The “Walking” Ideological-Political Course, “New in Form” and “Sincere in Heart”

“行走”的思政课,“走新”又“走心”

· Ideological & Political Education · Guangming Daily Research Group, group members: Zhang Jian, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Marxism, Yunnan Normal University, and Lecturer Fu Ziwen; our correspondents Liu Huadong and Xu Xinyu · Guangming Daily (5th edition, 20 January 2025) · 17 min read

“The shame of a thousand years shall at last be avenged. The cause of revival awaits its talents…” Under the warm winter sun, at the former site of the National Southwestern Associated University in Kunming, Yunnan, the old school buildings stood silent, the martyrs’ cenotaphs and monuments lay voiceless. Teachers and students from Yunnan Engineering Vocational College, who had come to participate in a practical teaching activity for the ideological-political course, turned their profound remembrance and lofty reverence into a loud chorus of the National Southwestern Associated University’s school song, *Man Jiang Hong*.

“千秋耻,终当雪。中兴业,须人杰……”冬日暖阳里,云南昆明的西南联大旧址,曾经的校舍静默不语,革命烈士的衣冠冢、纪念碑沉寂无言,来此参加思政课实践教学活动的云南工程职业学院师生,将他们的深切缅怀和崇高敬意,化作西南联大校歌《满江红》的高声合唱。

“As long as I can still walk, I will patrol the border, and I will also polish the boundary markers and paint them red!” Gejie Village in Jinping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, lies right next to the border line. Before representatives of ideological-political course teachers from primary, secondary, and tertiary schools across Honghe Prefecture, village Party secretary Pu Yuzhong, who has guarded the boundary markers and patrolled the border for over a decade, spoke with resounding conviction! At this collective lesson-preparation meeting for the ideological-political course that “walks the national border,” Pu Yuzhong’s vivid experiences in guarding, stabilizing, and revitalizing the border provided fuel and recharged the batteries for the classroom preparations of each ideological-political course teacher.

“只要我还走得动,我就要去巡边,还要擦界碑、涂红漆!”云南省红河州金平县隔界村紧挨着边境线。红河州大中小学思政课教师代表面前,护碑、巡边十几年的村支书普玉忠话语铿锵!在这场行走国门的思政课集体备课会上,普玉忠守边固边兴边的生动经历,为各思政课老师的课堂备课加了油、充了电。

“Happiness blossoms, pomegranate red; seeds of unity nurture the new generation.” In the early morning, the flow of people before the gate of the Primary School Affiliated to Kunming University of Science and Technology was unceasing. Principal Shi Mengyuan, together with the school’s mascots “Liu Xiaoxing” and “Liu Xiaofu,” opened their arms to welcome the arriving children. “Life is like writing characters; we must lead the children to write every stroke of ethnic unity and progress well. We place the mascots symbolizing the unity of all ethnic groups as one family at the gate precisely to plant a seed of the sense of community for the Chinese nation in every student.”

“幸福花开石榴红,籽籽同心育新人。”清晨,昆明理工大学附属小学门前人流不息,校长石梦媛和学校的吉祥物“榴小幸”“榴小福”一起,张开怀抱迎接着孩子们的到来,“人生如字,要带孩子们写好民族团结进步的每一笔,我们把象征民族团结一家亲的吉祥物放在门口,就是要给每一位学生种下中华民族共同体意识的一颗种子。”

In January 2020, during an inspection and research visit to the former site of the National Southwestern Associated University, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that education is closely linked to the future and destiny of the nation. The purpose of our education is to cultivate builders and successors for socialism. We must adhere to the correct direction in running schools, implement the Party’s educational policy, strengthen the construction of a high-quality teaching force, cultivate new generations of the era with a sense of history and responsibility and lofty aspirations, and provide strong talent support for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

2020年1月,习近平总书记来到国立西南联合大学旧址考察调研时强调,教育同国家前途命运紧密相连。我们教育的目的就是培养社会主义建设者和接班人。要坚持正确办学方向,落实党的教育方针,加强高素质教师队伍建设,培养有历史感责任感、志存高远的时代新人,为实现中华民族伟大复兴提供有力人才支撑。

Over the past five years, Yunnan Province has kept the earnest instructions firmly in mind. Various localities, departments, and schools have actively promoted the reform and innovation of ideological-political courses. The conviction and actions of the vast number of young students to listen to the Party and follow the Party have become more conscious. Recently, a research team from *Guangming Daily* went deep into primary, secondary, and tertiary schools across Yunnan to explore the good practices and successful experiences formed in the practice of ideological-political education on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, to see how various places in Yunnan continuously enhance the appeal and感染力 of ideological-political courses, guide students to fasten the first button of their lives, and make ideological-political courses “golden courses” that students truly love and benefit from for life.

