Effectively Transforming Educational Characteristics into Educational Advantages

将办学特色有效转化为育人优势

In the New Era, for universities with information technology characteristics to deliver a good “big ideological and political course” is an inevitable choice for serving the overall national development situation, highlighting educational characteristics, and fulfilling the mission of educating people, carrying important practical significance and contemporary value.

新时代，信息科技特色高校上好“大思政课”是服务国家发展大局、彰显办学特色、实现育人使命的必然选择，具有重要的现实意义和时代价值。

Educational modernization is an inherent requirement for building a strong educational country, and digitalization is a key driving force for accelerating educational modernization. As important fronts for national information technology talent cultivation and technological innovation, universities with information technology characteristics must actively integrate cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data deeply into the construction of the “big ideological and political course” system, empowering ideological and political education innovation with technology, and providing solid talent support for advancing Chinese-path modernization through the vivid practice of educational modernization.

教育现代化是建设教育强国的题中应有之义，数字化是加快教育现代化的关键驱动力。信息科技特色高校作为国家信息技术人才培养和科技创新的重要阵地，必须主动将人工智能、大数据等前沿技术深度融入“大思政课”体系建设，以技术赋能思政教育创新，以教育现代化的生动实践为推进中国式现代化提供坚实人才支撑。

The core competitiveness of universities with information technology characteristics lies in their profound disciplinary accumulation and cutting-edge technological advantages. Effectively transforming this educational characteristic into a unique educational advantage is the key to delivering a good “big ideological and political course.” Universities with information technology characteristics should drive innovation in teaching models through technological innovation and enrich the connotation of ideological and political education with disciplinary resources. Through the deep integration of the disciplinary system and the value system, and the organic unity of knowledge transmission and spiritual shaping, they should construct an educational paradigm with information technology characteristics, achieving a creative transformation from disciplinary advantages to educational advantages.

信息科技特色高校的核心竞争力在于其深厚的学科积淀与前沿的技术优势。将这一办学特色有效转化为独特的育人优势，是上好“大思政课”的关键所在。信息科技特色高校要以技术创新驱动教学模式革新，以学科资源丰富思政教育内涵。通过学科体系与价值体系的深度融合、知识传授与精神塑造的有机统一，构建起具有信息科技特色的育人范式，实现从学科优势向育人优势的创造性转化。

What kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate them, and for whom to cultivate them are the fundamental questions of education. The construction of the “big ideological and political course” in universities with information technology characteristics must firmly grasp the core purpose of “educating people.” Based on the thinking traits and growth patterns of students in relevant majors, it should guide students to strengthen their ideals and convictions in immersive experiences, shape value judgments in the deliberation of technological ethics, and naturally generate the emotional identification and mission drive of “serving the country through science and technology” in solving “bottleneck” technological problems, thereby laying a solid talent foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

培养什么人、怎样培养人、为谁培养人是教育的根本问题。信息科技特色高校的“大思政课”建设，必须牢牢把握“育人”这一核心旨归。立足相关专业学生的思维特质与成长规律，引导学生在沉浸式体验中坚定理想信念，在科技伦理思辨中塑造价值判断，在解决“卡脖子”技术难题中自然生发“科技报国”的情感认同与使命驱动，为民族复兴伟业筑牢人才根基。

Accurately Grasping Four Important Relationships in Delivering a Good “Big Ideological and Political Course”

准确把握上好“大思政课”的四对重要关系

When advancing the construction of the “big ideological and political course,” universities with information technology characteristics should accurately grasp the following four important relationships.

信息科技特色高校在推进“大思政课”建设时，要准确把握以下四对重要关系。

Adhere to the organic integration of disciplinary characteristics and educational laws. When developing characteristic teaching resources, efforts should be made to achieve deep integration and effective connection between the professional knowledge system and core socialist values. The key lies in grasping the dialectical relationship between the particular and the universal, so that the application of school history, school conditions, and disciplinary resources ultimately lands on universal educational requirements, forming a benign situation where characteristics and laws complement each other.

