In recent years, college students' life education has aroused widespread concern, mainly because some college students have become very negative about life and there are omissions in life education and teaching activities in colleges and universities. The main goal of ideological and political education in colleges and universities is to help students establish a positive world outlook, outlook on life and values. With the globalization of economic development, ideological and political education in colleges and universities has been paid more and more attention, and ideological and political courses based on life education have become the general trend of higher education development in the future.

First, the connotation of life education
Academic circles have not yet formed a unified view and opinion on the definition of life education. Although we can define and summarize life education according to our own understanding, these definitions are difficult to meet the needs of social development. Simply put, the most important purpose of life education is to tap life intelligence, promote value reflection and integrate relevant information. Life education can help students better understand the true meaning of life, learn to respect life, actively explore the meaning of life, and love their own life more. Some people regard life education as preventing students from committing suicide, so once there is news of students committing suicide in the news, they begin to call on the academic circles to pay more attention to life education. However, it is very narrow to equate life education with suicide prevention. Besides, after the tragedy, it is impossible to solve any problems through life education.
Therefore, life education can't make up for it afterwards, but should start as soon as possible to help students establish a positive outlook on life. The most important part of life education is to help students understand death correctly, so that they can accept life better and learn to cherish life. This kind of outlook on life can help them face the dribs and drabs of life with appreciation. Nowadays, college education often pays more attention to professional teaching, while the teaching activities of life wisdom are often ignored. Under this background, students are limited by knowledge and system, and have been in a depressed environment for a long time, ignoring the value of life. Although students have received all kinds of education in their study and life, they still know nothing about the true meaning of life. The basis of helping college students to establish a good outlook on life is to make them have a deeper understanding of the value of life, which is closely related to the philosophy of life. What is a person's future, whether he can make his life full of meaning and avoid being caught in the busyness of doing nothing depends to a great extent on his own understanding of life. In addition, life education also needs to help students establish positive values, and students' values will be greatly influenced by the educational environment. In today's increasingly diversified social culture, it is an important connotation of life education to help college students develop scientific moral thinking and improve their ability to distinguish right from wrong. At present, in university education, moral education and normative education are more easily concerned by people, while ideological education is obviously lacking.
Second, the problems of life education in ideological and political courses in colleges and universities in China
1. Universities lack attention to life education.
According to relevant surveys, only one-third of students in domestic universities have received life education, which shows that life education has not received due attention in domestic universities. Although the ideological and political course involves the related contents of life education, the main ways for domestic college students to receive life education are the internet and magazines. Most universities in China have set up mental health education centers, but the recognition of these education centers among college students is not high. In some colleges and universities, students spontaneously set up relevant associations, the scale is relatively small, and there are some problems in the teaching staff, which also determines that students' participation is relatively low and their influence is small. In fact, colleges and universities have not actively carried out effective life education for college students. It is worth noting that domestic college students have higher and higher demand for life education and have a good audience base, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of life education. At present, the problems existing in life education in domestic colleges and universities, on the one hand, reflect the difficulties that may be encountered in educational activities, on the other hand, prove the great development potential of life education.
2. Life education in colleges and universities is still at the level of natural life.
At present, life education in ideological and political education in domestic colleges and universities is often put on the agenda by schools after extreme violence, with the aim of protecting the life of the natural layer. However, such teaching methods and educational opportunities can not fundamentally help people solve existing problems. Behind all kinds of injuries in colleges and universities is the lack of psychological education, value education and ideological education. In recent years, domestic universities have paid more and more attention to life education, so life education has begun to appear in more and more ideological and political courses in domestic universities. In China, people pay more and more attention to life education. The most important reason is that people's lives, health and safety are increasingly threatened due to frequent natural disasters. In the face of natural disasters, individual life is easily impacted and influenced, and the problems that constantly appear in society will also threaten individual life. Faced with such a situation, students need to have the ability to use disasters to improve their survival skills. In addition, students should have a better level of mental health, and ideological and political teachers should help students cultivate a more positive sense of life.
