Study on the Path to Empower Adolescents’ Ideological and Political Education through Revolutionary Veterans’ Oral History
This study aims to explore effective pathways through which the oral histories of revolutionary veterans can enhance the ideological and political education of adolescents. Our survey on adolescents’ current understanding of red culture revealed shortcomings in existing educational practices, including rigid methodologies, limited resources, and a disconnect between theory and practice. Although adolescents recognize the value of red culture, these shortcomings hinder a deeper comprehension of its essence. To address this, the study proposes an immersive educational model centered on a three-phase process: “collection, organization, application” of oral histories, based on summarizing and categorizing oral history materials. Case studies demonstrate that this model, which integrates red education throughout the process, can effectively revitalize red resources, significantly increasing the appeal and effectiveness of education. It thus serves as a practical reference for guiding adolescents to establish beliefs and carry forward the red gene.
