Late at night in spring, the theoretical study room of a certain regiment of the Rocket Force was brightly lit, and Ma Deshun, an outstanding political instructor of the regiment, was meticulously polishing his lesson plan. Tomorrow, he will give an educational lecture to professional and technical officers as a keynote speaker.
"This lecture is aimed at professionals in various fields, who have a high level of theory and a broad vision, and it is difficult to resonate if they do not work hard and prepare in advance." After a brief exchange with reporters, Ma Deshun turned his attention to teaching and preparing for classes.
"If war breaks out tomorrow, will our scientific research results be accurately applied to the battlefield?" In the class on the second day, Ma Deshun took the topic of "New Era and New Achievements of the Plateau Rocket Soldiers" as the theme, combined with his own experience to carry out exchanges and interactions with everyone, and the accurate teaching not only aroused the resonance of the officers and soldiers of the unit, but also made the comrades-in-arms of the brother units who came to listen to the lecture call "quenching their thirst".
It has been learned that the regiment shoulders a special mission and tasks, and the categories of officers and men vary greatly. To this end, they focused on improving the quality and efficiency of political education, integrating the political teaching team of the whole regiment, and deepening the educational cooperation of grassroots units, which not only realized the sharing of educational resources among different units, but also maximized the accurate drip irrigation of personnel at different levels, and further released the vitality of the classroom.
"In the past, when political education was organized, insufficient attention was paid to the actual situation of differences between positions and personnel in units, and the content of the lecturers could not effectively meet the needs of the participants." The leader of the regiment said that since last year, they have organized research, education, and education activities to improve the accuracy of education, and on this basis, they have distinguished officers and men at different levels in light of their military age, educational background, cognitive level, and professional characteristics. Before each large-scale course education, the political teachers of each unit will receive relevant topics based on their own expertise, set up the teaching content and carry out classroom design in a targeted manner. In this process, after accurately positioning the instructors and the attendees, they solved the problem of difficulty in adjusting the number of people in the education classroom through the instructors accurately teaching according to the individual and the officers and soldiers listening to and receiving lectures at different levels.
Before the lecture, Ma Deshun organized a symposium to understand the needs of the classroom, collect opinions and suggestions, and enrich the content of the education course in combination with major current affairs and hot spots. In the classroom, in view of the characteristics of the high level of academic qualifications of professional and technical officers, special activities such as "senior engineers talk about the original intention of enlistment" and "experts talk about growth" were specially planned; After class, give full play to everyone's advantages to organize discussions and exchanges around difficult problems in theoretical education, sort out and summarize "golden ideas", and provide reference for the next education teaching.
"In the past, political instructors needed to take into account the situation of the majority of people when they taught their lessons, and what they said was often far from what we actually needed." In the after-class exchange, assistant engineer Shang Ziyue talked about his previous experience of listening to the class, saying that after the implementation of the new classroom education model in the group, the "bull's-eye" gathered more accurately, and he and his colleagues felt very thirsty after listening to a class.
Talking about the changes in the education classroom, Fu Sitong, a college student soldier, also opened the conversation. He said that the traditional teaching method of "one class for the old and new, one pot for salty and light" is difficult to point to the ideological acupuncture points, and he has not gained much from listening to the lectures.
"Nowadays, every time I organize a big class education, I have expectations in my heart, thinking that I can gain new knowledge and new insights from the class." Fu Sitong told reporters. After the conclusion of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in March this year, the regiment carried out large-scale education around the spirit of the grand meeting, and he and all the conscripts were uniformly arranged to attend classes in a certain team. During the period, the instructors of the team explained the major policies of the country in simple terms with vivid language and vivid stories in view of the actual situation of the conscripts, combined with the examples of social and economic development changes in the station, and cooperated with the performance of the sitcom.
At the same time, the regiment also summed up experience in the light of practice, drew on television interviews and other program production methods, and introduced guest dialogues and on-the-spot interviews into the discussion of education classes to guide officers and men to participate in the education process. Platforms such as the Strong Army Network will be applied to the classroom to further enrich the teaching content and channels; Establish a system of inspection and supervision of education, and examine the deficiencies in the content of education, teaching methods, classroom design, and so on, in light of the opinions and suggestions put forward by officers and men in the course of centralized and hierarchical and cross-class classes, and make timely improvements and improvements.