3. The dilemma of independent life education in ideological and political courses in colleges and universities
Life education mainly focuses on people's understanding of life, which mainly includes four aspects, namely, the relationship between people and themselves, between people and others, between people and the whole society, and between people and the universe. Some knowledge has been contacted and involved by students as early as the basic education stage, and it will also be involved in the study of other disciplines, such as science classes and ideological and moral classes in primary and secondary schools. Therefore, just like the knowledge learned in the previous basic education stage, the life education in the ideological and political course in colleges and universities has a great overlap with the original content, which will increase the learning burden of students and make them resistant to this subject. Explaining ideological and political education with the method of life education can help teachers better enrich the course content and further enrich the original educational concept. Life education and ideological and political education are complementary and can promote each other.
4. Universities lack professional teachers with relevant knowledge background.
For education and teaching activities, teachers' own level plays a very important and decisive role. Whether teachers have high professional quality and their educational ability can meet the needs of life education will directly affect the effect of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. In order to change teachers' traditional teaching concept, make the concept of life education truly integrated into their daily teaching activities, help students develop a good outlook on life, and improve the practical application efficiency of life education in students' study and life. In recent years, with the expansion of domestic colleges and universities, the scale of colleges and universities is growing. The original hardware facilities and environment in colleges and universities can no longer meet the needs of students' life, which leads to many college students' low sense of identity with the school and easy to cause psychological problems for students. They will feel very confused and confused, and it is difficult to vent their feelings through existing channels.
Thirdly, the concrete ways to construct the ideological and political course system in colleges and universities based on life education.
1. Introduce the consciousness of life care into the teaching concept.
Colleges and universities should clarify the leading role of students and adhere to people-oriented teaching activities. Most college students are in adolescence, and their outlook on life is not yet fully mature and independent. After entering the university, they must leave their familiar family life and face their daily study and life independently as adults. Many college students often feel confused about this situation at the beginning of their enrollment, and they don't know how to plan their lives, which is prone to problems. In the process of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, we should pay more attention to life education and give more care to students. Colleges and universities should also protect students' unique personality and advocate humanized new education according to specific training objectives, so that students' subjective initiative can be truly brought into play in life and they can have a deeper understanding of themselves and their studies. In daily ideological and political education and teaching activities, teachers should take the initiative to understand students' daily life and study, help students solve their difficulties in life, and create a more harmonious living environment for students. This has a very positive effect on improving teaching quality and helping students grow up.
2. Add the life education concept of combining Chinese and Western into the education content.
Due to the continuous development of the Internet and the gradual improvement of the level of globalization, the means of social communication are becoming more and more abundant, which greatly increases the channels for college students to obtain information. Ideological and political courses in colleges and universities are closely related to social development, so it is unrealistic to escape the influence of western thoughts unilaterally. How to selectively receive advanced western ideological achievements, help students improve their discriminating ability, and make them face the dribs and drabs of Chinese and western cultures with dialectical eyes is an urgent problem to be solved in ideological and political education in colleges and universities. Many college students in our country think it is very necessary to integrate life education into the existing ideological and political education, which also lays a good foundation for the development of life education. There are many similarities between life education and ideological and political education. Integrating advanced western educational ideas into teaching activities and combining them with excellent domestic ideology and culture can help the ideological and political course get more nutrients, which is also very beneficial to the long-term development of the course itself.
3. Construct an interactive educational mechanism among family, school and society.
In the traditional educational concept, the so-called "education" is actually school education. However, what this view ignores is that education itself is systematic, its educational function cannot be completely completed by schools, and families and society also need to bear important responsibilities in educational activities. So life education should be completed by these three parties. Family is the earliest place for students to receive education, which has a very far-reaching impact on the growth of students. In college life, many students leave home, but family education will also play an important role in the formation of students' personality, and society, as a larger concept, will further play a role in schools and families. Therefore, only by building a harmonious society and giving life due respect can college students' outlook on life be established healthily.
Four. conclusion
For higher education, the cultivation of life value and life consciousness is a topic that can not be ignored, which can help students face the next life with a better attitude towards life. This paper briefly discusses the meaning of life education, analyzes the problems existing in ideological and political education in domestic colleges and universities in combination with life practice, and puts forward some improvement measures. It has become an inevitable choice for development to truly integrate life education into college students' ideological and political education. At present, China's life education is still in its infancy, and there are still some problems and loopholes in the educational content. The combination of ideological and political education and this theme in daily teaching activities is also limited.
