Reflections on 习近平:思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程 [Xi Jinping: Ideological and political courses are the key courses to implement the fundamental task of Building a Moral Based Character (lì dé shù rén)]


习近平:思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程 

For some time I have been suggesting that education, and education policy, sits at the center of the realization of China's New Era transformation of Marxist-Leninist Theory in the emerging stage of Chinese historical development (e.g., here, here, here, here).  It was central to the way in which the situation in Hong Kong was understood (here, here; "The whole society should care about the healthy growth of young people and create a good, harmonious, stable and rule of law environment for the healthy growth of young people. The youth of Hong Kong are also young people of China. The youth of Hong Kong is the future of Hong Kong and the future of the country. The Central Government is always paying attention to the growth of young people in Hong Kong."  (Statement by the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council Official Views of Current State of Affairs in Hong Kong [国务院港澳办新闻发言人介绍对当前香港事态的看法]).


Education, then, might be understood as the core of the CPC Basic Line in the New Era. From this perspective, education ought not to be understood in its narrow sense of educating children in useful sciences and trades in the Western style.  Rather it is understood as an essential training for the all around construction of society shaped to better respond to the guidance of the CPC as it seeks to lead the nation toward the goal of establishing a communist society in China. But it is more than that.  Education implies a relation that is fundamental to Chinese emerging Leninism.  Education embraces the fundamental ordering notion of guidance ad leadership--from the present to future generations, from scholars to pupils, from those with knowledge to those seeking it, from the core of leadership to the masses.  Education is inherently not merely a task, but the embodiment of the political philosophy of New Era Leninism.  To focus on education is merely to acknowledge the central role of leadership--leadership f the young, leadership of the masses, leadership of the vanguard.  But it suggests as well the burdens of leadership--the burdens of imparting knowledge, of guidance, and of ensuring that the leader, the teacher, the guide, lives closer to the ideals taught than the pupil.  And that, of course, is still the hardest lesson for the Party itself to fully apply; the last paragraphs of the Preamble to the Chinese Communist Constitution serve as a testament both to this character of education as the core structuring relationship between vanguard and people, between levels of part leadership and the party masses, and between the core of leadership and the leadership group. Education, then, is the Leninist approach to both the structuring of the vanguard party, and to understanding its fundamental mission within a Marxist Leninist political order.

But there is more than a Chinese Leninist theory of politics involved.  The essence of this political project is the building a moral character (lì dé shù rén). Here, again, education is understood as more than the imparting of knowledge--that is its mechanics.  It is instead understood as the inculcation of values, the achievement of which is undertaken through specific tasks relating to the masses.  For the young, that focuses on schooling; for adults, perhaps, on the mechanics of social credit, and for the CPC, it focuses on the training and disciplining of cadres. The essence in each case is the same--to impart moral values--and moral values are understood to have a strong political dimension (or better put, expression).  The morality of Marxism (the Chinese still use the euphemism of "socialism", perhaps to distinguish the current stage of development from the communist ideal to be attained sometime in the future). The political dimension of morals is premised on the principle that morals are expressed as politics, as well as in the premise that the expression of politics is inherently a moral exercise. That mutually reinforcing binary acquires a specific form as it emerges from the core principles that define the primary duty of the vanguard to build the ideal moral (communist) society.  The New Era distillation of the Core Socialist Values in the 18th CPC Congress nicely expresses this intertwining--and the central role of the CPC as its authoritative mediator--as its magisterium of morals.  

These are the fundamental principles that are underlined by the most recent distribution of emerging New Era thinking under the authorship of Xi Jinping--as the core of leadership and as the representative of the collective leadership of the CPC which is itself an expression of the leadership obligation toward and for the masses. That essay, 思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程 [Ideological and political courses are the key courses to implement the fundamental task of Building a Moral Based Character ( lì dé shù rén)] (alternate link HERE)) was recently published in Qiushi the leading official intellectual organ of the CPC. It distills "the main part of General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the school's ideological and political theory teacher seminar on March 18, 2019."

The essay follows below in the original Chinese and a crude English translation, along with brief additional reflections.





Brief Reflections:

1.  The venue for  the exposition of moral-political values—that is for Leninist education—was carefully chosen.  The choice was important to avoid a contradiction—that of the still potent CPC line of “Emancipating and Mind” and “Opening Up.”  The later two, emphasized after the 1980s focused education on raising the value of labor to be consumed as part of the development of productive forces central to socialist modernization.  Education as a technical consumable was important for that project.  But Xi has a very different element of education in mind and thus the focus on ideological and political theory teachers.  But here the character of education differs.  One is not merely imparting knowledge that can be factored into production; one is shaping the masses under the guidance of the CPC.  More than that, one is, by the structures of education itself, naturalizing a Leninist sensibility about order, hierarchy, and the relationship of the masses to those who are responsible for their guidance.  “That is to say, the most important thing in youth education is to teach them the right thinking and guide them to take the right path. The ideological and political course is a key course to implement the fundamental task of "lide shunren" to cultivate people.”

 

2. Education  reveals the structure of Leninism as much as it teaches its ideological and normative elements.  Xi emphasizes, drawing on his own experiences, that

 

“The teaching of ideological and political courses involves Marxist philosophy, political economy, scientific socialism, economic, political, cultural, social, ecological civilization and party building, reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, governance of the party, country and military, and party History, national history, reform and opening-up history, and socialist development history involve world history, international communist movement history, world conditions, national conditions, party conditions, people’s conditions, etc.”

 

The complexity is daunting.  But then so is its dynamic character.  But that is the problem—Where error acquires a political dimension, teachers must be especially conservative.  But to be conservative means that only a fraction of these knowledge bases will be adequately taught.  More importantly, it opens the door to the expression of fear of error as the great lesson of ideological and political courses.  But an ideology grounded in fear of error will make it more difficult for  the CPC to undertake its critical work of naturalizing this theory within the fabric of Chinese society. That is the core difficulty that Xi alludes to in his discussion of the third issue, but it is a discussion that offers only a glimmer of the path forward for those who must be guided by the core leadership and who may not exercise with confidence the authoritative approach of the core leadership when imparting knowledge in a classroom.    

 

3. It is in this sense that this approach to education expresses Leninism as both political morality and as its own performance. And in the process it also exposes the core tension in the provision of education by a vanguard that must use education both to teach abstractions and to demonstrate its working in the structure and operation of the education system itself. This is made particularly clear  in the second paragraph of the remarks which starts with a legitimating invocation of ancient culture now re-imagined for the new era of Chinese historical development. “The ancients said: “Respect for education and persuasive learning is the foundation of building a nation; the development of talents and talents is the first priority of government.” Education is an important cornerstone of national rejuvenation and social progress.”

 

4. The elaboration of these core premises is the subject of the bulk of the essay. This is broken down into four issues, each considered in multiple subparts.

 

The first issue: Ideological and political theory courses are of great significance.

 

The second issue: The key to running ideological and political theory courses is teachers, and the key is to give full play to teachers' enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity

 

The third issue: Promote the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, and continuously enhance the ideological, theoretical, affinity and pertinence of ideological and political courses.

 

The fourth issue: Strengthen the party's leadership in the construction of ideological and political theory courses.

 

Together they reveal the structural importance of education, the focus of its content, as well as the key challenges that have yet to be overcome. Let us consider each in turn.

 

5. The first issue: Ideological and political theory courses are of great significance. Xi is at great pains to  flesh out the pedigree of ideological education from before the establishment of the People’s Republic.  Perhaps more importantly, he takes the trouble to connect it to the period of “Reform and Opening Up.” The object remains the same, to preserve “national ideological security.” That is the essence of the Leninist conception of education as the expression of the vanguard’s working objective with respect to the masses—to educate the masses is to comply with the core requirement of the mass line and the vanguard’s role in shaping society and guiding it toward its ultimate goal. The contemporary problem is one of focus and quality.  The Core Socialist Values are re-emphasized, as is the privileged role of moral education expressed through these socialist values.

 

For Westerners, the emphasis on including political-moral education in the curriculum of schools with a foreign element is not left in doubt. “The construction of ideological and political courses in private schools and Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools is still relatively weak; the synergy between various courses and the construction of ideological and political courses needs to be enhanced, teachers’ awareness and ability of teaching and educating people need to be improved, and schools, families, and society have coordinated to promote thinking.” One will expect that future efforts will be directed toward the inclusion of more robust Marxist and Leninist education in such institutions, and a greater sensitivity to the way that the values and approaches of liberal democratic orders are presented. This will be a shock to those great foreign institutions that have thought themselves the vanguard of the values they brought over with them.