The change in the mode of classroom organization has effectively increased the enthusiasm of officers and men to participate in education. Recently, the regiment organized a survey on job satisfaction, and the rate of praise of officers and men for the political education work has increased markedly compared with the past.
Said the witnesses
Such an educational class quenches thirst
First Class Sergeant Wu Zhaokuo of a certain regiment of the Rocket Army
"After listening to a lecture, I always feel that there is not much content related to me", "The instructor is attentive and the soldier listens carefully, but it rarely leaves a mark...... In the past, my comrades-in-arms and I had this feeling about political education classes. This situation has changed a lot since the introduction of the new mode of education in the regiment.
As the saying goes, the drum should be beaten to the point, and the flute should be blown to the eye. Every time I attend a large class, I hope to learn something new and acquire new information, but most of the time the instructors only teach basic content due to factors such as the large number of conscripts and junior sergeants. For a veteran like me, who has been in the military for a long time and has a solid foundation of professional skills, I always feel that my thirst is not quenched, so in many cases, I have not gained much from participating in education.
Later, all levels of the regiment realized this problem, conducted many investigations and discussions, solicited opinions, and tried to carry out political education in a new way, especially after comprehensively considering the specific situation of officers and men at all levels, and adopting the method of teaching instructors according to their individual needs and officers and men listening to and receiving lectures at different levels, thus effectively enhancing the pertinence of large-scale education. The more targeted it is, the greater its attraction to officers and men. Every time I heard that a big class education was going to be organized, my comrades-in-arms and I would ask privately: "Who is the teacher?" How will you teach? What interactive topics are set up...... "Compared with before, everyone has more expectations for the education class, and the teaching of the instructors has also resonated and thought for me many times.
At the beginning of April, the unit organized all officers and men to go to the martyrs' cemetery to remember the martyrs and express their sorrows. After the activity, the political instructors of a certain team gave a lecture to the soldiers above the rank of sergeant in the regiment with the theme of "Learning to inherit the spirit of martyrs and how veterans should set an example". In the class, the lecturer talked about the deeds of the ancestors and the history of the unit, and at the same time threw out specific questions to interact and discuss with everyone. After the class, my comrades-in-arms and I were not only educated and enlightened, but also reflected on our words and deeds during the discussion, and clarified what we should pay attention to and what we should do in the future, so as to be a good benchmark and set a good example for our young comrades-in-arms.
Recently, many political teachers are carefully preparing for large-scale education around the "Concept of Struggle in the New Era", and I was invited to participate in an education symposium last week, and put forward a few suggestions based on the needs of my comrades-in-arms. My comrades-in-arms and I are looking forward to what the next education class will be......

Front-line quick reviews
Beat the demand drum and close the thought beat
■ Plum hair
As we all know, due to factors such as personal living environment, growth area, age level, etc., everyone's food taste is very different. Therefore, a good chef will first consider the taste characteristics of the diners when cooking a meal. As a matter of fact, political instructors are like cooks cooking in an educational class, and every time they prepare and give lectures, they must proceed from the perspective of officers and men and consider the "tastes" and needs of officers and men, so that they can cook "delicacies" that satisfy everyone.
"The sound and rhythm are in harmony, and the eight tones are born." At present, officers and men come from a wide range of sources, have a large age gap, and have different experiences and understandings. In ideological and political education, it is necessary to conscientiously take the pulse of the officers and men, find out the starting point and the end result of the education and teaching from the actual situation of the officers and men, and conscientiously beat the drum of demand and close the ideological beat, so as to impress the officers and men, win recognition, and win applause. From this point of view, the practice of a certain regiment of the Rocket Force in comprehensively considering the characteristics of officers and men at the grass-roots level and carrying out hierarchical teaching and cross-listening with differentiated thinking is worthy of recognition.
Along with the changes in the characteristics of officers and men, political education should also change with them. To this end, educators should be able to advance with the times and adapt to the situation, fully understand and grasp the reality of officers and men through various means and channels, select educational materials, methods, and means in a targeted manner, and carry out education in a discourse system that is easily accepted by officers and men and in the form of content that they like to see, so as to ensure that the content and form of education coincide with the psychological needs of officers and men and match everyone's ideological reality to the greatest extent, and that they can match the ingredients and condiments well and grasp the nutrition and heat conditions like a chef, so that they can adapt to the tastes of officers and men and win the hearts of officers and men.
