Abstract:

The ideal and belief education of normal university students in the new era is a timely response to the “unprecedented change in a hundred years” in China’s normal education, based on their fundamental characteristics, historical mission and realistic deficiencies. From the perspective of curriculum, the actual weakness of the ideal and belief education of normal university students in the new era can be presented as the lack of teacher-training feature in ideological and political course, the tendency of knowledge-oriented education of ideal and belief, the alienation between knowledge-seeking and morality-building of varying degrees in other kinds of courses, and the problems of emphasizing teaching practice and neglecting professional experience in educational practice. The lag of curriculum concept and inertia thinking are the main reasons of these problems. Reconstructing the education-oriented curriculum system is the practical approach to realize the normalization and institutionalization of the ideal and belief education of normal university students in the new era. Therefore, it is necessary to construct core courses of ideal and belief teaching for normal students on the basis of existing ideological and political courses, and build the main course with ideological and political ideas, and deepen the practice course of the ideal and belief education for normal university students. The aim is to form a curriculum unity, with ideological and political courses that directly embody ideal and belief as the core, and curriculums that indirectly reflect the spirit of ideal and belief as the main task, and the practice of teacher training which highlights the ideal and belief experience as the method of training and testing.

Key words: normal students in new era, ideal and belief education, ideological and political course, curriculum in ideological and political thinking, educational practice