 

Lastly, Xi urges greater confidence in the development of Marxist Leninism as both ideology and as the basis for the operation of the Chinese state.  He suggests that this confidence is a function of the construction of educational approaches that might better help students grasp the self-reflexive and complete  systemic qualities of New Era Marxist Leninism.  Yet it is the very failure of the leadership to produce a coherent version of that systemic quality, and its character, that lies at the heart of the problem.  No faculty member ought to dare to substitute her  own sense of that systemicity, and is likely to stay silent in the absence of a strong indication from the center of both a pedagogy and a content for the teaching and description of the systemic  character of New Era Marxist Leninism.  Is that possible to achieve—yes of course (whether or not one agrees). Even a foreigner might eb able to d that (e.g. here).  And yet what is required—given the Leninist nature of the system, is an authoritative pronouncement from the core of leadership—and certainly far more than what is offered in this speech. That has yet to be undertaken. And of course, even if completed, the hard work of aligning CPC practice with the authenticated expression of theory (beyond the condensed form of it in the Preamble to the Chinese Communist Party Constitution) has yet to be either internalized or used effectively in criticism-self-criticism (accountability) exercises at the level of theory. That is a pity.

 

6. The second issue: The key to running ideological and political theory courses is teachers, and the key is to give full play to teachers' enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity. Pedagogy and teacher training lies at the heart of the challenge of education.  That is clearly described by Xi.  But implied as well is the challenge of meeting the issue of teacher qualification where the fear of error in a theoretically dynamic context may impede the process of training itself. It is here that Xi offers some comfort.  But it might have been useful here to reaffirm Deng Xiaoping’s discussion of the difference between small and large error, the former an object of correction, the latter the object of rectification ("Emancipate the Mind, Seek Truth From Facts and Unite as One in Looking to the Future," Dec. 12, 1978 (“As it is only natural that some opinions expressed by the masses should be correct and others not, we should examine them analytically. The Party leadership should be good at synthesizing the correct opinions and explaining why the others are incorrect. . . No leading comrades at any level must ever place themselves in opposition to the masses. We must never abandon this principle. But of course we must not let down our guard against the handful of counter-revolutionaries who still exist in our country.” )).  Xi approaches this challenge from six points.  First he speaks to the need for teachers to have a strong faith in the politics and ideology they teach.  Second he stresses that this belief must be deep in the sense that a demonstrated passionate faith. Third, the method of instruction must be new in both the sense of pedagogy and in its engagement with the current CPC line. The door is opened, carefully, for comparative study, but always for the purpose of evidencing the position and approach of Chinese Marxist Leninism. Fourth he speaks to vision.  Again, the door is open, carefully, to theoretical knowledge of philosophy and the social sciences beyond the four corners of Marxist Leninism, but for the purpose of ensuring  a correct conclusion—“ They should not be closed and conservative, nor wooing foreigners. They should guide students to fully and objectively understand contemporary China and the outside world, and be good at discerning right from wrong in critical discrimination.” And yet without proper guidance teachers of good faith might see in this a trap best avoided entirely. Fifth, Xi speaks to self discipline. Teaching, in this sense, is a comprehensive calling that must be lived both within and outside the classroom—and to that end likely to be disciplined by a social credit system developed specifically to make that happen. This is explored more closely in the consideration of Xi’s fourth issue (“It is necessary to reform the evaluation mechanism of ideological and political teachers, increase the proportion of teaching and teaching research in the evaluation, overcome the shortcomings of only diplomas, papers, and hats, and guide ideological and political teachers to focus on teaching and educating people.”). Lastly, Xi speaks to the need to stress the positive elements of theory, ideology and politics.

 

7. The third issue: Promote the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, and continuously enhance the ideological, theoretical, affinity and pertinence of ideological and political courses. Xi offers here the ideal of ideology and politics wrapped within the reform and innovation that “are the spirit of the times.” Yet democratic centralism might inspire a certain caution by teachers to ensure that such innovation be carried out  in the appropriate venue—and it is unlikely that the appropriate venue for ideological innovation is the classroom. Of course, it becomes clear that the reform and innovation is to focus on methodology and pedagogy—not content. It is to that end that Xi offers suggestions for approaching the pedagogy of ideological and political classes. The object is to  make the absorption of materials more effective but in a way that centers the key premises of knowledge production within Leninist theory.  That requires a focus on what Xi calls the eight unities: (1) the unity of political and academic rationality;” (2) “the unity of values and knowledge;”; (3) “the unity of constructive and critical;” (4) “the unity of theory and practice;” (5) “the unity of convergence and diversity;”; (6) “the unity of dominance and subordination;” (7) “the unity of indoctrination and inspiration;”; and (8) “the unity of explicit and implicit education.”  These are likely the most profoundly important element of this essay—it lays out in concrete form the contradictions and tensions, the resolution or balancing of which, produce the structure of Leninist political organization. It serves as the Leninist framework for balancing values that permit a dynamic ability to confront and overcome challenges without  imploding the system.  But, like its counterpart ideology within liberal democratic states (the balancing of equities, constitutional balancing, margins of appreciation and the like), it creates the danger of error and of abuse.  

 

8. The fourth issue: Strengthen the party's leadership in the construction of ideological and political theory courses.  Xi does offer a way out of the contradictions natural to the Leninist ordering—at least a way out for teachers of ideological and political courses.  That way out lies in reliance on and working within the parameters of the leadership and guidance of the vanguard. Again, there is a replication in the relationship between teachers and the Party that mimics that between the state apparatus and the Party.  Teachers serve as the administrative manifestation of Party thought.  They serve as the application and expression of Party guidance, translating its objectives and instructions into concrete action. That is the inherent expression of Leninism within the construction of education itself. As Xi notes: “Teachers are the key to running ideological and political courses.” They serve not just the courses, but are important productive forces within the construction of ideologically and pragmatically coherent programs of instruction from the earliest level f education through to the highest level of post secondary education.  Coherence and systemic marks not just the scientism of Marxist Leninism, but its expression as education. And for this work, it is the core leadership of the Party that bears the greatest responsibility.

思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程
习近平
今天,我们在这里召开学校思想政治理论课教师座谈会。参加会议的主要是大中小学思政课一线教师。首先,我向在座各位老师,向全国大中小学思政课教师,致以诚挚的问候!
古人说:“敬教劝学,建国之大本;兴贤育才,为政之先务。”教育是民族振兴、社会进步的重要基石,是功在当代、利在千秋的德政工程,对提高人民综合素质、促进人的全面发展、增强中华民族创新创造活力、实现中华民族伟大复兴具有决定性意义。
青少年是祖国的未来、民族的希望。现在,我国各级各类学历教育在校生达到2.7亿,全国各类高等教育在学总规模达到3779万人。青少年阶段是人生的“拔节孕穗期”,这一时期心智逐渐健全,思维进入最活跃状态,最需要精心引导和栽培。“蒙以养正,圣功也。”就是说青少年教育最重要的是教给他们正确的思想,引导他们走正路。思政课是落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程,思政课作用不可替代,思政课教师队伍责任重大。
下面,我就几个问题讲点意见,同大家交流。
第一个问题:办好思想政治理论课意义重大
我们党历来高度重视思政课建设。在革命、建设、改革各个历史时期,我们党对思政课建设都作出过重要部署。新民主主义革命时期,我们党在红军大学、苏维埃大学、抗日军政大学、陕北公学等高校开设“党的建设”、“中国革命运动史”、“马列主义”、“辩证唯物主义”、“科学社会主义”等课程,在列宁小学开设“社会工作”课程,在解放区的小学、陕甘宁边区的中学开设“政治常识”课程。新中国成立后,我们党就把“中国革命常识”、“共同纲领”列入中学教学计划,在高校开设“中国革命史”、“马列主义基础”、“政治经济学”、“辩证唯物论与历史唯物论”等课程,强调中高等学校政治理论课的任务是用马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想武装青年,培养坚强的革命接班人。我上中学时,学的政治课本叫《做革命的接班人》,书上讲的“热爱生产劳动,艰苦奋斗,用自己的双手建设富强的社会主义祖国”,“立雄心壮志,做革命的接班人”等,影响了我们这一代人的理想信念和人生选择。改革开放以来,党中央先后出台10多个关于学校思想政治工作的文件,对思政课建设提出明确要求,不断推动思政课改革。

办好思政课,是我非常关心的一件事。党的十八大以来,党中央先后召开全国高校思想政治工作会议、全国教育大会,我就思政课建设多次讲过意见。我对教育工作在这方面强调得最多,教育工作别的方面我也强调,但思政课建设我必须更多强调。针对义务教育阶段中道德与法治、语文、历史三科教材建设,我提出要从维护国家意识形态安全、培养社会主义建设者和接班人的高度来抓好。我们培养人的目标是什么要搞清楚,现在非常明确坚定地提出要培养社会主义建设者和接班人。2014年,我在上海考察期间说过,培育和践行社会主义核心价值观要在落细落小落实上下功夫,特别是要抓好青少年等重点人群;在北京市海淀区民族小学考察时提出,学校要把德育放在更加重要的位置,努力做到每一堂课不仅传播知识、而且传授美德,让社会主义核心价值观的种子在学生们心中生根发芽。2016年,我在北京市八一学校考察时强调,基础教育是立德树人的事业,要旗帜鲜明加强思想政治教育、品德教育,加强社会主义核心价值观教育,引导学生自尊自信自立自强。在全国高校思想政治工作会议上,我强调思想政治理论课要坚持在改进中加强、在创新中提高,及时更新教学内容、丰富教学手段,不断改善课堂教学状况,防止形式化、表面化,等等。2018年五四前夕,我在北京大学专门考察了马克思主义学院。今年年初,我去南开大学时也强调了思政课建设。