五年来,云南省牢记殷殷嘱托,各地各部门各学校积极推动思政课改革创新,广大青少年学生听党话、跟党走的信念和行动更加自觉。日前,光明日报调研组一行深入云南各地大中小学,探寻云岭大地思政教育实践中形成的好做法好经验,看云南各地如何不断增强思政课的吸引力、感染力,引导学生扣好人生第一粒扣子,让思政课成为学生真心喜爱、终身受益的“金课”。

The Unity of Knowledge and Action: Ideological-Political Courses “Visible” and “Listenable”

知与行合一:思政课“看得见”“听得进”

How can a single ideological-political course truly move students?

一节思政课怎么才能真正打动学生?

“‘The walking ideological-political course’ — I Come from the National Southwestern Associated University” is an innovation and attempt by Yunnan Normal University based on fully excavating the spirit of the National Southwestern Associated University. “The classroom teaching format is lively and vivid, allowing the ideological-political course to step out of the classroom and into history, enabling students to cultivate their patriotic sentiments deeply in the unity of knowledge and action.” Li Hongying, curator of the National Southwestern Associated University Museum, told the research team.

“‘行走的思政课’——我从西南联大来”是云南师范大学在充分挖掘西南联大精神基础上的创新和尝试。课堂教学形式生动活泼,让思政课走出教室、走进历史,让学生们在知行合一中厚植爱国主义情怀。”西南联大博物馆馆长李红英告诉调研组。

“Classmates, guess what the teachers were most ‘afraid’ of during class back then?” Standing in front of the low, crude classroom at the former site of the National Southwestern Associated University on the 12/1 Campus of Yunnan Normal University, Li Hongying posed a question to the students on the study tour.

“同学们猜一猜,当时老师上课最‘怕’的是什么?”站在云南师范大学一二一校区西南联大旧址里那间低矮简陋的教室前,李红英向研学的同学们发问。

“Gunfire,” “bombers,” “air raid sirens”… the students guessed one after another.

“是炮火”“是轰炸机”“是警报声”……同学们纷纷猜测。

“None of those. It was rain.” Li Hongying pointed to the iron sheet roof of the classroom: “During the National Southwestern Associated University period, conditions were harsh and materials were scarce. The thatched huts had iron sheet roofs. When it rained, the classroom sounded like beating drums and gongs. Once, a heavy rainstorm made it impossible for students to hear the lecture. The teacher simply wrote ‘Sit Quietly and Listen to the Rain’ on the blackboard and listened to the rain together with the students.” Li Hongying’s words seemed to transport the students back to those war-torn years.

“都不是,是下雨。”李红英手指着教室屋顶上的铁皮:“西南联大时期,条件艰苦,物资匮乏,茅屋铁皮顶,下雨时教室里就像敲鼓鸣锣。一次,暴雨吵得学生无法听讲,老师干脆在黑板上写下‘静坐听雨’四字,和学生一起细听雨声。”李红英的话,似乎把学生带到了那段战火纷飞的岁月。

Sunlight streamed through the classroom windows, spilling onto the oil-blackened desks and chairs. The university emblem on the wall shone brightly. The students felt profound respect for the calmness and composure of the teachers and students of the Associated University amidst the smoke and fire of war.

阳光透过教室窗户,洒在油黑的桌椅上,墙上的联大校徽熠熠生辉,学生们对战火硝烟中联大师生的淡定与从容肃然起敬。

This was a “walking ideological-political course,” and even more so, a transmission of the sentiment of family and country. Over 12,000 primary and secondary school students received a baptism of thought.

这是一堂“行走的思政课”,更是一次家国情怀的传承,超过12000名中小学生接受了思想的洗礼。

Walking across the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there is one such ideological-political course that has attracted national attention — the “Zhang Guimei Ideological-Political Grand Lecture Hall.”

行在云岭大地,有这样一堂思政课,吸引了全国的目光——“张桂梅思政大讲堂”。

“For me, establishing the girls’ high school was just the first step in realizing my dream; sending batch after batch of daughters of the mountains out of the mountains is the second step of the dream. My colleagues and I are still holding fast, still striving…” On the “Zhang Guimei Ideological-Political Grand Lecture Hall,” the moving speech by Zhang Guimei, principal of Huaping Girls’ High School in Lijiang, moved countless listeners to tears.