坚持学科特色与育人规律的有机融合。在开发特色教学资源时，要着力做好专业知识体系与社会主义核心价值观的深度融合和有效衔接。关键在于把握特殊与普遍的辩证关系，使校史校情、学科资源的运用最终落脚于普遍性的育人要求，形成特色与规律相辅相成的良性局面。

Achieve the dialectical unity of instrumental rationality and value rationality. The leading position of ideological and political guidance must always be upheld, making it clear that information technology is an important tool for serving educational goals, and guarding against the misconception of “technological omnipotence.” The application of information technology should always revolve around the fundamental task of “fostering virtue through education,” fully leveraging its positive role in expanding educational boundaries while ensuring the organic unity of technological application and value guidance.

做到工具理性与价值理性的辩证统一。要始终坚持思政引领的主导地位，明确信息技术是服务育人目标的重要工具，警惕“技术万能”的误区。信息技术的运用应当始终围绕“立德树人”的根本任务，既要充分发挥其在拓展教育边界方面的积极作用，更要确保技术应用与价值引领的有机统一。

Emphasize the coordinated linkage between multiple subjects and university leadership. The construction of the “big ideological and political course” requires building a work pattern with coordinated participation from multiple subjects, but the university Party committee must play the role of “setting the direction, managing the overall situation, making decisions, and ensuring implementation,” focusing on solving key issues in resource integration and mechanism innovation, avoiding deviations in educational direction caused by multiple subjects acting independently.

注重多方主体与高校主导的协同联动。“大思政课”建设需要构建多方主体协同参与的工作格局，但高校党委必须发挥“把方向、管大局、作决策、保落实”的作用，着力解决资源整合、机制创新中的关键问题，避免多方主体各自为战导致育人方向偏差。

Coordinate the coordination and cooperation between internal and external resources. Universities should build an open and shared resource system for the “big ideological and political course,” by creating an integrated resource co-construction and sharing mechanism that combines theory and practice, inside and outside the school, and online and offline, promoting resource interflow and complementary advantages, forming a work pattern where the whole society works together to deliver a good “big ideological and political course.”

统筹校内资源与校外资源的协调配合。高校要构建开放共享的“大思政课”资源体系，通过打造理论和实践、校内和校外、线上和线下相融合的一体化建设资源共建共享机制，促进资源互通、优势互补，形成全社会共同努力办好“大思政课”的工作格局。

Actively Exploring Practical Pathways for Delivering a Good “Big Ideological and Political Course”

积极探索上好“大思政课”的实践路径

Universities with information technology characteristics should deeply grasp the original aspiration and founding mission of “educating people for the Party and cultivating talent for the country,” systematically excavate and effectively integrate characteristic resources such as school history genes and information technology, innovatively construct an educational matrix for the “big ideological and political course,” further build a “big classroom” for education, strengthen a “big platform” for education, gather “big teaching resources” for education, and create a “big pattern” for education.

信息科技特色高校要深刻把握“为党育人、为国育才”的初心使命，系统挖掘、有效融合校史基因、信息技术等特色资源，创新构建“大思政课”育人矩阵，进一步建设育人“大课堂”、建强育人“大平台”、汇聚育人“大师资”、开创育人“大格局”。

Integrate the red gene of school history to build a high-standard “big classroom” for education. School history engraves a school’s educational journey, cultural heritage, and era imprint. The role of red school history as a “historical material treasure trove” in ideological and political education should be leveraged, deepening the “main channel” of the classroom, creating a “big ideological and political course” within profound history, promoting the alignment of ideological and political courses with curriculum-based ideological and political education, and achieving the organic combination of value shaping, knowledge transmission, and ability cultivation. The role of red school history as a “living source” in fostering virtue through education should be leveraged, activating the “main stage” of the campus, creating a “big ideological and political course” in ceremonial education, making ceremonies a dynamic classroom that stimulates emotional resonance and strengthens identity. The role of red school history as a “strong position” in promoting the spirit of the times should be leveraged, using cultural venues to carry out immersive practical study, transforming ideological and political education into concrete, contextualized, and interactive innovative practices.