当前形势下,办好思政课,要放在世界百年未有之大变局、党和国家事业发展全局中来看待,要从坚持和发展中国特色社会主义、建设社会主义现代化强国、实现中华民族伟大复兴的高度来对待。我们正在为实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标而努力。未来30年,我们培养的人要能够完成“两个一百年”的伟业。这就是教育的历史责任。我们党立志于中华民族千秋伟业,必须培养一代又一代拥护中国共产党领导和我国社会主义制度、立志为中国特色社会主义事业奋斗终身的有用人才。这就要求我们把下一代教育好、培养好,从学校抓起、从娃娃抓起。在大中小学循序渐进、螺旋上升地开设思政课非常必要,是培养一代又一代社会主义建设者和接班人的重要保障。人的成长、成熟、成才不是一蹴而就的,而是一个渐进的过程,就跟人的生理发育一样,所以要把这几个阶段都铺陈好。
“为学须先立志。志既立,则学问可次第着力。立志不定,终不济事。”要成为社会主义建设者和接班人,必须树立正确的世界观、人生观、价值观,把实现个人价值同党和国家前途命运紧紧联系在一起。随着我国日益扩大开放、日益走近世界舞台中央,我国同世界的联系更趋紧密、相互影响更趋深刻,意识形态领域面临的形势和斗争也更加复杂。学校是意识形态工作的前沿阵地,可不是一个象牙之塔,也不是一个桃花源。办好思政课,就是要开展马克思主义理论教育,用新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人,引导学生增强中国特色社会主义道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信,厚植爱国主义情怀,把爱国情、强国志、报国行自觉融入坚持和发展中国特色社会主义、建设社会主义现代化强国、实现中华民族伟大复兴的奋斗之中。
这些年来,思政课建设成效是显著的,教学方法不断创新,教师乐教善教、潜心育人,教师队伍规模和素质稳步提升,大中小学思政课一体化建设初显成效。同时,我们也要看到,思政课建设中的一些问题亟待解决。有的地方和学校对思政课重要性认识还不够到位;课堂教学效果还需要提升,教学研究力度需要加大、思路需要拓展;教材内容还不够鲜活,针对性、可读性、实效性有待增强;教师选配和培养工作还存在短板,队伍结构还要优化,整体素质还要提升;体制机制还有待完善,评价和支持体系有待健全,大中小学思政课一体化建设需要深化;民办学校、中外合作办学思政课建设还相对薄弱;各类课程同思政课建设的协同效应还有待增强,教师的教书育人意识和能力还有待提高,学校、家庭、社会协同推动思政课建设的合力没有完全形成,全党全社会关心支持思政课建设的氛围不够浓厚。
办好思政课,有不少问题需要解决,但最重要的是解决好信心问题。“欲人勿疑,必先自信。”思政课教师本身都不信,还怎么教学生?我们应该有信心办好思政课。党中央对教育工作高度重视,对思想政治工作、意识形态工作高度重视,始终坚持马克思主义指导地位,大力推进中国特色社会主义学科体系建设,为思政课建设提供了根本保证。我们对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律、人类社会发展规律的认识和把握不断深入,开辟了中国特色社会主义理论和实践发展新境界,中国特色社会主义取得举世瞩目的成就,为思政课建设提供了有力支撑。中国特色社会主义理论是一个体系,新时代中国特色社会主义思想就是在当前这个发展阶段中国共产党历史性提出来的。还有中华民族几千年来形成了博大精深的优秀传统文化,我们党带领人民在革命、建设、改革过程中锻造的革命文化和社会主义先进文化,为思政课建设提供了深厚力量。我们通过守正创新形成了中国特色社会主义理论体系,守正就不能偏离马克思主义、社会主义,但不是刻舟求剑,还要往前发展、与时俱进,否则就是僵化的、陈旧的、过时的。思政课建设长期以来形成的一系列规律性认识和成功经验,为思政课建设守正创新提供了重要基础。有了这些基础和条件,有了我们这支可信、可敬、可靠,乐为、敢为、有为的思政课教师队伍,我们完全有信心有能力把思政课办得越来越好。
办好思政课,最根本的是要全面贯彻党的教育方针,解决好培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人这个根本问题。新时代贯彻党的教育方针,要坚持马克思主义指导地位,贯彻新时代中国特色社会主义思想,坚持社会主义办学方向,落实立德树人的根本任务,坚持教育为人民服务、为中国共产党治国理政服务、为巩固和发展中国特色社会主义制度服务、为改革开放和社会主义现代化建设服务,扎根中国大地办教育,同生产劳动和社会实践相结合,加快推进教育现代化、建设教育强国、办好人民满意的教育,努力培养担当民族复兴大任的时代新人,培养德智体美劳全面发展的社会主义建设者和接班人。
第二个问题:办好思想政治理论课关键在教师,关键在发挥教师的积极性、主动性、创造性
讲好思政课不容易,因为这个课要求高。在浙江工作时,我给大学生讲过思政课,当时我要求浙江省委班子成员都到大学去讲课,而且都联系一所大学,我就联系浙大。我在福建工作时也去讲过。思政课教学涉及马克思主义哲学、政治经济学、科学社会主义,涉及经济、政治、文化、社会、生态文明和党的建设,涉及改革发展稳定、内政外交国防、治党治国治军,涉及党史、国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史,涉及世界史、国际共运史,涉及世情、国情、党情、民情,等等。这样的特殊性对教师综合素质要求很高。国内外形势、党和国家工作任务发展变化较快,思政课教学内容要跟上时代,只有不断备课、常讲常新才能取得较好教学效果。思政课上学生会提一些尖锐敏感的问题,往往涉及深层次理论和实践问题,把这些问题讲清楚讲透彻并不容易。我们这个国家是一个不断成长的国家,社会主义制度是在不断探索中完善的,现在确立了中国特色社会主义。同时,新中国成立70年、我们党成立90多年来,是在不断摸索中前进的,历经坎坷,也走了些弯路,也出现了像“十年浩劫”这样的情况。对这个问题的认识要把握住,像《国际歌》中唱的那样,我们党也不是神仙皇帝,在摸索中前进肯定会有失误,不要因为有这些失误就丧失对党的信念,动摇对我们所秉持的理想信念的坚定性。

“经师易求,人师难得。”教师承载着传播知识、传播思想、传播真理,塑造灵魂、塑造生命、塑造新人的时代重任。思政课教师,要给学生心灵埋下真善美的种子,引导学生扣好人生第一粒扣子。我在全国高校思想政治工作会议上说过,“讲思想政治理论课,要让信仰坚定、学识渊博、理论功底深厚的教师来讲,让学生真心喜爱、终身受益”。今天,我想进一步谈谈思政课教师素养的问题。

