Keywords: ideological and political education, ways, necessity
First, the political and ideological characteristics of contemporary college students and problems in education
1, the political and ideological characteristics of contemporary college students
(1) Complex and diverse political ideas; Political thinking is calm and pragmatic; Conscious political behavior; Political consciousness is rising in an all-round way, and some negative phenomena have also appeared. With the development of market economy and the influence of international situation, the political thoughts of college students are influenced by social history. The ideal and adventurous political ideas in the past are being replaced by a realistic, utilitarian and personal pursuit of diversified life. The rapid development of economy, the change of domestic and international situation, and the rational behavior of expressing will according to legal procedures indicate that the political thinking of Chinese college students is maturing from another angle.
(2) The standard of value judgment has changed from single to dual; The value choice is diversified and scattered, and the mainstream is not prominent; The way to realize value is from dependence to autonomy. Since the reform and opening up, one of the important manifestations of social structure changes in China is the continuous advancement of socialist modernization and the fundamental transformation from planned economy to market economy. College students begin to pay equal attention to individuals and society, career and interest, make contributions, seek unity, and are willing to serve society and others, but also pay attention to social respect and others' return. The choice of value is no longer one-sided. While giving full play to personal subjective initiative and pursuing the maximization of personal value, it also shows a utilitarian trend. In the mainstream of realizing self-worth, it has changed from relying on collective organizations to achieving self-improvement through personal struggle.
2. Problems existing in ideological and political education of contemporary college students.
(1) Most of them are teacher-centered and a few are student-centered. What time? Student-oriented? It has become an important goal of modern education. Care about development? When it has become an educational concept, many colleges and universities still follow the teacher-oriented education system-that is, all the management, education and service systems designed for teachers to teach well and centered on teachers. Under its influence, education always takes the needs of teachers as the starting point, the classroom becomes the stage for teachers to perform, and teachers are self-centered and adopt? Cramming at the last minute? The form of indoctrination requires students to accept it completely, making education a repetitive mechanical labor, which is not conducive to the cultivation of students' innovative spirit and practical ability; In the management of students, schools only pay attention to restraint and coercion, ignoring the importance of students' self-education, self-management and self-service, so that sometimes they take some disciplinary measures that harm students' development.
(2) Highlight the teaching of truth, divorced from social reality and students' ideological reality. When educating students on ideals and beliefs, patriotism, national spirit and civic morality, they talk too much about the truth and fail to adhere to people-oriented, close to reality, close to life and close to students.
(3) Over-reliance on counselor education, ignoring the influence of teachers' morality education on students' ideological and political education. Most teachers think that counselors are political cadres who do students' ideological and political work and the first backbone organizer of students' ideological and political work. Students' ideological and political education is their job. They only need to take good classes by themselves, so that they ignore students' bad thoughts and behaviors inside and outside the classroom, teachers' ideological and political quality and professional ethics, which is directly related to the effectiveness of moral education in colleges and universities and the healthy growth of college students.
(4) Pay more attention to outstanding students and less attention to students of special groups. Many colleges and universities always look at the number of outstanding students in which class, grade and department, instead of taking how many students have made progress and greatly improved their ability as the main conditions for participating in the evaluation. Under the misleading policy, political workers regard outstanding college students as the main object of ideological and political education, which reflects the workload and ability standards, and even don't know the names of some problem students.
Second, ways and means of ideological and political education for college students
1, teacher's classroom teaching method.
Colleges and universities arrange basic courses of ideological and political theory on the basis of college students' enrollment, which lays a theoretical and ideological foundation for college students, helps to cultivate students' firm and correct political direction, establish Marxist world outlook, outlook on life and values, and strengthen students' theoretical cultivation.
2. Counselors' emotional involvement method and life care method.
Ideological and political work should not only convince people with reason, but also convince people with emotion. In order to be empathetic, educators must care and understand the educated and sincerely love the students. Educators should devote themselves to college students, not only spreading knowledge, but also caring for them ideologically, politically, in study and in life, and sincerely solving problems for them, thus establishing deep feelings of mutual trust and respect.
3. Law on Party and Youth League Activities.
With the establishment of the socialist market economic system, there are individualism, hedonism and money worship among young college students to varying degrees, and their outlook on life, values and morality have been out of order and deviated to varying degrees, and the ideas of socialism, patriotism and collectivism have been weakened. Young college students are in an immature period, and their thoughts are very plastic, including their thinking and psychological state, which are in a mature development process.
4. Social practice and self-education law.
Ideological and political work departments in colleges and universities attach importance to practical education, create more opportunities for young college students to go to society and get in touch with reality, and guide them to understand society. In addition to summer social practice and graduate internship, the usual practical activities can be organized in various ways.
Third, the need to strengthen ideological and political education of college students
1. Strengthening the ideological and political education of college students is conducive to improving the political quality of the people.
The core and emphasis of ideological and political education is political and ideological education, which helps college students to establish correct political beliefs by imparting ideological and political theories and political values. The current social competition mechanism has caused the fierce conflict of most people's interests, caused many people's ideological confusion and hesitation, and also caused some students to degenerate and commit crimes. These environmental changes put forward higher requirements for ideological and political education. Contemporary college students are the main body of socialist construction, so it is imperative to strengthen the ideological and political education of college students, which is conducive to the improvement of national political quality.
2. Strengthening the ideological and political education of college students is conducive to improving people's ideological and moral quality and psychological quality.
The contradiction to be solved in ideological and political education is the contradiction between the ideological, moral and psychological quality needed by social development and the current level of the educated. In today's society, juvenile delinquency is increasing day by day, and uncivilized words and deeds are often seen in the media, which is the direct result of neglecting moral education. Therefore, while improving the social legal system, we should further play the role of moral education, so that it can play the role of encouragement, guidance and standardization. Through ideological and political education, we can improve people's ideological and moral quality and promote the further development of a harmonious society.
3. Strengthening the ideological and political education of college students is conducive to cultivating high-quality talents needed in the new period.
People's all-round development is inseparable from quality education, and ideological and political education is the fundamental guarantee for the development of quality education. Ideological and political education is a comprehensive educational activity to improve personality, which will play an important role in the cultivation of high-quality talents in the new period in China. Strengthen ideological and political education in personnel training, ensure the implementation of the Party's line, principles and policies by strengthening political theory education, and cultivate new ideas, new ideas and new spirits needed by socialist modernization in the new period through social practice activities to ensure the all-round advancement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's great cause.
