What kind of people to cultivate, how to train people, and for whom to train people" is the fundamental question of education. The "three questions of education" in the new era are the "three questions of theory" for deepening the law of talent training, the "three questions of practice" for improving the quality of talent training, the "solid topic" of education for the party and the country, and the "eternal topic" of ideology and politics in colleges and universities. Dialectical thinking, as an ideological method and working method that runs through the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, provides an important guide for the ideological and political work of colleges and universities in the new era. Based on the viewpoint of linkage, development, comprehensiveness, and systematization, profoundly grasping the dialectical unity relationship of ideological and political work in colleges and universities, and grasping well the "crisis" and "opportunity" of the ideological and political work environment, the "simplification" and "complexity" of the ideological and political work system, the "change" and "transformation" of the main body of ideological and political work, and the "virtual" and "real" of the evaluation of ideological and political work, are the practical requirements for promoting ideological and political work by "adapting to events, advancing with the times, and making new according to the situation".
Grasp the "danger" and "opportunity" of the ideological and political work environment. Crisis and opportunity always coexist, we must accurately recognize changes, respond scientifically, and take the initiative to change. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the policy environment for ideological and political work has been continuously optimized, the status and role of ideological and political workers have become increasingly prominent, and doing a good job in ideological and political work has become the lifeline of all work of the school. At the same time, the situation in the social, ideological, cultural and ideological fields is becoming more and more complex, and the young students of the "Generation Z" who have grown up in the process of rapid development of information technology are showing more and more diverse ideological patterns. As the inspirers, leaders and demonstrators of young students' growth and success, ideological and political workers in colleges and universities should focus on the fundamental task of cultivating people with virtue, grasp the sacred mission of educating people for the party and the country, practice their internal skills, improve their ability to educate people, and continue to benchmark the overall requirements of "promoting the integrity and innovative development of ideological and political work in the new era" with a higher political position, a stronger theoretical level and a better working state, and be good at discovering problems. We should solve problems and take the greater era as an example to continuously enhance the contribution of ideological and political work to the growth and development of young students.
Grasp the "simple" and "complex" ideological and political work system. Ideological and political work in colleges and universities is a complex systems project, and we must adhere to the concept of systems. The ideological and political work system is composed of the subject, object, content, method, carrier, environment and other elements, the "three comprehensive education" is the operation logic of the education system, and the "ten education systems" is the implementation path of the education system, which provides the basic ideas that can be implemented and implemented for the improvement of the ideological and political work system in colleges and universities. The new requirements such as comprehensively promoting the construction of "big ideological and political courses" and accelerating the construction of a big ideological and political system have made the construction of the ideological and political work system more complex, the boundaries more extended, and the evolution more dynamic. Ideological and political workers, as the connectors between the elements of education and young students, should deeply examine the operation problems under the general direction, large system, and large structure, focus on the improvement of the governance level of ideological and political work in the new era, reflect on whether there are "vacancies" in the "whole staff", "whether there are "breakpoints" in the whole process, whether there are "blind spots" in all directions, and whether there are "blocking points" in the system, and develop ideological and political departments and departmental ideological and political departments, ideological and political disciplines and disciplines, ideological and political teachers and teachers, ideological and political subjects and main body ideological and political, Ideological and political activities and activities ideological and political, ideological and political networks and network ideological and political resources should improve the ability to promote system fit as a whole, factor coupling from the structure, content integration from the process, and effect aggregation from the goal.
Grasp the "change" and "transformation" of the main body of ideological and political work. "To be a confidant of young friends, an enthusiast for youth work, and a guide for young people. Attaching importance to young people, cultivating young people, and caring for young people should become the "youth outlook" of all ideological and political workers. According to "Chinese Youth in the New Era"**, young people "grow up in mutual shaping with the Internet". The vigorous development of the mobile Internet has reshaped the whole process of knowledge production, information distribution and cultural dissemination. Students of the networked generation, the modern generation, and the personalized generation tend to learn on their own, and their individual opinions are distinct. Teachers are the main force in traditional education and the supporting force in the digital era of education. Teachers should enhance their awareness of lifelong learning, improve the level of precise teaching, enhance the adaptability and innovation of education and teaching in the digital age and intelligent era, and promote the teacher-student relationship from a one-way relationship between teachers as the main body and students as objects to a two-way relationship of cooperation, sharing, mutual fit and mutual achievement, and the personal identity from "economic teacher" to "human teacher".
Grasp the evaluation of ideological and political work as "virtual" and "real". Educational evaluation is related to the direction of education development, and what kind of evaluation baton there is, what kind of school-running orientation there is. Evaluation is related to the direction of development, and in the process of shifting ideological and political work from the stage of laying a solid foundation to the stage of high-quality development, it is extremely important to reform and improve the evaluation system. Ideological and political work has the characteristics of retreat, concealment, and long-term effect, and realizes ideological guidance and value guidance through subtle methods, so there are also problems such as generalization, ambiguity, and subjectivity in evaluation to varying degrees. The "Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Educational Evaluation in the New Era" proposes to "improve outcome evaluation, strengthen process evaluation, explore value-added evaluation, and improve comprehensive evaluation", which provides a basic basis for the evaluation of ideological and political work. The evaluation of ideological and political work should be based on Marx's theory on the essence of human beings, focus on the all-round development of students, and pay attention to more pragmatic education indicators on the basis of giving full play to the advantages of existing evaluations. Employers give feedback on the sustainable development of students, put the evaluation in the broader context of the campus society, online and offline, and the present and the future, and promote the high-quality development of ideological and political work in colleges and universities in the new era with a more accurate and effective evaluation mechanism.
