Abstract

In the modern society, the diversification of the public's practical life has caused more complicated ideological activities which puts the traditional ideological and political education into unprecedented challenges and severely affects the effectiveness of ideological and political educating.Although a great amount of practitioners and researchers in the related fields have proposed many methods to the improve the effectiveness of ideological and political educating from various aspects, such as the principles of Ideological and Political Education, methodology, management theory, vector theory, teaching theory and environmental theory, a systematic and specialized theoretical study on the technology of modern Ideological and Political Education is rather rare.This research playground is nearly a blank space.

Basing on the above analysis, the present study proposes the notion of“Modern Ideological and Political Education Technology”from a technological perspective which intends to include this notion to the fundament theoretical system of Ideological and Political Education.It attempts to elevate ideological and political educating methods to technical level and enhance its technological contents; therefore, provides a new research perspective to the effectiveness study of Ideological and Political Education, which could also extend its subj ect development.Academically and practically, the present research is meaningful to a scientific cognition to the disciplines of Modern Ideological and Political Education Technology, to a promotion of the deep combination of modern information technology and the Ideological and Political Education cubiculum, to an improving to its practical effectiveness and to an accelerating to the modernization of Chinese Ideological and Political Education.

The present study is expanded from the following four aspects：

Firstly, a defined notion of“Modern Ideological and Political Education Technology”is proposed to reveal its obj ective reality and its internal regulation. According to the study on the inner relationship between modern ideological and political educating technology and the effectiveness of ideological and political educating, a concept is provided from a theoretical analysis on the obj ectiveness of modern ideological and political educating technology:in the modern ideological and political teaching process, under the guidance of Marxism and the educating disciplines, the modern educating theory and the modern educating technology are applied to the designing, developing, application, managing and evaluating of both the teaching-learning process and the related applying materials.The maxim of the educating effectiveness in theory and practice is expected.The essence is to cultivate the new generation to have lofty ideals, moral integrity, good education and a strong sense of discipline with ideological and political educating practice, which is a complexity of all the methods, tools, regulations and technologies applied in the activities.

Secondly, the main characteristics of Modern Ideological and Political Education Technology are explored and a classification is provided.Modern Ideological and Political Education Technology is political, ideological, practical, subj ective, innovative, systematical, cooperative, and comprehensive and so on.According to the fundamental methods of modern ideological and political educating, the classification is as follows:the technology of reasoning education, the technology of practical involvement, the technology of self-educating, the technology of the guidance of public opinion, the technology of recessive educating, the technology of psychological counseling, the technology of encouraging educating and the technology of comprehensive educating and so on.According to the basic types of modern ideological and political educating carriers, the technology can be divided into teaching carrier technology, culture carrier technology, activity carrier technology, management carrier technology, media carrier technology, interpersonal relationship carrier technology and comprehensive carrier technology and so on. According to the basic links of modern ideological and political educating, the technology is classified into system design and decision making technology, resource development and utilizing technology, implementing technology, manage ment technology and evaluating technology and so on.

Thirdly, the basic function of modern ideological and political education technology and its applicable principles are stated.Modern ideological and political education technology processes the basic functions such as systematic integration and optimization function, media effectiveness improving and strengthening function, technological attainment and ideological and moral shaping function.It could improve the quality and efficiency of modern ideological and political educating, enhance its reforming or developing and expand its scale.The applicable principles are:people-oriented principle, educating-oriented principle, dredging and guiding principle of combining, and high effectiveness and low consuming principle and so on.

Fourthly, the theoretical model of modern ideological and political education is constructed and its technological system and utilizing techniques are introduced.Based on the features of modern ideological and political educating system and the general modern educating model, the present research proposed the“Modern Ideological and Political Education Technological Model”, which is composed of the three basic technologies named“System Design and Decision Making Technology”, “Resource Development and Utilizing Technology”and“Management and Evaluating Technology”.Compared with the general modern educating model, this is a model which integrates the three links of“Decision Making”, “Carrier Chosen”and“Staff Configuration”.In this model, system design and decision making are the core technologies in the construction of modern ideological and political educating technology; educating media technology is the core technology in the process of practicing; management technology and evaluating technology run through the whole process of technological activities which could give feedbacks and regulate the whole system; besides, staff configuration and technology training are also crucial.The utilizing techniques of modern ideological and political educating is composed of the techniques to the ideological and political information obtaining, analyzing and predicting techniques in the front-end analyzing process, and the techniques to the chosen of carriers, media, test evaluating, feedback regulation, program determining and decision making in the process of system design.