第一,政治要强。思政课要解决学生理想信念问题。要让有信仰的人讲信仰。对马克思主义的信仰,对社会主义和共产主义的信念,只有首先在思政课教师心中扎下根,才能在学生心中开花结果。思政课教师只有自己信仰坚定,对所讲内容高度认同,做学习和实践马克思主义的典范,才能讲得有底气,讲深讲透,才能有效引导学生真学、真懂、真信、真用。要善于从政治上看问题,自觉用新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装头脑,在大是大非面前保持政治清醒。教师是释疑解惑的,自己都疑惑重重,讲出来的东西不会是充分坚定、富有感染力的。
第二,情怀要深。思政课要引导学生立德成人、立志成才。只有打动学生,才能引导学生。教师在课堂上展现的情怀最能打动人,甚至会影响学生一生。真信才有真情,真情才能感染人。我为什么对焦裕禄那么一往情深,就是因为我在上初中一年级时,当时宣传焦裕禄的事迹,我的政治课老师在讲述焦裕禄的事迹时数度哽咽,一度讲不下去了,捂着眼睛抽泣,特别是讲到焦裕禄肝癌最严重时把藤椅给顶破了,我听了很受震撼。思政课教师要有家国情怀,心里装着国家和民族,在党和人民的伟大实践中关注时代、关注社会,汲取养分、丰富思想。要有传道情怀,对马克思主义理论教育事业投入真情实感,对思政课教育教学有执着追求。要有仁爱情怀,把对家国的爱、对教育的爱、对学生的爱融为一体,心中始终装着学生,让思政课成为一门有温度的课。
第三,思维要新。思政课要教会学生科学的思维。思政课教师给予学生的不应该只是一些抽象的概念,而应该是观察认识当代世界、当代中国的立场、观点、方法。思政课教学是一项非常有创造性的工作,要学会辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义,善于运用创新思维、辩证思维,善于运用矛盾分析方法抓住关键、找准重点、阐明规律,创新课堂教学,给学生深刻的学习体验。在教学中可以讨论问题,更要讲清楚成绩;可以批评不良社会现象,更要引导学生正面思考;可以讲社会主义建设的复杂性和艰巨性,更要引导学生对社会主义前景充满信心。无论怎么讲,最终都要落到引导学生树立正确的理想信念、学会正确的思维方法上来。
第四,视野要广。思政课教师要有知识视野,除了具有马克思主义理论功底之外,还要广泛涉猎其他哲学社会科学以及自然科学的知识。要有宽广的国际视野。学生经常会把国外的事情同国内的情况联系起来,这个过程就会产生一些疑惑。学生的疑惑就是思政课要讲清楚的重点。要善于利用国内外的事实、案例、素材,在比较中回答学生的疑惑,既不封闭保守,也不崇洋媚外,引导学生全面客观认识当代中国、看待外部世界,善于在批判鉴别中明辨是非。还要有历史视野。历史是最好的老师。思政课教师的历史视野中,要有5000多年中华文明史,要有500多年世界社会主义史,要有中国人民近代以来170多年斗争史,要有中国共产党近100年的奋斗史,要有中华人民共和国70年的发展史,要有改革开放40多年的实践史,要有新时代中国特色社会主义取得的历史性成就、发生的历史性变革,通过生动、深入、具体的纵横比较,把一些道理讲明白、讲清楚。
第五,自律要严。思政课教师对自己要求要严格,既要遵守教学纪律,也要遵守政治纪律和政治规矩,做到课上课下一致、网上网下一致,不能在课上讲得不错、却在课下乱讲,不能在现实生活中表现不错、却在网上乱说。思政课教师掌握着课堂的主导权和话语权,一定要自觉弘扬主旋律,积极传递正能量。遵守纪律,不意味着不能讲矛盾、碰问题。有的教师怵于思政课的意识形态属性,担心祸从口出,总是绕开问题讲、避开难点讲。只要坚持正确政治方向,立足于引导学生坚定理想信念,全面客观看问题,就不用担心在政治上出问题。要给教师充分的信任,不抓辫子、不扣帽子、不打棍子。
第六,人格要正。有人格,才有吸引力。亲其师,才能信其道。思政课教师要有堂堂正正的人格,用高尚的人格感染学生、赢得学生。要有学识魅力,用真理的力量感召学生,以深厚的理论功底赢得学生。思想要有境界,语言也要有魅力,从教师的话语中,学生能够感受到教师的人格和学识。要自觉做到修身修为,像曾子那样“吾日三省吾身”,像王阳明那样“诚意正心”、“知行合一”,自觉做为学为人的表率,做让学生喜爱的人。
第三个问题:推动思想政治理论课改革创新,不断增强思政课的思想性、理论性和亲和力、针对性
改革创新是时代精神,青少年是最活跃的群体,思政课建设要向改革创新要活力。如果做一天和尚撞一天钟,照本宣科、应付差事,那“到课率”、“抬头率”势必大打折扣。很多学校在思政课上积极采用案例式教学、探究式教学、体验式教学、互动式教学、专题式教学、分众式教学等,运用现代信息技术等手段建设智慧课堂等,取得了积极成效。这些都值得肯定和鼓励。推动思政课改革创新,要做到以下几个“统一”。
第一,坚持政治性和学理性相统一。政治引导是思政课的基本功能。强调思政课的政治引导功能,并不是要把课讲成简单的政治宣传,而要以透彻的学理分析回应学生,以彻底的思想理论说服学生,用真理的强大力量引导学生。马克思说:“理论只要彻底,就能说服人。”马克思主义理论就是彻底的理论。思政课教师所讲的理论、观点、结论要经得起学生各种“为什么”的追问,这样效果才能好。需要注意的是,不能用学理性弱化政治性,在大中小学的不同学段,无论是通过讲故事、讲历史还是讲理论的方式讲思政课,都要体现思政课的政治引导功能。
第二,坚持价值性和知识性相统一。思政课重在塑造学生的价值观,这一点必须牢牢抓住。强调思政课的价值性,不是要忽视知识性,而是要通过满足学生对知识的渴求加强价值观教育。只有空洞的价值观说教,没有科学的知识作支撑,价值观教育的效果也会大打折扣。当然,在思政课教学中也不能只强调知识性,不能为了应付考试让学生死记硬背知识点,而不注重对学生价值观的引导。学生有兴趣才会记忆,这种记忆是牢靠的,没有兴趣死记硬背就是死知识。知识是载体,价值是目的,要寓价值观引导于知识传授之中。比如,在讲授中国历史时,要注重引导学生传承民族气节、崇尚英雄气概,引导学生学习英雄、铭记英雄,自觉反对那些数典忘祖、妄自菲薄的历史虚无主义和文化虚无主义,自觉提升境界、涵养气概、激励担当。
第三,坚持建设性和批判性相统一。思政课的任务是传导主流意识形态,建设性是其根本。同时,彻底的批判精神是马克思主义本质特征,马克思主义就是在同各种错误思潮的不断斗争中开辟前进道路的。思政课要在传播马克思主义立场、观点、方法的基础上用好批判的武器,直面各种错误观点和思潮,旗帜鲜明进行剖析和批判。任何社会任何时期都会有各种问题存在,要教育引导学生正确看待、辩证认识、理性分析现实问题,辨明大是大非、真假黑白,在对社会假恶丑现象的批判中弘扬真善美。要坚持问题导向,学生关注的、有疑惑的问题其实也就几大类,要把这些问题掰开了、揉碎了,深入研究解答,把事实和道理一条条讲清楚。实际上,有时候不一定讲得那么高大全,从一个问题切入,把一个问题讲深,最后触类旁通,可以带动很多关联问题,有可能是一通百通,提纲挈领。要练就不怕问、怕不问、见问则喜的真本领,不能见学生提问就发怵。真理从来是在诘问和辩难中发展起来的,如果一问就问倒了,那就说明所讲的不是真理或者自己还没有掌握真理。
第四,坚持理论性和实践性相统一。思政课要用科学理论培养人,遵循不同学段学生的认知规律,把马克思主义基本原理讲清楚、讲透彻。同时,马克思主义是在实践中形成并不断发展的,要高度重视思政课的实践性,把思政小课堂同社会大课堂结合起来,在理论和实践的结合中,教育引导学生把人生抱负落实到脚踏实地的实际行动中来,把学习奋斗的具体目标同民族复兴的伟大目标结合起来,立鸿鹄志,做奋斗者。
第五,坚持统一性和多样性相统一。思政课的教学目标、课程设置、教材使用、教学管理等方面有统一要求,但具体落实要因地制宜、因时制宜、因材施教,结合实际把统一性要求落实好,鼓励探索不同方法和路径。思政课教师在教学中要把统编教材作为依据,确保教学的规范性、科学性、权威性,同时也不能简单照本宣科。教材给出的是教学的基本结论和简要论述,要让不同类型的学生都爱听爱学、听懂学会,需要做很多创造性工作。要在教学过程中进行多样化探索,通过多种方式实现教学目标。

