Research On Ideological And Political Construction Of Science And Engineering Courses In Colleges And Universities

Science and engineering is a discipline of studying natural laws and engineering technology.The development level of science and engineering and the comprehensive quality of science and engineering talents largely affect a comprehensive national strength and international competitiveness of a country.Therefore,the training of science and engineering talents has become an important focus of national talent training and the key to the development of universities.The training of science and engineering talents,should not only advocate science,but also promote the humanities;not only to teach work,but also to teach life.Ideological and political education is an important means to improve the humanistic quality of science and technology college students and teach them to learn to be a good person.The professional courses of science and engineering in colleges and universities are an important position for cultivating science and engineering talents.Under the new situation of the fierce collision of various social ideological trends and the increasingly diversified value orientation of college students,taking the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses as the starting point,breaking the"parallel line" effect of disjointing professional courses and ideological and political education,maximizing the function of science and engineering professional courses in educating people,is conducive to comprehensively improving the quality of ideological and political education for science and engineering college students.Specifically,strengthen the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities is an urgent need to do a good job in ideological work in colleges and universities,is an important means to make up for the limitations of ideological education in ideological and political science classes,an inevitable requirement for the reform of science and engineering courses,and an important link in the comprehensive development of science and engineering college students.However,affected by professional attributes,curriculum characteristics,student characteristics and other factors,it is more difficult for science and engineering professional courses to carry out curriculum ideological and political construction,so it has become a "short board" in the construction of the ideological and political system of college and university courses.Summarizing the practice of ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in some colleges and universities in Shanghai,China University of Geosciences(Wuhan)and Shandong University,it is found that the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities has achieved certain results,and has accumulated beneficial experiences such as highlighting humanistic feelings,building characteristic brands,connecting ancient and modern China and foreign countries,innovating manners and methods,and paying attention to the leadership of famous person.However,after empirical investigation,it is learned that from the overall point of view,the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities still has the problems of identity to be deepened,the ability to be improved,the carrier to be improved,and the operating mechanism to be improved,which seriously restricts the further development of the ideological and political courses of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities.In order to smoothly promote the development of the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities and ensure their practical effectiveness and long-term effectiveness,in the process of construction,colleges and universities and related science and engineering colleges and teachers must first clarify and agree with the specific principles and basic requirements of the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses.The specific principles are the principle of moderation.the principle of organicity,the principle of synergy,and the principle of practicality,and the basic requirements are to conform to the thinking and cognitive characteristics of science and engineering students,to meet the objectives and requirements of science and engineering professional education,and to respect the joint force law of education and teaching activities.On the basis of following the above principles and requirements,colleges and universities should learn from useful experience,do a good job in systematic planning and top-level design,and start from five aspects:deepening the recognition of the ideological and political construction of the curriculum,building a professional teaching team,improving the participation of students.improving the carrier of ideological and political construction in the curriculum,and building a long-term operating mechanism for ideological and political construction in the curriculum,and comprehensively improving the effectiveness and long-term effectiveness of the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses.Deepening the recognition of science and engineering teachers and students in the ideological and political construction of the curriculum is the basis and premise for promoting the development of the ideological and political construction of the science and engineering curriculum,and colleges and universities can gradually broaden the ideological and political identification channels of the curriculum by strengthening the publicity of concepts,carrying out special activities,and creating demonstration courses.Science and engineering teachers are the implementers of the ideological and political construction of the curriculum,and improving the ideological and political theoretical literacy of science and engineering teachers and the ability of the ideological and political construction of the curriculum,and building a professional teaching team,is the direct driving force for improving the quality of the ideological and political construction of the science and engineering courses.Science and engineering students are another main body and direct beneficiary of the ideological and political construction of the curriculum,and strengthening their self-education awareness,paying attention to their ideological characteristics and practical needs,and improving the participation of science and engineering students in the ideological and political construction of the curriculum are effective strategies to ensure the effectiveness of the ideological and political construction of the science and engineering courses.Courses,classrooms and teaching materials are the three basic carriers of curriculum ideological and political construction,optimize the teaching design of professional courses,comprehensively use the two major classrooms,create a series of teaching materials for curriculum ideological and political construction,and comprehensively improve the quality of the three major carriers of curriculum ideological and political construction,which is an important means to strengthen the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities.Finally,improving the leadership mechanism of party committee leadership,academic affairs coordination,and college implementation,the coordination mechanism between science and engineering teachers as the main body and teachers of various subjects,the incentive mechanism with science and engineering teachers and students as the main body,and the evaluation mechanism with science and engineering teachers and students as the main body are the fundamental guarantees for ensuring the stability and long-term development of the ideological and political construction of science and engineering courses in colleges and universities.Among these four major mechanisms,improving the leadership mechanism of party committee leadership,academic affairs coordination.and college implementation is the top priority.Therefore,the leadership of colleges and universities must attach great importance to the ideological construction of science and engineering courses from the ideological point of view,and continue to exert efforts in the top-level design,combined with the requirements of the times,social reality,regional reality,and school reality to make the science and engineering courses ideological and political better and stronger,and make it distinctive.
