Problem-based targeted focus Thematic collective research Jiangxi colleges and universities "hand in hand" to improve the quality of ideological and political science classes

(Reporter Xu Guangming Correspondent Zhu Tianxing) "Why is it necessary to sinicize Marxism? "How did the new-democratic revolution succeed?" ...... Recently, at the Jiangxi Province "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" problem-based thematic team teaching reform collective preparation meeting held by Nanchang Hangkong University, more than 40 backbone ideological and political teachers from different colleges and universities discussed and polished 13 topics of the course, and the follow-up will form a unified problem-based thematic teaching plan in the province.

How to really find problems and find out real problems in the teaching of ideological and political science? How to change the attractiveness and lack of influence of ideological and political science brought about by "indoctrination" teaching? ...... In the face of a series of problems affecting the quality of ideological and political science lessons, the Education Working Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education have formulated a good recipe - the cross-school "hand in hand" problem-based thematic team teaching reform in colleges and universities.

In 2020, Jiangxi selected 8 colleges and universities to take the lead in taking the two courses of "Outline of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History" and "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", in accordance with the general idea of "deriving from teaching materials, transcending teaching materials; basing on classrooms, transcending classrooms; relying on the main lecture, surpassing the main lectures", taking counterpart assistance as the starting point, and piloting the reform of problem-based thematic team teaching by excavating problems, constructing special topics, and forming teams to teach across schools.

The thematic design of "less but fine" makes it easier for students to grasp the essence of the ideological and political class. Teamwork and cross-school lesson preparation not only realize the integration of high-quality teachers between schools, but also realize the sharing of high-quality resources. Over the past year or so, students' satisfaction with the teachers of the political science class has increased by 15.7% year-on-year, and the satisfaction with the political science class has increased by 11.7% year-on-year.

In 2021, the Education Working Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education decided to promote the "problem-based thematic team teaching reform" in depth to improve the quality and expand the scope. Focusing on courses such as "Basic Principles of Marxism", "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", "Outline of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History", and "Ideological Ethics and rule of law", in accordance with the principle of proximity, a 15-issue thematic team teaching reform community has been formed, and through condensing special topics, compiling teaching plans, and innovating the three-step method of teaching, we have repeatedly polished the design of teaching topics, compiled teaching plans and courseware, improved teaching methods and methods, and continuously improved the theoretical depth, practical intensity, and emotional temperature of ideological and political science courses.

Jiangxi gives full play to the role of the team, jointly carries out the research of special teaching content, and takes this as an opportunity to cultivate a group of famous teachers and famous teachers in the ideological and political science class, forming a number of excellent teaching achievements. After participating in many collective lesson preparation activities, Zhou Chengli, a teacher at the School of Marxism at East China University of Technology, was deeply touched. "Cross-school collective lesson preparation has given me a deeper understanding and understanding of problem-based thematic teaching, and I have gained a lot." The classroom effect also surprised her, "the teaching method focusing on the core problems makes the students more interested, and the participation in teaching interaction is very positive, which is a very feasible teaching model." ”

"Before the class, the teacher threw out a question, which immediately captured my attraction, and the 'line' of the classroom ideas was tightly held in the teacher's hand." The feelings of Cheng Jinjie, a 2019 student at East China University of Technology, confirmed Zhou Chengli's point of view, "I was almost always highly concentrated and listened to the whole lesson with my ears open, for fear of missing a sentence and not being able to keep up with the rhythm." ”