第六,坚持主导性和主体性相统一。思政课教学离不开教师的主导,同时要坚持以学生为中心,加大对学生的认知规律和接受特点的研究,发挥学生主体性作用。一些思政课堂运用小组研学、情景展示、课题研讨、课堂辩论等方式教学,让学生来讲,这有利于发挥学生主体性作用。教师要做好画龙点睛工作,加强引导和总结提炼。要教育引导学生多读读马克思主义经典著作、当代中国马克思主义理论著作、中华优秀传统文化典籍等。要开出书单、指出重点,让学生正确理解经典著作,掌握马克思主义精髓,感知中华文化魅力,避免教条主义、本本主义,避免一知半解误读马克思主义。
第七,坚持灌输性和启发性相统一。灌输是马克思主义理论教育的基本方法。列宁说:“工人本来也不可能有社会民主主义的意识。这种意识只能从外面灌输进去。”让学生接受马克思主义,离不开必要的灌输,但这不等于搞填鸭式的“硬灌输”。要注重启发式教育,引导学生发现问题、分析问题、思考问题,在不断启发中让学生水到渠成得出结论。这里面,会讲故事、讲好故事十分重要,思政课就要讲好中华民族的故事、中国共产党的故事、中华人民共和国的故事、中国特色社会主义的故事、改革开放的故事,特别是要讲好新时代的故事。讲故事,不仅老师讲,而且要组织学生自己讲。
第八,坚持显性教育和隐性教育相统一。思政课要做思想政治教育的显性课程。有人提出把思政课变成隐性课程,完全融入其他人文素质课程中,这是不对的。我们办中国特色社会主义教育,就是要理直气壮开好思政课。同时,要挖掘其他课程和教学方式中蕴含的思想政治教育资源,实现全员全程全方位育人。既要有惊涛拍岸的声势,也要有润物无声的效果,这是教育之道。
以上这些,说的是只有打好组合拳,才能讲好思政课,但无论组合拳怎么打,最终要落到把思政课讲得更有亲和力和感染力、更有针对性和实效性上来,实现知、情、意、行的统一,叫人口服心服。
第四个问题:加强党对思想政治理论课建设的领导
办好中国的事情,关键在党。各级党委要把思政课建设摆上重要议程,抓住制约思政课建设的突出问题,在工作格局、队伍建设、支持保障等方面采取有效措施。要建立党委统一领导、党政齐抓共管、有关部门各负其责、全社会协同配合的工作格局,推动形成全党全社会努力办好思政课、教师认真讲好思政课、学生积极学好思政课的良好氛围。学校党委要坚持把从严管理和科学治理结合起来。学校党委书记、校长要带头走进课堂,带头推动思政课建设,带头联系思政课教师。现在,大学开学典礼、毕业典礼搞得很活跃,学校领导去讲讲话,引起社会上较大关注。这些讲话是办学方向和育人导向的重要体现,应该鲜明体现党的教育方针,积极传播马克思主义科学理论,弘扬社会主义核心价值观。但是,从现实情况看,有的讲话一般性的品德要求多,理想信念强调得少;个性化表达多,党的教育主张强调得少;同国际接轨讲得多,中国特色强调得少。这要引起重视。大学领导是教育者,但更应该是政治家。
办好思政课关键在教师。调动思政课教师的积极性、主动性、创造性,必须增强教师的职业认同感、荣誉感、责任感。必须旗帜鲜明讲清楚:讲好思政课不仅有“术”,也有“学”,更有“道”。思政课的政治性、思想性、学术性、专业性是紧密联系在一起的,其学术深度广度和学术含金量不亚于任何一门哲学社会科学!要配齐建强思政课专职教师队伍,建设专职为主、专兼结合、数量充足、素质优良的思政课教师队伍。在思政课教师选用、管理、考核中要严把政治关、师德关、业务关,解决好学风问题。要创新工作机制,加大培养和激励工作力度,落实各项政策保障,提高这个岗位对优秀人才的吸引力,让思政课教师特别是青年教师的创造活力竞相迸发、聪明才智充分涌流。要改革思政课教师评价机制,提高评价中的教学和教学研究占比,克服唯文凭、唯论文、唯帽子等弊端,引导思政课教师把主要精力放在教书育人上。一些学校口头上把思政课捧得很高,但落实不到教育、学术、人才评价机制上,有的跟国外机构设置的评价体系走,一切以在国外期刊上发表论文情况排次、定序、论英雄。思政课专业没办法在所谓国际期刊上发表论文,自然而然成为被价值评价体系排斥的对象,甚至有的学校的思想政治教育学院系都没有办法通过正常渠道进人、评职称,有的靠学校特批照顾。久而久之,有的地方形成了思想政治专业非学术、无学术等极为错误的观点和氛围,给一些思政课教师造成很大心理阴影,严重影响了他们的工作热情。要高度重视思政课教师队伍后备人才培养,加强马克思主义学院、马克思主义理论学科建设,统筹推进马克思主义理论本硕博一体化人才培养工作,不断为思政课教师队伍输送高水平人才。学校干部队伍建设要把思政课教师作为重要来源。教育部门要拿出切实可行的指导性意见。
要把统筹推进大中小学思政课一体化建设作为一项重要工程,坚持问题导向和目标导向相结合,坚持守正和创新相统一,推动思政课建设内涵式发展。要针对不同学段,根据思想政治理论教育规律和学生成长规律科学设置具体教学目标,抓好教学目标设计、课程设置、教材编写、教学改革、教师培养、考核评价等环节,既不能揠苗助长、操之过急,又不能刻舟求剑、故步自封。课程设置要相对稳定,坚持大中小学纵向主线贯穿、循序渐进,各类课程横向结构合理、功能互补的原则,确保教材的政治性、科学性、时代性、可读性。
学校思想政治工作不是单纯一条线的工作,而应该是全方位的。要完善课程体系,解决好各类课程和思政课相互配合的问题,鼓励教学名师到思政课堂上讲课,解决好推动其他教职员工和思政课教师相辅相成的问题,推动思想政治工作贯通人才培养体系,发挥融入式、嵌入式、渗入式的立德树人协同效应。思政课的学习效果和家长、家庭、家风的作用密切相关,要注重家校合作。民办学校、中外合作办学也要把思政课建设摆在重要位置,按照要求办好思政课,在这方面没有例外。各地区各部门负责同志要积极到学校去讲思政课,这是对马克思主义水平的一个考验。能不能讲好思政课,也是一个领导干部政治素质、理论水平、工作作风的体现。
中央教育工作领导小组要把思政课建设纳入重要议事日程。教育部、中宣部等部门要牵头抓思政课建设。相关部门要增强工作合力。思政课建设情况要纳入学校党的建设工作考核、办学质量和学科建设评估等,督促学校切实把这项工作抓起来、抓到位。

Xi Jinping

Today, we are here to hold a forum for teachers of ideological and political theory courses in schools. The main participants in the meeting were frontline teachers of ideological and political courses in universities, middle schools and primary schools. First of all, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to all the teachers present here, and to the teachers of ideological and political courses in universities across the country!

The ancients said: “Respect for education and persuasive learning is the foundation of building a nation; the development of talents and talents is the first priority of government.” Education is an important cornerstone of national rejuvenation and social progress. It is of decisive significance to integrate quality, promote the all-round development of people, enhance the creative vitality of the Chinese nation, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Teenagers are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. At present, the number of students enrolled in all levels of academic education in my country has reached 270 million, and the total enrollment of various types of higher education in the country has reached 37.79 million. The adolescent stage is the "joint booting stage" of life. During this period, the mind gradually becomes sound and the thinking enters the most active state, which requires meticulous guidance and cultivation. "Being nourished and righteous is also holy." That is to say, the most important thing in youth education is to teach them the right thinking and guide them to take the right path. The ideological and political course is a key course to implement the fundamental task of "lide shunren" to cultivate people. The role of the ideological and political course is irreplaceable, and the ideological and political course teacher team has a great responsibility.

Next, I would like to comment on a few issues and communicate with you.

The first issue: Ideological and political theory courses are of great significance.

Our party has always attached great importance to the construction of ideological and political courses. In the historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, our party has made important arrangements for the construction of ideological and political courses. During the New Democratic Revolution, our party opened "Party Building", "History of Chinese Revolutionary Movement", "Marxism-Leninism", "dialectical materialism", For courses such as "scientific socialism", "Social Work" courses are offered in Lenin Primary Schools, and "Political Common Sense" courses are offered in primary schools in the liberated areas and middle schools in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border area. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, our party included "Chinese Revolutionary Common Knowledge" and "Common Program" in the middle school teaching plan, and offered "Chinese Revolution History", "Marxist-Leninist Foundation", "Political Economics", and "Dialectical Materialism" in colleges and universities. Courses such as "and historical materialism" emphasize that the task of political theory courses in middle and high schools is to arm young people with Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, and train strong revolutionary successors. When I was in middle school, the political textbook I studied was called "Being the Successor of the Revolution." It said "Love production and labor, work hard, build a prosperous and strong socialist motherland with my own hands", "make ambitious and be a revolutionary Successors, etc., have affected the ideals, beliefs and life choices of our generation. Since the reform and opening up, the Party Central Committee has successively issued more than 10 documents on ideological and political work in schools, putting forward clear requirements for the construction of ideological and political courses, and continuously promoting the reform of ideological and political courses.


On March 18, 2019, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission hosted a seminar for teachers of the school's ideological and political theory in Beijing and delivered an important speech.

I am very concerned about running ideological and political classes. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has successively held the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities and the National Education Conference. I have spoken many times on the construction of ideological and political courses. I have emphasized the most on education in this aspect, and I have also emphasized other aspects of education, but I must emphasize more on the construction of ideological and political courses. Regarding the construction of teaching materials for the three subjects of morality and the rule of law, Chinese, and history in the compulsory education stage, I propose to do a good job from the perspective of safeguarding national ideological security and cultivating socialist builders and successors. We need to figure out what our goal of training people is, and now we are very clear and firm in proposing to train socialist builders and successors. In 2014, during my inspection in Shanghai, I said that cultivating and practicing the core values ​​of socialism must work hard to implement them, especially young people and other key groups. During the inspection of the ethnic primary school in Haidian District, Beijing, The school should put moral education in a more important position, and strive to not only spread knowledge, but also impart virtues in every class, so that the seeds of core socialist values ​​can take root in the hearts of students. In 2016, when I visited Bayi School in Beijing, I emphasized that basic education is a career that fosters morality. It is necessary to strengthen ideological and political education, moral education, strengthen education of socialist core values, and guide students to self-esteem, self-confidence, and become self-reliant. At the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities, I emphasized that the ideological and political theory courses should be strengthened in improvement and improved in innovation, updated teaching content in a timely manner, enriched teaching methods, and continuously improved classroom teaching conditions to prevent formalization and superficiality, etc. . On the eve of May 4th in 2018, I visited the School of Marxism at Peking University. At the beginning of this year, when I went to Nankai University, I also emphasized the construction of ideological and political courses.


