Pertinence and effectiveness of teaching of ideological and political theory course has been a goal that higher vocational schools work hard to pursue but cannot be realized easily all the time. Being guided by the concept ‘combination of general education and professional education’, we may carry out innovation for teaching content, i.e., the combination that basic theory in textbooks will be retained and professional characteristic content will be expanded. Meanwhile, implement innovation for teaching process, i.e., relying on teaching content and combining cramming teaching and noncramming teaching. Besides, carry out innovation for construction of teaching staff, i.e., combining professionalization of knowledge about ideological and political theory with extension of specialized knowledge. By reform and innovation, pertinence and effectiveness of teaching of ideological and political theory course can be realized. Opinions on Enhancing and Improving College Students’ Ideological and Political Education Further issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposes we should work hard to improve teaching situation of ideological and political theory course in a few years obviously. This not only reflects the country pays much attention to teaching of ideological and political course but also shows teaching effect of ideological and political course is not ideal enough at present, the degree to which higher vocational college students accept and approve ideological and political course is not high or effect of ‘main channels’ has not exerted sufficiently. For this, the author combines his own practice about education and teaching and tries to put forward the teaching concept ‘combination of general education and professional education’, hoping to improve current status of ideological and political course teaching via innovation gradually, enhance attraction and influence of ideological and political course, drive effectiveness of teaching and make ideological and political course be a course that high vocational college students love sincerely, benefit all their life and remember perpetually. I. Carrying out innovation for teaching content of ideological and political course based on the concept ‘combination of general education and professional education’, i.e., the combination that basic theory in textbooks will be retained and professional characteristic content will be expanded Teaching content is source of life for ideological and political course. Ideological and political course can show vigorous vitality only when teaching content is designed scientifically and selected reasonably. Three ideological and political courses established by higher vocational schools, including Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Fundamentals of Law, Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Situation and Policy, are state-compiled textbooks with abundant content, wide coverage and perfect system. However, this does not mean teaching should be carried out according to content in textbooks completely. The situation that content in textbooks need be converted into teaching content has become a consensus. The key to problems lies in how to convert it reasonably to make students more willing to accept it 2014 International Conference on Economic Management and Social Science (EMSS 2014) © 2014. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 160 and realize teaching objectives of ideological and political course. The author deems that we should be guided by the concept ‘combination of general education and professional education’. ‘General education’ directs at all students and will retain basic theoretical content in textbooks, while ‘professional education’ aims at students from different majors and content extension reflects content with different professional features. Firstly, basic theory and spirit in textbooks must be kept. For instance, basic theory like Marxism, socialist ideology, socialist core value system, Reform and Opening-up, Scientific Outlook on Development, patriotism, ideal and faith, basic moral cultivation and legal accomplishment cannot be changed or deleted. The reason for this is shown as follows. On the one hand, although theory itself is abstract and boring, it is summarization and refinement of history and reality, which comes from practice and guides practice. ‘Classical theory itself contains endless charm. Textbook system about core courses of ideological and political theory reflects specific perspectives of theoretical research and content arrangement, contains basic content of Marxist theory, new progress in localization of Marxism in China, development road of modern China, the latest research achievements of socialist theory system with Chinese characteristics and basic requirements of political and social life for individuals’ ideology, morality and legal cultivation and shows features and level of research on Marxism in contemporary China’ [1]. On the other hand, this ensures students approve leadership of Chinese Communist Party and firms their demands for socialism with Chinese characteristics. Secondly, on the basis that basic theory is kept firm, design different teaching schemes and teaching emphasis and form individualized teaching content of specific majors or major groups according to different requirements for training of professional talents and in combination with students’ majors, industrial features and demands of career development in future. Extension of individualized teaching content should focus on selection of individualized teaching cases. For all students at higher vocational schools, basic theoretical knowledge of ideological and political course is the same. The key lies in which teaching cases should be selected to make students from different majors feel and approve ideological and political course in order that the teaching objective that students’ comprehensive quality is improved can be realized. This thesis takes the course Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Fundamentals of Law at Tianjin Vocational University where the author works for example, focuses on objective of employment-oriented talent training and combines with students’ professional needs. First of all, it integrates textbook content to form eight special subjects, as shown in Table 1. |