“对我来说,创办女高只是实现梦想的第一步;把一批批大山的女儿送出大山,这是梦想的第二步。我和同事们仍在坚守、仍在奋斗……”“张桂梅思政大讲堂”上,丽江华坪女子高级中学校长张桂梅动情的演讲,令无数听众洒下热泪。

Since its inception, this lecture hall has adhered to the concept of “letting those with faith speak about faith.” It has recorded and broadcast 15 sessions, with advanced model figures such as Zhu Youyong and Gui Haichao successively entering the grand lecture hall. Various universities and prefectures/cities in Yunnan have actively established diverse sub-lecture halls, holding over 300 sessions. This “walking,” “cloud-based,” “heart-nourishing” ideological-political course has now become the top “golden course” for ideological-political education in Yunnan.

这堂课创办至今,秉持“让有信仰的人讲信仰”的理念,录制播出15讲,朱有勇、桂海潮等先进模范人物先后走进大讲堂。云南各高校、各州市积极开设形式多样的分课堂,已开讲300余场,这堂“行走的”“云端的”“润心的”思政课,目前已经成为云南思政教育第一“金课”。

In recent years, schools across Yunnan have actively explored pathways for the organic integration of teaching methods, learning methods, and action methods, continuously extending the “radius” of ideological-political course classroom teaching, and striving to create an ideological-political course that steps out of the classroom.

近年来,云南各地学校积极探索教法、学法与行法的有机融合路径,持续延展思政课堂教学“半径”,努力打造一堂走出教室的思政课。

To promote ideological-political courses “walking” on the road and “entering” the heart, primary, secondary, and tertiary schools across Yunnan coordinate classroom teaching, practical teaching, and online teaching. They tell stories of ecological and environmental protection by the shores of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, tell red stories in memorial halls, and tell stories of ethnic unity in ethnic minority villages. The ideological-political course becomes more perceptible and knowable in the hearts of students.

为促进思政课“行”在路上、“走”进心里,云南省各地大中小学统筹课堂教学、实践教学、网络教学,在苍山洱海边讲生态环保故事,在纪念馆讲红色故事,在少数民族村落讲民族团结故事,思政课在学生心里更加可感可知。

In July 2024, a promotion meeting for the construction of ideological-political courses in schools across Yunnan Province in the New Era was held. “Explain the Party’s innovative theories deeply, thoroughly, and vividly,” “Improve the targeted nature and appeal of ideological-political courses,” “Make ideological-political courses ‘golden courses’ that students truly love and benefit from for life”… At the meeting, Wang Ning, Secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, issued the call.

2024年7月,新时代云南省学校思政课建设推进会召开。“把党的创新理论讲深、讲透、讲生动”“提高思政课的针对性和吸引力”“让思政课成为学生真心喜爱、终身受益的‘金课’”……会上,云南省委书记王宁发出号召。

The teacher-student social practice group for forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation at Yunnan Minzu University carried out a series of summer social practice activities under the theme “Pomegranate Red, Youth Reflects the Border.”

云南民族大学铸牢中华民族共同体意识师生社会实践团,以“石榴红 青春映边疆”为主题开展一系列暑期社会实践活动。

Nearly a hundred teachers and students from Yunnan University retraced the arduous journey of the Red Army’s Long March through Yunnan, experiencing the spirit of the Long March step by step. Shen Bin, Deputy Dean of the School of Marxism at Yunnan University, introduced: “Through exchanges with youth rooted in the border areas and visits to ethnic villages, many students have realized the significance of practice and gained a deeper understanding of the classroom content.”

云南大学近百名师生重温红军长征过云南的艰辛历程,在一步一个脚印中体悟长征精神。云南大学马克思主义学院副院长申斌介绍:“通过与扎根边疆青年交流、走访民族村寨,不少学生体会到实践的意义,对课堂内容有了更深切的理解。”

Multi-Channel Teaching: The Seeds of Ethnic Unity Bear Fruit

多渠道教学:民族团结的种子结硕果

At the Ethnic Unity Park in Ning’er County, Pu’er City, in front of the hexagonal pavilion, Zhang Qingyun, Party Secretary of Pu’er Middle School, led students in visiting the Ethnic Unity Pledge Stele and listening to Fang Caibing, a descendant of the pledge stele oath representatives, tell that story.

普洱市宁洱县民族团结园,六角亭前,普洱中学党委书记张青云带着学生们参观民族团结誓词碑,听誓词碑盟誓代表后代方财兵讲述那段故事。

“We, the representatives of twenty-six ethnic groups, on behalf of all compatriots of all ethnicities in the entire Pu’er region, solemnly conducted the bull-killing ceremony here, drank the oath water, and from now on, we are of one heart and one mind, united to the end. Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, we swear to strive for the construction of a big family of equality, freedom, and happiness! So help us.” Fang Caibing recited the 75-character oath from the pledge stele with a resounding tone.