On September 10, 2019, party and state leaders Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Wang Huning and others met at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to celebrate the 2019 Teacher's Day and the National Education System Advanced Collective and Advanced Individual Commendation Conference.

Under the current situation, a good ideological and political course must be viewed in the context of major changes in the world unseen in a century, and the overall development of the party and the country. It is necessary to maintain and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a modern socialist country, and realize the Chinese nation. To the height of the great revival. We are working hard to achieve the "two centenary" goals. In the next 30 years, the people we train must be able to accomplish the great cause of the "two centuries". This is the historical responsibility of education. Our party is determined to make great achievements for the Chinese nation and must cultivate useful talents who support the leadership of the Communist Party of China and my country's socialist system from generation to generation, and are determined to fight for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics for life. This requires us to educate and train the next generation well, starting from school and from infancy. It is very necessary to set up ideological and political courses in universities, middle schools and primary schools in a gradual and spiral manner. It is an important guarantee for cultivating generations of socialist builders and successors. Human growth, maturity, and success are not achieved overnight, but a gradual process, just like the physical development of human beings, so these stages must be laid out.

"You must first resolve to learn. If you have established aspirations, you can focus on learning first. If you are determined to be uncertain, you will not help." To become a socialist builder and successor, you must establish a correct world view, outlook on life, and values, and realize personal values. The future and destiny of the party and the country are closely linked. As our country expands and opens up and moves closer to the center of the world stage, our country's ties with the world have become closer and mutual influence has become more profound, and the situation and struggles facing the ideological field have become more complex. The school is the forefront of ideological work, not a tower of ivory, nor a peach blossom garden. To run ideological and political courses well, it is necessary to carry out Marxist theory education, to use the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics to educate people, and to guide students to strengthen their confidence in the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence, and cultural confidence, and cultivate patriotism. Feelings, consciously integrate patriotism, national aspirations, and serving the country into the struggle to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a modern and powerful socialist country, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

In recent years, the construction of ideological and political courses has achieved remarkable results. Teaching methods have continued to innovate. Teachers are willing to teach and teach with great concentration. The scale and quality of teachers have been steadily improved. At the same time, we must also see that some problems in the construction of ideological and political courses need to be solved urgently. Some places and schools are not fully aware of the importance of ideological and political courses; classroom teaching effects need to be improved, teaching research needs to be increased, and ideas need to be expanded; textbooks are not fresh enough, targeted, readable, and effective Needs to be strengthened; there are still shortcomings in the selection and training of teachers, the team structure needs to be optimized, and the overall quality needs to be improved; the institutional mechanism needs to be improved, the evaluation and support system needs to be improved, and the integrated construction of ideological and political courses in universities, middle schools and primary schools needs to be deepened ; The construction of ideological and political courses in private schools and Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools is still relatively weak; the synergy between various courses and the construction of ideological and political courses needs to be enhanced, teachers’ awareness and ability of teaching and educating people need to be improved, and schools, families, and society have coordinated to promote thinking. The joint force of the construction of political courses has not been fully formed, and the atmosphere of the whole party and the whole society is not strong enough to support the construction of ideological and political courses.

There are many problems that need to be solved in running ideological and political courses, but the most important thing is to solve the problem of confidence. "If you want to be suspicious, you must be confident first." Ideological and political teachers themselves don't believe it, how can they teach students? We should have confidence in running ideological and political courses. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to education, ideological and political work, and ideological work. It always adheres to the guiding position of Marxism and vigorously promotes the construction of the socialist discipline system with Chinese characteristics, which provides a fundamental guarantee for the construction of ideological and political courses. We have continuously deepened our understanding and grasp of the laws of the Communist Party’s governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of the development of human society, opening up a new realm for the development of theories and practices of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has achieved world-renowned achievements, which are the construction of ideological and political courses. Provide strong support. The theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a system, and the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era was historically put forward by the Communist Party of China at this stage of development. In addition, the Chinese nation has formed a broad and profound and excellent traditional culture for thousands of years. The revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture that our party has led the people to forge in the process of revolution, construction, and reform have provided profound strength for the construction of ideological and political courses. We have formed a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics through keeping upright and innovating. Keep uprightness cannot deviate from Marxism and socialism. However, we must advance and advance with the times, otherwise it will be rigid, obsolete, and outdated. A series of regular understandings and successful experiences formed in the construction of ideological and political courses for a long time provide an important foundation for the construction of ideological and political courses. With these foundations and conditions, with our credible, respectable, reliable, willing, courageous, and promising team of ideological and political teachers, we are fully confident and capable of doing more and more ideological and political courses. it is good.

The most fundamental thing in running ideological and political courses is to fully implement the party's educational policy and solve the fundamental problem of who to train, how to train, and for whom. To implement the party's educational policy in the new era, we must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, implement the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhere to the direction of socialist education, implement the fundamental task of cultivating morality and fostering people, and insist on education to serve the people and the Communist Party of China to govern the country. Government services, to consolidate and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, to serve reform and opening up, and socialist modernization, take root in China to run education, integrate with productive labor and social practice, accelerate the modernization of education, build a strong education country, and run it well Education that satisfies the people, strives to cultivate newcomers of the era who are responsible for national rejuvenation, and cultivates socialist builders and successors with comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, and artistic.

The second issue: The key to running ideological and political theory courses is teachers, and the key is to give full play to teachers' enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity

It is not easy to teach ideological and political courses, because this course is demanding. When I was working in Zhejiang, I taught ideological and political courses to college students. At that time, I asked all the members of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee to teach at a university, and they all contacted a university, so I contacted Zhejiang University. I also talked about it when I was working in Fujian. The teaching of ideological and political courses involves Marxist philosophy, political economy, scientific socialism, economic, political, cultural, social, ecological civilization and party building, reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, governance of the party, country and military, and party History, national history, reform and opening-up history, and socialist development history involve world history, international communist movement history, world conditions, national conditions, party conditions, people’s conditions, etc. This particularity has high requirements on the comprehensive quality of teachers. The situation at home and abroad and the tasks of the party and the country have developed rapidly. The teaching content of ideological and political courses must keep up with the times. Only by continuous preparation of lessons and regular lectures can we achieve better teaching results. In ideological and political classes, students will ask some sharp and sensitive questions, which often involve deep-level theoretical and practical issues. It is not easy to explain these issues clearly and thoroughly. Our country is a growing country. The socialist system has been perfected through continuous exploration. Now, socialism with Chinese characteristics has been established. At the same time, 70 years after the founding of New China and more than 90 years after the founding of our party, we have been advancing in constant exploration. After ups and downs, we have also taken some detours and situations like the "decade of catastrophe" have occurred. The understanding of this issue must be grasped. As sung in the "Internationale", our party is not a fairy emperor. There will definitely be mistakes in moving forward. Don't lose faith in the party because of these mistakes. The firmness of the ideals and beliefs upheld.

From July 15 to 16, 2019, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission visited Inner Mongolia and guided the development of the theme education of "Don't forget your original heart and remember your mission." It was the morning of the 16th. Xi Jinping had a cordial conversation with the students in the library of Inner Mongolia University, encouraging them to stay high, keep their feet on the ground, and work hard.

"Teachers are easy to find, and teachers are rare." Teachers carry the important task of the times of spreading knowledge, spreading ideas, spreading truth, shaping souls, shaping lives, and shaping newcomers. Ideological and political teachers should plant the seeds of truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of students, and guide them to buckle the first button in their lives. I said at the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities, "Teaching ideological and political theory classes should be taught by teachers with firm beliefs, knowledgeable, and profound theoretical foundations, so that students can truly love and benefit for life." Today, I want to talk more about the quality of teachers in ideological and political courses.

From October 22 to 25, 2018, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission visited Guangdong. This is the afternoon of October 24, when Xi Jinping was visiting Jinan University in Guangzhou to communicate with some compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese students.

First, politics must be strong. Ideological and political courses should solve the problem of students' ideals and beliefs. Let people of faith speak faith. Belief in Marxism, and belief in socialism and communism can only take root in the hearts of ideological and political teachers before it can blossom and bear fruit in the hearts of students. Ideological and political teachers must have a firm belief in their own beliefs, a high degree of identification with the content they are speaking, and be a model of learning and practicing Marxism, can they speak with confidence, speak in depth, and effectively guide students to learn, understand, believe and use . We must be good at looking at problems politically, consciously arm our minds with socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and maintain political sobriety in the face of big right and wrong. Teachers resolve doubts and doubts themselves, and what they say will not be sufficiently firm and contagious.