融入校史红色基因，高标准建设育人“大课堂”。校史镌刻着一所学校的办学历程、文化传承与时代印记。要发挥红色校史在思政教育中的“史料宝库”作用，深耕课堂“主渠道”，打造厚重历史中的“大思政课”，推动思政课程和课程思政同向同行，实现价值塑造、知识传授、能力培养有机结合。要发挥红色校史在立德树人中的“源头活水”作用，激活校园“主舞台”，打造典礼育人中的“大思政课”，使典礼仪式成为激发情感共鸣、强化身份认同的动态课堂。要发挥红色校史在弘扬时代精神中的“坚强阵地”作用，利用文化场馆开展沉浸式实践研学，将思政教育转化为具象化、情境化、互动化的创新实践。

Integrate information technology characteristics to build a high-starting-point “big platform” for education. Currently, a new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence is profoundly restructuring the educational ecosystem. Universities with information technology characteristics should make technological empowerment a key variable in promoting the high-quality development of ideological and political education, deepening the empowerment of all elements, processes, and scenarios of education and teaching by artificial intelligence. Focus on personalized growth and development, creating a “big ideological and political course” on the smart cloud. For example, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, based on the development trend of digital intelligence education, innovatively built the “You AI” student growth intelligent agent platform, independently developed AI application models for students’ general qualities, professional abilities, career development, and multi-dimensional early warnings, creating a three-in-one benign educational pattern of “student growth—counselor empowerment—school governance.” Focus on ideological value guidance, using information technology to support breaking down barriers between educational stages and sharing high-quality resources, creating a “big ideological and political course” integrated across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. Focus on enhancing research capabilities, creating a “big ideological and political course” in engineering practice, actively encouraging students to achieve value guidance and ability forging in the exploration of teacher-student collaborative problem-solving and self-developed digital platforms, transforming research advantages into educational advantages.

融合信息技术特色，高起点搭建育人“大平台”。当前，人工智能等新一代信息技术正深刻重构教育生态，信息科技特色高校要将技术赋能作为推动思政教育高质量发展的关键变量，深化人工智能赋能教育教学全要素全过程全场景。要聚焦个性成长发展，打造智慧云端上的“大思政课”。如北京邮电大学立足数智教育发展趋势，创新性建设“邮AI”学生成长智能体平台，自主研发学生通用素质、专业能力、职业发展和多维预警等AI应用模型，打造“学生成长—辅导员赋能—学校治理”三位一体良性育人格局。要聚焦思想价值引领，用信息技术为打破学段壁垒、共享优质资源提供支撑，打造大中小学一体化的“大思政课”。要聚焦科研能力提升，打造工程实践中的“大思政课”，积极鼓励学生在师生协同攻关、自主研发数字平台的探索中实现价值引领与能力锻造，将科研优势转化为育人优势。

Integrate multiple team forces to gather high-level “big teaching resources” for education. “Big teaching resources” are the core element of the construction of the “big ideological and political course.” Universities with information technology characteristics should integrate multiple forces to build a “big teaching resources” team that combines full-time and part-time staff, coordinates internal and external resources, and has a reasonable structure. Gather renowned experts to create an excellent leading “big ideological and political course.” Universities should invite experts and scholars from inside and outside the school, industry leaders, and master craftsmen into the campus, guiding students to find their life coordinates in the vivid practice of Chinese-path modernization and establish lofty ideals. Dual-teacher drive to create a “big ideological and political course” for scientific innovation serving the country. Universities should build a new mechanism for collaborative education between school and enterprise mentors, through a dual-track guidance system of “school professional mentors + off-campus industry mentors,” cultivating outstanding engineering talents in engineering environments, practical projects, and organized research, achieving precise alignment between the talent cultivation supply side and the industrial demand side. Four-dimensional linkage to create a “big ideological and political course” for building a strong cyber country. Universities should promote the interconnection and coordination of four forces: “ideological and political teams—professional teachers—administrative management—research mentors.” Ideological and political teams should strengthen value guidance in daily ideological and political education; professional teachers should deeply embed patriotism and technological ethics in knowledge transmission; management departments should create an innovative ecosystem by optimizing systems; research mentors should lead students to hone their skills and bravely undertake missions in research problem-solving. All parties should form a joint force, striving to cultivate more new-era individuals who are worthy of the Party’s trust, patriotic and dedicated, and capable of shouldering the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