“我们廿六种民族的代表,代表全普洱区各族同胞,慎重地于此举行了剽牛,喝了咒水,从此我们一心一德,团结到底,在中国共产党的领导下,誓为建设平等自由幸福的大家庭而奋斗!此誓。”方财兵语气铿锵,背出誓词碑上的75字誓言。

48 people, 26 ethnic groups, 75 characters, 74 years!

48人,26个民族,75字,74载!

Time passes, the monument stands firm as a rock, the oath is eternal.

时光流逝,丰碑如磐,誓言永恒。

“At that time, signing the oath was a life-risking act. Li Bao, the Lisu representative, was captured by Kuomintang reactionaries shortly after returning to his hometown. He was buried in the earth for seven days and seven nights. The enemy tried to tempt him, saying that if he stopped following the Communist Party, they would release him and he could even become a *tusi* [1]1 A *tusi* was a hereditary tribal chieftain or headman appointed by the imperial Chinese government to administer non-Han ethnic minority regions, a system largely abolished after the 1950s.. But he remained steadfast and unyielding, never changing his resolve, until he was martyred. My father, Fang Youfu, after being demobilized from the military, led the villagers in building a hydropower station, changing the backward appearance of his hometown. The Dai representative, Feng Yuqing, after graduating from Beijing, returned to work in a border township health clinic, dedicating her life…” Fang Caibing said.

“当时,盟誓签字是冒着生命风险的。傈僳族代表李保,回到家乡后不久就被国民党反动派抓走。他被埋在土里7天7夜,敌人劝诱只要不跟共产党就放了他,还能当土司,他却坚贞不屈,不改其志,直至牺牲;我的父亲方有富,退伍后带领乡亲们建设水电站,改变家乡落后面貌;傣族代表俸郁清,从北京毕业后回到边疆乡镇卫生所奉献一生……”方财兵说。

“The Blang people have an old saying, ‘A single wing cannot fly, a single leg cannot run; hands and feet must be united.’ Under the leadership of the Communist Party, our fathers’ generation used their blood and lives to protect ethnic unity and created today’s happy life with their own hands and sweat.” Deeply moved, Fang Caibing’s voice choked up, and tears glistened in the eyes of many students.

“布朗族有句古话,‘单翅不会飞,独脚不会跑,手足要团结’,在共产党的领导下,我们的父辈们用鲜血和生命守护民族团结,用双手和汗水创造了今天的幸福生活。”情到深处,方财兵声音哽咽了,不少同学眼中也闪着泪花。

This kind of ideological-political course on ethnic unity is a “required course” for every student at Pu’er Middle School.

这样的民族团结思政课,是普洱中学每一位学生的“必修课”。

Pu’er Middle School, separated from the Pledge Stele by only one wall, is a century-old school with nearly 5,000 students. Zhang Qingyun introduced that the school closely follows the main line of ethnic unity, carrying out distinctive educational activities such as telling the “story of one monument,” dancing the “ethnic unity dance,” and taking the “themed ideological-political course,” to ensure that forging the sense of community for the Chinese nation enters the mind and heart.

与誓词碑仅一墙之隔的普洱中学是一所百年老校,现有近5000名学生。张青云介绍,学校紧扣民族团结主线,开展讲好“一块丰碑故事”、跳好“民族团结舞”、上好“专题思政课”等特色教育活动,让铸牢中华民族共同体意识入脑入心。

“I’ve been learning the story of the Oath Tablet from primary school through to junior high, and I never get tired of this kind of ideological-political course!” said Li Ruoxi, a first-year student at Pu’er Middle School. She has now become a “pomegranate seed” docent at the school, and says that no matter where she goes in the future, she will continue to tell the story of the Oath Tablet well.

“誓词碑的故事,从小学学到初中,这样的思政课,我们听不够!”普洱中学初一学生李若溪说,她现在成了学校一名“石榴籽”讲解员,今后不论到什么地方,都会继续讲好誓词碑的故事。

This Oath Tablet bears witness to the historic transformations in the appearance of China’s ethnic minorities, ethnic minority regions, and ethnic relations under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Today, it receives over 100,000 person-visits annually for patriotic education.

这座誓词碑,见证着中国共产党领导下,我国少数民族面貌、民族地区面貌、民族关系面貌发生的历史性巨变。如今,每年来此接受爱国主义教育的达10余万人次。

An ideological-political course is taught everywhere across the country. What local characteristics should schools in Yunnan develop so that students can “see it,” “listen to it,” and “remember it”?

一堂思政课,全国各地都在讲,云南各学校该讲出什么样的本地特色,让学生“看得见”“听得进”“记得住”呢?

