Grass-roots ideological and political education must firmly establish the ideological concept of "focusing on solving practical problems", strengthen "three kinds of consciousness", take being close to reality and officers and men as the starting point and end result of ideological and political education, and take answering and solving major problems in the real life of officers and men as the fundamental task of ideological and political work. The first is to enhance people-oriented awareness. The formation and development of officers and men's thoughts are regular, and ideological and political education is an external factor to guide the transformation of officers and men's thoughts and behaviors. Finally, through the ideological transformation within the officers and men, the correct views and political positions were formed. Therefore, grassroots political and ideological education should establish a people-oriented educational concept, take promoting the all-round development of officers and men as the goal of ideological education in accordance with the new requirements of building a harmonious society, be good at discovering and fully mobilizing the internal positive factors of officers and men, adhere to people-oriented, respect, understand and care for people, convince people with reason, touch people with sincerity and control people with emotion. The second is to enhance the awareness of the times. With the development of the times and social progress, the knowledge structure, life interest, ideas and ideology of officers and men are quietly changing, which urgently requires ideological and political education to keep up with the trend of the times, keep up with the pace of army building, transmit new information and meet the reasonable needs of officers and men's spiritual culture. Therefore, the army's political and ideological education should adapt to the changes of the situation and tasks and the realistic requirements, treat the ideological and political education work with a development perspective, closely focus on the reality of reform and opening up and army building, solve and answer the practical problems of the broad masses of officers and men, unite people's hearts, mobilize enthusiasm, and provide a strong political guarantee for ensuring "two stabilities." The third is to enhance the sense of innovation. The key to doing ideological and political education is to grasp the innovation of ideological and political education. It is necessary to intensify the reform of educational methods, implement heuristic educational concepts, actively promote flexible and diverse educational methods such as research, discussion, questioning and induction, and ensure that ideological and political education will always maintain its vitality and vitality.
2. Ideological and political education must closely follow the lifeline of the times, grasp the ideological trends of officers and men, and ensure that education is targeted.
The army doesn't live in a vacuum, so it is easily influenced by the climate. Different situations will make officers and men have different ideological understandings, and the effect of preaching truth alone is not obvious. Insist on "focusing" the development and changes of the situation on the ideological dynamics of officers and men, take deepening the theme as the theme, keep education consistent with the changes of the situation, and always start from the issues we really care about, the hot topics of discussion and the focus of attention, and strive to help officers and men establish a correct outlook on life, world outlook and values. Strengthen the highest ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and lay a solid spiritual pillar for officers and men to build meritorious police camps. Grassroots cadres, especially political cadres, should always analyze and study the ideological status of officers and men, understand what officers and men are thinking, what they can't figure out, what difficulties and requirements they have, and conduct detailed and convincing education at different levels in response to their concerns. Only by grasping the tendentious and realistic ideological problems that affect the growth of officers and men and the construction of the army can we ensure the pertinence and effectiveness of education.
3. Ideological and political education must put an end to formalism and strive to improve the educational effect.
Ideological and political education is not a "superficial article" used to decorate the facade, but the need to strengthen the political and ideological construction of fire fighting forces in the new period, and it is an important means to instill progressive social consciousness in officers and men. In order to enhance the attraction and appeal of education, expand the effect of education, pay attention to the improvement of methods, and make education as colorful and lively as possible, it is absolutely necessary for grass-roots units to carry out ideological and political education. However, simply pursuing form, ignoring content, making superficial articles and doing some fancy ideas, focusing only on formalism that looks lively on the surface but has little effect in fact, can only make education narrower and farther away from reality. Therefore, ideological and political education should avoid attaching importance to the outside while neglecting the inside, strive to promote the combination of form and content, overcome the form that is divorced from the content, and make the form and content integrated and inseparable. To carry out ideological and political education, we must adhere to the combination of responsibility and rights from top to bottom, do not seek form, do not go through the motions, be close to the ideological reality of officers and men, distinguish levels and do a good job in education. In education, we should not be afraid of trouble, make full use of high-tech equipment, take information network construction as the traction, and make full use of modern media with large amount of information, wide coverage and strong influence to establish a "database" for ideological and political education in our unit. Actively explore the creation and application of some new forms, combine the creation of new forms with the inheritance and application of traditional good forms, and jointly promote the improvement of ideological and political education.
Ideological and political education should start with strengthening the construction of teachers.
1, requirements for ideological and political educators
In addition to the general quality of outstanding talents, they should also have political quality, ideological quality, knowledge structure, psychological quality and ability quality. Therefore, the establishment of a strong political, professional and practical teaching team is an important organizational guarantee to adapt to the new situation and do a good job in ideological and political education of grass-roots fire forces. In terms of personnel composition, we can broaden the ranks of teachers, change the status quo of "one-man show" of political cadres, and establish and form a team of political teachers with political cadres as the main body and combining military and political work with war. In terms of knowledge structure, educators should not only systematically master the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, but also understand the knowledge of sociology, pedagogy, psychology, behavioral science and high technology, and constantly optimize the knowledge structure with the development of the times.
2. Quality and ability performance
They should not only have good ideological and political quality and high cultural quality, but also have the ability to observe and analyze problems, organize and plan education, and also have the ability to reason, express and talk. Therefore, the political departments at higher levels can take various forms, such as training, study and education, ideological and political education seminars, and educational courseware competitions, to help grassroots political educators continuously improve their comprehensive ability to do a good job in ideological and political education. At the same time, educators should form a good habit of loving learning, be willing to study and explore diligently, constantly improve working methods and means, and constantly improve the level of political work. With the attitude of being responsible for every soldier, we should truly implement the "five similarities" with soldiers, grasp the difficulties, sufferings and ideological conditions of soldiers in time, do ideological work patiently and meticulously, actively communicate the feelings of officers and men, resolve the contradictions of soldiers, and answer difficult questions of soldiers.
3. Enhance the demonstration of education.
It should be said that at present, the exemplary role of party member cadres in the army is generally good, but there are indeed a few people who are influenced by decadent ideas and unhealthy trends in society, and there are problems such as impure thoughts, unhealthy work style and poor exemplary role to varying degrees. Therefore, in order to improve the quality and effect of ideological and political education in fire fighting forces, we must focus on party member cadres and do a good job in the study and education of party member cadres, so that they can stand in the forefront of resisting corruption and degeneration, resisting unhealthy trends, correctly handling the adjustment of interest relations in deepening reform and completing other tasks of the army.
Grass-roots ideological and political education should really start from itself, from now on, from specific things, from bit by bit, take the lead in observing the rules and regulations of the army, and set an example from the aspects of political quality, ideological consciousness, obedience to service consciousness, work style, professional accomplishment and moral sentiment, so as to further consolidate the thinking of officers and men and guide the construction and development of the army more effectively.
