The ideological and political education is the significant component and substantial content of our army's work of political thought. It is the key link to strengthen various buildings and complete various missions. It is the guarantee to unite the troops and improve their combat capacity. The education of ideological politics always has its traditional preponderance in the army. However, under the new situation, it is facing a lot of challenges. The traditional way of thinking, mechanism, substance, and means all cannot meet the demands of developing times. Therefore, as modern army officials, we should make bold creation.First, we need to learn the history of our army's innovation in ideological and political education. In the first part of the paper, with rich historical material and political attitudes, it looks back and analyzes carefully the process of creative development in our army's ideological and political education, especially, the circumstances after the 3rd Plenary Session of the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of China. From then till now, it can be divided into three phrases: 1) 1978 till 1981, a phrase to turn a new page, primarily completing the process from turmoil to normalization; 2) 1982 till 1992, the phrase to make new goals, mainly stipulating substance and developing direction; 3) 1992 till now, a phrase of confronting with new challenges, chiefly filled our army with vigor and vitality of ideological and politics education.For innovation, we should know clearly the new challenges we will face in ideological and political education of the army. In the second part of the paper, challenges of ideological and political education on the five aspects are mentioned. 1) The diversification of social values increases the complexity of the education. 2) The secularization of social development decreases the sacredness of education. 3) The harmful social mood of human beings cuts down the validity of the education. 4) The medium popularization gets rid of the mystical quality of the education.For innovation, we should make a breakthrough on educationalviewpoint of ideology and politics. The third part of the paper fully expresses that viewpoint creation is the prerequisite of the innovation in ideological and political education. It advocates for an open view of education through idea liberation, for equality between instructors and instructed soldiers through intensifying the building of political civilization, and for a developing view of education with the pace of times.For innovation, we should put emphasis on the mechanism and substance of ideological and political education in the army. It is thought in the fourth part that mechanism and substance are the priorities of creation, and some bold explores have been made or discussed: 1) to build organizable leading mechanism with the connection of unity and division in order to guarantee the content systemization; 2) to build educational mechanism facing the social reality for the purpose of keeping its content hot pots; 3) to construct the network of educational mechanism according to times' demand therefore to ensure the content informational; 4) to build human-oriented educational mechanism through taking care of individuals so as to make the content with multible levels.For innovation, we should further improve the forms and methods in ideological and political education of the army. In Part Five, the paper poses that the methods and means are the support to innovation, and that flexible and diversified forms and methods must be taken according to different substance. Among them, class education, as a main form, should connect closely with other means of education; conscious education may integrate with unconscious education; at the mean time, the evaluation of effect can be changeable in the education of ideology and politics.
