在本科生教学中开展课程思政教育的实践探索—以西北农林科技大学水土保持与荒漠化防治专业为例
Exploring and Practicing the Curriculum Ideological and Political Education at Undergraduate Level—Example of Soil and Water Conservation and Desertification Control in the Northwest A & F University

水土保持与荒漠化防治是国家生态环境建设的重要组成部分，也是满足人民群众对生态环境幸福感提升的重要抓手。西北农林科技大学水土保持与荒漠化防治专业(简称水保专业)长期以来一直重视专业教育与课程思政教育的有机结合，并取得了显著的成效。从课程思政的历史出发，从水保专业实践与课堂教学的结合、水保专业课程与行业标准的结合等方面阐述了水保专业与课程思政的关系。分析了水保专业开展课程思政教育的必要性，指出课程思政教育存在的问题：缺乏科学的课程体系设计、学生及教师思想政治素养参差不齐、课程思政的考核和评价体系较为模糊等。针对这些问题，提出如下建议：在水保专业构建全面的课程思政教育体系；增强创新教学力度，提高教育者自身素养；加强教师间及师生间的联系，提升课程思政的协同育人效应；完善考核和评价制度，注重课程思政教育的成果评价。同时，把教师科研成果与教学相结合，帮助学生了解专业知识，提高学生适应社会的能力，增强学生科研素质，提高学生专业凝聚力，激发学生学习热情，推动水保专业的持续发展。
As a key component of Chinese ecological environment construction, programs of Soil and Water Conservation and Desertification Control (SWCDC) initiate efforts that meet the demand of sustainable ecological environment for local communities. The SWCDC Program of Northwest A & F University has long recognized the importance of combining professional education and curriculum ideological and political education (CIPE). Remarkable achievements have been made over the past decades. This study starts with the development history of CIPE, the ties between SWCDC and CIPE are explained from the perspectives of combined SWCDC professional practice, classroom teaching and industry standards. The necessity of carrying out CIPE in SWCDC program is discussed. Perspectives on the issues of CIPE at present required to be solved may include the lack of scientific curriculum system design, the unbalanced ideological and political literacy of students and teachers, and fuzzy evaluation system of CIPE. In order to improve CIPE, we proposed to build a comprehensive CIPE system for the SWCDC program; strengthen innovative teaching and to improve teaching skills of instructors; to strengthen the connection among teachers and students, and to enhance the collaborative education effects of CIPE; to develop an appropriate evaluation system that focuses on the evaluation of the results of CIPE. At the meantime, the instructors should introduce the updated scientific research results during the teaching in order to facilitate students’ understanding of professional knowledge, and their adaptability to the changing society, enhance students’ scientific research skills and professional cohesion, stimulate students’ enthusiasm for learning, and promote the sustainable development of SWCDC.
