How to Improve College Students' Learning Interest in Ideological and Political Theory Course

How to stimulate college students' interest in ideological and political courses. Because the ideological and political course in middle school still stays in the rigid teaching mode for the purpose of entering a higher school, even in college, it is difficult to get rid of the impression of "boring and old-fashioned" in students' hearts. Many students think that learning political lessons can only get some mechanized dogmas, which are useless in real life, and even think that these dogmas are contradictory to real life, thus greatly dampening the enthusiasm of college students in learning ideological and political lessons. How to teach ideological and political lessons well? In fact, successful teaching needs not compulsion, but interest. Therefore, in the process of ideological and political teaching, stimulating students' interest in learning is the key link to the success of teaching.

First, further strengthen the construction of ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities, and constantly improve their personal charm.

According to the survey of some colleges and universities, the ideological and political course is considered to be the most popular course for students and the least popular course for students. From this point of view, the key to doing a good job in ideological and political teaching is to see the teacher. The nature of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities determines that higher requirements are put forward for teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities.

(1) Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities should have perfect personality, firm belief and high sense of responsibility.

1. Teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities should have perfect personality.

The education and teaching of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities does have its professionalism, but it does not mean that the teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities are "mercenaries". Suhomlinski said: "Only personality can affect the development and adjustment of personality." As the guide of college students' life path, teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities can better teach students the way to be a man and solve the confusion of growth only if they have noble moral sentiments, rigorous academic attitude and perfect personality quality.

2. Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities should have firm beliefs.

Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Education's Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Ideological and Political Theory Teachers in Colleges and Universities clearly pointed out that "Ideological and Political Theory Teachers are an important force in colleges and universities". Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities shoulder the task of ideological education for students, and the firmness of teachers' own beliefs is directly related to the healthy growth of students. Therefore, the ideological and political course in colleges and universities can only be taught by teachers who really study, truly understand Marxism-Leninism, truly believe and firmly believe in Marxism-Leninism, and have ideals and beliefs, so that students can be truly infected and convinced. On the other hand, if the ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities are not firm in their own Marxist beliefs, or even have doubts about Marxism, they will lose the possibility of professional development. Therefore, as a teacher of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities, we should fully realize the value and significance of our work, and as a "propagandist of the party's theory, line, principles and policies", establish a firm belief in Marxism.

3. Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities should have a high sense of responsibility.

Some people say that teachers are the most glorious profession in the world, while others say that teachers are engineers of the human soul. However, with the continuous development of social economy, some teachers are facing a huge imbalance between spirit and material, and the contrast between high consumption and low income, which leads to confusion and huge psychological imbalance over time. As a result, they continued the unchanged teaching plan for several years and adopted simple or even rude education methods to teach, resulting in the consequences of "those who are close to ink are black, and those who are close to ink are black". For teachers, this year's students didn't teach well, so they can wait for the next class and start again. But for parents, children's education can't start all over again. Therefore, teachers must have a high sense of responsibility if they want to win the trust of their parents, win the praise of the society and better enhance their self-worth. Only in this way can they better help students shape the correct world outlook, outlook on life and values.

(B) Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities should have a profound theoretical foundation and strong affinity.

1. Teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities should have profound theoretical foundation.

Teaching ideological and political courses, in the final analysis, is to reason with students. How to convince people by reasoning? Fundamentally speaking, we should talk about its sense of history, reality and logic. Whether teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities can convince people by reasoning depends largely on their theoretical research. Teachers should not only be able to link boring articles with real life in class, but also be able to make students accept them gladly, which is the basic skill that every college ideological and political teacher should have. This requires teachers to have a solid theoretical foundation, a profound sense of history, a strong sense of reality and a strong logical ability. Only in this way can college students have a strong interest in ideological and political courses.

2. Ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities should have strong affinity.

Affinity is also a kind of personality charm. For example, in the teaching process, the communication with students should be amiable, so that students can feel close to teachers, which can better narrow the distance between teachers and students and produce an active classroom atmosphere; In daily life, we should also learn to appreciate students, be good at discovering their bright spots and praising them actively, and establish a harmonious relationship between teachers and students, so that teachers of ideological and political courses can truly become mentors and friends of college students, and ideological and political education and teaching in colleges and universities have strong affinity.

Second, in the teaching process, we should be good at changing teaching methods and means, improving teaching art and activating ideological and political classes.

Many college students are not interested in ideological and political courses, mainly because they feel boring and unattractive. Teaching is actually an art. Only by combining the teaching content of ideological and political course with the teaching forms that students like to see and hear perfectly can we enhance the charm of ideological and political course and stimulate students' interest in learning.

(A) the import should be vivid and fascinating.

As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle." Good lead-in can catch students' attention faster and stimulate their interest in learning better. For example, when I was talking about "ethics and law in professional activities", in order to enhance the appeal of teaching and create a relaxed and happy learning atmosphere, I combined the students' majors and played a video about frequent complaints from customers in 4S stores, so that students could watch and think: "What kind of moral qualities should employees have?" While introducing the contents of this lecture, it also stimulated students' enthusiasm for learning.

