the education of college students' motivation to join the Party is the most basic starting point. Whether the motivation to join the Party is pure or not will affect the future development and progress direction of the students, the people around them' views on party member, the fighting capacity and influence of the party member team, and the success or failure of the team development.

In many subjects of college students' education in party member, we can see that some theoretical workers in colleges and universities have made special research and discussion on college students' motivation to join the Party. Most researchers follow the four-step research path: first, explore the significance of college students' motivation education for joining the party; Then it summarizes the types of college students' motivation to join the party. Secondly, the deep social reasons behind various motives for joining the party; Finally, the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward. These studies provide beneficial enlightenment for strengthening the education of college students' motivation to join the party. As a party worker in colleges and universities, it is obviously biased to look for the crux of the problem only from the educated without thinking about the defects and improvements of the existing education model itself. In view of this, this paper regards the reflection on the education of college students' motivation to join the party as an important task.

First, the defects of the current education model of motivation to join the Party in colleges and universities

The current model of motivation education for joining the Party is a set of effective models formed by party workers in colleges and universities in their work practice. This educational model has three advantages: paying attention to the integrity of educational content, highlighting the theoretical nature of educational levels and ensuring the universality of educational objects. However, with the in-depth development of party member training for college students, some problems are exposed in practice. These shortcomings are actually accompanied by the characteristics of the above-mentioned incentive education model, mainly including the following three aspects:

(A) the overall education is strong, but the directional education is weak.

The current model of motivation education for joining the Party has a huge content, which can often play an indispensable educational role for activists who join the Party. In the study of the training class of the Party School, the party activists among college students can learn almost everything about the nature, purpose, task, rights and obligations of party member, discipline, history, theory, line, principles and policies of the Party in various periods. The systematic teaching of this knowledge will undoubtedly play a subtle role in correctly establishing the motivation of college students to join the party. However, things always have two sides, and the emphasis on the holistic education of knowledge often leads to the dilution of directional education. After mastering the relevant knowledge of joining the party, many students have not been able to further think about and review the fundamental problem of why they want to join the party. The reason lies in that systematic knowledge transfer has diluted the core content of education-motivation education for joining the party, which eventually leads to the dilution of directional education. Why do college students join the party? This is a rich question. However, many answers can be summed up in one point, that is, pursuing progress. The advanced nature here cannot be understood as the advanced nature of a single person, but should be the advanced nature that can play an exemplary role.

(B) rich theoretical education, lack of practical education.

The current educational model of motivation to join the Party pays special attention to theoretical study without exception. Theoretical study is to teach students Marxism-Leninism, thoughts, theories and important thoughts through party classes and various special lectures. This is one of the most common ways to motivate education. Many grass-roots party workers in colleges and universities often revel in such a picture of theoretical education: inviting a professional ideological education scholar to give a few hours of incisive speech on the education of joining the party with great concentration, in exchange for thunderous applause from the audience.

This indoctrination-style motivation education for joining the party will really stimulate young students' pursuit of joining the party. However, can the purpose of motivation education for joining the Party be easily achieved in just a few class hours? What kind of knowledge and feelings about the party will students leave in their hearts after a short trip? Pedagogy theory tells us that any learning has to go through three processes: knowledge, belief and action. Theoretical study only solves the "knowledge" link, but there is a certain distance between theoretical study and students' life objectively. It is inevitable that it is impossible to "believe" and "act" only by theoretical study. Only by practicing in practice can students have a personal experience and completely solve the problems of "belief" and "behavior" in the motivation to join the party. However, the lack of practical activities is also the weakness of the current motivation education for college students to join the party.

Universal education is enough, but there is a lack of targeted education.

The current model of motivation education for joining the Party also places special emphasis on sound organizational life. Some researchers think: "It is the key work of the Party branch to organize and develop the student party member. Party organizations should actively guide activists to participate in inner-party activities, such as attending party classes, discussing development goals, attending general general party membership meeting, preparing for the swearing-in meeting in party member, and commending the meeting in party member. Through these activities, we will deepen our understanding and understanding of the party. " [2] This view is both representative and reasonable. Compared with theoretical education, organizational life will be closer to students' real life. However, the organizational life of colleges and universities has its own characteristics. For example, as far as inner-party appraisal is concerned, although many students can meet each other sincerely in attitude, it makes the listeners feel excited. However, this is more of an alarm. Alarm bells can alert listeners, but for those students whose motivation to join the party is not very pure, what they need more ideologically is to "get on the horse and give a ride." Therefore, it is more important to track and investigate the ideological trends of every activist who joins the Party outside of party member and organizational life, and to prescribe the right medicine, so as to achieve a practical and pure effect of joining the Party.