Second, the feelings must be deep. Ideological and political courses should guide students to be moral and determined to become talents. Only when students are impressed can they be guided. The feelings that teachers show in the classroom can move people the most, and even affect students' lives. Only true faith can have true affection, and true affection can infect people. Why I am so passionate about Jiao Yulu is because when I was in the first grade of junior high school, when I promoted Jiao Yulu’s deeds, my political teacher choked up several times when he was telling Jiao Yulu’s deeds. For a time, he couldn’t talk about it any more, so he covered his eyes and sobbed. Especially when it was mentioned that Jiao Yulu broke the wicker chair when he had the most serious liver cancer, I was shocked by it. Teachers of ideological and political courses must have the feelings of family and country, have the country and nation in their hearts, and pay attention to the times and society in the great practice of the party and the people, absorb nutrients and enrich their ideas. You must have a sense of preaching, have a real sense of the education of Marxist theory, and have a persistent pursuit of ideological and political education and teaching. There must be benevolent love, and the love for the country, the love for education, and the love for the students should be integrated, and the students should always be in the heart, so that the ideological and political course becomes a warm class.

Third, the thinking must be new. Ideological and political courses should teach students scientific thinking. Ideological and political teachers should not only give students some abstract concepts, but should observe and understand the positions, viewpoints and methods of the contemporary world and contemporary China. Ideological and political teaching is a very creative work. It is necessary to learn dialectical materialism and historical materialism, be good at using innovative thinking, dialectical thinking, and be good at using contradictory analysis methods to grasp the key, find the key points, clarify the law, and innovate classroom teaching , Give students a profound learning experience. In teaching, problems can be discussed, and achievements should be made clear; bad social phenomena can be criticized, and students should be guided to think positively; the complexity and arduousness of socialist construction can be talked about, and students should be more confident in the prospect of socialism. No matter how you say it, it will ultimately fall to guiding students to establish correct ideals and beliefs and learn correct thinking methods.

Fourth, have a broad vision. Teachers of ideological and political courses must have a vision of knowledge. In addition to having Marxist theoretical knowledge, they must also extensively study knowledge of other philosophy, social sciences and natural sciences. Have a broad international perspective. Students often associate foreign affairs with domestic situations, and this process will cause some doubts. Students’ doubts are the focus of ideological and political courses. We must be good at making use of domestic and foreign facts, cases, and materials to answer students’ doubts in comparison. They should not be closed and conservative, nor wooing foreigners. They should guide students to fully and objectively understand contemporary China and the outside world, and be good at discerning right from wrong in critical discrimination. There is also a historical perspective. History is the best teacher. In the historical vision of ideological and political teachers, there must be more than 5000 years of Chinese civilization history, more than 500 years of world socialism history, more than 170 years of struggle history of the Chinese people since modern times, and nearly 100 years of struggle history of the Chinese Communist Party. The 70-year history of the development of the People’s Republic of China must have a history of more than 40 years of practice in reform and opening up, as well as the historic achievements and historic changes that have taken place in socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Through vivid, in-depth, and concrete comparisons Some truths are explained clearly and clearly.

Fifth, strict self-discipline. Teachers of ideological and political courses must be strict with themselves. They must abide by teaching discipline, political discipline and political rules. They must be consistent in class and offline, online and offline, and they cannot speak well in class but chaos after class. Speaking, you can’t behave well in real life but talk nonsense on the Internet. Teachers of ideological and political courses have the dominant and discourse power in the classroom, and must consciously promote the main theme and actively convey positive energy. Observing discipline does not mean that you cannot talk about contradictions or encounter problems. Some teachers are worried about the ideological attributes of ideological and political courses, and they are worried that disaster will come out of their mouths. They always talk about problems and avoid difficulties. As long as we adhere to the correct political direction, based on guiding students to strengthen their ideals and beliefs, and look at problems from a comprehensive perspective, there is no need to worry about political problems. Give teachers full trust, don't grab braids, don't buckle hats, or hit sticks.

Sixth, the personality must be positive. People are attractive. Only with his own teacher can he believe in his way. Teachers of ideological and political courses must have upright personalities, and use noble personalities to infect and win students. You must have the charm of learning, use the power of truth to inspire students, and win students with a profound theoretical foundation. Thoughts must have realm, and language must be attractive. From the teacher's words, students can feel the teacher's personality and knowledge. It is necessary to consciously cultivate one's self-cultivation, like Zeng Zi's "three times to consider my body", like Wang Yangming's "sincerity and integrity", "knowledge and action", consciously set an example of learning to be a person, and be a person loved by students.

The third issue: Promote the reform and innovation of ideological and political theory courses, and continuously enhance the ideological, theoretical, affinity and pertinence of ideological and political courses

Reform and innovation are the spirit of the times, and young people are the most active group. The construction of ideological and political courses must be vigorous from reform and innovation. If you are a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, follow the script and deal with errands, then the "attendance rate" and "head-up rate" will be greatly reduced. Many schools actively adopt case-based teaching, inquiry-based teaching, experience-based teaching, interactive teaching, topic-based teaching, and focus-based teaching in ideological and political courses, and use modern information technology to build smart classrooms, which have achieved positive results. These are worthy of recognition and encouragement. To promote the reform and innovation of ideological and political courses, we must achieve the following "unification".

First, adhere to the unity of political and academic rationality. Political guidance is the basic function of ideological and political courses. Emphasizing the political guidance function of ideological and political courses is not to make the class a simple political propaganda, but to respond to students with thorough theoretical analysis, to persuade students with thorough ideological theory, and to guide students with the powerful force of truth. Marx said: "As long as the theory is thorough, it can convince people." Marxist theory is a thorough theory. The theories, viewpoints, and conclusions taught by ideological and political teachers must be able to withstand various "why" questions from students, so that the effect can be good. It should be noted that academic rationality cannot be used to weaken the political nature. In different stages of colleges, middle and elementary schools, whether it is through storytelling, history or theory to teach ideological and political courses, it must reflect the political guiding function of ideological and political courses. .

Second, insist on the unity of value and knowledge. Ideological and political courses focus on shaping students' values, which must be firmly grasped. Emphasizing the value of ideological and political courses is not to ignore knowledge, but to strengthen the education of values ​​by satisfying students' thirst for knowledge. Only empty values ​​preaching, without the support of scientific knowledge, the effect of values ​​education will be greatly reduced. Of course, in the teaching of ideological and political courses, we should not only emphasize knowledge, and we should not let students memorize knowledge points in order to cope with exams, and ignore the guidance of students' values. Students can only remember if they are interested. This kind of memory is reliable. If there is no interest in rote memorization, it is dead knowledge. Knowledge is the carrier, and value is the purpose. Values ​​must be guided by knowledge transfer. For example, when teaching Chinese history, we should pay attention to guiding students to inherit national integrity and advocating heroism, guide students to learn heroes, remember heroes, and consciously oppose historical nihilism and cultural nihilism that forget their ancestors and self-defeating ancestors. Encourage responsibility.

Third, insist on the unity of constructive and critical. The task of the ideological and political course is to transmit the mainstream ideology, and constructiveness is its foundation. At the same time, a thorough critical spirit is the essential characteristic of Marxism, and Marxism opens up a path of advancement in the constant struggle against various erroneous trends of thought. Ideological and political courses must use critical weapons on the basis of spreading Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods, face various erroneous views and trends of thought, and analyze and criticize with a clear-cut stand. There will be various problems in any society at any time. It is necessary to educate and guide students to correctly view, dialectically understand, and rationally analyze real problems, distinguish the big right and wrong, the truth from the black and the black, and promote the truth, the good and the beauty in the criticism of the false, evil and ugly phenomena in society. It is necessary to adhere to the problem orientation. The problems that students are concerned about and doubts are actually divided into several categories. These problems must be broken up and crushed, in-depth study and solutions, and the facts and truths should be explained clearly. In fact, sometimes it is not necessary to speak so comprehensively. Starting from a problem, discussing a problem in depth, and finally by analogy, it can lead to many related problems. It may be a comprehensive guide, outline and guide. To practice the true skills of not being afraid of asking, being afraid of not asking, and being happy when you ask, you will be frustrated if you can't see students asking questions. Truth has always been developed through cross-examination and debate. If you fail to ask, it means that what you are saying is not the truth or you have not grasped the truth.

Fourth, adhere to the unity of theory and practice. Ideological and political courses should use scientific theories to train people, follow the cognitive laws of students in different stages, and explain the basic principles of Marxism clearly and thoroughly. At the same time, Marxism is formed and continuously developed in practice. We must attach great importance to the practicality of ideological and political courses, and combine ideological and political classrooms with large social classrooms. In the combination of theory and practice, education and guidance of students to life ambitions Implement it in down-to-earth practical actions, combine the specific goals of learning and struggle with the great goal of national rejuvenation, and establish aspirations to struggle to knowledge.