Opening the *Yunnan Province Three-Year Action Plan for High-Quality Development in Education (2023–2025)* and the implementation plan for strengthening education on forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation in schools, the practical path for integrating the forging of a sense of community for the Chinese nation into the entire process of school governance, teaching, and character cultivation is clearly visible.

翻开《云南省教育高质量发展三年行动计划(2023—2025年)》及加强学校铸牢中华民族共同体意识教育实施方案,铸牢中华民族共同体意识融入办学治校、教书育人全过程的实践路径清晰可见。

Zhenkang County, Lincang City, carries out “five ones” activities—themed lesson competitions, speeches, calligraphy, painting, and song-and-dance; Tengchong City, Baoshan City, holds teacher training classes on education for forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation… In Yunnan, 25 border counties carry out a “border tour” series of activities for school education on forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation, using methods such as special lectures and cultural study tours to make “flowers of unity” bloom all along the border.

临沧市镇康县开展主题课赛、演讲、书法、绘画和歌舞“五个一”活动;保山市腾冲市举办铸牢中华民族共同体意识教育师资培训班……在云南,25个边境县开展学校铸牢中华民族共同体意识教育“边境行”系列活动,通过专题讲座、文化研学等方式,让边境线上开满“团结花”。

At Yunnan Minzu University, the Party secretary and the president take the lead in teaching the “Ethnic Unity and Progress” first lesson of the semester. Professor Bi Yueguang from the university’s School of Marxism introduced: “The school focuses on enhancing the targeted relevance and appeal of ideological-political courses, applying MOOCs and cloud classrooms to teaching, and forming a teaching pattern that is broad in scope, wide in perspective, and multi-channeled.”

在云南民族大学,书记、校长带头讲授“民族团结进步”开学第一课。该校马克思主义学院教授毕跃光介绍:“学院注重提升思政课的针对性和吸引力,将慕课、云课堂应用到教学中,形成宽领域、广角度和多渠道的教学格局。”

Shi Mengyuan introduced that students from different ethnic groups study and live together at the school, helping each other, and the school organizes rich practical activities to let the sense of community for the Chinese nation merge into the students’ blood.

石梦媛介绍,来自不同民族的学生在学校学习生活,互帮互助,学校组织开展丰富的实践活动,让中华民族共同体意识融入学生血脉。

The research team learned that across Yunnan Province, the small classroom of ideological-political education is combined with the big classroom of society. Rich practical activities allow the seeds of ethnic unity and progress to take root, sprout, and bear abundant fruit in the hearts of students.

调研组了解到,云南全省将思政小课堂与社会大课堂相结合,丰富的实践活动,让民族团结进步的种子在学生心中生根、发芽,结出累累硕果。

Full-Process Coverage: Ideological-Political Education Nourishes the Heart Like Spring Breeze and Rain

全过程覆盖:思政教育春风化雨入心间

Facing students from primary and secondary schools to universities, ideological-political courses must “nourish the heart like spring breeze and rain.” How can the “most difficult to teach” be taught most brilliantly?

面对大中小学学生,思政课都要“春风化雨入心间”,怎样才能把“最难讲”讲得最精彩?

“Classmates, what can you use instead of plastic bags when shopping?” In an ideological-political course classroom, teacher Wang Yuehan from Mingtong Primary School, Panlong District, Kunming, threw out a question. Fourth-grade students eagerly vied to answer: “Use a canvas bag,” “I can use my schoolbag,” “My grandma has a vegetable basket”…

“同学们,购物时可以用什么来代替塑料袋?”思政课课堂上,昆明市盘龙区明通小学教师王悦菡一个问题抛出去,四年级的学生们争先恐后抢答起来:“用帆布袋”“我可以用书包装”“我奶奶有菜篮子”……

In the courseware, on the left was a factory belching thick smoke, on the right a rural landscape of green mountains and clear waters. “This shows two different development paths: sacrificing the environment or protecting it?” Faced with the two photos and the question posed by teacher Zhou Xue from Kunming Experimental Middle School, seventh-grade students unanimously pointed to the right.

课件中,左侧是浓烟滚滚的工厂,右侧是青山绿树的乡村。“这体现着两条不同的发展路径,牺牲环境还是保护环境?”面对两张照片和昆明市实验中学教师周学提出的问题,七年级学生齐刷刷指向右侧。

“Ailao Mountain has become popular. How should we handle the relationship between protection and development?” At Kunming No. 10 Middle School, facing a photo of wild animals with bright eyes and a mysterious primeval forest, the question “How to find the balance point between ecological protection and economic development” plunged the students into thought.

