To meet the requirements of the "two fundamental changes" in the construction of our army, ideological and political education should focus on improving the combat effectiveness of the army and strive to improve the combat effectiveness of the army as the starting point and the end result of education. When making educational plans, we should consider ideological and political education in the overall situation of the overall construction of the army, unify the responsibility for the upper and the responsibility for the lower, thoroughly understand the situation, and form our own educational characteristics. Therefore, in the guiding ideology of education, we need to deal with three relations: first, we need to deal with the relationship between fundamental goals and specific goals, and the specific goals of education should not be divorced from the fundamental goals determined by the general tasks of the party and the nature and characteristics of our army, but should be organically unified; Second, we should handle the relationship between long-term goals and short-term goals. The education plan should not only focus on the long-term goal of training "four haves" soldiers, but also determine the short-term goals of various education from the different characteristics of officers and men in different stages of growth. Third, we should handle the relationship between the overall goal and the hierarchical goal. The educational plan should closely focus on the overall goal of improving combat effectiveness, and distinguish different levels of goals according to the differences in ideological basis and acceptance ability of different levels of objects.
Second, strengthen the pertinence of educational preparation.
Due to the different working characteristics and resident environment, the ideological characteristics of personnel in various units are also different. Before each education, we should understand and accurately grasp the actual ideological situation of officers and men in time, so as to make the education plans and programs more targeted. First, we should know the basic situation of officers and men like the back of our hand, such as the composition of our unit and the existing ideological problems. Second, pay attention to the subtle changes in the thinking of officers and men and grasp the opportunity of education. For example, scientific and technological cadres generally have a strong sense of accomplishment, and they are prone to ideological problems in the allocation of scientific research tasks, early promotion, evaluation and appointment of professional and technical positions, signature of scientific research achievements, and meritorious service awards. The third is to pay attention to the changes in the resident and social environment, especially the factors that may affect the troops and officers and men, such as the changes in the situation, the introduction of new policies, and the change of tasks. On the basis of mastering the basic ideological conditions of officers and men, it is necessary to find out what these problems are, whether they are individual or tendentious, practical or ideological, what are the causes of the problems, what impact they may have on individuals and troops, and what is the development trend. Different ideological problems that may occur to different personnel should be analyzed and studied according to different situations. According to the different ideological basis and personality characteristics of officers and men, the nature and reasons of the problems are different. According to different people, different things, different times and different places, different educational methods and means are chosen.
Third, strengthen the pertinence of educational content selection.
In order to achieve the expected goal of ideological and political education, it is very important to choose the educational content in a targeted way. If the educational content is not closely related to the characteristics of the army and the thinking of officers and men, it will not achieve good educational results. To enhance the pertinence of educational content, efforts should be made in three aspects: First, to enhance the creativity of educational content. Appropriate "addition, subtraction, multiplication and division" should be done for the educational content assigned by superiors. For the educational content with universal guiding significance determined by the superiors in the first year from a macro perspective, the subordinates must closely follow the characteristics of their own units and the actual needs of officers and men, determine the key points, and increase or decrease. There are points and combinations, allowing "flexibility"; Make the choice of educational content flexible and creative. Second, we should strengthen the practicality of educational content. In addition to completing the mandatory education of superiors, all units often arrange some random education, which must be carried out by firmly grasping the hot spots, doubts, key points and blind spots that officers and men are most concerned about, so as to prevent being greedy for perfection and flashy. The third is to strengthen the education content department.
Unity. To strengthen the pertinence of ideological and political education, we must work hard on some basic theoretical contents such as its systematicness, stability and continuity, and overcome the randomness of educational content selection.
Fourth, strengthen the pertinence of educational forms.
There are many reasons that affect the effect of ideological and political education, among which form is also an important factor. At present, the outstanding problem is that some departments and cadres are accustomed to attaching importance to education and engaging in "single-handedness", and unilaterally expect to solve all problems through ideological and political education, especially classroom education, and the result is often counterproductive. Practice has proved that education can solve many problems, especially ideological problems, but not all problems. This requires us to seriously study the law of ideological changes of officers and men under the new situation, establish a systematic view of "great political work" and "great education", fully combine ideological education, policy guidance, incentive mechanism, supervision measures and administrative management, and give full play to the overall effectiveness of political work. First, regard ideological and political education as a systematic project and strive to do a good job in every link. At the same time, mobilize various forces to form a joint force of ideological and political education. Second, ideological and political education should be closely combined with the role of organizations and systems. While carrying out ideological education, we should be good at using rules and regulations to solve existing problems, thus reflecting the ideological, principled and combative nature of education. Third, combine ideological and political education with giving play to the policy role. It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda of the party's policies and make them play an incentive-oriented role. Fourth, closely combine ideological and political education with strict management. Education is soft management and management is hard education. Individual education failures should be resolutely restrained by administrative means.
Fifth, strengthen the pertinence of the overall effectiveness of ideological and political education.
First of all, Party committees should strengthen the sense of overall planning. At present, some units say that the Party committee is responsible for overall management and division of labor and cooperation. It seems that there is no shortage of strength, but in fact the efficiency is poor. The reason for this problem is not only the problem of working methods, but the lack of overall awareness of the party Committee. Therefore, the Party Committee should conduct research work based on the outline, arrange tasks under the overall guidance of the outline, check and evaluate the work with the outline, consciously make overall plans by the Party Committee and coordinate the organs in a unified way, and avoid ideological fluctuations of officers and men caused by work mistakes through scientific and efficient work.
Secondly, political cadres should enhance their sense of political mission. Political cadres have investigated the ideological status of officers and men more, and have a deeper understanding of the causes of specific ideological problems. However, some political cadres are aware of the practical problems and difficulties that cause the ideological fluctuation of officers and men, especially those that are not within their own functions and powers. You often don't pay attention As a result, although you have done education, the effect is not obvious. Sometimes, you have an aversion to ideological and political education, thinking that you can only talk about the truth of "falsehood and falsehood" and can't solve any practical problems. Therefore, as political cadres, we should strengthen our sense of responsibility, help solve the ideological problems of officers and men, and strengthen the concept of party spirit for whatever reason. When some cadres of political organs go on investigating, officers and men often say that this is beyond their own authority and there is nothing they can do, which seems to be "white talk". Therefore, the political organs department must strengthen the concept of party spirit, feed back the problems of other departments reflected by officers and men to the relevant departments in time, and call on the relevant departments to solve the practical difficulties of officers and men in time.
In addition, all functional organizations should enhance their awareness of political responsibility. There are many general routine jobs in various functional departments, and the benefits of these routine jobs must be considered from the overall situation of army building, especially from the height of politics. All functional departments should measure their work by political standards and be good at combining their work with that of other departments. Although various functional organs and other departments have a division of responsibilities, they should perform their duties without separation, cooperate with each other, penetrate each other and make up for each other. You can't leave my business alone, and I won't ask your business. For example, if the headquarters strengthens the management of a certain aspect, it is necessary to coordinate the political department to carry out relevant education. When arranging the political education plan, the political department should also give full consideration to the needs of education and training tasks and serve the central work. In this way, the work of various departments of the organs can penetrate and guarantee each other, and the effect of ideological and political education can be ensured by the overall efficiency of each work.