融汇多方队伍力量，高水平集聚育人“大师资”。“大师资”是“大思政课”建设的核心要素，信息科技特色高校要整合多方力量，打造一支专兼结合、内外协同、结构合理的“大师资”队伍。名家汇智，打造卓越领航“大思政课”。高校要邀请校内外专家学者、行业领军人物、大国工匠等走进校园，引导学生在中国式现代化建设的生动实践中找准人生坐标，树立远大理想。双师驱动，打造科创报国“大思政课”。高校要构建校企导师协同育人新机制，通过“学校专业导师+校外产业导师”双轨指导体系，在工程化环境、实战化项目、有组织科研中培养卓越工程人才，实现人才培养供给侧与产业需求侧的精准对接。四维联动，打造网络强国“大思政课”。高校要推动“思政队伍—专业教师—行政管理—科研导师”四支力量贯通协同，思政队伍要在日常思政教育中强化价值引领，专业教师在知识传授中深植家国情怀与科技伦理，管理部门通过优化制度营造创新生态，科研导师带领学生在科研攻关中锤炼本领、勇担使命，各方形成合力，努力培养更多让党放心、爱国奉献、担当民族复兴大任的时代新人。

Integrate high-quality resources between the university and society to create a “grand framework” for education with high quality. Social synergy is an indispensable and important characteristic of a strong educational nation. Universities specializing in information technology should actively promote the organic integration of the small ideological-political classroom with the large social classroom. It is necessary to strengthen inter-university exchanges, build a collaborative and linked “grand ideological-political course,” focus on strategic, foundational, and forward-looking scientific research directions, jointly open up new prospects for high-level scientific and technological innovation, and create a new model for co-cultivating and sharing talent resources. It is necessary to deepen university-enterprise cooperation, build a “grand ideological-political course” that integrates industry and education, closely combine talent cultivation with industrial development, establish a closed-loop mechanism of “industry posing problems, teachers and students solving problems, and enterprises evaluating problems,” and place students at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation. It is necessary to promote university-local government coordination, build a “grand ideological-political course” in motion, actively construct a social practice system that integrates knowledge and action, vigorously expand platforms for graduate students to take on temporary posts, select and send graduate students to the forefront of national construction, the main battlefield of western development, and the front line of grassroots governance, and guide students to write their theses on the land, conduct experiments in the fields, and apply what they have learned at the front line.

融通校社优质资源，高质量开创育人“大格局”。社会协同力是教育强国不可或缺的重要特质，信息科技特色高校要积极推动思政小课堂与社会大课堂有机衔接。要加强校际交流，打造协同联动“大思政课”，聚焦战略性、基础性、前瞻性科学研究方向，共同开拓高层次科技创新新局面，打造共育共享人才资源新模式。要深化校企合作，打造产教融合“大思政课”，将人才培养与产业发展紧密结合，建立“行业出题、师生解题、企业评题”的闭环机制，让学生置身于科技创新的前沿一线。要推进校地协同，打造行走中的“大思政课”，积极构建知行合一的社会实践体系，大力拓展研究生挂职锻炼平台，选派研究生奔赴国家建设最前沿、西部开发主战场、基层治理第一线，引导学生将论文写在大地上、将实验做到田野间、将所学用在一线中。
