Practical Difficulties and Optimization Pathways for Integrating “Five Histories” Education into Ideological and Political Theory Courses in Application-Oriented Colleges and Universities
Promoting the integration of education in the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening-up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation into ideological and political theory courses in colleges and universities is an important task in building the “Great Ideological and Political Theory Courses” in the new era, and is also an inevitable requirement for local application-oriented colleges and universities to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education. Compared with research-oriented universities, local application-oriented colleges and universities are constrained by total class hours, teaching resources, and students’ learning characteristics. In the integration of “Five Histories” education, there are problems such as superficial content, rigid models, formalistic practice, and insufficient teacher adaptability. Based on the actual educational context of local application-oriented colleges and universities, this paper constructs a resource-light, implementable, and normalized integration pathway from four dimensions: content system, classroom model, practice system, and teaching-research mechanism.