“哀牢山走红了,该如何处理好保护与开发的关系?”昆明市第十中学,面对照片里眼神炯炯的野生动物和幽秘的原始森林,“如何找到生态保护与经济发展的平衡点”的问题让学生们陷入了思考。

An ideological-political course explaining Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization—how should it be taught to different age groups of students? Recently, at the Qiushi Campus of Kunming No. 10 Middle School, a unique ideological-political course teaching demonstration activity provided a vivid answer.

一堂阐释习近平生态文明思想的思政课,面对不同年龄段的学生群体,分别应该如何讲?近日,在昆十中求实校区,一场别开生面的思政课教学展示活动给出了生动答案。

Deeply advancing the integrated construction of ideological and political education across primary, secondary, and tertiary schools is both an earnest instruction that General Secretary Xi Jinping constantly bears in mind and a phased task clearly set out in the *Yunnan Province Three-Year Action Plan for High-Quality Development in Education (2023–2025)*.

深入推进大中小学思想政治教育一体化建设,既是习近平总书记念兹在兹的殷殷嘱托,也是《云南省教育高质量发展三年行动计划(2023—2025年)》明确提出的阶段性任务。

The primary school stage focuses on cultivating moral emotions, the junior high stage on laying a solid ideological foundation, the senior high stage on enhancing political literacy, and the university stage on strengthening the sense of mission and responsibility. Anchored to the tasks and goals, the Yunnan Provincial Education Working Committee and the Provincial Education Department established a steering committee for the integrated construction of ideological-political courses across primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. Each school takes the ideological-political course as a key course, strengthens its construction, and incorporates it into assessments, making it an important evaluation standard for school-running quality and disciplinary development. As the research team traveled along, they saw that a batch of school “alliances” and evaluation systems for integrated construction are being explored and established in Yunnan, and a number of master teacher studios for ideological-political courses have emerged as the times require. Leading and promoting the high-quality development of ideological-political education in the New Era through integrated construction is steadily becoming a reality.

小学阶段重在培养道德情感,初中阶段重在打牢思想基础,高中阶段重在提升政治素养,大学阶段重在增强使命担当。锚定任务目标,云南省委教育工委、省教育厅成立大中小学思政课一体化建设指导委员会,各学校把思政课作为重点课程加强建设纳入考核,将之作为办学质量和学科建设的重要评估标准。调研组一路行走,见到云南一批一体化建设的学校“联盟”和评价体系正在探索建立,一批思政课名师工作室也应运而生,以一体化建设引领推动新时代思政教育高质量发展,正在不断成为现实。

Serving integrated construction with a high-level teaching force. Currently, the full-time ideological-political course teaching force across Yunnan’s primary, secondary, and tertiary schools has reached over 25,000 people. A full-coverage training mechanism linking the province, prefectures, counties, townships, and schools has been established and is increasingly being perfected. Collective lesson preparation, online lesson polishing, and centralized study and research—around the question of how to teach a good ideological-political course, teachers from primary, secondary, and tertiary schools inevitably engage in “mutual sharpening” and “mutual adjustment.”

以高水平师资队伍服务一体化建设。目前,云南各大中小学专职思政课教师队伍达2.5万多人,省、州、县、乡、校联动全覆盖培训机制建立并日益完善。集体备课、线上磨课、集中研学,围绕如何上好思政课,大中小学思政课教师少不了“切磋”“磨合”。

“Ideological-political course teaching is not only knowledge transmission but also the shaping of emotions and values,” said Huang Jing, a teacher from Taoyuan Primary School, Panlong District, Kunming, during collective lesson preparation for the topic “The Chinese Nation Is One Family—No One Can Be Separated.” Starting from forms such as storytelling and situational dramas, she enabled students to feel the importance of ethnic unity and cultural identity in activities. “The design of ideological-political courses must not only focus on cultivating core competencies but also pay attention to the connection and progression between different learning stages, ensuring the coherence of ideological-political education from primary school to university,” Huang Jing told the research team.

“思政课教学不仅是知识传授,更是情感与价值的塑造。”在集体备课《中华民族一家亲——谁也离不开谁》的过程中,昆明市盘龙区桃源小学教师黄静从讲故事、情景剧等形式入手,让学生们在活动中感受到民族团结与文化认同的重要性。“思政课的设计不仅要关注核心素养的培养,还要注意各学段的衔接和递进,确保从小学到大学思政教育的连贯性。”黄静告诉调研组。

Using integrated teaching aids and supplementary materials throughout the entire process of student growth. “We have organized the compilation of local supplementary teaching materials for the integrated construction of ideological-political courses across primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in Yunnan Province. The primary school edition is rich in pictures and texts, the junior high edition has vivid stories, the senior high edition combines history and theory, and the university edition focuses on theory,” introduced Liu Huajun, dean of the School of Marxism at Yunnan Normal University.

