First, the unique innovation of "eight loves" theme education activities.
1. always runs through the ideological nature of core values education. Socialist core values are the most fundamental, important and concentrated value core in the socialist spirit and value system. The theme education activities of "Eight Loves" in campus culture reflect the main role of core values education in all aspects, and each activity highlights the ideological nature of core values education. The college firmly grasps the core activities of loving the party-drinking water, thinking about the source, strengthening faith, loving the motherland-living up to its mission, being determined to become a successful person, loving the society-enhancing its responsibility, embodying its value, loving the people-sincerely serving, selfless dedication, loving the school-developing in an all-round way, revitalizing the school and loving teachers. Because it highlights the main role of core values education, it overcomes the obvious shortcomings of single, scattered and unsystematic ideological theme of campus cultural activities in the past, and has always carried out "eight loves" theme education activities around the core of activities, and achieved good results.
2. Covering the comprehensiveness of students' extracurricular activities. Practicing the socialist core values, the school comprehensively covers the contents of the "eight loves" theme education activities on campus: student party building (league building), political education, ideological and moral education, study style construction, civilization construction, social practice, mental health, self-management, school rules and discipline education, safety education, community activities, and cultural and sports activities. The theme education activities of "eight loves" on campus adhere to the theme requirement of loving the party and patriotism, and embody the fundamental requirement of loving society and people. Love for school is the key point, and love for classmates and love for yourself is the foundation. The content of each activity not only has ideological themes, but also blends with each other and complements each other. For example, the activity of "Love Society" includes both the content of loving the humanistic social environment and the content of loving the natural social environment, which not only embodies the education of improving the outlook on life in the humanistic society, but also embodies the education of values for the harmonious development of nature and humanistic society. "Love school" activity is not only an aspect of loving the motherland and social education, but also an aspect of loving the school in a civilized way, improving its comprehensive quality and loving the school with practical actions. "Love yourself" activities, first of all, emphasize that the basic point of self-esteem is to consciously abide by school rules and discipline, and the basis of self-reliance is to treat people with integrity and civilization; Then it emphasizes that the cornerstone of self-confidence and self-improvement is mental health, and the key point is to continuously improve learning ability, psychological quality and comprehensive ability to adapt to society.
3. Diversity of educational activities with the theme of "Eight Loves". The diversity of "eight loves" theme education activities in colleges and universities is based on the flexibility and interest of the activities, and the consciousness of students' activities is greatly enhanced. There are both forms of activities embodied in campus culture and social practice activities outside the school; There are both regular and irregular fixed-point activities; There are both individual activities and group activities; Education has both positive and subtle forms. Specific activities include politics, public welfare, study, style and self-management. There are school meetings, class meetings, party (league) classes, voluntary service, evaluation first, school spirit supervision, art festivals, forums, community activities and so on. There are political learning and business skills competitions, cultural and sports competitions, speeches, essays, lectures, recitations, blackboard newspapers, online Weibo, social research and social services.
4. The extensiveness of the subject's participation in the "eight loves" theme education activities. Because the school's "eight loves" theme education activities are set up as students' ideological and political practice courses in an all-round way, and are included in compulsory courses like students' ideological and political theory courses; Every student must participate in ideological and political practice activities for more than 10 class hours each semester, of which 5 class hours are social practice classes; Moreover, because the activity form is easy to understand, it is easy to be accepted by the majority of students, and 100% students actively participate in it.
Second, the "eight loves" theme of the effectiveness of innovation in educational activities
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council's Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving College Students' Ideological and Political Education (document 2004 16) pointed out: "The effectiveness of ideological and political theory courses in schools is not strong, and ideological and political education is not closely integrated with college students' ideological reality." To this end, the Party Committee of the College has formulated the implementation plan of the eight love theme education activities of campus culture (College Party Word 20 1 17).
