General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must make good use of the 'big ideological and political course'". The difference from "ideological and political courses" to "big ideological and political courses" is only one word on the surface, but in essence, it is a re-renewal of the concept of running ideological and political courses, a re-broadening of vision, and a re-expansion of the pattern. The Ministry of Education and other ten departments jointly issued the "Work Plan for Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of "Great Ideological and Political Courses", pointing out that "focusing on the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people, promoting the use of the party's innovative theories to cast the soul and educating people, continuously enhancing pertinence, improving effectiveness, and realizing the brain and heart", which pointed out the direction for making good use of the "Great Ideological and Political Courses" in the new era.
Respond to students' concerns and teach "theoretical lessons" well. Curriculum education should effectively improve the quality of the curriculum, focus on the "curriculum" attribute of the "big ideological and political course", and insist on making good use of the main channel of classroom teaching of ideological and political courses. At present, the teaching activities of ideological and political courses still lack diversity and flexible design to a certain extent, and the construction of "big ideological and political courses" should highlight the fundamental value pursuit of socialist education with Chinese characteristics, further strengthen the research on students' ideology, psychology and hot and difficult issues of concern, and formulate targeted teaching programs. Let students truly become the main body of learning, the main body of thinking, and the main body of harvest. Focus on giving students more choices for development, so that students can cultivate creativity in a variety of choices.
Integrate theory and practice, and do a good job in "practical lessons". Insufficient understanding and attention to practical teaching are important issues restricting the development of "big ideological and political courses". The practical teaching from the perspective of "big ideological and political courses" in the new era cannot be reduced to students' social practice, ignoring and guiding students to explore the educational value in the process of practice, and deviating from the educational goal of practical teaching of ideological and political courses. Nor can it be solidified into "task-based practical teaching" and complete the "prescribed actions" of the course, which leads to the practical teaching of ideological and political courses falling into the trap of patterned formalism. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium of teachers of ideological and political theory courses in schools: "We must adhere to the unity of theory and practice". Practical teaching is an inevitable requirement for the high-quality development of ideological and political courses. The "big ideological and political course" is a "walking" ideological and political course, and the practice link should be designed in accordance with the law of learning, and the practice link should be incorporated into the curriculum system, so as to enhance the weight of practice in education, and build a practical teaching that conforms to the scientificity, reflects the advanced nature, and highlights the nature of the times.
Make full use of social resources and do a good job in the "great lessons of the times". Insisting on opening the door to ideological and political education requires a broad vision, such as "new quality productivity", "future industry", "artificial intelligence +" and other content that is close to the pulse of the times and closely related to social reality, which are all important materials for ideological and political courses. If it is confined to one place and one corner of the campus, it is not conducive to transforming the advantages of social resources into the momentum of education. The "big ideological and political course" goes beyond the traditional "small theoretical classroom" and needs to be combined with the changes in the world, the times, and history, and use the power of reality to thoroughly explain the party's innovative theories. Further strengthen the awareness of problems, highlight the orientation of practice, and fully mobilize the forces and resources of the whole society for ideological and political courses in schools, ideological and political education in the curriculum, and daily ideological and political education activities. Combine the ideological and political classroom with the social classroom, insist on opening the door to run ideological and political classes, so that ideological and political courses can be closely integrated with reality, and truly resonate with the times.
Highlight the curriculum construction and integrate it into the whole process of "primary school-university" in three dimensions. Promote the high-quality development of the curriculum. Insist on digging the course content "deeply", insist on using academics to support politics and carry value with knowledge, and strive to work political guidance, academic interpretation and value shaping. Insist on extending the scope of the course to a "wide" range, break through the limitations of "professional vision" and "knowledge vision", make all kinds of courses and ideological and political courses go in the same direction, let professional courses show "ideological and political taste", and form a circle effect from "ideological and political courses" to "ideological and political courses". Make full use of resources such as the school archives, the school history museum and the alumni association, and combine the characteristics of students' grades to develop "iconic" ideological and political courses that highlight regional culture and school characteristics, and build a strong ideological and political course group.
Efforts should be made to explore the establishment of an integrated curriculum system that connects ideological and political courses with primary and secondary schools. Strengthen the research on teaching topics in primary and secondary schools, and gradually realize the vertical connection and layer-by-layer progression of school sections in accordance with the principle of gradual and spiral design of curriculum objectives. Give full play to the advantages of discipline resources of colleges and universities and the team of primary and secondary schools, support integrated teaching and research, compile education and teaching syllabus and teaching guides, vertically connect primary and secondary schools, strengthen the connection between various school sections, and truly realize the overall planning of "big ideological and political courses" in a game of chess.
Strengthen practical education, and embed a full experience of "theory and practice" in multiple fields. Coordinate the strength of the practice base of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" of the faculties and departments in the school. Integrate the elements of ideological and political education into practical teaching, and carry out social practice of ideological and political theory. Senior teachers are invited to guide and improve the practical teaching plan, young teachers participate in organizing student practice activities, promote the realization of the teaching mode of full participation of teachers and full coverage of students, explore the realization of a full-chain work system that can be recorded, evaluated, measured and presented, and guide students to write their papers on the land of the motherland. For example, Beijing colleges and universities combine the actual situation, scientifically refer to the demonstration teaching courses of the practice base, and tell the story of the 12345 citizen hotline service center in the practical teaching, highlighting the vivid practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in the land of Beijing. Following the 12345 Citizen Hotline Service Center, we organized students to go deep into the fields, enterprise workshops, scientific research bases and other places in the land of Jinghua to "step on the soil" and "smell the fireworks", leading students to exercise their skills in practice and transform the theoretical knowledge they have learned into learning, thinking and practice.
Expand the work pattern, and immerse the media in the all-round "in-class-extra-curricular" all-round. Make good use of digital technology to build a platform for curriculum construction. The advantages of digital education will be transformed into a powerful potential energy for the reform and development of ideological and political education, build a pattern of ideological and political education, and further promote the modernization of ideological and political education. Digital technology and ideological and political education and teaching have been deeply integrated, and ideological and political education platforms have been widely built to promote the joint construction and sharing of ideological and political education resources. In the new era, the "big ideological and political courses" should make full use of the network position, open up the space for ideological and political education, innovate the form of network propaganda, and continue to promote the transformation of the "biggest variable" of the network into the "maximum increment" of ideological and political education. Fully draw on the accumulation of front-line teaching process to make students easy to accept language styles and forms of expression, write a series of "micro-stories", realize the soft dissemination of hard theories, and promote the extension of in-class education to extra-curricular education. Combined with the characteristics of the school, a series of "micro-videos" were recorded to build a communication chain composed of students and their favorite teachers, well-known alumni, leading scholars, etc., so as to expand the radiation of educational works.