以一体化教辅教材贯穿学生成长全过程。“我们组织编写云南省大中小学思政课一体化建设本土教辅材料,小学版图文并茂,初中版故事生动,高中版史论结合,大学版则重在理论。”云南师范大学马克思主义学院院长刘化军介绍。

Beyond this, integrated cloud-based ideological-political education and integrated resource sharing are blossoming in diverse forms across the Yunnan region. High-quality teaching resources and cloud-based video lessons are constantly being uploaded on various video platforms, continuously enhancing the influence and appeal of ideological-political education. “Universities possess richer educational resources and should sink these high-quality resources downward,” Wang Haiyun, dean of the School of Marxism at Kunming University of Science and Technology, told the research team. Each school should also adhere to the combination of “bringing in” and “going out” to improve the utilization rate of educational resources.

除此以外,一体化云端思政、一体化资源共享,正在云岭各地摇曳生花。优质的教学资源、云端视频课不断在各视频平台上新,思政教育的影响力、感染力不断增强。“大学拥有更丰富的教育资源,要将这些优质的教育资源下沉。”昆明理工大学马克思主义学院院长王海云告诉调研组,各学校也应该坚持“引进来”与“走出去”相结合,提高教育资源的利用率。

Experience and Insights

经验与启示

As a key course for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [2]2 “Fostering virtue through education” (立德树人) is a core principle of Chinese education policy, emphasizing moral character cultivation as the foundation of talent development., the ideological-political course carries the historical expectation of cultivating new generations for the era and bears the epochal mission of realizing the great dream. Yunnan Province precisely grasps the needs of the times, actively implements General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important directives on the construction of ideological-political courses in schools, and continuously promotes the construction of ideological-political courses to write a new chapter.

作为落实立德树人根本任务的关键课程,思政课承载着培养时代新人的历史期许,担负着实现伟大梦想的时代使命。云南省精准把握时代需要,积极贯彻习近平总书记对学校思政课建设的重要指示精神,不断推动思政课建设谱写新篇章。

Always adhere to strengthening Party leadership and create a “grand ideological-political” pattern. To improve the quality and effectiveness of ideological-political courses, we must first carry out systematic and three-dimensional construction around the general goal of fostering virtue through education. Yunnan Province, based on the overall situation of the education enterprise, clarifies the objectives, tasks, and methods, places the construction of ideological-political courses in an important position, strictly aligns the construction direction with institutionalization, gathers consensus among the vast number of teachers and students, and provides a strong political guarantee. The entire provincial education system comprehensively promotes taking the effectiveness of “grand ideological-political course” construction as an important evaluation standard for school-running quality and disciplinary development. Party committees (Party groups) at all levels continue to treat the construction of ideological-political courses as an important component of the Party’s leadership over educational work, striving to build a working model of unified command by the Party committee, joint advancement by the Party and government, each relevant department performing its own duties, and coordinated cooperation across the whole society, creating a favorable environment for the entire Party and the whole society to actively run ideological-political courses well.

始终坚持加强党的领导,开创“大思政”格局。思政课提质增效,首先要围绕立德树人这一总目标进行系统性、立体化构建。云南省立足教育事业全局,明晰目标任务方法,将思政课建设摆在重要位置,以制度化严格把准建设方向,凝聚广大师生共识,提供坚强政治保障。全省教育系统全面推动把“大思政课”建设成效作为办学质量和学科建设的重要评估标准。各级党委(党组)持续把思政课建设作为党领导教育工作的重要组成部分,努力构建党委统一指挥、党政共同推进、相关部门各司其职、全社会协同合作的工作模式,营造全党全社会积极办好思政课的良好环境。

Deeply revitalize ideological-political education resources, optimize the “grand classroom” model. Yunnan Province focuses on the iteration from “ideological-political courses” to “grand ideological-political courses,” actively developing and utilizing various on- and off-campus practice bases, red culture venues, and other resources, exploring the “classroom + practice” model, and promoting the shift from small classrooms to grand lecture halls, from small subjects to grand practice, and from small accumulations to grand integration. First, focus on the classroom’s educational attributes, use academic research to elucidate theory, narrate the principles of things through stories, and create a vivid, three-dimensional, and infectious classroom “main battlefield.” In response to the problem that the vertical coordination of ideological-political courses still needs strengthening, universities in Yunnan actively play a synergistic and driving role within the integrated community for ideological-political courses in universities, middle schools, and primary schools, building an integrated construction community for ideological-political courses in universities, middle schools, and primary schools that is “vertical to the end, horizontal to the edge, and fully covered,” forming an integrated construction pattern of top-down linkage. Second, highlight the function of practical education. From between buildings to the fields, teachers and students take questions out of the classroom and into society, deepening their understanding of knowledge and identification with values in one “walking ideological-political course” after another.