1. Focus on learning and practicing core values. Socialist core values must pay attention to the unity of individual values and social values, and social values must be realized through social practice activities. A prominent feature of "Eight Loves" activity is practicality, especially the core values run through all campus cultural activities. Such as Party (Youth League) school training activities, community activities to study and practice core values, party member inspirational student demonstration post activities, flag-raising etiquette education activities (once a week), July 1st Song Party Art Festival, the 11th Patriotic Expo, inspirational talents professional skills competition to serve the motherland, civilized campus creation, civilized student activities, etc. Another outstanding feature is the social extension of campus cultural activities. Students regularly go out of school for social practice. By deepening the understanding of socialist core values in the practice of local enterprises and communities, deepening the understanding of the party's basic line and basic national conditions, deepening the understanding of society, and constantly sublimating ideas in practice.
2. Emphasize that ideological and political theory courses and ideological and political practice courses go hand in hand. Solve the problem that students' ideological and political education is not closely combined with college students' ideological reality from the system. The ideological and political practice course is listed as a compulsory course, and students are organized to participate in the performance of the "eight loves" theme education activities on campus culture. Through the organization of the Student Affairs Office, the Youth League Committee and the counselors of various departments (classes), the assessment method is implemented for the results of each student's ideological and political practice activities and included in the results, which are listed as students' ideological and political courses together with the ideological and political theory courses, each accounting for 50% of the scores. Therefore, the effectiveness of ideological and political education has been greatly enhanced. 3. Strengthen the ideological education function of social practice. The College is located in Xiangtan (national) Economic and Technological Development Zone, Hunan Province, and has established seven "practice bases for moral education in school-enterprise areas" to strengthen the ideological education function of students' moral education practice and serve the local economy and community. After learning Lei Feng's volunteer service normalization activities (Jiuhua bus volunteer service action, environmental sanitation clean-up action, voluntary blood donation, voluntary home appliance repair, community and enterprise literature and art volunteer service, psychological volunteer service activity, caring for orphans and disabled families and left-behind children, etc.), he successfully established a "community night school", where students used their professional knowledge and skills to teach and guide, effectively improving the cultural and technical quality of community residents and greatly promoting the ideological, political and moral quality of students.
Third, the long-term innovation of "eight loves" theme education activities.
1. Effective organization and sound system are fundamental. The school set up a leading group for "eight loves" theme education activities, headed by the school leader in charge of student work, with the director of the student work department as the deputy head, and the student work department set up a leading group office to determine the person responsible for the organization and coordination of moral education practice classes; Each department (college) has set up a working group on the theme of "eight loves" education activities led by the person in charge of the students (colleges). We have established and improved the teaching plan, management methods, reward and punishment methods, assessment methods, supervision methods, calculation methods, etc. of moral practice teachers (students and workers who are mainly counselors), effectively ensuring the long-term and effective development of the school's "eight loves" theme education activities.
2. Measures are in place, and team integrity is the key. As a compulsory course for students' moral education practice, the theme education activity of "Eight Loves" has formed a system in the school, adopting strict attendance system and assessment system, making up lessons for those who fail the assessment, and delaying or stopping issuing graduation certificates when they graduate. As an important basis for judging first, joining the party and evaluating scholarships, the results of moral practice courses have promoted the in-depth and lasting development of the school's "eight loves" theme education activities. As the school counselor team is the organizer and instructor of students' ideological and political practice course, the school attaches great importance to it. According to the ratio of (150 ~180):1,the school counselor team is directly managed to the class, classroom and dormitory, and is specifically responsible for the educational organization and assessment of students' ideological and political practice course. Every year, through the supervision and evaluation of the team of ideological and political practice courses with counselors as the mainstay, they are commended and rewarded respectively, which greatly stabilizes the team and mobilizes the enthusiasm of teachers.
Normal training and strengthening scientific research are the guarantee. Because the practical course of students' moral education with the theme of "eight loves" is an innovative work, there is no experience that domestic universities can learn from; Therefore, the school organizes 1-2 regular training and business competitions for teachers of ideological and political practice courses every semester. At the same time, the school has also intensified its ideological and political education and scientific research. From 20 1 1 to 20 13, the theme education activity of "Eight Loves" has always been a key topic of the school, and it has been given key support in financial support; In 20 12, the school successfully applied for the key characteristic projects of ideological and political education in colleges and universities in Hunan province, and vigorously strengthened theoretical research to guide practice with theory and promote the improvement of theoretical level with practice. This is a necessary way to ensure and realize the long-term effectiveness of moral education practice courses based on the theme of "eight loves" in schools.
