As a college ideological and political teacher who has been teaching for nearly 30 years, Ms. Jiang Yan has always been strict with herself with the personality of a gentleman in the new era. She said: "Confucius discussed the path of the formation of a gentleman's personality in the Analects of Confucius: aspiration to the Tao, according to virtue, benevolence, and art, which is of great significance to contemporary college ideological and political teachers and college students. We should strive to cultivate a gentleman's personality, cultivate the core values of socialism, and imperceptibly guide students to develop in an all-round way. ”
OneAmbitionYes, there isFirm belief in Marxism
Teacher Jiang Yan emphasized that ideological and political courses in colleges and universities are the main channel and main position for ideological and political education for college students. In today's increasingly realistic and utilitarian society, teachers of ideological and political courses must be able to calm down, dare to sit on the cold bench, read the classics and original works conscientiously, and understand the truth that the roots are deep and the leaves are thick, and the abyss is deep and the fish is fat. Only in this way can we guard and stand firmly on the podium of ideological and political courses, tell Chinese stories well, cast souls and educate people, and build a dam of communist belief in the hearts of students.
IIAccording to YudeYes, there isHigh work ethic
The ancients said: It is easy to get a teacher, but it is rare to get a teacher.
In Jiang Yan's nearly 30-year coaching career, she has always kept in mind that "personality must be positive, and personality is attractive." Only by kissing his teacher can he believe in his way. It is necessary to have an upright personality, infect and win students with a noble personality, inspire students with the power of truth, win students with a profound foundation, consciously set an example for learning and being a person, and be a person who is loved by students. She is loyal to her duties, takes every class seriously, cares for every student, always adheres to the student-oriented, respects, understands, and cares for students. In April 2023, Jiang Yan won the honorary title of "Gentleman of the Times" at the school level.
IIIRely on benevolenceHave the basic qualities of charity
"University" has a saying: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Teacher Jiang Yan believes that the responsibility of the university is to provide talents with the spirit of great love to the society. As a teacher of ideological and political courses, we should achieve the word "benevolence". Since 2016, the quality of "boundless love and loyalty to the party" has been widely publicized, and the story of the nurse has gradually become well-known. In order to fully understand and make use of this valuable local red teaching resource, Ms. Jiang Yan participated in the "Care for Nurses" action initiated by the Propaganda Department of Rushan City, and successively visited Wang Yuezhi, Zheng Cuifeng, Chen Shuming, Wang Kuimin, Zhang Xiufen, Sun Shuying, as well as nursery worker Wang Zhanmei, and also visited two nurses Mao Xuejian and Wang Qinglin who stayed in Rushan, conducted in-depth interviews with them, and formed precious image records and text records. It provides valuable historical information for ideological and political teaching and the theme of Weihai City Lecture Hall, and plays an important role in cultivating students' qualities of love, selflessness, loyalty and trustworthiness.
FourthPlay in the artsIt is necessary to have excellent business quality
Teacher Jiang Yan believes that the teaching of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities is a very attractive creative activity, and the quality of teachers plays a key role in the teaching of ideological and political courses. First, it is necessary to have a broad knowledge base. From the perspective of the teaching tasks they undertake, teachers of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities should not only have a profound foundation in Marxism and solid professional knowledge, but also have extensive knowledge of humanities and social sciences. Second, it is necessary to have a high level of teaching art. The "power of truth, logic, art, and emotion" in the teaching content of ideological and political courses must be expressed through the teacher's classroom language, and the level of teachers' language expression plays an important role in college students' acceptance of Marxist theory and inspiring them to think.
In order to make the ideological and political course a serious and lively, rigorous and flexible high-quality course, Ms. Jiang Yan usually reads a large number of classic works and literature, integrates the knowledge, and then adopts an easy-to-understand way and flexible teaching methods to teach. Teacher Jiang Yan adheres to the working idea of "promoting reform through research and promoting teaching through reform", organically combines education and teaching reform with theoretical innovation research, and continuously summarizes and refines the experience of education reform through education and teaching reform, systematizes and scientificizes it, so that it can be upgraded to theory, and at the same time, theory in turn guides further teaching practice, so as to promote the continuous improvement of teaching quality.
In recent years, Ms. Jiang Yan has presided over and participated in many scientific research projects in combination with teaching work: 2019-2020 presided over the Shandong Provincial Social Science Planning Project "Research on the Inheritance Value of the Red Milk Niang Spirit in the Context of Jiaodong (Weihai) Party Spirit Education", and participated in the special project of Shandong Provincial Cultural and Art Scientific Research from 2021 to 2022 "Research on the Transmission Path of Traditional Culture from the New Perspective (Taking Weihai Regional Culture as an Example)". From 2022 to 2024, he presided over the Shandong Provincial Social Science Popularization and Application Research Project "Research on the Path of Integrating Jiaodong Milk Niang Culture into Vocational Colleges from the Perspective of One School and One Product", participated in the Shandong Humanities and Social Sciences Project "Research on the Inheritance and Development of Women's Red Gene in Jiaodong Youth Women's Team" in 2022-2024, and participated in the key project of art science in Shandong Province "Research on the Inheritance and Innovation of Shandong Traditional Folk Art from the Perspective of the Metaverse" in 2023-2024. From 2020 to 2022, he presided over the Weihai School Ideological and Political Teaching Reform Project "Research on Thematic Teaching of Higher Vocational Ideological and Political Courses from the Perspective of Core Literacy", which won the Weihai Excellent Education Reform Project. In September 2016, he won the second prize of the second ideological and political theory course teaching competition in colleges and universities in Shandong Province, and in 2022, the lecture "Centennial Party, Born to the Sun" was selected as an excellent educational resource for community education in Shandong Province.
Teacher Jiang Yan said that the profession of teacher is like a long-distance journey in life, the destination is "Tao", the means of transportation is "morality", the traffic rules are "benevolence", and the driving technique is "art". As an ideological and political teacher in colleges and universities, she will always keep her original intention, be rigorous in her studies, dedicate herself to dedication, move forward all the way, and contribute her greatest strength to the cultivation of qualified talents in the new era.
