The combination of theory and practice is the basic requirement and direction of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" in the new era. The theoretical essence of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" lies in the combination of textbooks and reality, and the unity of theory and practice, which is related to whether the "Great Ideological and Political Course" can be taught with temperature, strength and effectiveness. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly stated: "‘ Great ideological and political course ’ If we want to make good use of it, we must combine it with reality ",emphasizing that" ideological and political lessons should be taught not only in class, but also in social life ". We should thoroughly implement the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, promote the theory and practice of "big ideological and political course" to complement each other, promote the combination of "small ideological and political class" and "big social class", realize the unity of course theory and practice, and accelerate the opening up of a new situation of ideological and political course reform and innovation in the new era.
Make the ideological and political course attractive, tense and energetic.
As the main channel of Marxist theoretical education in colleges and universities, "Great Ideological and Political Course" needs theoretical knowledge to enhance students’ understanding of the socialist road, and also needs practical training to cultivate students’ firm and correct political direction. The theoretical knowledge and practical exercise of "Great Ideological and Political Course" complement each other and are indispensable. In the teaching of "Great Ideological and Political Course", there is no pure theoretical knowledge that does not come from practice, and there is no practical exercise that lacks value guidance and theoretical guidance. Only when the theory and practice of "Great Ideological and Political Course" complement each other can the knowledge of ideological and political textbooks be thoroughly explained and turned into students’ conscious thoughts and actions. Promoting the theory and practice of Dali Theory Course complement each other, which has the following three functions:
The ideological and political course is more energetic. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The situation at home and abroad and the tasks of the Party and the state are developing and changing rapidly. The teaching content of ideological and political courses should keep up with the times. Only by constantly preparing lessons and constantly talking about innovation can we achieve better teaching results." The great practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s modernization provides a social classroom for the "Great Ideological and Political Course", in which students can deeply experience the historic achievements and changes made by the Party and the country, such as the Party leading the people to complete the great historical task of getting rid of poverty in the new era and leading the people throughout the country in their immortal struggle against the COVID-19 epidemic. Vivid practice and vivid reality are magnificent and boundless, which contain the source of theory, the foundation of belief, the degree of right and wrong and the root of feelings, and are the vivid teaching materials for the teaching of "Great Ideological and Political Course". These vivid and vivid "ideological and political textbooks" inspire the enthusiasm and initiative of young people in the new era to build the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen their political stance and struggle confidence, and encourage young people in the new era to write life chapters in the vivid practice of realizing the Chinese dream.
The ideological and political course keeps the tension more. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Students will ask some sharp and sensitive questions in ideological and political classes, which often involve deep-seated theoretical and practical problems. It is not easy to make these questions clear and thorough." The construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course" needs to start from students’ concerns, focus on the goal of cultivating people by virtue, and respond effectively to students’ needs and concerns according to the unprecedented changes in the world, the overall development of the cause of the party and the country, and the vivid practice of the Communist Party of China (CPC) leading the people to govern the country, such as the dynamic follow-up teaching supply.
The ideological and political course is more charming. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Run the ideological and political course well … … Consciously integrate patriotism, ambition to strengthen the country and serve the country into the struggle to uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a socialist modernization power and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. " In the "Great Ideological and Political Course", the national political prosperity, economic and social events and people’s livelihood happiness are not only the distinct requirements of the "Great Ideological and Political Course", but also the outstanding features of the "Great Ideological and Political Course". The "great ideological and political course" is not the size of the classroom or the theoretical knowledge. No matter how large the class is, no matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it can’t be called big if it is placed between the vast world. We should regard the magnificent practice as an ideological and political classroom, so that students can feel the awe-inspiring righteousness between heaven and earth, let them take the initiative to feel the practice, explore the essence of things, grasp the law of development, and let the truths, principles and things that students have realized in practice be preserved after many years. Teachers of ideological and political courses should have a solid foundation, be flexible in various ways, respond to students with thorough theoretical analysis, and convince students with thorough ideological theory, so that students can be convinced and benefit for life. Only in this way can the ideological and political course become a "hot class" or even a "bursting class" full of charm.