Fifth, insist on the unity of convergence and diversity. Ideological and political courses have unified requirements in terms of teaching objectives, curriculum settings, use of teaching materials, and teaching management. However, the specific implementation should be adapted to local conditions, time conditions, and aptitude. The unified requirements are implemented in accordance with the actual situation, and the exploration of different methods and paths is encouraged. Teachers of ideological and political courses should use the unified teaching materials as the basis to ensure the standardization, scientificity, and authority of teaching. At the same time, they cannot simply follow the text. The textbooks give the basic conclusions and brief expositions of teaching. To make students of different types love to listen and learn, understand and learn, a lot of creative work needs to be done. It is necessary to carry out diversified explorations in the teaching process and achieve the teaching goals through a variety of methods.

On the morning of May 30, 2014, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission came to the Ethnic Primary School in Haidian District, Beijing to participate in the celebration of "June 1" International Children's Day. This is Xi Jinping's participation in the joining ceremony of the Young Pioneers. Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Tao/photo

Sixth, insist on the unity of dominance and subordination. The teaching of ideological and political courses is inseparable from the teacher's leadership. At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to the student-centered approach, increase the study of students' cognitive laws and acceptance characteristics, and give full play to the role of students. Some ideological and political classrooms use group research, scene display, topic discussion, classroom debate and other methods to teach students, which is conducive to giving full play to the role of students. Teachers should do the finishing touch, strengthen guidance and summary and refinement. It is necessary to educate and guide students to read more Marxist classics, contemporary Chinese Marxist theoretical works, Chinese excellent traditional cultural classics, etc. It is necessary to draw up a list of books and point out the key points, so that students can correctly understand the classics, master the essence of Marxism, perceive the charm of Chinese culture, avoid dogmatism, book-basedism, and avoid misunderstanding of Marxism.

Seventh, insist on the unity of indoctrination and inspiration. Indoctrination is the basic method of Marxist theoretical education. Lenin said: "It is impossible for workers to have social democratic consciousness. This kind of consciousness can only be instilled from the outside." To allow students to accept Marxism is inseparable from the necessary indoctrination, but this does not mean engaging in "cracking" instill". We must pay attention to heuristic education, guide students to discover, analyze, and think about problems, and allow students to draw conclusions automatically during continuous enlightenment. Here, it is very important to be able to tell stories and tell them well. Ideological and political classes must tell stories about the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China, the People’s Republic of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics, and reform and opening up, especially Tell the story of the new era. Tell stories, not only the teacher tells, but also organize the students to tell.

Eighth, adhere to the unity of explicit and implicit education. Ideological and political courses should be an explicit course of ideological and political education. Some people propose to turn ideological and political courses into hidden courses and fully integrate them into other humanities courses. This is wrong. When we run an education on socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must be honest and confident in teaching ideological and political courses. At the same time, it is necessary to tap the ideological and political education resources contained in other courses and teaching methods to realize all-round education for all employees. Not only must there be the momentum of the stormy waves hitting the shore, but also the effect of moisturizing things silently, this is the way of education.

All of the above mentioned that only the combination boxing can be taught well in the ideological and political class, but no matter how the combined boxing is played, it will eventually fall to the ideological and political class being more affinity and appealing, more targeted and effective. Coming up to achieve the unity of knowledge, affection, mind, and behavior is convincing.

The fourth issue: Strengthen the party's leadership in the construction of ideological and political theory courses

It's up to The communist party to do thing well in China. Party committees at all levels must put the construction of ideological and political courses on the important agenda, grasp the outstanding problems that restrict the construction of ideological and political courses, and take effective measures in terms of work pattern, team building, support and guarantee. It is necessary to establish a work pattern of unified leadership of the party committee, joint management of the party and government, relevant departments responsible for their own responsibility, and coordination of the whole society, and promote the formation of the whole party and the society to manage ideological and political courses, teachers earnestly teach ideological and political courses, and students are active A good atmosphere for learning ideological and political courses. The school party committee must insist on combining strict management with scientific governance. The school party committee secretary and principal should take the lead in entering the classroom, take the lead in promoting the construction of ideological and political courses, and take the lead in contacting ideological and political teachers. Now, university opening ceremonies and graduation ceremonies are very active, and school leaders give speeches, which arouses great attention from the society. These speeches are an important manifestation of the direction of running schools and the orientation of educating people. They should clearly reflect the party's educational policy, actively disseminate Marxist scientific theories, and promote socialist core values. However, judging from the actual situation, some speeches have more general moral requirements and less emphasis on ideals and beliefs; more individualized expressions, but less emphasis on the party's educational propositions; more talks about conformity with international standards, and less emphasis on Chinese characteristics. This requires attention. University leaders are educators, but they should be politicians.

Teachers are the key to running ideological and political courses. To mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of teachers of ideological and political courses, it is necessary to enhance teachers' sense of professional identity, sense of honor, and sense of responsibility. It must be clear and clear: teaching ideological and political courses not only has "techniques" but also "learning" and more "dao". The political, ideological, academic, and professional aspects of ideological and political courses are closely linked, and their academic depth, breadth and academic content are no less than any philosophy and social sciences! A team of full-time teachers of ideological and political courses should be equipped to build a team of full-time teachers with a sufficient number and excellent quality. In the selection, management, and assessment of ideological and political teachers, it is necessary to strictly control politics, teacher ethics, and business, and solve the problem of study style. It is necessary to innovate the working mechanism, increase the intensity of training and incentives, implement various policy guarantees, and increase the attractiveness of this post to outstanding talents, so that the creative vitality of ideological and political teachers, especially young teachers, will burst out and the wisdom and talents will flow fully. It is necessary to reform the evaluation mechanism of ideological and political teachers, increase the proportion of teaching and teaching research in the evaluation, overcome the shortcomings of only diplomas, papers, and hats, and guide ideological and political teachers to focus on teaching and educating people. Some schools have verbally praised ideological and political courses, but have not implemented the education, academic, and talent evaluation mechanisms. Some have followed the evaluation systems set up by foreign institutions. Everything is ranked and determined by the publication of papers in foreign journals. Preface, on heroes. Ideological and political courses are unable to publish papers in so-called international journals, and naturally become the object of rejection by the value evaluation system. Even the ideological and political education departments of some schools cannot enter people and evaluate professional titles through normal channels, and some rely on schools. Special care. Over time, in some places, extremely wrong views and atmospheres such as non-academic and non-academic ideological and political majors have formed, which has caused a great psychological shadow on some ideological and political teachers and seriously affected their enthusiasm for work. It is necessary to attach great importance to the training of reserve talents for ideological and political teachers, strengthen the construction of Marxist colleges and Marxist theory, coordinate the promotion of the training of Marxist theory, masters and doctoral integration, and continuously provide high-level talents for ideological and political teachers. The construction of school cadres should take ideological and political teachers as an important source. The education department should come up with practical and feasible guiding opinions.

It is necessary to coordinate the promotion of the integrated construction of ideological and political courses in universities, middle schools and primary schools as an important project, adhere to the combination of problem-oriented and goal-oriented, adhere to the integration of integrity and innovation, and promote the connotative development of the construction of ideological and political courses. Specific teaching goals should be set scientifically according to the laws of ideological and political theory education and the laws of student growth for different levels of education. The design of teaching goals, curriculum design, textbook compilation, teaching reform, teacher training, assessment and evaluation, etc. should be carried out scientifically. , And can't engrave a boat to seek a sword, and be complacent. Curriculum settings should be relatively stable, adhere to the principles of vertical main line penetration and gradual progress in universities, middle schools and primary schools, and the principles of reasonable horizontal structure and complementary functions of various courses to ensure the political, scientific, contemporary, and readable textbooks.

School ideological and political work is not just a one-line work, but should be all-round. It is necessary to improve the curriculum system, solve the problem of coordination between various courses and ideological and political courses, encourage famous teaching teachers to lecture in ideological and political classes, solve the problems that promote the complementarity of other faculty and ideological and political teachers, and promote ideological and political work through talents Cultivation system, play the synergistic effect of integrated, embedded and infiltrating Lide Shuren. The learning effect of ideological and political courses is closely related to the role of parents, family, and family style, and attention should be paid to home-school cooperation. Private schools and Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools should also put the construction of ideological and political courses in an important position, and run ideological and political courses in accordance with the requirements. There are no exceptions in this regard. Responsible comrades in all regions and departments should actively go to schools to teach ideological and political courses. This is a test of the level of Marxism. The ability to teach ideological and political courses well is also a manifestation of the political quality, theoretical level, and work style of a leading cadre.

The Central Education Work Leading Group must include the construction of ideological and political courses on its agenda. The Ministry of Education, the Central Propaganda Department and other departments should take the lead in the construction of ideological and political courses. Relevant departments should strengthen their work together. The construction of ideological and political courses should be included in the assessment of the school’s party building work, the quality of running a school, and the assessment of discipline construction, etc., to urge the school to earnestly grasp this work and grasp it in place.