Second, the causes of the current educational model of motivation to join the Party in colleges and universities

At present, the formation of the education mode of motivation to join the party in colleges and universities can not be separated from this special party work environment in colleges and universities. Therefore, only by investigating the working environment of party affairs in colleges and universities can we accurately judge the reasons for the defects of this model. These reasons include:

(A) the intrinsic disconnect between theoretical education and practical training of motivation to join the Party

On the one hand, in most colleges and universities, the theoretical education of the motivation to join the party is mainly entrusted to relevant theoretical educators. Such a team of theoretical educators is mostly composed of scholars and professors in the field of social sciences in our school. The specific work of cultivating the motivation of joining the party in colleges and universities is generally managed by the staff of the department where the students work and the deputy secretary of the Party branch responsible for student work. Grass-roots party workers, such as officials, often think that the cultivation of motivation to join the party mainly involves a person's inner state of mind, which is a relatively difficult job. The internal disconnection between theoretical education and specific training of motivation to join the Party leads to inevitable deviation between party affairs theoretical educators and actual trainers in party member, and it is difficult to form a joint force. Therefore, it is difficult for them to effectively correct the ideological deviation of college students' motivation to join the party, and there are always regrets in their work, which also leads to the aforementioned problem of "strong overall education and weak directional education".

(B) the lack of effective communication and inheritance chain of party work experience

1. The student work gave birth to the party work.

In China's colleges and universities, the assessment criteria for the work of faculty and staff are more focused on some work indicators that can be measured and compared externally, including: the number of students participating in social practice activities, the frequency of student community activities, the number of students winning prizes at school, the probability of accidents among students, and so on. Quantifiable indicators not only have their positive side, but also tend to make employees tend to "pay more attention to performance than motivation" [4], which inadvertently plays a role in fueling the situation. The further development of student work has given birth to the development of party affairs. In the consideration of party affairs, many colleges and universities often evaluate the effectiveness of party affairs workers in various departments by the number of applications submitted to join the Party, the number of training courses, the number of activists joining the Party and the number of party member's development. Such an assessment standard will naturally make grass-roots party workers in various departments pay more attention to students' external behavior, which will lead to neglect of their internal mentality, especially the cultivation of their motivation to join the party. Ignoring the cultivation of students' motivation to join the party objectively makes it difficult for grassroots party workers to consciously accumulate relevant experience in the education of motivation to join the party, and it is also difficult for colleagues to effectively exchange and inherit experience.

2. Formalization of the seminar

In most colleges and universities, party affairs seminars are often held several times a year or every semester. However, the communication form of this seminar is mostly papers. In the process of writing papers, grass-roots party workers must abstract their own life experience and add a lot of theoretical materials to rise to the corresponding theoretical height. The sublimation of this theory is at the expense of practical experience. Therefore, in these seminar papers, it is difficult to see a detailed record of the party work experience, and it is also difficult to arouse the reading interest of other party workers, so it is naturally difficult to play a corresponding exchange role.

Employees work in their own way.

At present, most colleges and universities implement the responsibility system of division of labor in the work of faculty and staff. Each member is responsible for a grade or several classes, and each party worker (in fact, most of them are part-time members) also has his own clear one-acre three-point land. Such a contract responsibility system for party work greatly reduces the necessity and possibility of work exchange among grassroots party workers, and the exchange and inheritance chain of party work experience is cut off due to the division of labor.

(3) After the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, the pressure on party affairs has increased dramatically.

After the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, the pressure of both student work and party work has increased sharply, and it is difficult for party workers to cultivate the motivation of every student party member and party activists to join the party. The specific performance is as follows:

1. The number of party personnel is seriously insufficient.

After the expansion of enrollment, the workload of students in all aspects has greatly increased. Many colleges and universities have more or less the problem that the number of staff (that is, grassroots party workers) can't keep up with the overall increase in the number of students and the workload of students. This makes party workers more willing to work than capable. Many workers can only focus on their work, on the general education of students as a whole, and put aside the targeted education of individual students' individual ideological conditions.