Break through the barriers between "ideological and political classroom" and "social classroom"
In recent years, colleges and universities all over the country have actively opened up the way of combining theory and practice of "Great Ideological and Political Course", constantly breaking through the barriers between "Small Ideological and Political Class" and "Big Social Class", and explored the following important ways of combining theory and practice of "Great Ideological and Political Course":
The first is to strengthen the top-level design of the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course" and promote the combination of theory and practice. It is an inevitable requirement to promote the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course" to make concerted efforts by the party and government and strengthen the top-level design. As the first person in charge of the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course", the party secretary and president of colleges and universities need to take the lead in attending lectures and investigating, take the lead in promoting the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course", and establish and improve the working mechanism in which the academic affairs department and the teachers’ work department take the lead, the colleges (departments) are specifically responsible, and the publicity and personnel departments directly participate.
Marxist College and other relevant departments should integrate the ideological and political resources of the whole school, coordinate the work of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" in the school, combine the characteristics and advantages of the school, constantly update the teaching content, constantly innovate and improve the teaching methods, be good at adopting various teaching methods such as case teaching, inquiry teaching, experiential teaching, interactive teaching and focus teaching, and actively use modern information technology to make the ideological and political course alive.
The second is to promote the combination of theory and practice by means of social practice and other forms. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "all knowledge must be put into practice if it is to be transformed into ability. We must adhere to the unity of knowing and doing, pay attention to learning true knowledge and understanding the true meaning in practice, and strengthen our ability to hone and grow. " Social practice is just responding to this call, and it is an important way to transform theoretical knowledge into action practice. Guide students of different grades and stages to participate in practice and sharpen their growth. Through social practice, we can recognize the national conditions, increase our talents, exercise our perseverance and contribute to society.
Students turn what they think and learn into concrete actions through practical forms such as investigation of national conditions, social service, learning and preaching, aiding border education, and scientific research practice. It can not only understand the society in multiple dimensions, improve practical skills, but also solve some concrete and practical problems. At the same time, colleges and universities should encourage and fund practical members and even ideological and political teachers to give theoretical lectures at the grassroots level, advocate practical teams to hold discussions with staff of grassroots people’s governments, enhance students’ sense of social responsibility and historical mission, and effectively guide young students to be firm believers, active communicators and model practitioners of socialist core values. Through the organic combination of ideological and political courses and practical courses, students are guided to put their life ambitions into down-to-earth practical actions, and the specific goals of study and struggle are combined with the great goals of national rejuvenation.
The third is to promote the combination of theory and practice through various scientific research projects and competitions. The development and promotion of scientific research projects and competitions can purposefully promote the organic combination of theoretical knowledge and practical exercise. It is necessary to highlight the realistic orientation and problem orientation of scientific research projects and competition results, and to refine the practices and experiences in the process of promoting projects and competitions into theoretical knowledge. For example, the National Challenge Cup, internet plus Competition, "Creating Youth" Competition and Red Brigade Special Competition are important platforms for integrating the theory and practice of "Great Ideological and Political Course", and integrating ideological and political elements such as family feelings, public service, innovation and entrepreneurship will greatly improve the quality and effect of scientific research projects and competitions.
At the same time, by enriching the ideological and political content of scientific research projects and competitions, the concept of "Great Ideological and Political Course" is extended to many aspects such as project declaration, competition planning, activity design and achievement evaluation, so as to improve the effectiveness and appeal of ideological and political education and realize the organic unity of "scientific research ability improvement" and "value guidance". On the basis of fully understanding the characteristics of scientific research projects or competitions and related professional knowledge, we should dig out the points of combination with China’s excellent traditional culture, the major policies of the party and the state, and the socialist core values from the knowledge units closely related to scientific research activities and competitions. The team should be good at embodying and displaying the corresponding highlights of ideological and political elements, so as to make the integration process "flexible and vivid", which can not only enhance the realm of scientific research projects and competitions, but also enhance the practice of ideological and political education.
The fourth is to build a multi-dimensional evaluation system for the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course" and promote the combination of theory and practice. To build a multi-dimensional evaluation system for the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course", it is necessary to set up concrete and operable evaluation indicators, including curriculum construction planning, ideological and political ideas, teaching methods and teaching means reform, evaluation methods, teaching achievements and application promotion effects. To improve the quality and effect of the construction of "Great Ideological and Political Course", it is necessary to strengthen the process management of "Great Ideological and Political Course" and highlight the characteristics of regularization, institutionalization and standardization of the construction management of "Great Ideological and Political Course".