深度盘活思政教育资源,优化“大课堂”模式。云南省注重从“思政课”到“大思政课”的迭代,积极开发利用各类校内外实践基地、红色文化场馆等资源,探索“课堂+实践”模式,推动小课堂走向大讲堂,小科目走向大实践,小叠加走向大融合。一是聚焦课堂育人属性,借助学术研究阐释理论,通过故事讲述事物道理,打造立体生动、富有感染力的课堂“主阵地”。针对思政课纵向协同有待加强的问题,云南高校在大中小学思政课一体化共同体中积极发挥协同助推作用,打造“纵向到底、横向到边、全面覆盖”的大中小学思政课一体化建设共同体,形成了上下联动的一体化建设格局。二是突出实践育人功能,从楼宇之间到田间地头,广大师生带着问题走出课堂走进社会,在一堂堂“行走的思政课”中深化对知识的理解和对价值的认同。

Actively build ideological-political education brands, cultivate the momentum of the “grand platform.” Creating ideological-political education brands with characteristics, highlights, and influence has important value implications for guiding, cultivating, and shaping the ideological-political literacy of young students. Yunnan Province makes full use of diversified carrier forms such as platforms, activities, courses, and bases, taking the “Zhang Guimei Ideological-Political Grand Lecture Hall” as the lead, and launching a batch of distinctive ideological-political course brands rooted in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, such as the “Southwest Associated University Forum,” “Understanding China,” and the “Academician of the Peasants Grand Lecture Hall,” jointly outlining a new pattern of ideological-political courses on the Red Soil Plateau that is “specialized,” “innovative,” “refined,” and “distinctive.” By integrating the Party’s innovative theories, embedding characteristic practical activities, and infiltrating new educational technologies, it consolidates the unique advantages of the ideological-political work brand in universities, continuously meets the spiritual needs of young students, and injects new development momentum into the reform of ideological-political courses in the New Era.

积极打造思政教育品牌,涵育“大平台”动能。打造有特色、有亮点、有影响的思政教育品牌,对于引导、培育、塑造青年学生思想政治素养有着重要的价值意蕴。云南省充分利用平台、活动、课程、基地等多元化载体形式,以“张桂梅思政大讲堂”为引领,推出“西南联大讲坛”“理解中国”“农民院士大讲堂”等一批扎根云岭大地的思政课特色品牌,共同勾勒出“专”“新”“精”“特”的红土高原思政课新样态。通过融入党的创新理论,嵌入特色实践活动,渗入新型教育技术,夯实高校思想政治工作品牌的独特优势,不断契合青年学生精神需要,为新时代思政课改革注入新的发展动能。

Strive to build the team of ideological-political course teachers, forge a solid “grand teaching staff” system. Yunnan Province focuses on the scale, structure, and professional construction of the ideological-political teacher team. Education authorities at all levels across the province adopt multiple measures to accelerate the improvement of the talent cultivation system for the selection, use, management, and assessment of ideological-political course teachers, strengthen the supply of high-quality talents for ideological-political education, and promote schools to equip a full and strong contingent of ideological-political course teachers. First, standardize the allocation system, making clear quantitative requirements for the ratio of ideological-political course teachers at all educational stages in universities, middle schools, and primary schools across the province. Second, improve the access system, clarify selection standards and procedures, strictly control key links such as political literacy, teacher ethics, and professional ability during the selection process, and emphasize the timely conduct of pre-employment training and assessment for teachers. Third, perfect the training system, regularly conduct pre-employment training and backbone teacher seminars for teachers, actively organize teachers to participate in teaching research projects, basic teaching skills competitions, textbook use training, collective lesson preparation meetings, and other activities, using training to promote teaching and using competition to promote teaching.

着力打造思政课教师队伍,铸牢“大师资”体系。云南省聚焦思政教师队伍规模、结构和专业建设问题,全省各级教育主管部门多措并举加快健全思政课教师选用、管理、考核、成长的人才培养体系,强化思政教育高素质人才供给,推动学校配齐配强思政课教师。一是规范配备制度,对于全省大中小学各学段思政课教师配比作出明确量化要求;二是健全准入制度,明确选聘标准与流程,严格把控选聘过程中的政治素养、师德品质、专业能力等关键环节,强调定时开展教师的入职前培训评估工作;三是完善培训制度,定期开展教师入职培训和骨干研修,积极组织教师参加教学课题研究、教学基本功比赛和教材使用培训、集体备课会等活动,以培促教,以赛促教。