2. It is difficult to improve the quality of party workers.

Because even if they spend a lot of time, they are still tired of coping with students' work, so grassroots party workers lack the time and space for self-cultivation, self-development and self-improvement. This lack of self-education opportunities has greatly affected the improvement of staff quality.

3. The influence of employment pressure

The employment pressure of college students accompanying the expansion of enrollment has made many college students' eyes more "pragmatic and utilitarian". [5] Many students make no secret that joining the Party is to add a weight to finding a job after graduation. At the same time, many colleges and universities regard employment rate as the baton of talent training. In this environment, many grass-roots party workers must also consider other factors when developing their motivation to join the party, which has affected their work to some extent.

Third, the transformation of the educational model of the motivation to join the Party in colleges and universities.

The so-called transformation of the educational model of motivation to join the Party in colleges and universities is three transformations of the educational model: from holistic education to directional education, from theoretical education to practical education, and from universal education to directional education. Among the three turns, the first turn is the most important, which guides the completion of the second and third turns.

(1) Grasp the principal contradiction and highlight the orientation education.

In the cultivation of motivation to join the Party, many tasks must be carried out at the same time, and many problems must be solved at the same time. Therefore, we must grasp the main contradictions and the main aspects of contradictions, so that party workers will not fall into a sea of smoke and find the direction of work. How to highlight the advanced connotation of directional education and party member's vanguard and exemplary role is the most urgent problem to be solved at present.

(B) do a good job in training, emphasizing practical education.

To reverse the cultivation tendency of "attaching importance to theory but neglecting practice", we must carry out a large number of practical activities directly related to the cultivation of motivation to join the party. This can be achieved in the following ways:

1. accumulation and exchange of experience of party workers

Colleges and universities can effectively exchange the first-hand experience of grass-roots party workers by holding regular party work forums and staff party work exchange meetings and other fixed platforms. In addition, we can also consider carrying out the questionnaire work on the motivation of joining the party, so as to make the training mode more in line with the actual situation of our school.

lead by example

By inviting party member, a well-known and respected teacher of this department, to communicate with students and share the cultivation and pure process of their motivation to join the Party, we can exert a stronger appeal than traditional theoretical education.

do it yourself

To examine whether the trained object has an exemplary advanced nature, we should give him a platform to play its advanced nature. Party workers can determine the list of help objects for each trained object, and judge the actual effect of the trained object playing a demonstration role through the information feedback of the helped object.

(3) Reconstruct the threshold of joining the Party and strengthen targeted education.

Almost every school's departmental party branch has carefully set the threshold for joining the party. Generally speaking, the setting of this threshold is mainly around academic performance and social work. However, the setting and operation of this threshold for joining the party still solves an actor's external behavior standard, but it can't fundamentally touch the actor's internal behavior motivation. This is like a long-distance running project, which requires the athletes to run to the finish line as quickly as possible, but it is impossible to judge whether the athletes run to the finish line with individualism or patriotism. That is, a person's internal motivation and external behavior can often be inconsistent. "People may obey the rules for fear of punishment, or they may obey the rules for realizing some unfair wishes." [6] Therefore, paying attention to the assessment of external behavior can not achieve the effect of targeted education.

In order to strengthen the investigation of the intrinsic motivation of joining the party, it is suggested that the inspection standard of "exemplary leading role" can be listed on the original threshold of joining the party, so as to evaluate the motivation itself in a targeted manner. In the specific inspection work, party workers must first accurately grasp the intrinsic motivation of every party activist. This can be observed not only by reading the ideological reports of activists joining the Party, but also by talking with them, and more importantly, by observing their performance. Only by listening to what they say and observing what they do can educators accurately grasp the real motivation of joining the party. Secondly, when investigating the motivation to join the party, we should pay attention to the mass line and actively listen to the opinions and suggestions of the surrounding people. The work pressure of college students can't be completely relieved in a short time, and party workers such as clerks should rely on public supervision and other means to improve their work efficiency in the absence of skills. Moreover, the material living environment of colleges and universities determines that it is difficult for any activist to hide his true thoughts, including his motivation to join the party. This is called long-term popularity! Finally, in order to strengthen targeted education, we should also set corresponding goals for every activist who joins the Party, and make a dynamic follow-up survey at each stage of training and inspection.
