Abstract

Based on the concept of discipline, shaping a new paradigm of ideological and political course teaching in colleges and universities has the possibility of breaking through the dilemma of realistic teaching, implementing reform policies, and respecting the characteristics of disciplines. It is beneficial to promote the content reconstruction of knowledge integration and in-depth learning, to promote the situation construction of historical creation and speculative learning, and to promote the value construction of practice-oriented and literacy cultivation. In practice, it needs to improve the structural integration and optimization of theoretical knowledge and issues, construct a real, effective, and reasonable knowledge situation, and shape a teaching evaluation that pays more attention to the process, endogeneity, and value, so as to realize the systematic innovation of the teaching paradigm.
