Exploration and practice in the development of integrated courses between ideological-political and general education in universities:Taking"Class in the Desert"of Tsinghua University for example
摘要
Abstract
[Objective]This research aims to explore the innovative integration of Ideological and Political education with general education in higher education institutions,exemplified by Tsinghua University's"Class in the Desert"course.The study addresses the evolving challenges and opportunities in Ideological and Political education in the new era,focusing on enhancing students'understanding of China's northwest border regions,guide students fostering a strong sense of community for Chinese nation,and cultivating scientific thinking,patriotism,and a spirit of perseverance.By integrating practice-based teaching with Ideological and Political education,the course seeks to provide students with a vivid and immersive learning experience that goes beyond traditional class settings.[Methods]The research is based on a 21-year-long investigation and field study conducted by the teaching team in the Taklamakan Desert,Gurbantünggüt Desert,and the Tianshan Mountains.The"Class in the Desert"course was launched in 2023,combining on-campus learning,site visits,and extracurricular research focused on advanced scientific achievements and major projects in China's western desert regions.The course content covers red resources,major national projects,ancient city ruins,and rural revitalization.The study analyzes the teaching design,implementation path,and effectiveness of the course in strengthening Ideological and Political education through both qualitative and quantitative methods.Data were collected from student feedback,course evaluations,and media coverage,and analyzed to assess the impact of the course on students'knowledge,values,and capabilities.[Results]The course has achieved several innovative outcomes.Firstly,it breaks the traditional reliance on class lectures in Ideological and Political courses by integrating practice-based general education with Ideological and Political education.The course uses the unique desert environment as a platform to enhance students'identification with China's development path through experiential learning.Students gain firsthand insights into the technological advancements and engineering achievements in the desert regions,such as the Tianshan Victory Tunnel and the±1 100 kV UHV Changji Converter Station,thereby deepening their understanding of China's progress and national strength.Secondly,the course has developed a comprehensive teaching model that combines knowledge transmission,value shaping,and capability cultivation.It includes pre-class thematic learning,in-class multi-theme integration,and post-class summarization and reflection.Pre-class activities involve thematic learning sessions on topics such as desertification control,West-East Gas Pipeline,and West-East Power Transmission.These sessions provide students with a solid theoretical foundation before their on-site visits.During the course,students visit various sites,including historical museums,engineering projects,and rural revitalization initiatives,integrating Ideological and Political education with practical experiences.Post-class activities include daily summaries,group discussions,and reflective writing,which help students consolidate their learning and develop critical thinking skills.Thirdly,the course has been recognized as an exemplary integrated Ideological and Political and general education course at Tsinghua University,offering a new model for integrating Ideological and Political education with practical teaching.The course's innovative approach has been widely covered by media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency,China News Service,and the Tsinghua University News Network,highlighting its impact and potential for broader application.[Conclusions]The study concludes that integrating Ideological and Political education with practical general education courses can significantly enhance the effectiveness of Ideological and Political education.The"Class in the Desert"course demonstrates that combining field experiences with class teaching can deepen students'understanding of national development,foster a sense of national identity,and cultivate a spirit of responsibility.The course also highlights the importance of leveraging unique geographical and cultural contexts to create engaging and impactful educational experiences.This approach not only strengthens Ideological and Political education but also provides a new direction for the development of general education courses in universities.Future research should focus on further refining the integration of Ideological and Political education with diverse practical contexts and exploring its broader application in different educational settings.Additionally,the study suggests that similar courses could be developed in other regions to address specific local contexts and challenges,thereby enriching the overall educational landscape in higher education institutions.关键词