(2) Teaching should have rich language and vivid posture.

Plain and straightforward language tends to make the course tasteless and boring, and the teaching effect is low; On the contrary, lively language can stimulate students' interest in learning and achieve better teaching results. Teachers are not loudspeakers, but artists. They must adopt the essence of hundreds of languages and make use of people's languages. For example, when telling the story of a case, we should pay attention to the appropriate gesture language to enhance the appeal and persuasiveness of the incident; When describing characters, we should combine their characteristics with appropriate facial expressions and body language to enhance their vividness and interest, thus better distracting students from class.

(3) Be good at applying modern teaching methods to cultivate students' interest in learning.

The ideological and political course is rich in content and information. The traditional teaching mode with blackboard and chalk as teaching AIDS can't show the teaching content vividly. Only by the teacher's empty talk, students are easy to get tired of learning. With the continuous improvement of school conditions, multimedia technology has been gradually applied to the classroom. This technology can well integrate color, animation and stereo, and induce students to observe from multiple angles and directions. Make students get the impression of flesh and blood, full of emotion and both form and spirit; Let students grasp the inner world of characters more accurately, stimulate students' interest in learning, and give students experience happiness. Of course, it needs to be clear that multimedia technology is only an auxiliary teaching method, and we can't rely too much on it. The most important factors in the classroom are teachers and students.

(D) Ideological and political teaching should be combined with current affairs.

The application of current events in the teaching of ideological and political courses is conducive to integrating theory with practice and cultivating students' ability to analyze and solve problems. How to apply current affairs to ideological and political teaching? It mainly includes the following three steps:

1. Step 1: Prepare before class

Teachers arrange for students to collect recent and current affairs materials related to the teaching content before teaching. At this stage, teachers should determine the theme according to the teaching objectives, let students know their own tasks and division of labor, guide students to use newspapers, magazines or the Internet to extract materials, and guide students to apply current affairs to the classroom by using the methods of removing the rough and selecting the essence, removing the false and retaining the true.

Step 2: Classroom implementation

This is also a key link in teaching activities. Teachers can let students briefly comment on recent hot news or major events five minutes before the lecture, and teachers can guide students scientifically and accurately while listening to the lecture; Or combine hot people or events with the content of this lecture, and connect boring theory with real life to better attract students' attention and stimulate students' interest in learning.

3. Step 3: Teacher's summary?

Many students' statements and comments on current affairs have not been thought deeply, so teachers should summarize them in time. For example, some students have some prejudices and misunderstandings about corruption, and even question China's anti-corruption ability. Faced with this situation, teachers can't avoid it. While affirming the objective existence of this phenomenon, we should emphasize that it is only an individual phenomenon. The reason is not only the distortion of corrupt elements' personal world outlook, outlook on life and values, but also the lack of perfect institutional constraints in China, which can not guide students to establish a correct value orientation.

(5) Improve the flexibility and artistry of classroom questioning.

Teachers should pay attention to students' dominant position in the teaching process and design more interactive links with students, which is helpful to enliven the classroom atmosphere and stimulate students' learning enthusiasm.

1. First of all, the design problem should be enlightening and hierarchical.

Teachers can set some ingenious and unique questions according to the content of the textbook, but they should pay attention to the questions designed at the beginning and let more students participate before deepening the questions. For example, when telling students about "professional ethics", the first question is "What occupations do you know?" Then ask, "What kind of professional ethics should these occupations you just mentioned, such as doctors, teachers and civil servants, have?"? ? "Let the problems be interlocking and step by step.

2. Secondly, ask questions in an interesting and friendly way.

The language when asking questions should be lively and avoid the aggressive tone when asking questions. Give positive praise to the students who answered correctly; Students who answer wrong should be encouraged first and then corrected as much as possible, especially some students with poor psychological quality, and the tone of correction should be appropriately euphemistic. Create a relaxed and happy learning atmosphere for students and shorten the psychological distance between teachers and students.

(6) Set the end of class skillfully to stimulate students' self-study ability.

The summary part of the class should be clever and passionate. Teachers should be good at using refined language to help students grasp the center and focus of teaching; There should be suspense at the end to make students willing to explore and stimulate their interest in learning. For example, after summarizing the contents of the labor law, the question is raised: "Can the same employer and the same worker agree on multiple probation periods?" Guide students to find the relevant contents of the Labor Contract Law after class and answer questions, so as to cultivate students' self-study ability.

Three. Concluding remarks

For many years, teachers have been playing the role of indoctrinators in the teaching process. "Teachers talk, students listen silently", and students' subjectivity cannot be fully exerted. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to improving their own quality, at the same time, change old ideas, constantly update educational methods, liberate students from boring learning, mobilize their enthusiasm for learning and stimulate their interest in learning. Only in this way can we better improve the teaching effect of ideological and political course and make it a course that college students really love and benefit for life.
