"text" To "the People" - The Ideological And Political Education Paradigm Shift Research

Based on the paradigm theory, aiming at the deficiencies of university ideological and political education, this dissertation tries to expatiate the development of university ideological and political education. The paradigm transformation presents the relationship of confrontation, interdependence and surpassing of the new educational paradigm with the old one in their process of development. By investigating the ideological and political education development from the angle of paradigm transformation, the educational theme, background, theoretical vision, historical and practical significance can all be demonstrated more clearly. Paradigm transformation of the ideological and political education is the reconstruction of ideological and political education philosophy essentially. The current paradigm transformation occurs between the text-oriented education and the human-oriented education, which means the transformation from "superior-orientation" and "book-orientation" to "human-orient". University ideological and political education paradigm forms the text-oriented paradigm with the characteristics of exclusion, knowledge-reliance, idealization, dogmatism and pan-politics, which leads to low efficiency and marginalization of university ideological and political education. It is urgent to turn to human-oriented educational paradigm with the characteristics of openness, emotion, subjectivity and life. This dissertation analyses the connotation of human-oriented educational paradigm and text-oriented educational paradigm and their influence on university ideological and political education, in order to seek the basic start to solve the problem of ideological and political education in the university and forecast its tendency. This dissertation brings forward the strategies to carry out the paradigm transformation and offers theoretical instruction and effective practical reference to develop the human-oriented education.According to dialectical materialism and historical materialism principle, from abstract to concrete thinking, the dissertation concentrates on the paradigm transformation of university ideological and political education with comparative method and criticism-construction method.
